Oh, cool. A bit related to that "games are art" statement from some game developer yesterday...

Cogo5284d ago

I love that he managed to get in a Rashomon reference!

Leord5284d ago

Well, you say that, but I've never heard of that film before I saw this article :P

AndyA5284d ago

From what I've seen of Heavy Rain, it seems like for once story is the focus. Which is a big step forward, IMO.

Leord5284d ago

It's like a story/lore renaissance in games. Me who love lore and backstories feel this is da hoot.

Maticus5284d ago

Games are interactive - you can make the story up as you go - which improves the experience enormously.

AndyA5284d ago

To be fair, though, not many games let you influence the story with decisions or, if they do, they're kind of cosmetic and simply lead to a different ending cinematic. Not enough devs have really made the effort with branching storylines IMO.

Shadow Of the Colossus Retro Review – A Colossal Experience in a Beautiful World

Zachary M. Cain said: Shadow of the Colossus is hailed as one of the best action-adventure titles of its time. The game was originally released for the PlayStation 2 all the way back in 2005. It was so good in fact, it got a remastered version in 2018 for the PlayStation 4 and was well received by old and new fans alike.

Whether with their fantasy settings, the ability to climb mountains, or just with the overall same charm as Capcom’s iconic RPG. Here's a list of games that will hopefully scratch that Dragon's Dogma itch.

cant wait for it, feb and march are busy busy months ha.

SovereignSnaKe119d ago

I can still hear the title screen music in my head after nearly 12 years. Loved every minute of it.

MrNinosan119d ago

I have no issues filling my time til DD2.
Granblue Fantasy: Relink, Infinite Wealth and Final Fantasy VII Rebirth will probably me more than enough.
More terrified I won't be done in time.

DivineHand125119d ago

Try not to burn yourself out before the game releases. This is going to be a long and immersive RPG like the first one.

The games in this article are all great and I believe the people who are excited for Dragons Dogma 2 probably already played most of those games.

For now, I recommend you prepare yourself for long play sessions if you will be picking up Dragons Dogma at launch.

Do they explain in the video why there are two numbers 3? Starfield and Tears of the Kingdom?

It's always refreshing to see games embracing the streaming community.
