Five games to watch out for at Hong Kong's Ani-Com 2015

It may not be as big as the E3 - aka the Electronic Entertainment Expo that is held annually in Los Angeles - but the Animation-Comics & Games Hong Kong (better known as Ani-Com) is the closest local equivalent that previews and showcases the newest titles and products in the game industry. To run between July 24 and 28 at the Hong Kong Convention and Exhibition Centre, this year's edition will see the return of Sony with a bigger PlayStation booth as well as Microsoft's Xbox One, expected to unveil the popular Forza 6 franchise. And here are five most anticipated new games that are driving hardcore gamers around the world into a frenzy.

Doom 4

First-person shooter veterans will be delighted to hear about a new exciting addition to the Doom series. Unlike some game companies out there, id Software doesn't do sequels every year. The staff take their time, put in the love and push the current generation hardware to the limit to crank out amazingly impressive, fast-flowing and teeth-gritting pure first-person shooter action. Although you're guaranteed to get the best graphics quality on a top-of-the-range gaming PC, Doom 4 will be released for the PS4 and Xbox One as well in early 2016.

Horizon Zero Dawn

This role-playing game may not be a familiar franchise, but Horizon Zero Dawn is a breath of fresh air among all the sequels and remakes and remasters out there. If you've played Monster Hunters then you'll understand what sort of hunting RPG game Horizon is at heart. The E3 demo showed off a lush expansive world with mechanical creatures roaming the pastures. Make use of tripwires, bow and arrow, explosives and whatever else you can get your hands on to do what it takes to survive. While the world is expansive, developer Guerilla Games has promised it will have no loading screen. This alone is worth the price of entry.
