You forgot Dying Light 2. It went full RPG when Chris Avellone came on board. Seriously needs to be on ever RPG lovers list just based on the name of the writer alone.

At least now any valid criticism against these games won't be termed as 'sony hater' now that people can play them on PC?

And it's a crap game from a mechanical standpoint with MTs and the tag of 'FUN WITH FRIENDS'

There was even a Daredevil easter egg in Spiderman

I really doubt that after seeing Avengers footage..... The part about apprpriate talent, they just want to milk off MCU.

They just got extremely lucky that Insomniac is an awesome studio.

Will have to agree. This Spiderman is the best rendition of Spiderman in any game and tied with Tobey and Spiderverse's Spidermen. I would love to see where the character goes.

DmC was a bad DMC game
Ni No Kuni was good
Dead Space 3 was shit
Crysis 3 was better than 2 but nowhere close 1
Metal Gear Rising wa good
Tom,e Raider was meh
God of War Ascension was also meh
Gears of War was worse than meh
Bioshock again, better than 2, nowhere close to 1
Injustice was good

Also are you really dismissing CB2077. I mean I get Dying Light, but then I am guessing you are ignorin...

Why do the good ones go first ;-;

You do realize, I have talked about just 4 months of the year right? The games who's release dates have been confirmed. There is Psychonauts 2, System Shock 3 (Possibly), Tales of Arise, Kerbal Space Programme 2 all in 2020. Possibly the best gaming year of the gen right next 2017 which saw Persona 5, Nier: Automata and Nioh in the same year.

Also Crysis 3 and Bioshock Infinite were just OK compared to what their franchises represented.
Dead Space 3 was pure ho...

Honestly, 2013 didn't have anything. Next year, just the first half is blowing- Ori 2, Vampire Masquerade, Cyberpunk 2077, Dying Light 2 and these are just the games without counting the indies. So 2020 won by a longshot.

I think you should also look at Outbuddies, a game that slipped my mind while making this list. (Based on Valfaris and Indivisible)

Ever played DMC5?

That game has some gorgeous visuals, great motion capture, crisp animations etc all the while running at 60 fps even on base consoles and possibly having the deepest combat system ever conceived. Now that is a technical achievement that will be hard to top by any game.

AAA studios like Rockstar have been doing this already.

Let's not make it seem like ND is the only one who does it. That article is just a piece of ...

One game really slipped my mind when making this, I think you should check out Outbuddies too, releasing on 15th October. It's another Metroidvania.

The art style and new turn based combat system look great. Feel that 505 Games have gone under the radar this year in terms of recognition.

There is something known as 'progression of art form' which isn't happening.

Not saying Sony and Nintendo are pushing boundaries, but MS doesn't have one good game this gen from their first party titles. Their best games are Ori & The Blind Forest and Cuphead, both of which weren't their marquee titles.

If gears or halo or SoT or crackdown were fundamentally good games, I might have excused them, but they are generic horsecrap.

Gaming has gotten shallower.

A clear indication is the decrease of complexity in games, sacrificing gameplay for story.

I mean PS2 was a gen that had Ninja Gaiden, DMC1,3 etc. This gen? Apart from DMC5 there is literally nothing.

What is the state of immersive sims? People would rather play cheap thrill games than see the artistic side of the medium.

2352d ago 2 agree11 disagreeView comment

Lemme just pull out some games with no MTs from Sony (Expansion packs not counted)

Horizon Zero Dawn
Spiderman
Persona 5
Bloodborne
Gravity Rush 2

Also if Nintendo is extending into mobile, both their significant franchises are devoid of MTs on the prime console.

Stop bringing in exceptions.

Sony and Nintendo have exceptions, for Microsoft it's the rule of thumb. Their major fra...

Honestly, looks awesome.

It's revolutionary since we can puke in this game. /s

On a serious note tho, this really looks good.

This looks miles better than Battletoads.
The only things missing I feel are character animation fluidity which can be tweaked furthermore and enemy variety which given such a small slice or even a Beta might just be for demo purposes.

Jim Sterling was right about Microsoft destroying the industry.

I am not a fan of Sony or Nintendo exclusives, but heck, I respect them for not having egregious MTs while also having decent games. Microsoft might as well stoop down to EA's level at this point.
