SageHonor4414d ago

Good list, I'd like to add Mass Effect, Max Payne, Bully.

TekoIie4414d ago (Edited 4414d ago )

What aboutz Pokimons?!?! NO ONE will beat my beloved Pokimons!!!

EDIT: i would agree with mass effect but not sure about ME1 since it was more of a focus on your actions rather than the locations you visited but in 2 and 3 i totally agree.

DoomeDx4413d ago

Good List.

Though i think Killzone 2 also should fit in here.

Leio4413d ago

GTA Vice city also such a classic work

Philoctetes4413d ago

I would have added Arkham City and Dark Souls. But I can't really argue with the top 3. Those were all awesome.

JellyJelly4413d ago (Edited 4413d ago )

Damn good picks. Dark Souls world is very abstract in its design but still manages to feel real somehow.

I just completed Arkham City and what's striking about that world is how much detail has gone into it. You notice new stuff everytime you traverse the big map. The sheer number of environmental riddles you can find is testament to this.

I'd probably also add Skyrim to the list.

Blastoise4414d ago

Bioshock was a worthy number 1

Nimblest-Assassin4414d ago

Going to be replaced with Infinite.. so stoked for that game... it oozes atmosphere.

I would add uncharted, but its the characters that draw me in rather than the world... but the last of us setting could be something special.

God of War.. since their adaptations of Greek Mythology has incredible athmosphere

Halo and Mass Effect, due to their incredible sci-fi locals

Maybe Assassins Creed, since they are the only games that set themselves and the player in unique timelines.. i feel like Im getting a history lesson each time I pop the disks in.

But still a very solid list, played dead space, red dead, limbo and minish cap.. hell minish cap might be my second favourite Zelda game.

But truth is, one does not simply rank the top 10 game athmospheres.. too many great games to narrow down to a mere ten.

Blastoise4413d ago

Wow 6 disagree's? Fair enough. Bioshock had an incredibly immersive world. I do agree that demons soul's should have been on this list though

humbleopinion4413d ago

Exactly.
I disagree with some games in the list: I see how they might have been considered for their time, but today there's nothing really immerse about them - just like how I thought Alone in the Dark was the most immersive game back then thanks to the atmosphere that went all the way down to the squeaky door sound effect, but I wouldn't really call it immersive this day and age.

But Bioshock is def. number one to this day and age. Rapture is one of the (if not the) most well crafted places in the history of gaming.
I'd probably put in games like SOTC and Halo in there before a few others in the list thanks to the unique settings of each of those, but Bioshock, RDR and Dead Space put in the top 3 really get it right.

scotchmouth4413d ago

Blastoise I really agree with you. I didn't play bioshock when it first came out for some reason. I played it about 3 years later. I was still heavily impressed. From the graphics to the level design to the NPC dialogue. Bioshock had no problem keeping me immersed.

MagicAccent4414d ago (Edited 4414d ago )

No stalker?

Meh

MEH

ATi_Elite4414d ago

Any Immersive list that doesn't have STALKER listed is a big fat FAIL!!

GamingPerson4414d ago (Edited 4414d ago )

I don't know what ur talking about.. must have never played stalker.

Give credit where credit is do.

Saladfax4413d ago

I thought Metro 2033 was more immersive than Stalker, but...

There are some pretty heavy similarities, aren't there.

mochachino4414d ago

I agree with RDR, Riddick, Bioshock and Metroid Prime but the rest not at all. I'd add HL2, Deus Ex HR, GOW2 and more that I'm too lazy to think of to list.

MeatAbstract4414d ago

No Half LIfe 2?
Demon's Souls?
Shadow of the Colossus?

I just want 4k/1440p and 60fps support. And with little glitches too ofc.

Cacabunga1d 11h ago

Where is RDR2 60hz patch ?

Snookies121d 4h ago (Edited 1d 4h ago )

This is about the PC version of RDR 1. The PC version of RDR 2 doesn't have a frame rate cap. Though I do agree, it is mind boggling that Rockstar still hasn't released a patch for consoles.

XiNatsuDragnel2d ago (Edited 2d ago )

It'll be great if true

LucasRuinedChildhood1d 16h ago (Edited 1d 16h ago )

Hopefully 60fps on consoles for RDR2 is next then.

LucasRuinedChildhood1d 15h ago (Edited 1d 15h ago )

Honestly, a PS5 Pro isn't even needed for 60fps in this case. But if they wanted to use it show a game running maxed out at a high resolution at 60fps, I wouldn't complain. Just give us 60fps. lol

I think the Series X might have an issue running the One X version at a locked 60fps as that version was a full native 4K but they could just lower the resolution a bit.

purple1011d 15h ago (Edited 1d 15h ago )

I wish to play both stellar blade, and rdr2, on the pro, maxed out like an expensive pc,

would be good, especially for the price, even if thats £499/ £549

last I checked, a rtx 4070super was £580 for just the card!

DaReapa1d 16h ago

There aren't many games I'd double dip for, but having originally gotten this for PS3, I would happily get this if true.

EA Japan Exec Criticises Japanese Ratings Board

An executive of Electronic Arts Japan has criticised the Japanese video game ratings board for allowing upcoming action game Stellar Blade to be released uncensored while EA's own Dead Space was banned in the country.

CrimsonWing6922d ago

He’s got a point. If a game is M-Rated, which is the equivalent of an R rating, I don’t get why you need to censor anything. The rating is the indicator of the content and the age appropriate. If it’s appropriate for adults… why treat them like children? 🤷‍♂️

Eonjay22d ago (Edited 22d ago )

This is about gore... not about anything sexual. And specifically I think it is about the realistic depiction of gore. Unfortunately I don't know the nuance of the CERO board or how it is relevant their specific culture (as a prohibition on gore may transcend age) so I hesitate to make a statement. Can anyone else provide insight to what kind of gore is considered unacceptable?

CrimsonWing6922d ago (Edited 22d ago )

Yea, I know this is about gore, but thanks for pointing that out.

My point still stands, if a game is essentially rated for a mature audience then why censor for them as if they’re too young to view it? Makes no sense.

To answer your question: Decapitation, dismemberment, like… anything gore. They have been censoring that since CERO was established. Look up RE4 chainsaw decapitation or any MK games that made it there.

Cacabunga22d ago

EA Japan? Wtf never heard of that

ZwVw22d ago

Yet, the Oneechanbara series (y'know, the game with half-naked samurai females slicing up zombies to bloody pieces) get released in Japan uncensored.

The CERO ratings board is an equilibrium.

Smellsforfree21d ago

This confuses me since I've seen so many gory Japanese movies and anime. For example, Battle Royale.

gold_drake22d ago

definitely has a point.

but .. its japan. are we really surprised?

VersusDMC22d ago

I don't know if the EA executive is going off the one close up of an arm being cut off in the demo. Maybe it's uncensored because it's the arm of a cyborg or it doesn't happen that often (didn’t see EVE dismemberment when killed in the demo) .

In the states there's a certain amount of swear words allowed to a PG13 movie before it is deemed R. So maybe it's the same in Japan for gore?

Eonjay22d ago

Yes I think you may be on to something. The violence is gory but I wouldn't call it gruesome.

Retroman22d ago

Ea Japan please make Knack 3
in the future

Eonjay22d ago (Edited 22d ago )

Does EA Japan actually make games at all? Or are they just a regional publisher?

Retroman21d ago

I'm sorry Japan Studio made Knack

One Year Later, What Was The Point Of The Dead Space Remake

The remake teased an expanded universe, but now a sequel has no chance of delivering on it.

Honestly i believe it was mainly as retaliation for the original devs breaking off and making colisto protocol. They've done this a few times, ignoring fan demands for the return of a belived ip until someone does it for them, then they retaliate by only then announcing an entry. Colisto protocol was announced and EA announced the remake shortly after, Session finally hit consoles and skate 4 was announced, shortly after Undisputed was shown off, talks started happening about a new fight night.

ZeekQuattro28d ago

I agree. Reminds me of when Inafune announced Mighty No.9 and the initial reaction of the game industry was that of celebration and suddenly Capcom said ohh shit we need to announce Mega Man 11. 😆 Still waiting for MM12 & the next X title.

isarai28d ago

Exactly, it's BS that pettiness has more power than demand for some reason.

Cacabunga28d ago

i liked the remake as much as the original.. it has so many improvements, the most noticeable to me was the seemless transition between levels which should be a must and a standard nowadays.
I cannot wait for the sequel's remake too.

Tacoboto28d ago (Edited 28d ago )

That's a very farfetched conspiracy.

Callisto Protocol was announced in February 2021 and Dead Space in July. They didn't just decide in March 2021 to "retaliate" by remaking from scratch Dead Space in under a two year timespan.

If anything, Callisto is the result of a has-been Creative Director whose only inspiration is his previous work, and EA took inspiration long before Callisto was known about from the insane success of the RE Remakes and endless calls at the time for the RE4 Remake.

0hMyGandhi28d ago

So, how do you like working at EA?

shadowhaxor28d ago (Edited 28d ago )

And yet,fans of Dead Space, myself included, have been asking EA to bring back Dead Space for a better part of a decade. To which EA refused, stating that it was done with the series. Specifically after Dead Space 3 failed to meet EA's sale goals (sound familiar?) But magically, after they caught wind of The Callisto Protocol, with Glen at the helm, Dead Space remake was greenlit.

For those not counting, The Callisto Protocol call was announced in 2019, while Dead Space remake was announced in 2021. Long before TCP was announced?

badboyz0928d ago

100% that's the way EA operates

Extermin8or3_27d ago

You know how long it will have taken to make this game, this is some rediciulous logic.

Tacoboto29d ago

It was a solid game and we'll have to move on and accept it for what it is. Just because we're not getting a sequel (original or remake) doesn't mean there's no point anymore in what is a great, tense, well-paced single player experience. No one's taking Dead Space Remake away.

I just hope that the game isn't so technically stitched together on PC that driver updates render the game unplayable like what happened with me and my RTX 4070 last year, requiring a driver downgrade just months after the game came out. If you're a console player then you've got no worries.

TheProfessional28d ago (Edited 28d ago )

Yeah but it was a pointless remake since the original still looks pretty good. They should've done a sequel, something original or Dante's Inferno 2.

Way too many remakes now. Even resident evil 4 had already been remastered twice before the most recent one. No originality. Why not just hire the original team to make a new game instead?

Harkins172128d ago

For the hopes to get a new generation of people into the game. OG still looks good but it stopped selling long ago. So I get why they do remakes.

Knightofelemia29d ago

Most likely for EA to cash in on the remake craze that followed Capcom when they started remaking RE games. I am glad EA did it I enjoy the game. DS is one of my favorite franchises love the sci fi horror shit. What I don't like is EA not remaking DS2. So DS1 remake did not do well with the numbers so what. DS2 has a solid fanbase and is probably the best entry in the franchise depending on the fan. DS2 remake would have been a day one for me but I got a reminder on why I hate EA. Scrap the DS2 remake for a shitty Iron Man game.

chicken_in_the_corn28d ago

It's because the gaming community want remakes and remasters over new games.

mandf28d ago (Edited 28d ago )

Thank you for recognizing that. One group always complains over remasters or remakes.gamers want them and they sell. To the once’s that complain your console has no games to do again. If you did ,they would remake them.

Crows9028d ago

Or maybe we can tell most of these devs can't deliver good new IP for some reason.

isarai28d ago

When it's hard to find a modern game that isn't broken, incomplete and monetized to hell, remakes are a sure bet for having a complete experience as older games weren't plagued with those issues

Fonsecap28d ago

I think that is for the best of the franchise o be left alone then to be turned into a game as a service or something like that, EA has the awful habit of trying to monetize everything.
