Don't care much for reviews but I'm surprised expecEdt 7 and 8s. Did activision make a mistake?

TitanUp4297d ago

i don't get why people have low expectations for this game from the gameplay footage that has been shown from the voice acting it seemed like it would be a great game.

YodaCracker4297d ago

It should end up in the high 70's on Metacritic.

iXenon4297d ago

They were fools to cancel this game.

Nocturne1474297d ago (Edited 4297d ago )

Activision are idiots, they care only about Cod.

Nocturne1474297d ago (Edited 4297d ago )

Double post, apologies.

Nocturne1474297d ago (Edited 4297d ago )

Triple post, apologies.

Glad I won't be disappointed with this pre order. Looking at the review scores, so far, so good. Just waiting for the Steam unlock.

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_Brazil35d ago

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

isarai35d 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

CrimsonWing6934d 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.

solideagle34d 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_Mal34d ago

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

DaReapa34d ago

No. Square Enix owns the IP.

Abnor_Mal34d 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_Brazil181d ago

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

xeniate175d ago

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

Bloodborne is a game I still restart and play every few months. I would welcome just a re release in 60fps with a visual upgrade. It's a perfect game. If I was king for a day I would include the randomizer mods because then it would be a kind of rogue like and I could play it forever.

gleepot381d ago

Sure, ill take a sequel to all of these.
