Despite having some solid franchises like WWE, Darksiders, and Saints Row. THQ still bit the bullet in 2012, filing for chapter 11 bankruptcy. THQ still has some awesome IP's that could be awesome next generation games. Which THQ franchises will we next generation systems and which THQ franchises do you guys want to see on the next generation systems?
GF365: "We all love experimenting with character creation to make unique protagonists. These are the games with the best character creation systems."
Slightly disappointing game but Wo Long had a good creator. I was impressed by Oblivion back in what 05, 06? But the worst i have ever seen, clearly, Valheim.
Honestly the one I remember being easiest and flexible enough to make any character I imagined was the PS2 WWE games, and Saints Row 2. I did really enjoy Dragons dogmas character creation too
Lol CP 2077 is one of the easiest and less detailed editors around. It's all a mish-mash of presets.
GF365: "Whether it be style, speed or firepower, these rides are sure to satisfy. Here are our picks for the ten best vehicles in video games."
The Suzuki Escudo Pikes Peak from the Gran Turismo series
Nissan Skyline from Need for Speed Underground
Motorcycle Steamroller from Dead Rising 3
And finally a car you never drive but saves your ass over and over : Honey Badger from COD MW2
I was thinking of Mad Max. That V8 felt really good to drive around in, especially with upgrades.
Xbox Series X's FPS Boost is game-changing when it works and disappointing when it doesn't. While frame rates are often consistent, many titles make concerning sacrifices. This lost compiles 20 FPS Boost games that make major sacrifices, detailing their drawbacks.
As someone with the Series S, it makes more of an impact there than on the X. From what i have seen, if the game already supported One X enhancements, then its best to just let it be on the Series X.
Great to have options I’ve gone back to playing dragon age inquisition and it runs superbly. Good article though detailing differences.
Wow, these downplaying articles are rife this week in the lead up to E3.
Funny how it is only this week these articles are surfacing, even though we knew about Series X not running upgrades from Xbox One X BC games months ago. As per article :-
"If a game doesn't run at a stable performance level, the Microsoft backwards-compatibility team can't adjust game settings or resolution to best reach the target frame rate."
Well yeah, you can not change some other developers game code, only they can enhance their own game via next-gen patches.
There is even one now on how Gamepass for PC is "broken".
Wonder what we will see next? We have had Xbox not making any money on any console ever, gamepass for PC is broken, FPS boost has lackluster upgrades, xbox division is being ran in the red at a consistent loss, gamepass has never been profitable, all in the lead up to Xbox and Bethesda's E3 showing.
Funny times, roll on E3 for me, can't wait.
In short :-
All 20 games on the list, are running at Xbox One resolution with FPS boost enabled, instead of the Xbox One X enhanced versions resolution.
This is a known issue, even when running the same games through the BC program.
saints row 4 will hit ps3,xbox360,wii-u etc,
maybe even next gen systems.
metro franchise has the IT factor but the sales have to show the interest for next publisher to publish the game on next gen systems
also i wouldn't be surprised if a lot of the games coming out in Early 2013 don't end up getting 2nd release on next playstation and xbox like a lot of 2012 games did for wii-u
i just want a great publisher to buy them, not someone crappy
homefront 2 has huge potential but Crysis developers are not known for single player stories and to me a major part of HF IP is the single player story

THQ owes wwe the most money, so the license could go to another publisher? most likely ea or activision.
but think about it like this, if someone other than THQ makes next wwe game than it will not be any good, because it takes more than a year in development to get everything up and running and make everything works. so could we see WWE franchise not make it yearly release this year?
for all the love wwe13 got i still think the game was ok at best, i think critics have forgotten how great some of the older wwf/wwe games were
here comes the pain
shut your mouth
day of reckoning 1-2
wwf no mercy
etc,
i really hate what they have done to wwe. but its not yet confirmed i think that they will not be making next wwe.
e3 will tell this.
The real question is will THQ make it to next gen? After what happened with Darksiders 2 and how their projected sells were ridiculous, I somehow doubt it.
I hope a revival of Red Faction, Homeworld & De Blob. I have enjoyed all of those. So seeing more of them would be cool. I could see the next De Blob working well as a download only game.
i would love to see SR4 on PS4 and 720
