It is a common curse in the games industry for a big title to be over-hyped and marketed to death. Typically, this leads to high expectations that are seldom met and the disappointment is reflected in lower than expected review scores.
But every once in a while a game flies under the radar and catches the gaming community unprepared. Last year we saw it happen with Crackdown and early still with Dead Rising. This year, I think that Prototype will be the game to surprise gamers.
To see the newest gameplay video hit jump!
From Marvel’s Spider-Man 2 and Batman: Arkham City to breakout hit Dispatch and new Marvel Cosmic Invasion, these are 10 of the best superhero games you can play today.
Not all video game protagonists are sweet, jolly, or wholesome. Folks like Agent 47 are cold, ruthless, and reserved and it shows.
I'd like to believe Joel's situation is more about turning into a calloused survivor in a cold-hard world who may have made selfish decisions. Not inherently ruthless.
Ah, fond memories of strangling all the people in their hotel rooms in Hitman 1
Lara Croft, Nathan Drake etc, cos they pretend to be the good guys but are mass murderers that show no remorse.
While the mainstream media always sees things turning in favor of the hero, here are 6 games that own being a bad guy.
Pretty much all of these games listed are based around a morality system you don't have to be bad and you don't have to be good.
It seems to have left out some real amazing games like red dead redemption 1/2,ass effect and true crime la/ny
Armored Core VI?
Ok, I'm really missing something here. Just beat chapter 3 earlier this evening, unlocked A-rank Arena fights. I'm not seeing or sensing any branching paths or morality system and I've done every side mission and arena fight available to me up to that fight.
Is something big coming soon to branch the story?
No mention of Grand Theft Auto? Saints Row (original trilogy), Manhunt? Also The Suffering (depending on the ending you get).
Trevor in GTA 6 is a sadist and psychopath who dabbles in cannibalism. Should be top of the list. These game “news” sites should hire people that know games.
I have been excited for this game for a long time and never understood why there is not more hype. I just hope it sells well when it comes out.
This far from release and it looks this good with a very populated city and no slowdown from what I can see. It looks great. Can't wait to play. Hope it has a good story.
(The second half of this video was amazing!)
Not in my circle it isn't, if I had to choose between open world games this year this would be #2. First is Brutal Legend and 3rd is GTAIV (and I've been a GTA fan since the beginning when it was on PC).
