2014 is a very heavy year for games coming out. This is true for all systems. 2015 is already looking to be just as densely packed with games.

My wallet, growing backlog, and I are all hoping 2016 is a complete gaming drought.

user65409483540d ago

Droughts aren't the end of the world. I can find tons of other things to do in the world. If still determined to play something "new", then get PS Plus, since it gives away tons of free games (yeah the games are old but most of those in my backlog are games I never played/finished before).

hkgamer3540d ago

its funny how games kind of lose the spotlight once they are out. ps+ is ideal for me since i am able to play games i have missed out. everyone else on the internet seems to go through every single new game asap and then forget about it.

hkgamer3540d ago

i rather have them spaced out throughthe year, but i guess publishers just hate that summer period.

game droughts doesnt affect me too much though since i dont really like every game that comes out. i end up playing my old ff games 99% of the time anyway.

Right? I wish Dragon Age or Far Cry was in the summer

I haven't had a games drought for at least 3 years Prob around the time the 3DS originally launched ever since then I'll play one game properly on launch and then jump back on whatever else I was playing and try to finish it all off in the mean time those 3-6 months if not longer after a system launches and there's a supposed games drought I don't even notice it because I just get on the backlog give it a couple of months and if it's my ps4 ive notnally got a few more free games and I will go get black flag and infamous at some point got Killzone which I've barely played and metal gear and last of us as I never got round to it first time around, think I'll set it all back up when I get gta5 at chrimbo again, but I like leaving some great games til towards the end ie I'm currently retiring my xbox 360 in the last 3 months I've finished off half life 2 on the Orange box and all its DLC, some team fortress, batman arkham city red dead and its DLC bayonetta and its been fantastic fun go out with a bang, but I've got a bit side tracked as I've started up skyward sword tho, 30+ hours in the so getting there, good job as I've also started luigis mansion and Gravity rush, games drought no chance, won't be buying many games at all this Christmas 6 I believe bayo2 gta5 ps4 smash 3DS and wii u hopefully plus limited edition versions of the 2 pokemon remakes anything else I can wait for and get on the cheap in the coming weeks months, got enough on that anything else other than the others above just wouldn't get played anyway so I'll just hold it out and get on the bargain hunter, cheaper games mean more games, why pay £40 unless it's on your top 5 or so say when if you can wait literally no more than 2-3 weeks sometimes and get it for barely £25-30, sure GTA or a game of that quality like smash bros will never drop in price that severly if at all but yeah majority of games do so just hold it out for an extra week or so save yourself a chunk of cash ;)

i think a reveal at summer game fest would make a bigger impact.
but we'll see what happens this week

-Foxtrot1h ago

So they tried to outsource FFVII's Remake initially, wern't happy with it and took full control restarting development.

Now they tried to do exactly the same thing...

Square Enix and the way they run a business baffles me completely.

Also why at an Xbox focused event when the franchise, especially IX which released on the PS1 is more PlayStation related.

Michiel19891h ago

they're bankrupt from paying for exclusivity for 4 final fantasy games

CrimsonWing691h ago(Edited 1h ago)

They have a reestablished relationship with Xbox now. I’m curious if Xbox will have forked money over to put it on Gamepass. I have a feeling… and I hope I’m wrong about this, but I have a feeling this will be a humongous let down.

MrBaskerville1h ago

Maybe this is a rare case where a square game skips ps, like Octopath Traveller 1. That for some reason arrived on xbox but not ps.

Seems like the Xbox showcase is gonna be packed 👀

Shadow Of The Erdtree Renews The Awe And Adventure Of Elden Ring - GameSpot

Tamoor Hussain - "Shadow of the Erdtree is more of the same Elden Ring gameplay you know with new weapons, items, and areas to enjoy. But that is something that no other game has offered and no other developer has delivered. If Shadow of the Erdtree's quality as a whole is consistent with what I played, From Software is on the cusp of reaffirming Elden Ring as one of the greatest open-world games ever made."
