Is it just me or does it feel like today was a bunch of news about delays? Even if indirectly here.

RacerX2175d ago

Saddest news was that Take Two made RECORD PROFITS because of GTAV micro transactions.

Gamers aren't pushing back. Micro transactions are just our new way of gaming. Sad.

yeahokwhatever2175d ago

@racerx
Yeah. Not only that, but the MTs RUINED GTAV. It's entirely pointless to even log on. They insist on showing everyone on the minimap in order to PROMOTE griefing because everything of any value in GTA can be purchased with real $. Griefing leads to anger, anger leads to rage purchases and orbital strikes. The whole thing is stupid. I'm real iffy about even giving them money for RDR.

Probably trying to curb disappointments from nothing at E3

3-4-52175d ago

what other games ?

2018 will be loaded in the back half of the year anyways so some getting pushed to 2019 makes 2019 a stronger year than it already would have been.

You'd think they'd just make an online based new IP similar to the online in GTA Online so they can focus even more on the single player for games like GTA or Red Dead while the newly created game would rake in the multiplayer money. They could just continue that one IP for like an entire gen, updating it until next gen comes around.

The brand name goes beyond GTA, Red Dead and the like...it's Rockstar. Put "Rockstar presents" before an announcement and you've automatically gained attention. They have the brand power, money and resources to make a massive online focused new IP game and to keep that game going for a full gen if they wanted. Just my thoughts,

Phunkydiabetic12176d ago

Yeah you know what? I think they are doing pretty good, I doubt they need financial info from some random N4G user.

-Foxtrot2176d ago

I doubt I have to listen to some off topic random N4G user...

ScootaKuH2175d ago

Yeah you know what? Last time I checked it wasn't illegal for someone to be able to have their own opinion. At least he was offering something to the actual topic which is more than you did

WilliamSheridan2176d ago

Im pretty sure that MP game you speak of already exists in GTAV Online

OhMyGandhi2176d ago

and I am pretty sure you didn't read Foxtrot's comment.

No Way2176d ago

I don't think most people do.

WilliamSheridan2173d ago

Nope, I read it. Why would they make a new IP, when essentially GTA Online is its own thing already...

Kabaneri2176d ago (Edited 2176d ago )

Such a shame that we most likely wont get GTA6 this gen.

DivineAssault 2176d ago

I think this pace would work perfectly.. These games cost a crap ton of money and take time to create.. Id rather have a red dead then GTA each gen.. That way it doesnt get stale.. If they could only chill on the MT tho

Prince_TFK2175d ago

We used to have many other games in between from Rockstar such as Bully, The Warrior, Midnight Club, and Max Payne. I miss those kindda games from Rockstar.

The 10th Rider2176d ago

Hell, at this point we probably get Elder Scrolls this gen either. I bet both will release cross-generation early in the next generation though.

Kabaneri2176d ago

We definitely will NOT get Elder Scrolls this gen if all the rumors about Starfield are true.

Abriael2176d ago (Edited 2176d ago )

They're making way too much money with GTA Online, and will probably make too much money with RDR2 online going forward.

2176d ago
Razmiran2176d ago

It might come out on mid 2020 and then be ported to the next gen in 2021 like they did with GTA 5

DivineAssault 2175d ago

Thats probably whats going to happen.. If we do see it this gen anyway.. I thought there were leaks a while back for a new bully game too

Razmiran2175d ago

Its weird, RDR2 is their first game in 5 years. But before GTA 5 they put out a game per year for a long time

Definitely Borderlands 3. Which is fine, though they'll be competing with Rage 2 next year. Both games will likely release between April and June to get away from the big holiday shooters.

IamTylerDurden12176d ago

If it's BL3 then i really lost respect for Gearbox.

IamTylerDurden12176d ago (Edited 2176d ago )

Borderlands 2 released in 2012. If Borderlands 3 releases in 2020 (i know FY 2020 could be 2019) it will be 8 years since Gearbox developed a new Borderlands and the sequel that EVERYONE wanted. An entire generation might go by without a Borderlands sequel. Presequel released 2014 only on last gen and it was developed by 2K. The Remastered Collection was nice but c'mon. We got filler like an inferior spin off via a different developer , a remaster, and a Tell Tale game when we really just wanted BL3.

Gearbox lost touch with reality and disrespected the one thing that made them relevant, Borderlands. They didn't want to be known as the Borderlands studio and they poored everything into a weird moba shooter instead of doing BL3. They just really seemed like they wanted to separate themselves from Borderlands and it was disrespectful to the fans.

IamTylerDurden12176d ago (Edited 2176d ago )

Look at what Gearbox did after the massively successful BL2 in 2012.

2013 - Colonial Marines
2015 - Borderlands Remaster
2016 - Homeworld (published)
2016 - Battleborn
2016 - Duke Nukem 20th
2017 - Bulletstorm Remaster (published)
2018 - We Happy Few (Published)

They even pimped out the brand to Tell Tale and they let 2K develop a spinoff rather than actually make the sequel everybody wanted. With all that activity Randy couldn't sneak in BL3 to the schedule?

Do you really question why i have an issue with how GB handled the franchise? Seriously? People disagree? I love Borderlands and every year i hope to see BL3 at E3. Gearbox mismanaged the brand and lost some fans.

moomoo3192176d ago (Edited 2176d ago )

@Iamtylerdurden1
You hit the nail on the head with ur explanation

Ricegum2175d ago

IamTyler

Yeah I agree. Great explanation.

TheGoodestBoi2175d ago

Yeah we might have had BL3 already if they hadnt wasted their time with Battleborn

dumahim2175d ago

@IamTylerDurden1
So long awaited sequels lose respect for the developer? They sure do seem to sell pretty well when the developer takes their own sweet time and releases a kickass game like God of War or GTAV.

I mean, I get it. I want BL3 done too, but they wanted to work on other stuff. As long as the game is awesome when we get it, I'll be fine.

6 Games That Genuinely Deserve A Current-Gen Upgrade

Games such as Mad Max, Red Dead Redemption 2, and Batman: Arkham Knight desperately deserve a modern-day revisit.

thorstein13d ago

Mad Max is underrated. Such a fun game.

Cacabunga12d ago (Edited 12d ago )

RDR2 still looks astounding on PS4 Pro. i cannot imagine how it could look with a next gen upgrade.

JonTheGod12d ago (Edited 12d ago )

Probably not very different.

No idea why this article is highlighting recent beautiful graphically-advanced games and saying they need current gen makeovers. They already look better than most new releases; just compare Arkham Knight and Suicide Squad!

exputers12d ago

I see what you did there.

Yi-Long12d ago

It's obviously never gonna happen since Sony killed the game and studio, but Driveclub. Even in its current state, 10 years after release, it still puts many competitors to shame ...

Demetrius12d ago

I'm not into racing games but yeah I even looked at gameplay of that sometimes

Demetrius12d ago

Mad max ikr! Far cry primal, it amuses me how ubisoft just left ac unity hanging, sadly most of the good staff left from rocksteady while being forced to make that abomination smh

hmm kinda out there i find red dead 2 a over hyped game i am sure there are other's out there worthy of this award.

Are we saying rdr 2 mp is better than the first one?

The cover shooting better on #2 than #1?

I mean they reused 80% of rdr 1 map on rdr 2

smolinsk30d ago

Red Dead Redemption 1 was better. A better story that's for sure but the world in red Dead Redemption 2 is fantastic. But overall yes Red Dead Redemption 2 is overhyped but with best living World ever made.

just_looken30d ago (Edited 30d ago )

Oh rdr 2 world how you leave tracks what you can do and the npc's are great no doubt

For me its the forced guns one way to play missions and the camp you can do nothing be a ass and there is no change sense none of the hunting/donating.bounty/karma etc even taking care of your horse matters. Then you got the horse inventory along with them bringing in realistic inventory but at the same time have that slomo crap pick a lane is it a wild west sim or a max payne rip off.

shinoff218330d ago (Edited 30d ago )

Plus who cares about the mp. Single player is where it's at.

I don't think it's the best sequel either. I liked it but I can see why some say it's overhyped. That's because it was. Great game still. I'd take xcom 2 as a better sequel. I'm sure there's plenty others.

just_looken30d ago

We care about mp because of gta v even if you been living under a rock you know what gtao did to gta v dlc.

Though rdr 2 mp failed it still put time/resources and budget away from the single player for a subpar experience compared to the first.

lucasnooker31d ago

Hmmm don’t know about that one myself. There’s some good sequels there….

No way last of us 2 was a better sequel than the original resident evil 2. The story of TLOU2 was a huge let down for me!

Assassins creed 2 was a vast improvement over the original and still the very best of the entire franchise imo.

Half-life 2 will always be legendary.

RDR2 is great but the best sequel ever? I don’t think so… just my opinion though I guess

shinoff218330d ago

Shoot down last of us 2 but bring up assassins creed 2. What in the world.

anast31d ago

Last of Us 2 would be mine and Dark Souls 3 has to be up there.

raWfodog31d ago

I also enjoyed TLOU2 but RDR2 edges it out for me. Both hit me in the feels but RDR2 just a little bit more lol.

anast30d ago

RDR2 is an excellent game. One of my top 10 of all time.

SimpleSlave30d ago

Sure, if you started playing game yesterday and just for this series. Otherwise? lol... No.
