Everything revealed at E3’s PC Gaming Show: Games like these make the PC special

“While the enemies of the Emperor still draw breath, there can be no peace.”

As announced last month, Relic is bringing back Dawn of War for another incarnation. An icy planet, a massive robot, and a whole bunch of Space Marines—oh, and a big ol’ space laser firing into the middle of it all.

Looks pretty stellar.

Klei, the makers of Don’t Starve and Mark of the Ninja, dropped in to the PC Gaming Show for a brief world premiere of its forthcoming game, Oxygen Not Included. Few details were revealed in the too-short trailer shown above. It looks like a space colony game with Don’t Starve’s art style? Look for it to launch sometime in late 2016.

There are all sorts of updates coming to Ark: Survival Evolved, including a dinosaur so big you can build a base on its back, but the best one? You can play as the animals, thanks to PC mods becoming embraced as official mods. You can walk and (maybe?) talk and dance and sing with the animals.

And if you’re a monkey, you can throw your own poop. Video games in 2016, people. Revolutionary.

You know what game looks great? Giant Cop, a VR game where you play as…a giant cop. Naked people on the beach? Pick them up from your position in the sky and throw them in the water. Man being mugged? Grab the mugger and throw him in the water. Hippies? Throw them in the water.

Okay, it’s gimmicky as hell but I still love it.

The original Mount and Blade was a freeform medieval warfare hit, long before that became a genre unto itself. A sequel? With all that 2016 technology can offer? Great. Siege warfare is the tentpole feature of Mount and Blade II: Bannerlord, with all sorts of siege engines and the ability to plan which side of a castle you attack from.

Developer Taleworlds also talked modding. The big news? Access to the full developer tools, and the ability to combine mods.

You want Talos Principle 2. I want Talos Principle 2. But in the meantime, Croteam is revisiting its previous game, Serious Sam, this time in virtual reality.

It’s more of a lightgun game than anything else, with you standing stationary while enemies run straight at you, but with Serious Sam‘s penchant for huge weapons it looks like it could be a decent time-waster. Look for it to land on the HTC Vive and Steam VR later this summer.

I still think going from Life is Strange straight to Vampyr is probably one of the weirder developer transitions I’ve seen in a long time, but that doesn’t mean I’m any less excited. Vampyr looks a bit Souls-esque, or maybe Bloodborne-esque given the Victorian England-ish setting—but other than a short gameplay trailer, we didn’t see much.

Killing Floor 2 has been in Early Access fooooooorever. Like, since before the last PC Gaming Show. And…it’s still in Early Access.

But there’s a new “Bulls-Eye” update coming, which adds the ability to play as the Zed, a new character, and a Sharpshooter perk for all you wannabe snipers.

Another one for the VR column, Killing Floor Incursion brings the zombie-shooting action to the Oculus Rift and Oculus Touch. It looks like it’ll make for a decent horror experience on VR, though I have very little idea how it’ll play. I assume, like Serious Sam, it’ll be a stand-in-place-and-shoot game.

I remember seeing a VR version of Superhot at E3 like two years ago. Now? It’s real. And it’s apparently not just a port of the game we already played earlier this year, or support being added to that game. It’s a different title entirely.

I’m excited, because Superhot‘s bullet-time style time-freezing is a lot more impressive when you’re actually doing Matrix-esque moves in real life.

As far as ten-second teasers go, Observer is on the low end of conveying what the hell is going on. But you know what? All they had to do was say it’s the same developers that made Layers of Fear, because that was a solid horror title.

And luckily they followed up with a brief gameplay video afterward. It looks like it might employ the same space-manipulating tech from Layers of Fear, with environments changing on you when you turn your back. I’m digging the Soma-esque sci-fi aesthetic too.

Bohemia returned to the PC Gaming Show stage this year, once again showing off a massive Arma III update, subtitled Apex. Coming July 11, Apex will focus on vehicles large and small as players traverse a Pacific archipelago called Tanoa.

The big news? A preview build went live during the show, if you want to get working on mods before official launch.

Are there robots on Europa? Puzzle game The Turing Test looks like another in a long line of Portal-esque puzzle games, but I played a bit of it at GDC and enjoyed it. The main mechanic here involves moving balls of energy around to open doors, power elevators, and et cetera. Here’s hoping it’s as good as The Talos Principle.

So while No Man’s Sky‘s been mired in delay after delay, someone else swooped in and said “Fine, we’ll make the same exact game.” Novaquark took to the PC Gaming Show stage to announce Dual Universe, a space-lite game where you can seamlessly fly from planet to planet and construct cities to live in.

Also, it’s a “single-shard universe,” meaning everyone is in the same game at the same time—not a one-person universe like No Man’s Sky. Impressive, if it’s real. It’s a ways off though, with the game not planned to even enter alpha until end of the year.

Torn Banner Studios, the team behind the blockbuster Chivalry, popped into the PC Gaming Show to reveal a new trailer for Mirage: Arcane Warfare. It’s a brutal multiplayer combat game, much like Chivalry, but in a far more colorful world.

Hey, you got Rocket League in my Warframe! The frenetic free-to-play tital Warframe is getting a new game mode that’s basically Rocket League with ninjas and explosions. There’s goals, a ball, and claws that looks like jai alai scoops. It feels like a bit of a weird fit for Warframe, but the furious pace might just make sports and ninjas go together like peanut butter and jelly.
