Richard writes: "One of the most intriguing elements - at least personally for me - in video games is the rich narratives that they tell. A good narrative can keep a player engaged for hours on end and can even make a mediocre game more than the sum of its other parts. 2019 has had its fair share of excellent storylines and memorable characters that will stick with us, each set in a variety of amazingly refreshed worlds and times."
Video games are no longer just a simple past time. Today's games are evolving into true works of art. Offering intriguing narratives, cinematic setpieces, and profound messages, games can entertain us for hundreds of hours.
I never got around to mass effect - I’m skeptical that it would hold up if I were to try it now
Alan Wake 2 studio Remedy Entertainment has reclaimed the rights to Control, and now sci-fi hit Quantum Break deserves the same treatment.
Totally agree with that especially when Quantum Break has several references to Alan Wake and Alan Wake make allusions to QB.
I do believe that MS and Remedy can work things out and MS has usually been nice to devs and publishers regarding IP.
Reclaim? That would mean that they actually owned the ip at one point, which they never did (MS always has). Apples & oranges. Remedy always owned the Control ip (just not the publishing), as they have with Alan Wake.
About as likely as them getting the Max Payne rights from Rockstar.
Sending you game to a publisher does not mean they get "rights to own it " unless that was part of the contract (monetary/ strategic reasons). 505 was the publisher they worked with to publish and distribute it, it dos not mean that 505 flat out "owned" anything, clearly they did have a special arrangement that made them open to limit their publishing rights. and so here we are and big whoop
Yeah get Quantum Break PS5, only if you put it on disc with all the associated movie material.
I mean they got the Alan Wake IP back from MS, so I feel like they could get QB back as well
Remedy Entertainment has announced that they've purchased the full rights to the Control franchise from 505 Games.
For me it's Days Gone. The writing and voice acting are excellent. Really good story too and I'd love to see a sequel on PS5. I think this might be my favourite game of 2019.
Man, being an Xbone exclusive site really hampers the selections for this category. I kind of lol’d at the number 1 choice, but they needed to fill that spot with something I guess.
