Andrew Groen: ''On Wednesday evening, Sony will present a glamorous press briefing in New York City that is almost certain to be the debut of its next PlayStation home console.
New console announcements, by their nature, are full of promises. Some of them are relatively small things, and some sound impossibly grandiose. And veteran game industry followers know that it’s important to take each one of them with a grain of salt. In an effort to generate buzz for their new machine, companies will often resort to half-truths and outright lies to get consumers excited.
As we get ready for Sony’s big announcement, let’s take a look back at the promises it made in 2005 and 2006 prior to the launch of PlayStation 3, to find out how well they’ve held up over the ensuing eight years.''
While some video games overwhelm you with sheer scale, titles like Asura's Wrath and Doom Eternal make you the boss player right upfront.
Wolfenstein: The New Order turns ten years old today, so we decided to play it again and discovered just how much of an extinct kind of game it is.
It's an outstanding game and so was The Old Blood. Also a lost era of gaming. Interesting, I received a physical copy of The Old Blood 9 years ago today from Poland. It was digital only in North America initially upon release so I had to import.
Wolfenstein: The New Order launched 10 years ago today, but can it stand up to the modern FPS titles it inspired?
I disagree. Its still a fantastic game, with very good gunplay and a surprisingly loveable cast of characters and a good story trough many different and interesting setpieces
All The New Order needs for my tastes is a this gen enhancement patch.
I played New Order a couple of years after launch and I give it an 8/10. The shooter holds up because it is focused on being a good shooter. There is no crafting, no RPG elements, no open world find the question mark Weapons are fun. Enemies are fun. Levels offer a nice mix of stealth and shooting. You get to be the predator; this isn’t a game about fending off waves of enemies while a robot companion unlocks a door. Most importantly, New Order is the last of a dying breed of single player shooters.
Weird all the Wolfenstein articles.
Can you guess what will be announced at Xbox showcase?
What Machine Games did with Wolfenstein franchise is awesome. The game play definitely to me , is still very fun to play !!!
Totally agree with most of the article but the BIGGEST issue for me was the CGI they passed off as gameplay.
Killzone, Motorstorm and Eight Days with the UI slapped on it like the article says; it was an all out lie. People argue and say "oh but Killzone looks quite similar to what was shown" but that isn't the point. To be honest, I thought it was a bit insulting really.
But that's my biggest concern with the PS4 reveal; they misrepresent what the console is capable of. They have constantly done it in the past and I hope they don't do it now.
But the funny thing is, they don't need to! Just show us what the PS4 is capapble of doing by showing actual gameplay. I'm sure we will be impressed nonetheless.
This is the 3rd negative article in 12hrs by wired about Sony. Get ready for a steady stream of negative news from hater sites.
I actually liked the boomerang controller, why did they scrap?
Articles like these are pathetic. They are written by butthurt morons looking for a reason to b*tch about something because they can't stand the completely positive energy surrounding Sony recently in anticipation for the event tonight. Rather than just accept people are feeling good about something in gaming, which is very rare these days thanks to morons like the aforementioned butthurt variety, these Rhodes Scholars are trying to purposely shift the energy from positive to negative.
Take your negativity and shove it where it belongs. If you don't like people being happy about something, get some mental help and leave us alone.
