MP1st - 2012 has come to a close. We have survived the apocalypse and witnessed a photogenic guy win the hearts of millions, but with the new year finally among us, it’s time to look towards the more important matters at hand: what multiplayer titles can we look forward to that will be arriving in 2013?
Shenmue: Reclaiming the Path is a fan game using Dreamcast-era visuals, and tells a new story within the Shenmue saga taking place in both Hong Kong and Guilin. Its expected to release on September 16th.
Something about recreating old school graphics in an era of HD high poly photo realism just hits a spot. I'm not nostalgic cause I mostly played GameCube and GB/A, but it's a visual style that gets over looked even by indies.
While the mainstream media always sees things turning in favor of the hero, here are 6 games that own being a bad guy.
CCP Games has unveiled an ambitious roadmap for their sci-fi MMO EVE Online in 2024, headlined by the massive Equinox expansion set to launch on June 11th.
Don't know why but I have a feeling that EA/DICE are going to somehow ruin Battlefield 4. Over the last 16 months, my faith in EA is at an all time low and I think they've stopped caring about making AAA quality games these days.
Hopefully they can prove me wrong with Battlefield 4.. they can start off my adding mod support for PC (this would really redeem them and show their long term commitment to the game as opposed to a yearly cash grab) and by re-adding commander mode or whatever it was called from Battlefield 2.
Very comprehensive list though, Elder Scrolls Online and Arma 3 stand out as the games I'm mostly looking forward to however a new killzone would definitely be worth getting too.
Battlefield 3 is okay. Gunplay is great, game itself seems okay, but nothing about it really grabs me enough to make me wanna go back and play it much. Battlefield 2 though I played since I got it up until a year or so ago.
Bad Company 2 is great as well, but since it was a PC port it lacked a bit and no modding... Its still fun and pulls me in more than BF3 does. I am hoping Battlefield 4 is a nice BF 2 and BC 2 mix with a little BF3 in there on the side with less restrictions on the PC crowd.
I have hopes for BF4, but it will need to be completely built from the ground up instead of from BF3. BF3 was a novelty more than anything (like turning on BF3 just to show your friends how loud the tanks are... then turning it off).
I love Bfe but im not ready for 4 i feel like ea is rushing dice to make bf4 to compete with call of duty. killzone will be epic and I hope rainbow six will be like the original titles.
When BC2 came out, it didn't DRASTICALLY change from BC1, other than upgraded graphics and slightly enhanced gameplay, but it was still great.... same thing will be true for BF4. As long as the graphics are improved (which they will be with the next gen systems and the advancement of the Frostbite 2 engine) and enhanced gameplay, BF4 will see the leap from BF3, that BC2 had from BC1. These types of articles ALWAYS attracts the CoD fanboys that have no clue of the progression of the franchise and the fact that nothing drastic is done between titles, yet they always come out great.
