Even Insomniac themselves say they were inspired by Arkham's gameplay and you have to be blind to not see that the fighting and stealth is clearly taken from the Arkham game.

They set the bar and no superhero game is able to dethrone them not even the copycat Spiderman game.
I didn't mind the batmobile in Arkham Knight but I do agree that the boss fight were not as good as the previous games.

I really don't feel the hype for Spiderman tbh... insomniac didn't try to make a unique Spiderman game with unique gameplay that you make him standout in comparison to Batman. I'm honestly more interested in Days gone than Spiderman.

I really want to see what Rocksteady does with their next superhero game.

Game of the Decade.....A true evolution of the open world.
Rockstar truly owns this genre.

Subscription are really affordable. It can range from £5-£11 a month. This would be an issue if you're a teen and have no source of income but most people out there that work should be able to afford a sub.

This is a disaster...Sometimes I don't want to bust out my older consoles just to play a game. I find playing older games on an emulator so much easier and accessible to play on.

I know it wasn't legal to host those games but still, I made me reminisce on some games I used to play.

I can see that most of the illegal way to attain games and other sources of entertainment were been disappearing from the internet. If those publishers want me to buy ...

If 5 studios acquisitions don't give you a hint that they are improving their first party lineup then I don't know what will.

Ms need to find a way to compete with the Nintendo switch and making portableish device will steal some of nintendo switch's thunder.

I'm sorry but Sony's FPS lineup last gen was meh. None of them stood a chance or stood on their own in last gens golden age of FPS. I do not want resistance or killzone, Sony missed their chance to make them relavant.
I honestly think they should keep doing what they are doing with their current lineup and leave Devs like guerilla games and insomniac doing their own thing.

I can easily say from experience of playing countless hrs of souls games that Bloodborne did not actually speed up gameplay, it's just a different dodge animation that makes it look faster.

Sekiro on the other hand is a more true evolution to the series. The hand hook easily speeds up gameplay and adds verticality to the game.

It's bad for gaming.
Fortnite premise isn't even battle royale anymore. I work in a school and I can tell you that the amount of kids that play this game just because the whole world is on it. It's not even about getting victory royale it's more about the social aspects of it.

Kids have spent hundreds of their parents money on skins and emotes and I see them in school imitating the emotes instead of talking about how many victories they have. You m...

Kind of a pathetic list tbh....no Alan wake, Lost Odyssey, Banjo, prefect dark and many more games.

It's just a mobile game...nothing to see here.

After giving Gears away to Ms, I honestly thought that Epic would fade into obscurity.

Also Fornite was a stroke of luck and a very good timing. A game that no was even cared about got turned into a one of the most popular games. I work in a school and I can tell you that almost everyone talks about it non stop.

I was expecting it to take a while. The next Halo needs to take it's time. Halo has been running for a long time and it needs some time to breathe. 343i needs to build something truly spectacular with its campaign and reinvigorate the arena multiplayer scene.

I'm expecting the same thing for Gears. Gears needs to be reimagined and I want it to be more like Vanquished.

What?????
Recore???
That game is so niche and probably at the same level as Shenmue. And also For honor is quite a unique game as well

You mean horde mode cause I'm pretty sure Halo had firefight.
Plus Halo has their own 12 vs 12 warzone with enemies mixed in. They can easily turn that into a 50 vs 50 type of game mode.

Ms takes good care of their first party studios and the closure of Lionhead was due to mismanagement from Lionheads part with the Fable Legends. If we are going to talk about memory, you could say the same for Sony's closure of Evolution Studios.
If you look at the way Ms have been this gen you can see that they spend most of it fixing their image with was tarnished at the beginning of this gen. They now have the best console and service in the business and now they can concentra...
