These titles were ahead of the curve. Join Watch Mojo as they countdown their picks for the Top 10 Video Games That Were Before Their Time.
Without Jurassic Park: Trespasser, we may never have had Grabbed By the Ghoulies. Or Halo, Gears of War, and the rest.
A prelude to many things it was not the foundation or keystone for Xbox like at all. Also, Trespasser failed because the focus was his really, really bad physics engine stacked on top of a dog turd shaped like a dinosaur game. So if your saying this is honorary foundation material? no, it was just something in the portfolio.
Also hot at the time were Sin and Half Life. Trespasser was thrashed for a reason and it was not because those two were better, it was just a lazy cash grab with this doof’s horrible physics project being the selling point. Bury that dinosaur
For all the faults with trespasser there's a reason why people now make videos and opinion pieces on the game of how many decades in the future that game tried to be, not graphically but in terms of it's ideas.
Whilst I didn't agree with youre take, props for mentioning Sin. Those games along with Kingpin were a great era in gaming lol
Trespasser could have been a trailblazing game that set new standards, if everything hadn't gone horribly wrong.
But I think the game is kinda charming, despite everything or because of it? Completed it once and it can be very atmospheric and sometimes quite tense (the arm doesn't help ease the tension).
I kinda want an indie survival horror game designed around that horrible arm idea.
They are really trying their best to keep Xbox relevant in the gaming news. Xbox's decision to release more games multiplatform are really taking and effect and now it sounds like Xbox hopes it'll cause a January 6, it's almost like the same idea, incite a riot. Stir everyone up and not have to be the sad sucker that goes down alone. Misery loves company. This is getting nasty. Xbox fans are still in a fitted rage, like they learned to do when they were a kid to throw a fit in hopes to eventually get what they want or as an adult in jail that keeps kicking the door until someone shows up to tell them NO again, because that's the only way to try and get what they want.
Xbox fans don't want it to play it necessarily, they just want it to make them feel better about feeling bad, but PlayStation and Nintendos business strategy isn't the same as Xbox, people can't seem to understand that Xbox aren't the trailblazers. They're the the failures that are trying to think of how to survive when nobody can trust them anymore. So, you're getting random stuff like this to try and keep Xbox on the mind.
Really, it's not like Xbox fans have anything to worry about. It's not like Xbox gave competing platforms anything of value. It's their low tier games. It's not Halo, Gears, Forza, or I would say something from Bethesda, but yeah right, PlayStation has Skyrim, Doom, Quake, Elder Scrolls Online, etc. There's still a lot of Bethesda software on Sonys machine. Just let things go how they're going to go. YOURE NOT GETTING HELLDIVERS 2, ITS A SONY OWNED IP! THE ONLY REASON YOU GOT MLB THE SHOW is because MLB pressured Sony or they'd strip them of their license, not that anyone else was clamoring to fill the void, they wouldn't have had anyone, so it went and Xbox gave away Sonys game for free. Then you have Destiny, which could come to an end, as Bungie stated they wanted to remain platform neutral as part of the agreement so, it stayed that way, unless Sony now steps in and takes over, we'll see but, it's Sonys IP. Just because Xbox wants to go that route doesn't mean Sony and Nintendo should, let it go
Hanzala from eXputer says, "After multiple delays, cancellations, and ownership changes, the misfortune of Deus Ex continues; this gem of a series deserves better."
One can only hope at this point Embracer will need to generate an influx of cash flow, and what better way to do so than to sell off some of its IPs... namely Deus Ex, to a competent and talented studio capable of delivering a game noteworthy of the name in future. And thinking about it further, I don't know why Embracer would sit on the IP vs sell it if it means staying in business or not.
Some games endure despite the average player wishing they could skip that first hour - here are five annoying video game openings in otherwise classic titles.
I liked the Red Dead 2 opening, certainly didn’t feel like a slog to me, but I enjoyed that whole game so for those who were just expecting ‘GTA but with cowboys’, that was probably not the opening they expected, and Red Dead 2 wasn’t the game they were hoping for …
First game that came to mind when I read the title, was Watch Dogs 2, because you’re expecting an open world sandbox game in sunny colorful San Francisco, and instead that opening has you crawling and sneaking around an incredibly boring office building …
Watch Dogs 2 is a decent game but not really a classic. The opening is awful though. You got that right.
I loved the RDR 2 opening hours the first time but going back to restart it is where the rub lies for me.
Yeah, I agree it’s not a classic, but it was the first game I thought of where I really thought; Why would you make that design choice!? If you’re gonna do a thing like that in order to teach the player some basic sneaking controls, at least make the location a bit more interesting, like an abandoned theme park or gorgeous temple or whatever, but now the gameplay was restrictive and boring, but also the location itself.
@Yi-Long Definitely true re the worst possible choices being made for the opener of Watch Dogs 2. I did enjoy WD2 overall but that intro is baffling :-D
Whoever did the voice-over for this video probably hasn't even played Shenmue,since he didn't know how to even pronounce it correctly.
Every time I see anything Shenmue, it brings a smile to my face. I'm SOOOO happy its finally coming. I can't say I've been this happy for ANY game in history.
Hunter and Elite are both fantastic games.
