Have you noticed that recent sequels from SCE Worldwide Studios haven't been numbered? Is it deliberate, or just a coincidence?
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.
Exophobia is brings back classic alien blasting today with a new demo on PC and eventually with a full release on July 23.
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....
