In the year 1981 a decision was made which would forever alter the face of video games as we know them. A young gorilla named Donkey Kong was throwing wooden barrels at a spunky little plumber named Mario. What happened next influenced the level design and gameplay of most FPS and adventure games since.

A credible insider claims an Assassin’s Creed 1 remake has been in development at Ubisoft for quite a few years.
Hope so. I believe this game deserves it the most and will definitely need a lot to overhaul compared to black flag. It's really hard for me to play this game again lol
If any Assassin's Creed game needs a remake its the first one. I just think the original didnt age as well as the others and could use improvements
Good. They should remake all the Altair games. Him and Ezio are very well written and executed.
We've lost the argument in favour of games being art at this point. Maybe a remaster, some touch ups, fixes, a rerelease for modern consoles, bringing attention to the game that started it all, some appreciation. Nah just another remake. I've said this about AC4 and I'll say it for this too. Why not just go back to Altair's era and make a new game centered around him or the changes he made to the order after the events of the first game with a new protag?
A little something for Alien Day.
Lol
He's talking about games where you single handedly wipe out platoons of enemy soldiers like a walking tank, and he's worried that exploding barrels defy logic?
I do hate getting killed by exploding barrels in BF4, at the same time I find myself laughing at it a little every time it happens. Classic.. I think to myself.
i love when enemies stand next to a barrel especially if the game has a high level of gore.
im fine with the exploding barrel i dont care if it would happen in real life or not its a game i dont want everything super realistic.
The exploding barrel is a FPS staple. Along with crates, it just wouldn't be the same without them. Many games make variations to the barrel. But I'm having trouble thinking of a shooter that doesn't have some sort of "container" that explodes to devastating results.
I just finished a play through of Second Son (goody two shoes this time round) and while there were no exploding barrels the ammo crates were their spiritual equivalent. Extremely handy for taking down some of the tougher baddies.
I can't see devs ever not including some sort of "exploding barrel" equivalent in shooters. They just offer too many gameplay opportunities for such a simple mechanic.
