Ppl were calling it game of the year on xbox 1 month ago. Now, it's just another indie that hardly gets mentioned. I wonder why...

KiwiViper852823d ago (Edited 2823d ago )

Because it's one of those games that is amazing while you play it, but you quickly forget the game afterwards, except for a few memorable moments. It happens with every game.

(When was the last time someone mentioned Uncharted4?)

IamTylerDurden12823d ago (Edited 2823d ago )

It's funny how this game was promoted as the second coming for the entire month it was on xbox. It was plastered atop the front page of Metacritic for 5 straight weeks and removed days before it hit PS4. Now that it's on PS4 i see hardly a peep about it. Almost nothing on N4G, nothing on Metacritic, and the only article we get is one that completely downplays it and rates it a 7.8.

GOODKylePS2823d ago

There's no global conspiracy. Just people's opinions.

Domoleary2823d ago

7.8 is a good score, no? If you read the article you'll see I called the game a modern classic in my opinion, the score reflects the fact that a significant proportion of the market won't agree with that assessment. I appreciate you taking the time to comment though, debate is what makes this kind of thing interesting.

aviator1892823d ago

wait, what?
You're partly basing your score on what the "market" potentially might think about your review??

Domoleary2823d ago (Edited 2822d ago )

@aviator189: To clarify, I meant more the fact that this is not a game for everyone, there's a significant portion of my gamer friends to whom I would not recommend this game, and a significant portion that I would. I see a review as a recommendation, and the score reflects that.
@IamtylerDurden1: Fair enough, I take all kinds of things into account when it comes to deciding how I feel about a game. Inside, frankly, lacks the factor that made limbo so special and while it's a great mystery tale it felt to me like something was missing. NMS metacritic score, to me, actually perfectly highlights how opinions on games differ, reviews of that game have ranged from 'the most beautiful game ever' to 'the most boring game ever' after all.

IamTylerDurden12822d ago

Then 7.1 must be a "pretty good" score. No Man's Sky is a 71 Metacritic yet ppl don't seem to think It's a good score.

You do realize that a 7.8 is well below the average scores for this game, right? It has a 93 Metacritic.

IamTylerDurden12822d ago

I see a review as one person's analysis of a game based solely on their experience and what THEY thought of the game. Typically the final score reflects the sentiment of the article and not whether or not certain groups will like it.

... because everyone already played it? It was like when Limbo first appeared on PS3, everyone already played it.

CDPR say Witcher 4 will be different from Witcher 3: "We don't want to be stuck in the same spot"

The next Witcher game will still be an RPG but players can expect new things as CD Projekt Red want to push boundaries and discover new ways of storytelling.

Terry_B13h ago

Each of the 3 existing Witcher games is pretty different from each other..

Kaii13h ago

My only issue with 3 was with the combat

bRuud831h ago

Combat was never the strongest part of the series.

Profchaos1h ago

I felt 3 was ok took a long for it to click but I tried 2 and I found combat controls to be my biggest barrier to actually enjoying it was about 50 times clunkier than 3

helicoptergirl13h ago

Bethesda seems like a studio that is "stuck in the same spot". Development wise. Glad CDPR are wary of that element in game design.

Hugodastrevas2h ago

This can either go very well or very badly. I hope the latter.

[Exclusive] Xbox Reaches Agreement With Batman: Arkham Trilogy Creators For A New AAA Game

Ex-Rocksteady directors' Hundred Star is collaborating with Xbox Game Studios Publishing for its first-ever AAA game.

Lightning7711h ago(Edited 11h ago)

Highly doubt it'll be an actual Batman game that IP belongs to WB Games along with other DC property.

They're making an action adventure game. IMO I think it needs to be another Marvel game despite MS already have Blade as that action Marvel game. Dead Pool? Punisher?

Realistically it'll probably be a new IP entirely.

The_Hooligan10h ago

I agree with you. I think I'll be a brand new IP. Now it could be a superhero themed, kind of like infamous. Speaking of which, Suckerpunch needs to make one after Ghost 2.

neutralgamer199210h ago

would love a infamous collection for ps5/pc

Lightning779h ago

I definitely think it'll be super hero themed game 100%. Something MS needs in their portfolio.

ThinkThink7h ago

Please, no more super hero games.

PhillyDonJawn7h ago(Edited 7h ago)

Dead Pool or Punisher would be amazing!!!
Don't tease me like that man lol. I see them making a new IP that's like an arkham knight clone

Dirty_Lemons3h ago

I loved the old Punisher game back in the day. Those executions never got old.

porkChop2h ago

I don't think it needs to be Marvel. It needs to be a totally new IP. That's what Rocksteady should have done after Arkham City. They've pigeonholed themselves as DC devs.

MIDGETonSTILTS1710h ago(Edited 10h ago)

I hope these devs needed support to start/finish (like Stalker 2), vs are basically done with the game but wanted to secure an exclusivity-bonus because they know Xbox needs a system seller (like Titanfall).

It’s a bit strange that they’d rather invest in this game than Tangoworks’ TWO canceled projects; or just trust a single dev from their existing massive stable of talent to emerge with a system-seller themselves anytime soon.

Either way, it is just cool that we’ll likely get a new IP from the geniuses behind the Arkham Trilogy. I wonder how creative they’ll get now that they aren’t married to an established franchise.

darthv7210h ago

This is about the former co-founders of Rocksteady and their new studio. So naturally it makes people think its Batman related with the way its worded, even though its not.

-Foxtrot9h ago

Exclusive? Sure

This year alone Microsoft has changed their plans so much with Xbox regarding multiplatform releases as they step closer to just being a full blown third party publisher and it's only been 4-5 months, imagine where we'll be once this game is finished. It will be a completely different landscape.

ThinkThink7h ago

I don't think MS will ever go completely full 3rd party with all of their games. I can see them looking towards expanding their own mobile store and moving into Mac as ways of expanding. I'm sure ms will bring more exclusives over to ps and nintendo, but I don't think it'll be as many games as you think it will. I hope I'm wrong.

Lightning776h ago

The ever contradictions thoughts and actions of MS definitely says otherwise MS changed up so much on the past 6 months of the year I lost count.

Though I'm more declined to believe they also won't go full 3rd party also.

But.

This year they're having Renaissance a super bowl of gaming with Gamepass this year. BO6, older ABK games, Avowed, Indy and other 3rd party exclusives all to grow and expand gamepass. If these games don't grow the service or grow only a little bit. Then you can fully expect MS to hit the red button and put everything everywhere. Satya will have full Xbox take over doing what he wants from that point on next year.

It's up to Xbox to advertise these games and gamepass in the next 6 months or so get the word out.

Profchaos6h ago

The more the news evolves the more I'm inclined to believe we will see MS embrace full third party status but not call it third party in their word soup ways.

It will be Xbox everywhere plays best on a Xbox.

Next gen Xbox is rumoured to be a reference design similar to the 3d0 where any company can make and sell it.

If you're offloading hardware costs to a third party yet still profiting from the games then you've cut out losses on the hardware you still have a store front that users can use and still make a 30 percent cut on that.

Your games sell for a profit on PS and Nintendo platforms and on Xbox reference hardware along with PC

You lose .kney on DLC and games sold on a competitor storefront they are seemingly already comfortable with this.

The ms bean counters are coming for the ROI that was promised they don't care if they kill the brand as it stands Xbox was never a profitable business it was always just done for reputation

PhillyDonJawn6h ago

@Lightning the would end the console then. No one would buy Xbox over PS at that point cause now you get both with just a PS. If GP flop for them, Logically, rolling back on GP would be the smarter than to do. No more day 1 title. Less quality titles. They'd lose subs but people would go back to buying the games.

Lightning774h ago

@Philly They could scale back gamepass put Indies only, AAA 1st party games coming 4 to 6 months from release. The thing is MS will have to tell their fans to buy their games again and that's gonna take years and years to condition them to buy games again. MS will lose money from that also. They'll lose out on gamepass revenue, lose out on games sales because their fans don't buy as many games anymore.

I can't see them scaling back or axing gamepass it does make them allot of money, they just want more money from it. They're not gonna condition their fans to start buying games either.

As I said they'll go full 3rd party and yes you ate right, if they do that then there would be no reason to buy the next Xbox. I know j won't be, you better hope the next 6 months they advertise the games and GP there little hearts out because this could be it.

Spawn (as well as master chief) are the only characters I associate with Xbox. Are there more I can’t remember?

rlow18h ago

Gears is another big game one.

purple1018h ago

Yeh big game, do you know the name of the lead character. Or team of lead characters. I don’t

rlow18h ago

Marcus, Dom, Cole Train. And I can’t remember the fourth.

Profchaos6h ago(Edited 6h ago)

Also the chick from gears 5 seems to pop up on all their modern advertising I can't remember her name either.

Cars also feature heavily in a Xbox ad it's always master chief front and centre with cars and maybe a gears character hanging around

Resident Evil Zero and Code Veronica Remakes are reportedly in the works, not Resident Evil 1

Industry insider Dusk Golem reveals that there is no Resident Evil 1 Remake in the works. Instead, Capcom are reportedly in active development of Resident Evil Zero and Code Veronica.

-Foxtrot1d 17h ago

RE Zero would be better to do first over RE1 because they can tie the story into RE1 more.

The original RE Remake was weird because Rebecca never mentioned anything about what happened in Zero and it felt so disjointed because Zero was developed during the Remake and they clearly didn't share any notes with one another.

Cacabunga16h ago

Wise decision. 2 of my favorites!

repsahj4h ago

RE Zero is one of my favorite game on gamecube!

Knightofelemia1d 15h ago

Give me Dino Crisis dammit Capcom

TGG_overlord20h ago

And all it took was +24 years + a phone call from me lol.

GotGame81813h ago

LOL! A phone call from you? ROFL! They have been remaking RE games for YEARS! It was a matter of time!
