Personally I'm looking forward to Deadlight, the XBLA game.

guitarded774290d ago

Yeah, I'm looking forward to Deadlight too... and Ragnarok Odyssey.

r214289d ago

me too, that game looks awesome :D sidescrolling adventure but with zombies!

TopDudeMan4290d ago

NSMB2 is gonna be awesome. I'm also gonna be checking out sleeping dogs, too.

Adexus4290d ago

I'll be getting Sleeping Dogs and Darksiders, pretty awesome month.

Wingsfan244289d ago

August is just the start of our wallets demise haha.

DigitalRaptor4290d ago

Sleeping Dogs for sure. I hope that game does well - Square and United Front deserve it.

Darksiders II, maybe once I've finished the first one.

It's A Crime That There's No Sleeping Dogs 2 Yet

Huzaifah from eXputer: "Sleeping Dogs from the early 2010s is one of the best open-world games out there but in dire need of a resurgence."

LG_Fox_Brazil12d ago

I agree, I consider the first one a cult classic already

isarai11d ago

You say "yet" as if it's even possible anymore. United Front Games is gone, along with anyone that made this game what it is

CrimsonWing6911d ago

That’s what happens when games sell poorly. And I’ve seen people wonder why people cry when a game sells badly… this is your answer.

solideagle11d ago

Majority of the time it's true but if a company/publisher is big (in terms of money), they can take a hit or 2. e.g. I am not worried about Rebirth sales as Square will make Remake 3 anyway but if FF 17 doesn't sell then Square might need to look for alternative. <-- my humble opinion

Abnor_Mal11d ago

Doesn’t Microsoft own the IP now since they acquired Activision?

DaReapa11d ago

No. Square Enix owns the IP.

Abnor_Mal11d ago

Oh okay, Activision owned True Crime, but when that didn’t sell as intended it was canceled. Six months later Square Enix bought the rights and changed the title to Sleeping Dogs.*

*As per Wikipedia

Sleeping Dogs was a sleeper hit back then. It was fantastic. It actually still is. Would love a sequel to this, or at least a revive of True Crime series.

watching the video is better then going through 31 pages of gamingbolt.

LG_Fox_Brazil157d ago

Do they explain in the video why there are two numbers 3? Starfield and Tears of the Kingdom?

xeniate152d ago

It's always refreshing to see games embracing the streaming community.

Goodbye New Mario, I Won't Miss You

Super Mario Bros. Wonder is the first Mario 2D game in almost two decades without the New Super Mario art style, and it looks all the better for it

Am I missing something? It looks exactly the same, just higher resolution… Is this sarcasm?

specialguest306d ago

Yes, you're not observant if you think it looks exactly the same. It immediately appeared different to me from the start. Mario's 3D model will always be the same, so not much difference there. However, the animation they've given the Super Mario Wonder makes it look more like a CGI Mario animation where as the New Mario Bros game looks more like typical video game animation movements

__SteakDeck__306d ago

@specialguest Yeah those animations are insane.

FinalFantasyFanatic306d ago

You really didn't notice the difference? It's really obvious, I was surprised when I first saw the trailer.

Asplundh306d ago

"Am I missing something?"

Your glasses maybe?

Juancho51306d ago

This Mario game looks great, getting a switch for this and Mario RPG. CANT WAIT, TITS JACKED.

Profchaos306d ago

Yeah I liked how much more emotion could be conveyed through the new style at first glance I didn't see much difference but then rewatching the trailer I'm seeing more and more animations that remind me of the Mario artwork from the manual of smb3

Outlawzz306d ago

I hated the new super Mario bros Style. This new one seems a lot more expressive and less generic. I hope it's a good game

shinoff2183306d ago

I prefer the 2d Mario's. Me and my girl have played them all together and mario galaxy , Mario odyssey. The 2nd player option is extremely eh
