PlayStation Universe chooses its favourite 12 videogame openings, which includes the likes of Silent Hill, Resident Evil 2 and Metal Gear Solid 4.
EA has announced it will engage in a shareholder-pleasing share buyback program just a couple of months after mass layoffs at the studio.
MW 2019 is five years old at this point and on previous gen hardware, but it is still the best looking Call of Duty game to date.
MW was an excellent videogame. They messed up Spec Ops big time, but aside from this it was a huge step in the right direction initially. Most notably, at launch it seemed to come from a very cohesive creative vision that was felt across gameplay, to story to art style/visual direction. It was also very notably written by prominent ex-Naughty Dog guys that quit almost immediately before release.
That COMPLETELY dissolved through post-launch content and the full pivot to a "cross-mode" narrative that completely obliterated the cohesion in overall story direction. Warzone then "became" the new face of Call of Duty and the franchise completely removed itself from anything remotely creatively "good". It is a pure money machine, so I kinda get why they're doing it....but I personally completely lost interest.
I would love to see Infinity Ward move off CoD and get to make their own product with full control. They clearly have some massive talent in their ranks but it's perverted by Activision's corporate interests.
The Opening Levels that hooked gamers from the outset.
MGS4 definitely deserves the top spot. What an epic intro.
MGS4 .. Simply one of the greatest games of all time. What a masterpeice!
Yeah, MGS4 is the best bar none
I can't wait to see how this list will change by next year. Resistance 3, Uncharted 3, SOCOM, Twisted Metal... I'm sure at least one of those will have an incredible intro.
Uncharted 3 for sure will be another great intro
