Lionsgate says AAA John Wick and SAW games will be announced soon. Executives confirm real progress, but no studios or platforms named yet.
Saber Interactive's new John Wick game is bringing one of my biggest dreams to life, but there's hope Keanu Reeves doesn't skip over the Nintendo Switch 2.
The problem is this game really seems like it would have to be 60fps for the John Wick “feel”. Unfortunately as much as I love my Switch 2, it’s pretty clear it’s not really going to be a 60fps system. Which is a shame.
I think 30 is fine for games if the animation system and fluidity is smooth.
For example I just played ghost of yotei at 30fps and it was fantastic I didn't even clock it was 30 I tried it at 60 but went back to 30 because I wanted the highest level of fidelity on the base ps5
Then I played ffxv and ohh boy at 30 that was a janky train wreck and just horrible to play
I had to play GOY in high Fidelity as well. I just bought a new 15 hundred 65 Samsung TV & I want to play & view my AAA games in the sharpest vivid colorful way possible, one of the biggest reasons I paid that much for a TV, a PS5 Pro & a $70 game.
late to the john wick discussion .... but I just hope this releases After the Max Payne Remake.
(dont want the new guy stealing the all the attention from our new york noir john woo guy)
{come to think of it .... can we also get a Stranglehold Remake as well?}
No bad news is that it's on the Xbox, that console has single handedly held back this generation with that 1080p console they have.
So title stating a fact and article making stuff up for clicks. (concern trolling)
Sound on par with everything Nintendo related by tech/Gaming media since Apr. 2025
Suit For Hire lets you channel John Wick - but is it good? JDR pops on a tuxedo for today's review.
One of my friends is the designer of this game! He actually did such a great job. Make sure to support it!
Also I'm hearing through the grapevine that there may be a PlayStation port coming 😜
Times are changing, and these games would have never been made in today's climate.
Every single time someone uses this phrase whether it's music, movies, books, comics, video games, etc it's always the same claim.
The ubiquitous "they" won't allow it to be made. And every decade these claims are made the claimant completely ignores all the "offensive" material that is published when the claim is made.
In ten years, you can write a new article about how you can't make games like Helldivers 2, Resident Evil VIII, Mortal Kombat I, Dragon's Dogma 2, Alan Wake 2 etc etc etc any more.
Yeah, people wouldn't be constantly outraged if there weren't games that people found enraging. The whole SBI discourse shit wouldn't be a thing if all games were inoffensive. A game like Starfield can make a guy froth at his mouth, so there will always be room for a list like this.
Normally, I'd be inclined to agree with you, but there are massive caveats.
TV shows like Venture Bros, Ren and Stimpy, and Aqua Team wouldn't/couldn't be made today. Hell, Ren and Stimpy was a *children's* show, same thing with Rocko's Modern Life.
It's not for some arbitrary reason, either. It's branding and IP alignment. Companies are far more risk-averse than they were when I was kid in the 90's. Of course, you have companies coming out of the woodwork to hell spur on similar content, but remember: Cartoon Network and Nickelodeon and some incredibly provocative material.
And for movies? it's pretty obvious. American Pie/Wedding Crashers/Eurotrip among many other "raunch coms" have fallen out of style, and are absolutely outside what the modern day film industry is willing to stand by.
Ace Ventura 1 and 2, Dumb and Dumber, Freddy Got Fingered, Rat Race, Harold and Kumar, and Van Wilder follow suit.
Remember: I am not explicitly talking about films put onto streamers. I am talking wide-releases in actual theaters. Same thing goes for games: Carmageddon, Duke Nukem, Manhunt, Six Days In Fallujah (with their original concept), Hatred, and so on and so forth. Of course, I'd be inclined to mention most tactical shooters like Rainbow Six and Joint Ops as well, due to cultural sensitivity regarding *who* you are shooting and why.
And not all of it is bad (obviously). Tastes change, and perspectives change to fit the demographic.
I should add that I'm a lefty, living in L.A. Working in film.
The Boys, Invincible, Jojo Rabbit, Deadpool, Gen V, Last of Us, Banshee... There are plenty of media being made today that people will claim "can't be made today".
Yeah but if you consider manhunt which was basically a snuff film could you seriously make that game with high than PS2 era graphics.
The Outlast Trials just came out.
But the storyline of Manhunt was that you were executed. But then lived. And if you didn't do as you were told, you'd die. And the people you killed were not innocents.
It was all filmed by a psychopath.
As we speak GTA VI is being finished up for a release. You get to play a Bonnie and Clyde type of protagonist who run up against the law.
Bodycam looks so real.
People are making those games. Articles like this will always exist no matter how incorrect they are, no matter how many times they blame "them" for whatever it is "they" do to prevent "those" games from being made.
The UK is the biggest junk country pandering to that nonsense as well, with laws against free speech and expression to match. It got so bad even Rowan Atkinson made a video on free speech about it.
Now the UK raises the age rating on harmless films like Mary Poppins, it's just a load of pansy weak ass nonsense.
The right wing Tories have been in power in the UK for the 14 years you know the ones that are "anti-woke", blame them for your perceptions.
Are these snowflakes in the room with us now?
This is more faux outrage designed to get hits. The consequences are unfortunately creating hysteria amongst those willing to buy into it and blame "them" or "the left" or "liberals" meanwhile the left are kicking off about genocide, actual real world abhorrent acts. Nobody is campaigning to censor this shit.
Not too mention the fact that some of these game are controversial for you know, underage porn and encouraging rape.
So either the guy just came in to comment snowflakes without reading anything, or he is calling people snowflakes for having a problem with said titles. Crazy how much brain rot someone can have.
Dead Island: "The early PC version of the zombie game swapped the playable character Purna’s Gender Wars skill with a prototype name, which shouldn’t be mentioned directly. The skill name made fun of both Purna as a character and feminists."
"Feminist Whore" lmao
ill add one more to the list.
drakengard 1.
its ridiculous tho, especially since they'd still be able to find their place in alot of places in the world. except america of course ha. and maybe Australia.
ppl are so sensitive these days. ha. but it is what it is.
They're not offensive.
And we need another Fat Princess. Fantastic little game!
Some people just have no sense of humour if this sort of thing offends them. They need to lighten up and stop taking themselves so seriously.
Games literally about sexual assault, mass genocide, bombing civilians, and school shooting. None of which is satirical.
Its crazy that people are fixated on Fat princess when clearly the list is going over controversies, and not all of them are equal. Like way worse examples but pretend the entire list is like that.
These both could be pretty cool games. 🤞🏽They come out good/ at all.
Hopefully they actually invest in some really good experiences, both Franchise's could really use a great game.
I did enjoy the first Saw game on PS3, not so much the second one though and I never played John Wick Hex so can't comment on that
There is obvious potential with the franchises so hopefully they get the investment that’s necessary for a good outcome
We really should have had a adrenaline fueled AAA action shooter with John Wick years ago, especially over Hex.
