"It is quite amazing to compare how many movies during the summer blockbuster season are original titles. Adaptations, sequels, cookie-cutters and remakes are all the rage nowadays since they promise the studios money. In video games, the same holds true. Sequels have always been an assumed prospect in the video game world. However, sequels may be taking a toll on innovation and creativity in the video game industry."
Movie tie-in games were all the rage during the '90s and at their peak in the 2000s. Today, there are barely any around.
Sony is in the middle of an FPS crisis, but bringing back two much-loved PlayStation shooters could easily be the solution.
I honestly don't think we'll be seeing these anytime soon, if ever. Insomniac is officially on Marvel duty since it seems that all they're working on based off the leaks, and Horizon is more of what the casuals want these days. And I now I'll get a bunch of disagrees, but keep in mind that Resistance last got a game on the PS3 (2011) and Killzone was a launch title for the PS4 (2013). 10 years is a long time to make a game, if had any interest they would've done it by now, add InFamous to that list.
Resistance 3 turned me off to the series but I’d love a reboot. KillZone I think can stay dead. Give me a new Resistance like 1or 2 and I’ll be happy.
I honestly never cared or liked killzone. Huge resistance fan though. I remember so many nights playing melee only on USS Lexington, and I like the alt history vibe.
The Metal Gear series, led by Kojima, pioneered the stealth genre, creating a masterclass in storytelling and gameplay.
No. But MGS5: Ground Zeroes might actually be one of the greatest Game Demo ever, if not the best.
Meh
Great stealth gameplay but the game was just average.
Bland open world that felt lifeless, the story felt shoehorned in, unfinished story etc. The whole thing was just average to me compared to the other main titled games.
I would have rather preferred it if they kept Ground Zeroes for the main game as the opening and the rest of the game turns into a Metal Gear 1 & 2 remake to bring things full circle.
Like hell it is. That was the first time I became aware of being sold an unfinished game and was blown away about blind fanboys saying it was some perfect game.
Yea, the first few chapters were great until they do that thing halfway and make you replay all the missions again. Then little things like capturing animals but only seeing a JPEG unlike 3 where everything was modeled out. Areas were massive, desolate, and boring to look at.
Game was a massive let down for me and the potential was so high for it. Honestly, this was one of the most disappointing games I ever played. What’s worse is it starts off brilliant. You literally play through until you get to the point where you could tell they just stopped developing and then quickly used glue and construction paper to “finish” it and then sold it. Quite frankly, that’s insulting to consumers and fans.
Yes and no. In many ways in was a great game; there's a very strong argument that it has the best gameplay of any MGS game, and that it is one of the more interesting open world "playgrounds" we have gotten, in terms of how the world operates. But as an MGS narrative, it is pretty far down the list, for many reasons.
MGS say no .....
...PixelJunk Eden, Echochrom, The Last Guy, PixelJunk Monsters, Pain, Everyday Shooter. I mean seriously...
Second Word PLAYSTATION...
Originality, User Generated Content, Epic Storys, AAA Blockbusters, Bitesized Casual Content, Offline Multiplayer Content, Online Multiplayer content, HD Videos, Free Online, HOME.
What else could one possibly want... Its all wrapped up in the black box.
Maybe its just an xbox problem, cause I dont see it here at the Sony camp. sorry.
Plenty of freshness here in PS3 land thank you very much!
Games are following in the Hollywood footsteps. Games (like movies) are seriously big money now, it's difficult to convince an investor to give you a lot for something that isn't guaranteed to make a profit.
Halo, MGS, COD etc etc all offer that little piece of stability that an investor can rest their hat upon.
But thankfully, they are still some development studios taking "risks".
was the best Star Wars, so no sequels don't suck, but we certainly could use more ip's. Thank you SONY uncharted, infamous, LBP etc.
and we still haven't seen one Jak and Dax game on PS3, and we still haven't seen Sly Cooper, Twisted Metal etc.
