But for console players?
Oh somebody just tweeted that it'd be a JRPG
Intrigued that the project went from being a Remaster to being " “fully remade,” hinting at significant changes in this reimagining compared to the original game. " But also surprised that this won't be the surprise game at the latest Xbox Direct.
So, what will that be?
Coz Todd wants to stay focused on mainland NA
Its an aquired taste, I'll agree
Might be for studios which were using older engines or UE4 like Bend Studio.
Sony's big 5 studios' engines are all unique to some degree and I want it stay that way for future new games.
Remakes can be done using Decima if required like Bloodborne or Uncharted 1.
Imagine From Software embracing Decima for future titles.
But then again Until Dawn Remake was done using UE5, when the original was made using Decima.
It was a bit underwhelming when it was first showcased but the recent gameplay mechanics videos have been getting positive responses. Another delay means, finally ubi is hell-bent on delivering a complete and bug-less game compared to the incomplete mess Star Wars Outlaws.
Ghost of Yotei will no doubt come out as the more beautiful game of the two but folks on the internet are also noting all the features and content Shadows would be packing like dynamic weather change, seasonal chan...
RE5 Remake is a bit debatable. Its not that old as others and can be considered fairly modern in its structure.
Also, if RE5 gets a remake, then only RE6 will be left, as the only mainline RE game before RE7, that'll be without a Remake. And how do you tackle/do you even remake the RE:6 ~ is another set of questions.
2026 is RE's 30th anniversary. So either RE:0 or RE:1 are better candidates for that celebration.
Then RE:X or RE:10 will be targeting 35th ann...
Some IPs are defined by the vision perspective and FC is one of them.
Plus, difference/uniqueness will diminish between FC and AC(within Ubi umbrella, minus guns) or Division or Just Cause or even like Days Gone.
Plus, FC is one of the few first-person IPs at Ubi. They already converted Ghost Recon to 3rd Person.
And Wildlands & Breakpoint were Ubi's 3rd person Far Cry(s), lol.
We're losing 1st person views in adventure genres (Indiana Jones was the exception) and gaining them in horror department.
Well every mainline FC is kinda its own thing ... so reboot for this franchise makes less sense.
And I also support the every 3-4 years idea for both AC and FC. And that's kinda exactly the situation now for FC.
FC6 came out in 2021. If we aren't counting 2023's Avatar (lol, obvs), then even if FC7 comes out in 2025, there's still minimum 4 years gap between the mainline releases. Hope it stays that way i.e.
FC6 got no spin-off like FC3, 4, 5.
Hope they don't repeat it again by forcing the XboxTablet to be tied with the XboxNext/Prime SKU as part of the 10th gen of consoles.
That'd be stupid ... even more than Series S.
I have a feeling these multiple delays will lead to a decent AC Shadows launch.
I am not that interested but will still check the reviews.
not sure about that tho .... prefer it get proper hype and a later release.
And I'd much prefer the Skyblivion project get the release before this (i.e 2025 end). Don't want this paid remaster to overshadow the free fan-driven painstakingly developed total-conversion mod project.
Won't mind if it releases in early 2026 ... we also got Avowed coming soon as well. Dont want that to get overshadowed as well.
The parkour and the combat do look a lot better in the recent videos, ngl.
OG AC fan but not much of a fan of the recent RPG-ified ACs. Origins was a nice change. Odyssey was a good spartan RPG game but imho, not an honest AC game and by Valhalla, the RPG AC structure got long in the tooth.
After Mirage, hope Shadows incorporate some OG AC gameplay changes.
Looking at the latest gameplay clips, I might keep an eye on this one, nevetheless.
ah ... a sensible one amidst
Oblivion Rema(ke/ster) or we riot.
edit: (we, as in oblivion fans, not all folks)
oh, and Doom: The Dark Ages (i.e beta Gothic Quake) bf-hype!
I am also waiting for Arc Raiders
Hey, just curious, what were the top features that contributed to your Rog Ally purchase decision over the other rival platforms? I mean your personal opinion.
I am looking to double dip,
But both in 2026 coz pretty certain, both will ship with some bugs at launch
