Could Netflix's Castlevania series lead to a whole slew of shows based on video games? Has there ever been a good series based on a video game?
Ubisoft says they are focusing on two "core verticals," and that's to return as a leader in the open world genre, and live service games.
Calling Ubisoft a leader in open world gaming at any point in time would be like calling Dollar General a leader in retail.
Well, to be fair, they did pump out good open world games before. It was used as a template so much that people now know what it means when you say it's like an Ubi open world collectahon.
I don't think they were ever the leader tbh. I've never really cared for any of their open world games. I do wanna try watch dogs 2 because it looks like it's set in San Fran. Looked interesting
Xbox and EA have recently made baffling moves that define how bleak the future of the gaming industry is with major companies at the helm. Ryan Bates from "Last Word on Gaming" posits in this op-ed that maybe it's not ineptitude, but intention.
Name someone that isn't trying to look us these days maybe cdpr.
Take two, ubi and yes even PlayStation are pushing us to own nothing and be happy with our live service ad injected games on a sub so they can raise prices at will and take access away when they see fit.
If it keeps up I'll be a full time retro gamer and this industry will be crashing hard
As rediculas as it sounds we need government reforms to defend consumer rights
Rockstar Games founder Dan Houser's new studio, Absurd Ventures, is currently working on a AAA open world action adventure game.
I'm really curious to see what he's going to do. It seems like a GTA-style game, but I wonder how it'll differentiate itself.
Oh god I hope not
I wouldn't want something connected but at least if it does well have more, well thought out video game shows
Assassins Creed, Alan Wake, Bioshock, Metal Gear Solid, Resident Evil
Each series would basically be one solid game adaptation if done right. Take Resident Evil for example
Season 1 - Mansion (STARS)
Season 2 - Raccoon City (Leon & Claire)
Season 3 - Raccoon City (Jill & Carlos)
Season 4 - Rural village in Spain (Leon)
Season 5 - Rockfort Island (Chris and Claire)
Season 6 - Mansion (Rebecca & Billy)
You get the drift.
F*** KONAMI
With any luck this will lead to new game.. It's been too long
Maybe to a connected slew of pachinko machines.
