Nice list

Always up for a new JRPG

Tales of Xillia 2 looks good to me

BootHammer3559d ago

It does look good! At least we get a handful of good releases this month before the giant wave of games hit in September and October.

No Disgaea 4 Vita ? what?

Other than that, solid list.

PiNkFaIrYbOi3559d ago

Finally a list with Tales Of Xillia 2.

LAWSON723559d ago (Edited 3559d ago )

I am looking forward to Tales of Xillia 2 but I think I need to play alot more of the first, so maybe I will get it for Christmas like I did the first one.

Metro Redux is an awesome addition to next gen and I hope it helps the games become more popular. I would not pay full price because I played both on PC already but may pick it up eventually.

Whatsupdog3559d ago

Will probably try Risen 3, since the devs keep emphasising the back to the Gothic roots aspect of it.

The Tales Of series are some of the best RPGs I've ever played, and the characters are a big reason for that. I don't think I played a single game in the series that I didn't enjoy. Rest in peace.

Damn, that sucks to hear... His designs were always wonderful.

RIP, sheade some great designs, man it's one after the other this year

FinalFantasyFanatic44d ago

We're 3 months into the year and I feel like we're taking nothing but L's.

autobotdan45d ago

Wow she was the character designer for Tales of Destiny one of my favorites of all time =(

scorpio_204945d ago

I love the Tales games. Phantasia will always be my favorite. Ironically I felt like as the series progressed the character design became too “anime cliche.”

I'm playing this game at the moment and it feels like a cellphone game. It's okay, but it feels cheap and overly simplified.

Haven’t played Diablo since the original and I think the last two stayed close to that formula which for the time was said to be good. I didn’t find the game style to my liking and gave up on it. What was considered good pc tech decades ago seems like mobile phone fodder I guess, kind of neat to see the difference over time.

DOMination-1004d ago

It's nearly ten years old. The point of the game is not to look good, but to have fun creating a build that can survive on the harder difficulties.

THRASHMOUTH1004d ago

This. End game grinding and pushing your character(s) up the leaderboards.

anast1004d ago

Coming from Diablo 2I }always avoided this game, but I went ahead and tried it. I don't get how people think it's a good game. It's okay, but it's crazy how much it isn't good.

Takwin1004d ago

It works. I installed it on my Series X. I hope they can't or won't take it away!

VenomUK1004d ago

@Takwin Make sure to start playing it! Surely they can't rescind your ownership once you've already got a save game file?

KillBill1004d ago

The download does not insinuate ownership. As always they have allowed Gold play of some games for members. A FREE period of play is offered for a limited time and little more. The option here is for installation... not for purchase/ownership.

Red Faction, Second Sight, Painkiller, and Others Change Publisher Hands

Ownership over several titles gets shuffled in THQ Nordic and Koch Media arrangement. Potential remasters, sequels, ports, and more on the horizon.

Hopefully this leads to a new Red Faction and Risen.

isarai1457d ago

Oh SNAP! i would love a sequel to second sight, loved the first one.

AK911457d ago

I'd prefer if we got a 4K remaster first

Chaos_Order1457d ago

Second Sight is highly underrated.

Sciurus_vulgaris1457d ago

Both THQ and Koch Media are owned by the same larger company, the Embracer Group. I’m not sure why the publishing rights would need to be swapped.

rawshack1457d ago (Edited 1457d ago )

I hope they release risen on switch It's a underrated game all so
