This was a great video. Funny and really well-written.
"Let's get one thing straight. Lara is a terrible archaeologist. Every long lost historically-significant site she discovers ends up collapsed, exploded, or collapsed then exploded."
Almost peed a little. LOL
Crazy. Fallout 4 has 12x the number of players as Call of Duty: Black Ops III. Twelve! Bonkers.
You'd really think that a massive development studio would pour their heart and soul into an engine for their next generation of games. Elder Scrolls 6, Fallout 4, etc. Doesn't make sense that they haven't done this yet, especially because we've been on all new consoles for two years.
No, Neonridr, believe me it isn't just you. Creepy. As. Hell.
Definitely not fake: http://www.gamerevolution.c...
This. Should. Be. 1000°.
The stage they're at right now, five months from release (four months to gold master), the game is in its polishing stages. This close to release, they're not adding story elements, they're not creating new assets. They're polishing current assets, testing the hell out of multiplayer, and making the code more efficient.
Story writers, production designers, producers, directors, all of them are working on their next project, and I'd bet its The Last of Us 2.
It is marketing's job to make you interested in the game. This isn't a bait and switch in the sense that they advertised a game of 25 hours but only delivered 10. They advertised a game in which Locke doesn't know the truth, and when he figures it out, he sides with the Chief.
The Halo 5 campaign expected far too much of everyone to know what's going on in all of the extended fiction, which likely less than 5-10% of gamers really know. The game was much less of a Halo 5 game as much as it was a Halo universe expansion that you play as a game.
@DigitalRaptor that makes sense, too (referring to your edit).
I just think it would be a great way to keep their hype train going. Their focus is surely already starting another project as Uncharted is undoubtedly in the polish and perfect stage now.
Thought about that, but they wouldn't be competing with their own game if they're announcing it a year and a half to two years out.
Uncharted is out in four months or so. TLOU2 will likely be out late 2017. Lots of time to not be competition.
Ooh that would be a seriously tricky one because story and experience are king with that one. If they could pull it off, it would be the killer app for VR and virtually prove the technology worthy all by itself. But as a game that is a million-seller, it's too big to not have available to every PS4 gamer.
The games aren't the only thing.
- Consoles for new gamers yet to buy a next-gen console (many are two or three games bundled in with a 1TB console)
- Elite Controller
- revamped interface and enhancements
- backward compatibility launching in a few weeks
That's a lot of things going for Microsoft
Between Rise of the Tomb Raider, Halo 5, the Elite Controller, the dozen bundles to choose from (you essentially get three games with the console right now), and games in the Spring like Quantum Break and Recore, there's TONS of reason to buy an Xbox One now. Then again, a kickass PC is mighty hard to argue with when Fallout 4 drops next week ;)
Oh, I absolutely agree, the more choice for gamers, the better. But having 13 console bundles listed is basically just a list of all the bundles Microsoft is making, with maybe two or three exceptions. Hardly a 'best of' list.
Absolutely agree. This game looks phenomenal and such a refreshing take on the action-adventure genre. Almost a mix of a Tomb Raider with deeper crafting elements and a very interesting design.
Between a wicked lineup of games, exclusive content, tons of console options for new gamers, brand new software for the console itself, as well as backward compatibility, Microsoft literally checks all the boxes this year. They've had stellar lineups in the past, but holistically, 2015 beats out every other lineup they've had in a single three to four month stretch.
It's great to know that Oculus itself is aware that VR is still very much in its infancy and that it seems like it genuinely wants to advance the technology rather than only be the number one player in it. They know that without advancing the technology as their primary goal, if the industry fails, they won't have a job. So they'd rather have 10% of a huge market than 50% of a non-existent one. Makes sense.
Just got my hands on this guy!!
I wonder if Cloud Imperium could make Fallout run smoothly. ;)
