Completely agree, we all know DICE can do good multiplayer regardless of the game’s IP but the Bad Company games have so much more personality. Battlefield 3′s biggest flaw was it’s single-player offering, and I can see the same thing happening with Battlefield 4.
I did read that the Battlefield team still have a strong interest in doing another Bad Company game, so hopefully there will be another one at some point.
Blacklight: Retribution is another good one.
Possibly, I was surprised there were no Wii Sports/Play titles announced at E3. I'm not sure how they'll find a market if they turn their back on casual gamers and don't offer anything but ports of more 'hardcore' games (e.g. Mass Effect/Batman).
I know I'm at a minority but I do think Uncharted 3 was better than 2. Online multilpayer was greatly improved and the campaign was better gameplay wise if not narrative wise.
I feel the same with Uncharted. And Portal for that matter.
Both Halo 3 and Reach have some wonderful moments that will certainly be remembered.
Agreed, the whole opening scene of Fallout 3 was very well done. Glad you liked it!
I think Crytek said recently that the future was in F2P games. I'm sure we'll be seeing a lot of more of them soon, especially on consoles.
It certainly has a chance but the remaining episodes will have to be really, really good to compete with Journey.
With so many titles being pushed back to 2013 though, (The Last of Us, BioShock Infinite etc), there's no reason why The Walking Dead can't do it.
I agree a lot of the games are really good, but it does look like they've chosen the ones that didn't sell well.
Sounds like the sort of thing I'd love to play but Skyrim has a ridiculous number of issues when I try to run it on PS3. If they release a patch that fixes the framerate/crashing problems I'll definitely give it a go.
Hopefully people will speak with their wallets and not buy Dead Space 3, as if it sells better than the first two it'll just become another action franchise.
I don't think gaming needs to grow up any more than films, whilst there are plenty of heavily sexualised games like Lollipop Chainsaw there are several other 'mature' experiences to be found.
I'd of put an indie game up there (e.g. Minecraft), as game's developed by independent developers have really shone this generation.
Would have to disagree with Halo, it helped shape the last generation but in my opinion not really that one. Perhaps Mass Effect would have been a better choice.
It's a shame there a so few recent horror games. Even Dead Space, the last real bastion of horror on modern consoles, seems to be turning into an action game.
Hopefully the next-generation will bring some more new IP's with an emphasis on horror.
Makes sense considering they lost the UFC licence.
Fair enough, but my point still stands - technology isn't at the stage where you can have millions of people trying to play an online only game at once, and therefore they shouldn't exist.
The same problem happened when MAG launched on PS3. Everyone tried to get on at once, the servers broke and I couldn't even play the game until a week after I'd bought it.
As Internet Connection gets stronger in the future then online-only games will become more acceptable, but at the moment 'always online' games simply shouldn't exist as it seems this exact same problem happens each time one is released.
I, like poor old Jono, am a Amnesia-virgin. I'm not exactly sure if this article has encouraged or discouraged me to give it a try, though. Most probably the latter.
The scariest game I've played, certainly this-gen, is Dead Space. Silent Hill 2 was also pretty terrifying.
I certainly hope so, otherwise I'll have to fork out £250.00 for a Wii U!
