We take a look at the top 5 games we want announced at this years gamescom! Check it out and see if you agree!
As of right now, there are no monopolies in the games industry, and for the sake of the medium as a whole, they never should either.
And yet the biggest tech companies in America are essentially that. They buy up all the small comps only to kill them off and steal what they have, and if they can't buy em they bleed them to death.
Eventually they’ll realize the value is with the employee not the company. Buying an IP means nothing if the people who contributed are let go. They’ll get it one day.
tech is different because they buy threats and then kill them. Twitter bought Vine and did nothing with it. Despite people seemingly liking it. Could've had tiktok a decade before bytedance. go figure.
They buy IPs not talent. That's why these buyouts never work and the IPs die. Right now it's too expensive to develop games - but I expect that to shift maybe as AI tools can make it easier. The best games have been indie games for awhile as big developers fuck their ips to death with "games as a service" -
While many are fans of the Honkai Star Rail story so far, The Nerd Stash believes that the deaths of Robin and Firefly no longer carry much weight.
Wardens Rising is looking like a promising new take on the ARPG genre, especially when played with friends.
I want LittleBigPlanet 3 for PS4 so badly
I just want to know what the hell Sony Santa Monica's new IP is going to be like...
As for the list. Yes to #5, #4 & #2. Don't want another Uncharted after playing The Last of Us, hopefully they create a new IP and continue TLoU. Never been interested in the Knights of the old Republic games.
I'd kill for a new Legacy of Kain.
But I'll settle for more information on Deep Down (assuming it's the successor to Dragon's Dogma we all hope it is).
By picking games we want announced, it pretty much has to be sequels, because we can't want games we don't know about. I'd like some original IPs. But if I had to pick sequels, I guess my top 5 would be:
1) Portal 3
2) Borderlands 3
3) Rockband 4
4) Baldurs Gate 3
5) Gabriel Knight 4
I certainly don't expect any of these to be announced, though.
I don't want to see Uncharted announced. Let it breathe for another year please! If it's being developed please take a look at what you did right with Uncharted 2's multiplayer and EVERYTHING you did wrong with Uncharted 3's.
