excited for ninja theory next project
imagine them making a spawn game with the same attention to detail in spider man PS4

AngelicIceDiamond1871d ago

I have a feeling they're gonna announce some third party exclusives at the show just so they can give fans something until first party games are ready. A few more studios being announced, could be 2 big AAA acquisitions or maybe one big acquisition and one studio built from the ground up. Just my predictions.

TheSinsibleOne1871d ago

They only need one. Some new damn exclusives that are not halo, gears or forza. Some actual good exclusives.

Imortus_san1871d ago

You do know that they only release one new Gears of War (4) game and one new Halo (5) game this gen right?

The Xbox 360 had 4 new Halo games and 4 Gears of Wars games, maybe just maybe if they actually had more Gears and Halo games they had sold much more since the fans of those franchises are actually unhappy since they only got one game this gen after 6 years.

chiefJohn1171870d ago

Shhh you're spitting too much facts lol

Imortus_san1870d ago (Edited 1870d ago )

"You're missing my point." - I'm not missing your point, you people need to realize that There is Halo 5 and Gears 4 this gen after 6 years, there is no Gears and Halo games every year, Outside those 2 games and 3 Forza, everything else by MS is a new IP on the console, and yes they have done a very small number of games this gen, but there is no Gears and Halo every year.

Start using some real arguments.

IRetrouk1870d ago

I agree with your point but there has been 5 forzas released this gen, also wasnt the halo collection released as well as halo 5?, so theres two halo releases, gears I'm surprised has only had one game this gen, love that series.

rainslacker1870d ago

Seems you missed his point. Not a year has gone by where they haven't had a Halo or a Gears, and they've had a Forza every year since before the generation started.

They've had other games as well, but just because they stagger the releases of a couple of their staples doesn't mean they aren't leaning heavily on them. Outside CD3 and SoT, what games have they really spent a lot of time advertising as new exclusives after Mattrick left. At the start of the gen, they had QB, and SSoD, and more promise to come. Since then, it's been marginal efforts to market games, coupled with 3rd party marketing deals, and any new IP's are smaller games not made by their internal studios.

IRetrouk1870d ago

Halo 5 was quality, gears was also quality, along with the forzas, everyone knows they needed to release more new ips, and the ones they have ain't done too well, but they have tried, they just didnt stick, but saying all they release is those 3 franchises is overkill.

TheSaint1870d ago

There has been one of those titles released every year? I don't understand how you don't get that??

Make Xbox live Free?
You missed an important strategic point which can help them win next gen.

TheSaint1870d ago

Lol at all the disagrees, how easily people bend over and grab their ankles.

SheenuTheLegend1869d ago

that is really a sad thing but thanks for your support.

Imortus_san1871d ago (Edited 1871d ago )

PGR 5 or a RSC 3 by Turn 10, Crimson Skies 2 - by someone, Kung Fu Chaos 2 - by Ninja Theory, Killer Instinct 2 - by Iron Galaxy, Lost Odyssey 2, and that would make me hypped.

I’m more interested in what else he said.

“Neil Druckmann says new Naughty Dog title could ‘redefine mainstream perceptions of gaming’

Zezdh6h ago

Yay, more trans lgbtq characters and awful story lines

Jin_Sakai6h ago

I miss the old Naughty Dog when Bruce Straley and Amy Hennig were there.

H93h ago

It will be something like "we erased gameplay all together it's just a movie now"

purple1013h ago

every time naughty dog make a game, you play it and get the feeling "this is not possible'

from the boulder running towards you in crash, on ps1,
to the massive open world of jak and daxter, on ps2,
to the QuickTime events sequences of uncharted on ps3/4

and now we will see what they do with ps5,

Press X for doubt at "PS5"

And they'll cancel 50 of them, then lay off their staff within the next couple of years. I think Embracer's new logo should be a Boa Constrictor.

Ubisoft say AC Shadows protagonists will be "romantically attracted to different types of people"

Ubisoft recently shared more details about Assassin's Creed Shadows protagonists, confirming that both of them will romantically attract and be attracted to different types of people.

Hugodastrevas1d 7h ago

That should please everyone I'm sure...

RpgSama16h ago(Edited 16h ago)

Feudal Japan DEI LGBTQ+ Samurai, sounds very accurate for the time period. Surely a decision made only with historical accuracy in mind.

Crows9016h ago

Or even modern day accuracy.....

Lexreborn216h ago

You have no idea what you are talking about, bet you didn’t know nobunaga was bi-sexual. Or ran maru his is often depicted as androgynous was a “beautiful boy”.

So yeah, feudal Japan had tons of lgbtq and kawaii enough… A BLACK SAMURAI! All without the need of offending a Caucasian because the world is diverse.

VenomUK15h ago(Edited 15h ago)

This story has cracked me up so much! Bravo Ubisoft, bravo! 🤣. So last week everyone was upset that in the long-awaited first Assassin’s Creed: Japan game the protagonist is black. But NOW he is also LGBTQ+ ! It’s like the Ubisoft creative team sat around a table and said “How can we best impress our Kotaku/IGN/Polygon friends and antagonise gamers? Let’s make it woke x 100!’ And then they all silent clapped!

Just you wait until the Star Wars: Outlaws details come out, there better not be anybody complaining about Kay Vess’ dating preferences and the gay droid armies.

Christopher14h ago

It actually is.

Japanese were very Greek in their sexual experiences.

lodossrage14h ago

Lexreborn2 is right

Go read up on Japan's feudal era homosexuality and bisexuality was a very common thing in that time.

I just have to laugh because the same people complaining about this are the same ones crying about wanting "historical accuracy". When it's clear most of the whiners don't even know history themselves.

Christopher13h ago(Edited 13h ago)

Facts don't care about downvotes, btw. You either claim to understand historical accuracy or you just admit you don't like the stuff people did throughout history.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wi...

thorstein10h ago

Japan had no Christian stupidity about sexuality.

That's where your nonsensical puritanical view comes from: the Abraham's faiths.

It's feudal Japan, they don't believe in your religion's made up nonsense.

I mean, if you're going to embrace a particular viewpoint, you should at least be aware of where it comes from. Most of the world doesn't care about your ideals.

In those days, they certainly didn't care about your religion.

Get over yourself.

RpgSama8h ago

All of you guys missed the point, I even said I'm very sure they did it ONLY because they wanted to be historically accurate. Stop defending this, we all know why they did it and who they want to pander, it's not out newfound respect for history.

lodossrage8h ago

@RpgSama

Nobody is defending anything.

People are just pointing out the fact that after they just cried about the game not being historically accurate, when they SHOW they're accurate, they cry about it because they don't like certain parts of history

Not to mention you contradicted yourself RPGSama. You just pointed out you said they "ONLY because they wanted to be historically accurate". Then turn around and accuse them of pandering and/or having an agenda. Those two things are opposing statements

Cacabunga6h ago

Dumbest decision ever.. always online was a pass for me but now not even for free I’ll try it..

LordoftheCritics4h ago

It's made by Ubisoft Montreal.

Obviously we'll be allowed to bang anything that moves.

RiseNShine2h ago(Edited 2h ago)

Yeha pretty sure.

H91h ago

People actually telling you that Japan had sexual deviancy which is correct however what's hilarious is that they will act as if it holds the same moral value that the LGBT community holds today, oh the things men used to say about themselves when they are attracted to other men, it's not empowering in the least bit

Geezus, just make a good game… holy sh*t this is becoming insufferable.

Crows9016h ago

Oh yeah!!!! What about being inclusive???

I'm sorry
..please replace the word inclusive with stupid.

notachance12h ago

If they truly aimed for inclusivity they’d make the protagonist an Ainu tribe, this is just Ubisoft getting comfy with Sweet Baby Inc as always.

Hofstaderman15h ago

You asking UbiSoft to make a good game? This is not 2002.

thorstein10h ago

I thought you crybabies wanted "historical accuracy." Now that your going to get it, you're going to cry more.

PRIMORDUS10h ago

It's past the point of retarded, everyone seems forced to do this bullshit now in games. 😑

Barlos4h ago

Hell no. A good game or film is secondary now to the agenda and the 'message'.

It's not enough to be simply entertained these days, there has to be an overarching real world narrative. I mean look at Dr Who as a recent example. Disney have completely destroyed it all in the name of 'diversity'.

I take my hat off to you good sir. Brilliant.

Laskin14h ago

Thanks… I was originally going to write Samu-Bi but then I realized it was right there already so it works better

darthv7216h ago

Is that genuinely a selling point for people?

RpgSama16h ago(Edited 16h ago)

They sure as hell want to see if it is, time and time and time again.

VincentVanBro16h ago

You have to understand they’re incapable of writing a good story so this is the best they could come up with

thorstein10h ago

Well, after last weeks crying about historical accuracy. Now Ubi days, " Oh, okay, historical accuracy: here you go."

Now you're saying you don't want the accuracy? Can you guys just make up your minds?

notachance8h ago

Many entertainment medias do this nowadays because in an effort to boost the so called “EGS score”, investment companies such as Black Rock stipulated contracts that obligated fund recipient to conform to certain inclusivity standards, either by themselves or consulting with agencies like Sweet Baby Inc or Gaymerx.

notatallsurprisinggg8h ago

It's a genuine click-bait snippet to rile up people like you to push traffic.

Barlos4h ago

They can't help themselves. This path leads to failure. Every single time. But there's no stopping this ESG DEI train. If you don't buy it then the developers will say everyone is racist hompohobes. They will never, ever look inwards and admit that hey, we made a mistake, we gave people what we decided they wanted, not what they actually wanted. They'll blame the fans when it fails.
