With the traditionally busy holiday season of blockbuster titles now only a month away, October also promises to deliver several highly anticipated games for everyone. Super Smash Bros, Alien: Isolation, The Evil Within and Sunset Overdrive are just a few examples of what we can all look forward to playing as the days past by. Below is a detailed list of 15 games that should definitely stay on your radar all month long.
If you've got an Alien itch you can't quite scratch until Alien: Rolumus releases, GameSpew has rounded up the best Alien games to tide you over.
Does it still hold up in 2024?
We've still got a few months to go, but October marks the 10-year anniversary of this Insomniac Games title, with the developer having since moved on to work on the Marvel's Spider-Man games for PlayStation. It was assumed that Sunset Overdrive might make its way to other platforms eventually, but that hasn't happened as of yet.
So beloved that it sold so well that there's a sequel and Insomniac never had the opportunity to go back to Sony to develop games exclusively for Sony.
Not beloved enough for Xbox owners to buy it apparently, Xbox was the worst possible audience for that game.
Insomniac: “We went with Microsoft because we want to own the IP so it’s ours”
Microsoft: *owns publishing rights preventing the studio to re-release the original game, make a remaster, remake, any DLC, massive expansions and multiple sequels on other platforms*
The logic is just…I never got it
Owning the IP was Insomniacs main defence when they announced they were making a game exclusively for MS and yet they’ve ended up “owning” an IP they can’t do anything with.
If they went with Sony like normal you might have seen a sequel by now.
Sadly this may never get the proper fps update it deserves on XB (or even PS) but I now play it on steam and it definitely feels better at 60fps than it did at 30. Its a fast paced game... you need that 60fps in this one.
For those who don't have time for massive open worlds or role-playing games with epic tales, these 15 games are worth checking out.
This is a great post about games that's coming out in October, which is the month after September and two months before December.
Alot of great titles out this month. Hopefully most of them live up to the full potential they are all capable of.
Solid round up of upcoming titles. Exciting!
Things are heating up in October.
They might aswell rename October to Broketober!
The best thing is that there's a game for almost everyone... even to 7 people who a WiiU (that was a joke)
