Planet Ivy: There’s a famous saying, ‘death comes to all’, and although it was probably not originally intended to be applied to video games, perhaps it’s time it should be. This sudden realisation kicked in after spending an afternoon browsing a collection of games stacked on a store’s shelf. It was apparent to me that nearly all new First Person Shooters or FPS as they’re known to many computer gamers, have all become the same shallow reproductions.
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.
Pretty much all of these games listed are based around a morality system you don't have to be bad and you don't have to be good.
It seems to have left out some real amazing games like red dead redemption 1/2,ass effect and true crime la/ny
Armored Core VI?
Ok, I'm really missing something here. Just beat chapter 3 earlier this evening, unlocked A-rank Arena fights. I'm not seeing or sensing any branching paths or morality system and I've done every side mission and arena fight available to me up to that fight.
Is something big coming soon to branch the story?
No mention of Grand Theft Auto? Saints Row (original trilogy), Manhunt? Also The Suffering (depending on the ending you get).
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.
It may be dying, but they'll carry on selling..
...though there are a few good ones still left, admittedly..
There's plenty of variety. Players can jump from playing Bioshock: Infinite to Battlefield 3 to Call of Duty. They have the same premise of being an FPS, but are wildly different games.
I am leaning more towards some gamers just being plain spoiled. I've seen so many articles lately complaining that Bioshock: Infinite is an FPS...its way more than that.Admittedly, we need less CoD clowns and more originality but again, there's some FPS games that are going outside of the mold thankfully. I think next-gen will give devs new tech to create not only new games, but new genres.
they aren't dying at all.. you have ALOT of CoD fanboy review sites, (IGN, KOTAKU, etc), that make sure that that particular franchise is alive and well... perfect example of this... they gave the "copy and pasted" MW3 raving reviews, despite the fact that it was truly copied and pasted and offered very little from MW2, but when a game like BF4 comes along, they instantly start trying to push the thought of "its not different" or "it looks good but"... despite that the fact that it has a new engine, new gameplay details, etc. Unless the next CoD has a NEW ENGINE AND DEDICATED SERVERS, it will be a slap in the face to us consumers, but trust me, IGN will be right there to suck that cow dry with raving reviews when it's released. Making sure, aleast that particular first person shooter, never dies..
to be dead,they'd have to be dead in sales,devs not making them,nor making a special day showing them off. any of that not happening? yeah right,haha
