Seven Games That Truly Defined E3 2013

Many great games were shown at the huge event this year...but these seven manage to stand out.

creHEARTive3972d ago

Mad Max actually looks interesting.

IcyEyes3972d ago

Mad Max is pretty nice, but to be honest that list is a bit "meh".
Anyway, it's just an opinion and I respect that.

gamerlive3972d ago

There are a lot of good games coming out and many of them are coming to current gen.

Timesplitter143972d ago (Edited 3972d ago )

For me it was :
- MGS5
- The Division
- Destiny

I dunno what to think about Mad Max or The Order. Trailers that don't show gameplay or don't even give a hint of what the game is like are not worth much to me. We'll have to wait and see

Cirran3972d ago

For sure. Those 3 games stood out more than any others. I could even add Infamous Second Son to the list after seeing the gameplay video.

sobekflakmonkey3972d ago

agreed, but my list is even shorter, I only really got stoked over The Division and Destiny.

TechnicianTed3972d ago

The Witcher 3 and Dark Souls 2 were my most wanted, but those games did look great.

Livecustoms3972d ago

The Divison and Destiny could both be game changers on the console scene !

Gotta give credit where its due here. Destiny did it for me.

6 Games That Genuinely Deserve A Current-Gen Upgrade

Games such as Mad Max, Red Dead Redemption 2, and Batman: Arkham Knight desperately deserve a modern-day revisit.

thorstein14d ago

Mad Max is underrated. Such a fun game.

Cacabunga13d ago (Edited 13d ago )

RDR2 still looks astounding on PS4 Pro. i cannot imagine how it could look with a next gen upgrade.

JonTheGod13d ago (Edited 13d ago )

Probably not very different.

No idea why this article is highlighting recent beautiful graphically-advanced games and saying they need current gen makeovers. They already look better than most new releases; just compare Arkham Knight and Suicide Squad!

exputers12d ago

I see what you did there.

Yi-Long13d ago

It's obviously never gonna happen since Sony killed the game and studio, but Driveclub. Even in its current state, 10 years after release, it still puts many competitors to shame ...

Demetrius12d ago

I'm not into racing games but yeah I even looked at gameplay of that sometimes

Demetrius12d ago

Mad max ikr! Far cry primal, it amuses me how ubisoft just left ac unity hanging, sadly most of the good staff left from rocksteady while being forced to make that abomination smh

Destiny Made Over $160 Million In Microtransaction Revenue In Less Than 2 Years

Destiny has made over $160 million in MTX revenue, and these numbers only account the data from late 2017 to early 2019.

Sgt_Slaughter338d ago

That's extremely low for microtransactions, especially for a game that's essentially designed around it

LucasRuinedChildhood338d ago (Edited 338d ago )

This was back when the game wasn't free to play.

The figures are from November 2017 to February 2019 (1 year and 4 months).

Based on that projection, the MTX revenue for Destiny 2 likely would have been closer to ~$240m for 2 years.

Not sure if premium expansions are included in that figure either although ... I'd hope that they are though and that most of the revenue was for actual content like Forsaken.

People spend way too much money on cosmetics.

Rude-ro337d ago (Edited 337d ago )

Seasons($10 and just got bumped to $12) and dungeon keys($10 each, two a year) are through the eververse(micro transaction) store.
So for those two years, in order to play a season, you would pay through micro transactions.

Sonic1881337d ago (Edited 337d ago )

Bungie Marathon will be worse since it's designed around it as well

Kurt Russell337d ago

It makes me sad to agree... but at the same time I am looking forward to giving it a go. Destiny 2 is so far in, I find it difficult to figure out what I am meant to do first.

buffig338d ago

I think FIFA alone makes over $1bn a year from mtx

anast337d ago

FIFA promotes a worldwide sport. It should make more money than destiny.

CantThinkOfAUsername337d ago (Edited 337d ago )

Let's compare something similar. Apex Legends and its ridiculous $18/$40 skins make EA a billion each year.

z2g337d ago

For as much as ppl complain how much they hate microtransactions, they sure don’t act like it. No wonder they aren’t going anywhere.

spicelicka337d ago

By "people" you're referring to millions and millions of people. Obviously the ones complaining aren't necessarily the same as the ones spending all that money.

There's millions that purchase MTX and there's nothing we can do about it

I had a blast with a Bugs Bunny game on PS1 as a kid. It is probably trash now but at the time, it was awesome.

"50 Cent: Blood in the sand"

Ps3 scored 6/10 all round loads of review sites but was so much fun while not a technical masterpiece in any way has a worthwhile engaging story and script and of course an unbeatable soundtrack.
