That’s cool. I hope it’s not zombies though. Horror is a big genre and it’s under-utilized.

thatguyhayat2714d ago

Yeah something new is welcome. Zombies has been rinsed out completely.

Kombatologist2714d ago

The market has definitely been over-saturated with zombie games, but I don't think zombie games have reached their full potential. The problem with most of them is that they make killing zombies a novelty when it needs to be scary. I want a Romero zombie apocalypse with realistic survival mechanics and consequences. Games like Dying Light and State of Decay have things I like, but neither get it quite right. Dead Matter looks really promising, but it's a Kickstarter project, so we'll see.

No More Room in Hell is a source 2 game you would probably be into.

I know youd probably want something with more production value but its pretty much Night of the Living Dead (1968) as a game and a very unique game to play.

Smokehouse2714d ago (Edited 2714d ago )

Don’t get me wrong, I think dying light 2 looks great and RE2 was my game of E3. I just want to see the broad genre of horror get a taste. I would much rather see something like a silent hill clone than a RE clone. Zombie games aren’t creepy to me at all. The games that got to me were silent hill and condemned criminal origins.

Concertoine2714d ago

A new condemned in the style of the first would be so good.

Smokehouse2713d ago (Edited 2713d ago )

Agreed. I’m a fan of horror so I don’t get “scared” but the first condemned came the closest for me. I thought twice about going down dark allies lol.

Looks like it'll be a zombie apocalypse game seen through the eyes of a cameraman similar to Michigan: Report from hell.

PaleMoonDeath2714d ago

Japanese home.. I like it already, scare me too death damn you.

Knightofelemia2714d ago

I will keep my eye on this title I love Namco games

DivineAssault 2713d ago

Bandai Namco have been making me drop dollaz lately. Tekken 7, Tales of, Ni No Kuni, Dark Souls trilogy, DB FighterZ, & soon Soul Calibur 6, Code Vein, and im sure a few others i cant remember at the moment. A great publisher imo. A few shady DLC attempts but all around great franchises.

Rockstar launches official marketplace for mods

Rockstar has launched an official marketplace for "every server and every player" to buy mods: Cfx Marketplace.

I wonder how much of this isn't just taken work of others who have modded for free.

Edit: Also, great way for R* to take popular ideas and build them into GTAVI based on demand.

What I see happening here is, R* is going to ban mods in GTA6 UNLESS you buy them from the marketplace and R* then gets a cut of that sale.

ActualWhiteMan15h ago

Ah, perfect timing with them taking down the Bully online fan mod. Greedy a$$ company.

Christopher12h ago

It's okay as long as they get a cut of the money.

fr0sty12h ago

Expect R* to force it on you.

Snookies126h ago

Yep, right there with you. I'll happily donate to a mod creator if it looks really cool, or if I enjoy it. But expecting payment up front? Nope, not touching it.

IanTH12h ago(Edited 11h ago)

I'm not entirely sure how to read this, as it doesn't seem exactly like an exact parallel to Bethesda's paid mods shenanigans.

Rather than single player stuff, this appears to be aimed solely on Cfx Servers. From what I've gleaned, apparently Rockstar bought the Cfx mod team several years ago, coming a few years after weird contentions led them to ban a few of their members. Ultimately, the question is if they plan to keep this contained to only online/servers.

I have to guess to a degree yes. It'd be pretty hard to "force" paid mods for single player when modding files locally on your own machine, but much easier for servers they'll control. So perhaps this is their soft launch ahead of GTA6 online and they'll clamp down more tightly on non-official servers going forward? Ever since they've become a 1 or 2 property studio, I haven't really cared much for Rockstar stuff, so I'm not entirely up on everything surrounding this. Sounds like it has the potential to be problematic further down the line, but right now fairly easy to ignore...I think lol.

Can this mother fucker just get lost already

PRIMORDUS1d 5h ago

He belongs in here ⚰️, hopefully sooner than later.

MrDead13h ago(Edited 13h ago)

Kotick Made $155 million from MS in the buyout, the little b*tch needs to stop whining. Thanks to this Microslop deal and massive industry consolidation thousands upon thousands of devs and other workers lost their livelihoods. This greedy piggie pervert needs shut up and f-off.
