Have you noticed that recent sequels from SCE Worldwide Studios haven't been numbered? Is it deliberate, or just a coincidence?
SOEDESCO has revealed horror prequel Dollhouse: Behind The Broken Mirror is coming to consoles and PC later this year.
Following the remake announcement of the Max Payne remakes, the internet exploded with ideas of what it could look like.
Just look at Alan Wake 2, it quite literally has the exact same character. This model in This article looks nothing like any rendition of max
I don’t think about what he’s going to look like so much as I wonder as to what he’ll sound like after James Mcaffery passed away suddenly last year. He was the voice of Max Payne and it’s hard for me to imagine Max voiced by anyone else.
Today Blizzard Entertainment released a new trailer revealed a new trailer of Overwatch 2, showcasing the gameplay of the new hero, Venture.
TBH it's just a name, numbers only really point out where the game is in the series. You don't need them.
It's just like movies, numbers after a title (especially after 2) almost seems to initiate a collective *sigh* among people as if they're saying "wha...another one?".
Not putting a number after the title doesn't seem to get that same reaction even though most people still call the movie or video game by it's sequel'd number

I think it's really smart. For Killzone: Shadow Fall and inFamous: Second Son, the fact that they aren't sequels is a comfort to those who haven't played the previous entries in those series. Having a number implies a certain amount of information necessary to fully understand and enjoy the experience - right or wrong this IS the perception. But now, with Killzone and inFamous a gamer sees a subtitle and doesn't feel daunted by ignorance of the series or an obligation to go back and play the other games.
To fans of Killzone and inFamous, it doesn't matter whether or not there is a number or not - they are getting the game. But there are lots of people who will get the game that may otherwise not have because it doesn't have a number.
infamous 2nd son....
