Why publishers don’t follow the Rockstar model is beyond me.
Take you best IPs, focus on the making them incredible and forget the mobile games and shovelware.
Imagine a Final Fantasy game with the depth and attention to detail as RDR2. That game would still be selling to this day.
I would have preferred a straight up remake for VII as well but you have to understand that the slow unraveling that the plot was going to be something different while still hitting the nostalgia point is something really resonated with a lot of people and they loved it.
Every "casual" I know who played the remake absolutely loved it because of the plot twist at the end. They are also the type of people not to comment about video games on the internet.
Good!
What? You don’t just reinterpret someone else’s work without crediting them. That fact that 11 people upvoted you is insane.
The game feels like it wants to preach to you instead of telling a story.
TLOU II is an astounding technical achievement and still the most impressive cinematic game 3 years later. But the story panders way to much to left wing identity politics ideals rather than simply be interested in telling a great story.
Fanboys are delusional. Sony is literally pumping out the best games in the industry for nearly a decade
I hate the fact that they are just buying games to take away from people instead of using their literal TRILLIONS to make new and exciting IPs and franchises. Their incompetence stinks.
Exactly and buying a single exclusive game or even franchise is nothing like buying TWO entire publishers.
The problem @Asplundh is that it would feel cheap.
Even if the deal goes through Xbox hasn’t earned Crash/Spyro l etc yet.
What makes these games work is beloved characters in related worlds coming together.
Crash vs Masterchief would just be soulless and cheap as MS brand has no investment in the Crash brand.
Anyways, soulless and cheap is on brand for MS so it just might work.
N4G has more sophisticated gaming taste than almost every single media outlet who rated BOTW 10/10.
Keep on your tinfoil hat guys.
Massive PS fan here and BOTW blew away every expectation I ever had for the game.
It frequently resides at the top of greatest games of all times lists and honestly anyone without bias would clearly see why even if they don’t enjoy the game personally.
No.
Open ended gameplay allowing you to go where you want.
Deep physics system that interacts with all levels of gameplay.
Discovery as a core gameplay mechanic instead of a map filled with markers and errands.
That should be the new standard.
BOTW detractors really have me puzzled.
I get that everyone has an opinion but how can you not see the BOTW is objectively a leapfrog in open world design?
The physics based open world is filled with interactive objects creates phenomenal gameplay moments. Lightning strikes you if you wear metal or use a bow and arrow to set fire to grass and trees which then creates and updraft for the glider. Bomb arrows explode in hot areas. These are things not seen e...
1. Progress always means that some jobs would become obsolete. Prepare for that eventuality by constantly learning new skills and providing value. It’s not nice but whining and complaining does nothing to stop. AI will decimate alot of jobs in the next 50 years. Prepare for that accordingly.
2. For all the jobs that AI destroys it would generate entirely new industries that we can’t even fathom right now. (Try explaining YouTube to someone in the 1970’s) For example, with A...
I have no idea why but I enjoyed death stranding so much.
On paper it makes no sense ( a game delivering packages) but it became one of my favorite gaming experiences of all time.
I'm a simple man. I see Sony doing multiplayer games with existing single player IP's, I dislike.
I hope I'm wrong but it reeks of cash grab imo.
I highly doubt the Horizon multiplayer would exist due to an exuberance of creativity.
This is likely a "spreadsheet" game which is never good.
For multiplayer bring back SOCOM, Twisted Metal and Warhawk
Exactly. And when they are losing they want to buy the stadium to win the game.
I genuinely believe people who defend MS (like the author of this article) are low IQ.
How can you not tell the difference?
Making quality exclusives for your platform is ok:
Sony: TLOU, GOW, Uncharted
Nintendo: Mario, Zelda, Smash
Xbox: Halo, Gears, Forza
Third party exclusives/ deals are good too. Everyone does...
Yeah Square does that. After FF7 remake, I never watch the trailers for a SE game after the first one.
And the opening if GOW is probably THE most epic game intro of all time.
Games are different.
BOTW is epic because if the freedom, physics and detail world systems.
GOW is epic for story, epic moments, great action combat.
Of course, both games prioritize different things to create a great experience so comparing the two would obviously point out the short comings of the other.
Both deserve the 10s ...
Still no open world games as detailed and as GTA V and RDR2.
I’m good with one game per generation if the quality far surpasses everyone else.
Let them take their time.
