I think that the studio they've acquired have shown promise and mass appeal with whatever games they've released. Ninja theory has had some great titles fly under the radar for example. Compulsion games is a clear outlier in that it hasn't really shown us anything other than Contrast and We happy few. At the very least I know they are capable of creating an interesting world. Who knows, with Microsofts financially backing them they might create something bigger and hopefully bette...
we sure have seen what happens and the results are not so good
I really wished they did something with the property that brought it closer to the NGB days
If you picked Nioh or AC as game of the year I wouldn't be mad. 2017 is the kind of year in video games where you could possibly see different outlets and people choose various different games as their game of the year. We were lucky this year for sure
I agree with this so much, I've been playing AC origins for the past week and a half and it is way more polished than the last 4 games in the series. The attention to detail as you mentioned is what makes it so great
yeah, Nioh is still hard as shit but I love that game way more than any of the souls games
Just two days away! I'm so ready for this
That would be nice. I enjoy the lore and story of Halo universe. I feel like Halo 5 died off so quickly because it had an identity crisis
Yes I too think it will shift back in a few years. I also don't want open world games to go away. I do think both can exist in this environment
I mean single player games will continue to be made. I think we'll see far less story-based linear ones though. I think PS4 will get the bulk of them but maybe not so much on other platforms. We'll have to wait and see
If we're being honest Sony is keeping the linear experience alive. I wish more devs were open to it but there's politics, agendas and most of all, the money involved. Linear experiences on their own don't bring in more money aside from the 60 bucks you pay for the game and any DLC down the line. MP and open world games have more room for microtransactions and expansions. I
yeah, I can see that. It's a shame really but until we revolt against money grabs I don't see it slowing down anytime soon
I don't think you're pushing an agenda I actually find some truth in that. Sony has their first party stuff following this line of cinematic linear storytelling. I actually enjoy that. Though it seems that as we move forward those experiences are becoming less important in the eyes of the industry
Yeah I fully expect a 2018 full of open-world inspired games. I hope the industry doesn't stray away from those linear story based experiences
That would actually be kind of cool. Do you think Luigi is getting any love on the switch? Like a proper Luigi's mansion?
I have to be honest I'm more interested in PvP too. I mean in the end, it's a win/win for Epic. Just saw an article that said they are over 10 million players. I mean they are on console as well so I don't know what the PC numbers are versus console, but regardless that's a notable milestone
I kind of forgot this was happening
I agree with that. Of course, both can exist theoretically. I think I would need to see the number of players logged into campaign versus battle royale once Fortnite goes free to play.
I mean yeah I was really in it for the combat mostly. I didn't play the latest one but I heard it was not that great. Wonder if it suffered from the same voice acting and plot issues
Bloodborne is definitely at the top of my list of favorite games on PS4. We need a bloodborne 2
