GamingLives Editor-in-Chief and self-confessed graphics whore tells of his jump from PC to PS4 and how, for the first time, he's now stepped back to the last-gen and playing PS3 more than anything. Despite muddy textures and lack of antialiasing.
"Even though I was drawn to the PlayStation 4 because of the graphics and the processing power – essentially a mid-range gaming PC in a sleeker shell – it was the world of inFAMOUS that left more of a mark. Days later, the PlayStation 3 was exhumed from its dusty grave where it had lain forgotten almost since the day it arrived in the household, thanks to the arrival of inFAMOUS and inFAMOUS 2. For the first time in my life, I took my familiar seat in front of the TV and used a PlayStation 3. It was an odd experience, as I’d grown used to the heft of the Xbox 360 controller – even during PC gameplay – but I persevered with the position of the sticks, grew accustomed to shape-labelled buttons, and made my way through Empire City in the role of Cole McGrath."
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.
NFS Rivals is getting shut down, Speedhunters is over, and this might be the end for the Need For Speed franchise
Better not be. I platinumed Forza Horizon 5 on my PS5, and I like NFS games BETTER that Forza Horizon. It's too easy to get cars you'll never use in Forza. It never gives you that feeling of being chased or scared of the Police when you have a high rep score or whatever it is. NFS is better in my opinion, or at least more fun.
Forza Horizon 5 is still awesomw btw,
I just found that I enjoy NFS games better. I think they're more fun
I don't not agree because it has been a while since I enjoyed a Need for Speed game.
The last outstanding release they had was Need for Speed Most Wanted 2005. That game made me feel like I was a character in the older fast and furious movies.
Forza Horizon not only has more than 10x the content, it is a different type of game that brings in something fresh. It is not perfect as I think drifting and the progression path sucks in Forza Horizon but every other game mode is on point.
Respectfully, NFS has about the depth of Mario kart when it comes to their racing games over the last decade or two
There's no way that will shelve the franchise but it does need to be redefined the franchise had many a reinvention over its three plus decade lifespan with high and lows and everything in between.
It's not dead but they do need time to redefine it
Huzaifah from eXputer writes, "My favorite type of genre in games is when enemies are merely animal fodder in the eyes of the protagonist's sheer power."
