Yes, Super Mario Bros. was an amazing experience in the NES days, and yes, all the brawlers from Konami were really cool, Zelda, Metroid, Sonic, all are great games, but something really changed to a lot of people, including myself when Wolfenstein3D, the original Doom and all over in 1996 when Duke Nukem3D came into the scene. My mind was blown away by the visuals, cool enemies and weapons, all the way to the great level design."
Have you ever looked at a modern first-person shooter and wondered "How did we get here?" Wealth of Geeks performs a deep dive into the genre, including some of the most influential games, from the very first FPS from the cross-genre experiences that changed the game entirely.
From Contraband to Perfect Dark, here are some potential wildcard surprises that could appear at this month's Xbox Developer Direct.
Wow I actually commented in a Xbox thread before Jin_Sakai! Contraband gameplay would be dope.
This year promises to be a big year for gaming, and it will definitely be one of the greatest if any of these big MIA projects finally made it into gamers' hands.
Pretty sure Silk Song and Dragon Age are going smoothly. The other 2 can be assumed to be quietly cancelled knowing their publishers and Metroid will most likely be shown off this year.
Dragon Age going smoothly??? Directors leaving, people leaving in general, terrible working conditions....not sure how you define smoothly.
I remember in 2017 when Nintendo showed off the Metroid Prime 4 logo, and some Nintendo defenders claimed "Just because they only showed a logo, doesn't mean that's all they've worked on for the game."
As history has proven, they were wrong. Nintendo showed off a logo back in 2017 because that's literally all they had.
I think Beyond Good and Evil 2 can stay there unless they are going to just rename it to a new IP
Pretty sure BG&E2 is dead at this point - along with the other game Ancel was working on before he left - I think it was called WILD. Anyone remember that from a PS conference years ago?
Dreadwolf isn't in development hell anymore and is finally getting its reveal in the summer - since 2016 the game has been scrapped and restarted three times but its been going pretty well since the last reboot when EA finally allowed BioWare to just get on with making a single player game.
I'm not sure Perfect Dark is in development hell either - like it could be but we haven't really heard much to suggest either way - imo they just showed the trailer off when the game was still in pre-production. Xbox were desperate for anything and this is all they had at the time. And the reason we haven't heard anything since is just because it's in normal development and games take 5 years to make. The help from a support studio was typically overblown on N4G because nearly every game has this.
Cuz its easy. Pick and play. There "is" a learning curve, but not as challenging as a fighter or action rpg for instance.
Easy...it's been the nature of man for thousands of years...Kill each other. It sounds terrible, but what better way to do that than to do so with no negative consequences. I suppose it also has alot to do with the competitive nature, but what it all boils down to is.....killing each other, for fun...which is fun
go to youtube and add /watch?v=FhHK1ltJJg4&NR=1 to the url. N4G thinks im spamming -.-
But i think this is why FPS games are popular
Well,
I remember reading articles discussing whether or not 1st person shooters are used to train youths to use guns & learn the basic fundementals of war (stealth, tactics, gun types, etc.)...
It's because the view in the game is the view you have in real life.
