For every generation of video games console, fans arguing over which machine is best has often been the most popular game of all.
But never has a new wave of hardware got off to such an inauspicious start as the current one, with at least two of the new consoles being almost dead on arrival and the Xbox One forced to reinvent itself just months after it was released.
But nothing stays the same for long in the video games world and fortunes can change with a single new announcement – especially during E3 week.
The Electronic Entertainment Expo in Los Angeles is the biggest video game trade show in the world, and Metro has been there all week long. As usual, it was the pre-E3 media briefings on Monday and Tuesday which saw the majority of the big announcements.
The Souls-like genre remains popular, along with FromSoftware's classics there are many contenders. But which are the best Souls-like games?
Hmm... In my opinion, the 7 best are the 6 made by FromSoftware (DeS, DS1, DS2, DS3, BB and ER), then Lies of P. But each to their own.
Saad from eXputer: "Almost a decade later, it's time to take the nostalgia goggles off and accept that Bloodborne has long been surpassed by its successors."
Yes, yes it does. It’s still a great game. Elden Ring isn’t better just different and a bit easier . I like that you have to be aggressive but smart in Bloodborne
"Sony is missing out on a hugely profitable opportunity by ignoring fan demands for a Bloodborne remaster and PC port," says Ahmed from eXputer.
Bloodborne came out on the PS4. It is owned by From Software. What missed opportunity? I am sure the people at From Software know what they are doing. Especially since they are hiring devs instead of laying them off.
Maybe do an article about that instead of writing a hit piece on them acting like they don't know how to run their business.
It will be a launch title on PS6 just like the remake of Demon's Souls for PS5 launch
All 3 did a great job. Lots of games showcased. And while 2014 isn't huge in terms of exclusives, 2015 is going to be the year of the gamer by the looks of it.
Let's be perfectly honest, as long as Nintendo is a generation behind in terms of tech & does not receive (equal quality) 3rd party titles, then there will always be that missing gap with them.
Ninty only adds this (rather unnecessary) pressure on themselves to be unique & pump out great titles. However, I think Nintendo did succeed with their E3. As crazy as it will sound to some, Splatoon was the most intriguing title of the entire conference. Its the "breath of fresh air" title that can be very fun without any kiddy labels attached.
So I believe Nintendo achieved what it aimed to do since their philosophy w/ Wii: Not directly compete with Sony or M$, and to be a complementary console to those owners, or just to primarily satisfy the Ninty-only fanbase.
Yes Nintendo won, but can never actually beat Sony or MS since they are not in direct comp.
Have not caught any sony or Nintendo announcements I am sure the articles will roll in and let me know.
no one can simply say that all companies did a decent enough job of it and leave it at that? One just has to win well above the others?
IMO, owning 2 of the 3 is perfect. If u can afford to go all out and own all of them, more power to u. No regrets! Microsoft/Nintendo since the sixth gen!
