It happens every year. Beyond Good and Evil. Rez. Psychonauts. Tomba. Suikoden II. Ico. Great games get overshadowed by games with more hype or bigger advertising budgets, and years later gamers mourn their lack of success (or sequels) and end up paying out the ass on eBay for a copy of most of these games.
Game Rant talked to Suda51 about a potential sequel to Shadows of the Damned, and here's what he had to say.
Man, I’d love to get a sequel. I wish that’s was this was instead of a remaster, but it’s such a niche title. It won’t sell gamgbusters, unfortunately.
I am not sure what they are looking for sales wise but it can’t be much more than it originally sold if it’s even that much. I’d guess it just needs to sell well enough but who knows what that actually is. I still have the PS3 copy not sure if I’ll buy a remaster or not.
Electronic Arts has announced a number of server closures in the coming months, including Apex Mobile and the 2012 Syndicate reboot.
Syndicate's big saving grace will soon be erased for good. I'll give *some* credit to EA in keeping servers up for 10+ years.
Oh yeah, an actual cyberpunk game. I have fond memories of the old bullfrog Syndicates.
Syndicate was a fun and high quality late PS3 fps that got swallowed in the sea of fps at the time. It was short and it didn't innovate but it had good visuals and fun combat. Starbreeze i believe. Rip Torn and Rosario Dawson.
The PS3 era was a happy time, so let's look back on some of its games that flew well under the radar.
One of my favourite games.
I played all the games in the list, it is a good list but there were plenty of other overlooked gems. Several have been remastered now e.g. Catherine, Red Faction, Kingdoms of Amalur.
Some more you could add, Space Marine, Singularity, Killer is Dead, and a whole bunch of indies like Deathspank, Critter Crunch, The Last Guy.
Haze is the greatest PlayStation 3 game to ever launch, it took first person shooting to a whole new level. Just shocked it never got a remake on PlayStation 5.
Sad that the team behind Dante inferno did not get their chance to finish the story. They had two other games planned
Enslaved: Odyssey to the West
Remember Me
Folklore
Tales of Graces f
3D Dot Game Heroes
The Darkness
Enslaved is a terrible port on the PS3 mind you, it's a great game though. But the PS3 version is....brutally ass. I wish I opted for the 360 version when I played trough it a few years back lol.
There’s some gems in the list but as far as “should play” MAG would be in a “should’ve played” for sure
Indeed. A bit hard to play a game that was entirely online with shutdown servers. A shame that it went from a game that could have been remembered for what it was, and instead is remembered as a poster child for why you should be wary of entirely online games.
I enjoyed it while it lasted, thoroughly.
I had the most kills with my knife, I’d sneak ALL game, destroying AA batteries 🔪
Too bad the industry hadn’t figured out how yet to support online games long term with additional content and MTXs.
Heck yes. MAG was one of the most satisfying fps I've ever played. Definitely miss it!
The article is correct, I haven't played any of those.
But some do look good. Child of Eden looks sweet as does Shadows of the Damned.
Of course it all comes down to a question of time...
I've played Shadows of the Damned, Child of Eden and Binding of Isaac :) Shadows of the Damned is one of my favorite games of the year!
I would argue theres better jrpgs on consoles than wrpgs. Because the wrpgs that are on the consoles. Play better on the PC. Maybe the console versions inferior.
Great console rpgs that came out this year.
Ninokuni, tales of X, disgaea 4, xenoblade, and on the western front you have skyrim. Thats it. dragon age 2 bombed, risen 2 bombed. And thats basically beem all she wrote
I want to play Shadow of the Damned and I played Binding of Isaac
"Shadows of the Damned" lol I have this game but, I havent got around to popping it in yet.
