World of Final Fantasy
I don't recall Sony forcing you to subscribe like nobody forced you to go to Blockbuster to rent games instead of buying them.
Pay-per-view was almost cheaper than the cost of gas and rental fee from Blockbuster. Blockbuster doesn’t exist today. Are you being sarcastic?
Gary Green said: With my fondness for (most) Final Fantasy games and my side goal of finishing off games in my collection with loose ends, a return to Final Fantasy XV seemed inevitable. It also serves as my third Final Fantasy platinum trophy after VII and VIII, a reasonable substitute since Final Fantasy IX is nigh on impossible to master.
A stunning Uncharted Unreal Engine 5 imagining has been released, featuring cutscenes, platforming, combat, stealth, and vehicles.
Created by Daniel Arriaga, a level designer at MachineGames on the upcoming Indiana Jones game, this fan concept is a solo developer project.
Hitman: I don't mind a AAA-game going episodic like I do the Telltale games. Telltale games can be played through but then you have to wait weeks (or months) for the next episode. Where as with Hitman, there will be plenty of missions to carry out until each expansion is released, based on how they've described the game. It's definitely a first time for a AAA-game, and there's a lot at stake here. As a huge fan of the Hitman series, I'm excited to see where this plan takes the franchise
The Division: Having spent some time in the Alpha, I can pretty much confirm a lot of what the media was talking about this week. This looks to be an even more fleshed out Destiny-like concept mixed with the tactical style found in most Tom Clancy games, which I prefer over most other shooters. The RPG elements were very pronounced and I can see myself spending way too much time in New York throughout the year. Absolutely cannot wait for this game!
I WAS excited for Tom Clancy's The Division until I heard all the comparisons to Destiny. I found Destiny to be generic and pretty much a bore when played solo. Yes, I understand it was primarily meant to be played cooperatively, but It was disappointing that a game with such an interesting universe that had so much potential for an epic story couldn't must up much of tale at all. I'll be passing on this game until I hear more about the story and if it can deliver a single player experience that can be just as enjoyable without having to play with others.
Yeah i willwait to see about this one too.
