Sometimes, launching on the wrong date can end a franchise
The best shooter campaign since Half-Life 2 still hasn't been topped eight years later.
I agree with this. The time travel mechanics. The sense of scale. The relationship with your mech. The bosses all had personalities. It's a wonderful game.
Yeah it was good, but it only did the time travel bit in one level. Dishonered 2 did the same thing. Now how about a game where it's implemented throughout the gameplay? Singularity says Hello (and deserves so much more recognition).
Cultured Vultures: These 15 unresolved video cliffhangers could be solved in the future, though if we’re really honest with ourselves, we all know there’s no chance in hell of that happening.
Never say never, I really didn't expect to ever see Space Marine 2 and 12 years later its almost here.
So there is still hope for all these games.
I've completed 5 of the games on the list, but the author forgot to include Advent Rising. It was supposed to be a trilogy, but it bombed hard, and the two sequels never got made. It was Mass Effect, a console generation before Mass Effect.
The game is buggy and unpolished, it needed a few more months of development, but the potential was there. At the end of the game, you have all these super abilities, I remember the stomp attack that created a shockwave being especially powerful.
I personally think days gone will recieve some sort of sequel at some point. I'm personally also hoping it's not the rumored multiplayer online stuff. I'd think most that enjoyed it would rather thisnto.
Sony needs to dust off Sly Cooper and Days Gone so needs a sequel two of my favorite Sony titles. Bulletstorm I love great game wish it also got a sequel. And I wish Namco would finally give Enslaved a sequel another great game.
From mechs of the future and alternate history, suit up and get ready to wreak some havoc in the best mecha games of all time.
A best all time mecha game list without Zone of the Enders even on the list is 100% crap to me. Worth saying twice though not intentional
A best all time mecha game list without Zone of the Enders even on the list is 100% crap to me.
Motorstorm Apocalypse also got hurt pretty bad by the psn outage. Such a good game, too
Titanfall 2 could have been easily avoided. Instead of launching between the 2 biggest FPS franchises, EA could have held the game until February or March. It was a really great, fun game. It deserved a lot better.
“I always scratch my head at this one. Gran Turismo 6 was launched on PlayStation 3…a month after the PlayStation 4 launched. By the time the PS4 launched, evidently most of its user base was more than ready to move on from its predecessor.“
So? Sony released God of War 2 on PS2 month’s after PS3 launched, that game still garnered success and nobody complained about that. Gran Turismo 6 still went on to sell over 5 million units. Not many other racers can even do that on their best entry.
Also do you really think 80 million people just dropped PS3 and instantly migrated over to PS4 day one? Many people to this day still game on PS3.
“However, I feel the Dishonored franchise would perform better in the first half of the year.”
Dishonored 1 released in October and it sold well. Releasing Prey in May didn’t help its sales success, so Dishonored 2 was going to perform the same commercially no matter when it released.
“Rise of the Tomb Raider is a great follow-up to a great reboot in the long-running franchise. The title got a bit more buzz when it was originally announced as an Xbox console exclusive for its first year. It felt like a great opportunity for the franchise to get some spotlight as an exclusive and for Xbox to gain a larger market share.”
Rise of the Tomb Raider was getting a lot of buzz before it became timed exclusive, which initially turned a lot of people off. Bad publicity isn’t always great publicity. Making the franchise times exclusive to a platform it didn’t perform its best on in the past can’t in any way be described as a “great opportunity.” It was more beneficial to Microsoft than the IP, and even then the game still sold vastly better when it got brought over to PS4, a platform that’s part of a brand Tomb Raider has always done best on.
“ you got to really start asking yourself what Microsoft or developer Playful was thinking when deciding its release date of Super Lucky’s Tale.”
It doesn’t matter when a console exclusive 3D platformer gets released on an Xbox system, it’s going to flop any time of the year.
Surprised Horizon: Zero Dawn isn't on this list.
shadow hearts. came out the same day with FFX i think
