VG247: Radical's Tim Bennison has confirmed that Prototype will have no multiplayer component, instead focusing solely on you, and you alone. Makes you feel special, don't it?
While the mainstream media always sees things turning in favor of the hero, here are 6 games that own being a bad guy.
Pretty much all of these games listed are based around a morality system you don't have to be bad and you don't have to be good.
It seems to have left out some real amazing games like red dead redemption 1/2,ass effect and true crime la/ny
Armored Core VI?
Ok, I'm really missing something here. Just beat chapter 3 earlier this evening, unlocked A-rank Arena fights. I'm not seeing or sensing any branching paths or morality system and I've done every side mission and arena fight available to me up to that fight.
Is something big coming soon to branch the story?
No mention of Grand Theft Auto? Saints Row (original trilogy), Manhunt? Also The Suffering (depending on the ending you get).
Trevor in GTA 6 is a sadist and psychopath who dabbles in cannibalism. Should be top of the list. These game “news” sites should hire people that know games.
As the world reels from the shockwaves of the seismic news that Microsoft is acquiring the proverbial swamp of the video-game landscape, Activision Blizzard King, it only seems natural that our minds should now shift towards what the fallout will be for presumably years if not decades to come.
Another Prototype would be awesome.
As for Singularity, I don't necessarily need a sequel, I just want to see Raven be able to flex their creative muscle again; not just be relegated to assisting with CoD. A lot of the old guard is still with the company.
That's part of what I'm hoping to see come from this acquisition. Revive teams like Vicarious Visions and Ravem to actually allow them to work on their own new projects again.
As great as that would be the deal wont finalize until end of fiscal year 2023. Until after that date MS wont really have a say as to where resources will be spent. So we wont realistically see anything until perhaps 2026 or later.
I think that’s a point that so many people are missing. Things will not change this year or next year at all. Maybe some changes might be apparent in 2024 but 2025/2026 is a good estimate of when things will really start happening. And I don’t think we will see as big a set of changes as some are suggesting.
Those teams having not worked on anything, the employees find jobs at other companies, they don't just remain unemployed till someone at the publisher decides to revive the team, they need to eat lol
That said, this list of games makes me unexcited for anything outside of CoD that Activision has to offer. All games are in stale genres, like Guitar Hero, Simpsons Hit and Run, these are long surpassed genres that are going to be difficult to revive.
@gamer75 if it is a combination it has to have my seal of approval. Such as a new Warcraft game or a new Warcraft mmo, or an action game based off the night elves orcs and humans if it’s a new IP. I’ll let you know after I talk with Microsoft
Man I’ve been waiting for Protoype since the last one. Protoype could seriously be MS’ answer to Infamous (freaking loved that game as well, hope Sony make a new one soon).
That's one I see being tossed around a lot to bring back, even if not from Raven themselves.
Put so many hours into those games over the years.
I'd like to see Activision get the Transformers license again and continue the War and Fall of Cybertron games. the movie games were crap and the game that combined both movie and Fall and War of Cybertron sucked a new Prototype would also be good as well.
You deserve a 1000 likes haha 😂. It’s a shame High Moon didn’t get to continue making Transformers. If they got a decent budget i think most of us TF fans would be excited.
Ms bought Activision and everybody dancing for what? For cod? Ms want to atleast earn some money Back from those 70 billion dollars.... The only thing they count on is more gamepass subscribers via Activision cod, diablo and over watch 2 1st Day free at gamepass. If they decide to make them exclusive to xbox they Will lose profit from ps4 and 5 sales. As For a New ip or an existing ip like over watch 3,diablo 5 or anything else like a New transformers Dont you think that developers need at least 3 years to Do something decent?
Anyway my opinion is that ms want to make videogaming Just a subscription a la netflix and that ps5 will beat xboxsx in sales like ps4 beat xbox and xbox one x..... All the money ms spending It Will defentily make more gamepass subscribers as for games we all must wait at least 3 more years... And thats why ps5 will get ahead in sales they have more AAA in the pipeline already plus lets see their answer for gamepass... P. S i Dont support subscriptions from neither company and i didnt buy switch plus for n64. If they give me the option to buy n64 games then yes i Will buy them but i am not paying for a rental.
Re-imagining of River Raid and the original adventurer Pitfall. Oh Zork is also a great game.
Movies and games have always had a closer connection. There has been an increasing trend in Hollywood to transform successful games in movies. While most of them have turned out to be disasters lik…
When this game was first announced, co-op was one of the main reasons I was looking at it, because Crackdown co-op was so much fun to play and I expected something similar here. Then came the news that they had cut the co-op, but that was okay, because the concept I still found interesting.
Then came the gameplay footage from On The Spot, or Fun With Spots, or HotSpot, or whatever the hell GameSpots video show is called....and that just killed it. The game looked TERRIBLE. Then they delayed it, which was a good plan, but when it resurfaced, it was still as something I found myself not caring for.
The guy is WAY overpowered, the city is bland, the enemies are pushovers, the graphics are sub-par, and without a whole lot of polish (as in, more than the week or so they have left before they need to go gold) none of that will change.
I may end up renting this, but it's far from my buy list.
I think Infamous looks like a better made game, more stable and looks to actually have a story you care about, not to mention the graphics/sound etc
This does look like a fun game though, but id guess it will be reviewed lower (just my opinion)
Infamous has no online either does it ?
EDIT: and ye i think its better for devs to either focuss on MP or SP instead of producing a mediocure both, look at Uncharted ! that has like the best single play experience and doesnt get boring on replay becuase it is so well made. Patching online into a game just so it may boost its scores or help people play it a little longer is a waste of resources that could have gone to improving SP.
Some games pull both off though, like Killzone 2, but that is with alot of time/money which most third parties dont have much of.
Superb news. Seriously, wished more devs would do this and focus on one aspect of the game and make it all it can be. Hate the mandatory multiplayer AND singleplayer trend of this gen. What's wrong with singleplayer only? It RULES.
I still think the game looks unfinished. The graphics and environment are pretty bland and the game just looks too easy. Such insane power you have. Hopefully there are some powerful bosses that'll provide long, challenging battles that give you a run for your money, because if the entire game is filled with the push-over enemies that we've seen so far, then I'll be bored of this game quickly.
Oh well. I will await the reviews and see what the "professionals" say about this one. I've got a feeling it won't be doing that well for some reason, but I hope I'm wrong and it turns out to be a really fun romp!
This game is really impressing me with all the stuff you can do. Cant wait for this to release. This + InFamous = awesome.
