Top 5 gaming announcements - E3 2014

The video presents Linus Tech Tips’ take on the top five gaming announcements from E3 2014, delivered in a casual, viewer-friendly breakdown with brief commentary on each reveal. The top pick is Grand Theft Auto 5 for PC, with the host noting the lengthy wait since the original release and hoping for strong performance optimizations and mod support similar to GTA 4. Following that, he highlights Nintendo’s Zelda announcement as an open-world entry that aims to restore exploration and reduce the linearity seen in some prior titles, while praising the enhanced visuals and art direction on the Wii U. Dead Rising 3’s PC release is discussed with a caveat about the 30 FPS cap and the potential impact on gameplay, after which Rise of the Tomb Raider is praised for its emotional character portrayal, focus on tomb exploration, and world-spanning setting. The final item is Halo Master Chief Edition, a remastered console compilation that includes Halo 1 through 4 on a single disc, with commentary on 1080p 60 FPS targets and the potential for crossprints of multiplayer maps across the included games, though the host notes it might not be enough to persuade him to buy an Xbox. The host closes by thanking sponsors and inviting viewers to check out more E3 coverage, while implying additional content and sponsor notes would follow in future coverage.
