There's nothing better than getting lost in someone else's world
Games such as Mad Max, Red Dead Redemption 2, and Batman: Arkham Knight desperately deserve a modern-day revisit.
RDR2 still looks astounding on PS4 Pro. i cannot imagine how it could look with a next gen upgrade.
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!
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 ...
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
Rockstar Games' open world action adventure game, Red Dead Redemption 2, can now run on Android devices, but only barely.
Oh great. So glad this is a thing and not the current gen update we’ve all been asking for. /s
Red Dead Redemption 2 wins 'Best Game Sequel' in BAFTA poll, surpassing Half-Life 2 in a landmark victory.
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
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.
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.
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.
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.
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
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.
Sure, if you started playing game yesterday and just for this series. Otherwise? lol... No.
you can give a BIG thanks to Sony and the PS series for keeping quality single player games alive. special mention goes to ninty too. shame on anyone that says single player games don't have influence like before.
More “immersive sims” please.
They are the definition of video games. Not going anywhere.
This is what I am talking about.
Thank you Ken Kutaragi.
Thank you Yu Suzuki!
Shinji Mikami and H Kamiya.
Thank you Team ICO and Mr. Ueda and Japan Studio for telling stories through real time gameplay.
Thank you H Kojima.
Thank you Naughty Dog.
Thank you Sony Santa Monica.
Thank you Quantic Dreams and Super Massive.
Thank you SIE WW Studios.
The champions of storytelling through gameplay! The true game changers.
Without these guys video games will still be rrlegated and dismissed as a childs plaything... but no more!
Its one thing to design gameplay but to tell a story through gameplay is no easy task and takes alot of creativity, risk, time, effort and costs. Its not your simple kiddie eyecandy games anymore.
And these games geard towards adults are criticized the hardest compared to kiddie games which does not need complex storytelling skills to appeal to kids.
A score of 10 for God of War can not be compared to a 10 for a Pokemon game.
There will always be single player games because there will always be some demands for it.
But saying it's alive and well is like saying being a singer is a good career choice because Taylor Switf make millions.
"Yet if we harken back to late 2016, both Dishonored 2 and Watch Dogs 2 failed to set registers ringing despite receiving a positive critical reception (here at WellPlayed we gave them a 9 and 8.5 respectively), with critics labelling poor release timing and an underwhelming predecessor (in Watch Dogs’ case) as reasons for a severe dip in game sales.
Fast-forward another twelve months and all of Prey, The Evil Within 2 and Wolfenstein: The New Colossus suffered from underperforming sales despite reviewing well. EA had closed down Visceral Studios, cancelling their highly-anticipated Star Wars game with it because EA believed the game was too linear and wouldn’t reap the profits it would from a season pass and microtransaction-infested multiplayer title."
What has in common Red Dead2, God of War and Spiderman 4?
They had tons of exposure, media articles, hype and publicity
What has in common all the rest?
