VideoGamer: "Rumour has it that Mass Effect is coming to next-gen at some point, sending people into a frenzy. With that in mind, here's why that should happen, and 9 other games that should follow suit.
Interview with Stephen Russell, Actor for (Nick Valentine, Codsworth, My Handy) in Fallout 4 which is a vast open world role playing game set in the apocalyptic wastes of Boston, the Commonwealth. The career goes further with other Bethesda games from Starfield to Prey to The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim.
Replaying Skyrim after 13 years is a reminder of the progress made in western RPGs over the last decade, but also what's been lost.
RPGs are often huge, sprawling endeavours. With limited playtime, we have to choose wisely, so here's the best western RPGs available today.
"I started playing games yesterday" the List... Meh!
How about a few RPGs that deserve some love instead?
1 - Alpha Protocol - Now on GOG
2 - else Heart.Break()
3 - Shadowrun Trilogy
4 - Wasteland 2
5 - UnderRail
6 - Tyranny
7 - Torment: Tides of Numenera
And for a bonus game that flew under the radar:
8 - Banishers: Ghosts of New Eden
Not only glorious jank, but the idea that the story can completely change depending on what you do, or say, or side with, makes it one of the most forward thinking games ever. The amount of story permutation is the equivalent of a Hitman level but in Story Form. And it wasn't just that the story changed, no, it was that you met completely new characters, or missed them, depending on your choices. Made Mass Effect feel static in comparison.
Alpha Protocol was absolutely glorious, indeed. And it was, and still is, more Next Gen than most anything out there these days. In this regard at least.
Pity.
Meh, aside from GTA5 we need new games, no need for cheap remasters.
i wouldnt be interested in any of em, except maybe the witcher 2 because ive never played it
All these games are great just the way they are.
The only game that deserves to be ported or "remastered" or updated for the PS4 is the Last Guardian which is probably already happened.
You can already play all those games (minus GTA5, at least not yet) in 1080p+ and 60 FPS on a mid range gaming PC. Even Aliens CM got a pretty big patch that improves the game considerably. It still sucks but just a little less.
