Beyond Two Souls

MostJadedGamer4242d ago

Tomb Raider a New IP? Wow these guys don't have a clue what new IP means.

DeadlyFire4241d ago

Sadly they probably never played a Tomb Raider game before. That's the thing about corporate news journalists. They don't even study the culture that they work with.

Kran4241d ago

@Mac is OK

Would you consider any Star Wars game as a new IP? I aint sure... :/

WeskerChildReborned4242d ago

Yep, looking forward to both Last of Us and Beyond two souls.

LOGICWINS4241d ago

Watch Dogs owned @ E3, so I'm most looking forward to that!

BootHammer4241d ago

Probably the best E3 surprise =b

GrahamGolden4241d ago

last time i remember the last of us owned watchdogs since it won the most awards and best e3 show

while watchdogs got only 1

mt4241d ago

noting confirm about watch dogs that it is suspicious to get excited for. it could be next gen game which or current gen which would be awesome or PC.

Ni no Kuni
The Last of Us
Beyond: Two Souls

edit: nice job with the whole you know double post thing

/s

BootHammer4242d ago

Ni no Kuni looks great too! Definitely unique...

Relientk774242d ago

Yea, Ni no Kuni is my #1 game for 2013 right now, I cant wait to get it

guitarded774242d ago (Edited 4242d ago )

I hate it when that happens... n4g is bad about not posting or double posting. The authors list is pretty good. I'm also excited for Ni No Kuni and The Last Guardian. But Tomb Raider is NOT a new IP... they are reinventing the IP, but it is NOT a new IP.

Qrphe4241d ago (Edited 4241d ago )

Ni no Kuni is not a "new" IP since it was first released on the DS two years ago.

The Witch and the Hundred Knights is a new IP however (and is already pre-ordered along with Ni no Kuni)

GrahamGolden4241d ago

we dont care of the ds

we want this on a console and play it on our big tv's with better graphics,sound,controls and more content kkthxbb

and btw the ps3 version is getting half game more

rbailey4242d ago

Great List of Titles. The only other title I would add to this list is Remember Me.

BootHammer4242d ago

We are looking forward to that one too =) It's going to be a really cool year with the all the new IP's and next gen buzz. Hopefully there will be some exciting new franchises for the Wii U as well in 2013.

JellyJelly4242d ago (Edited 4242d ago )

Star Wars 1313 is most probably a next gen title. Judging by the demo shown it couldn't be done on current gen consoles. I don't believe it's been announced for any platforms yet and it hasn't even got a release date either. Nice fantasy journalism.

_-EDMIX-_4242d ago

When you have a article title "new ips for" its pretty much a given that Sony's titles will top that list seeing how they make a LOT of new ips during each gen.

20 Awesome Canceled Games You'll Never Get To Play

You can understand some games getting canceled, but these awesome looking games still baffle us to this very day.

"Tommy saving the planet from an army of aliens after they abducted him and his entire bar, with the game ending on the promise that Tommy would be back, but that promise was never fulfilled"

The thing is with the original Prey 2 that Tommy wasn't even the main character, they replaced him with some generic looking space bounty hunter. It was a refreshing change to see an awesome Native American character with ancestral like powers fight aliens yet they ditched him. It was only after an outcry they showed much later in a new preview that Tommy was in the game as an NPC.

I'd have prefered a real sequel with Tommy as the main character, literally picking right up from the originals ending.

As for Eight Days...Sony really needs to pick this up

If Amy Hennig was still at ND, I'd have loved to see her tackle it after what she did with Uncharted.

isarai43d ago (Edited 43d ago )

I thought that was awesome too, and honestly i wish people werent so damn critical about cultural variety in games. I feel like people try to ruin devs lives if even one detail is off about their culture in a game and so everyone is too scared to try anymore

isarai43d ago (Edited 43d ago )

One of the lead engine programmers for Prey 2 at Human Head was my programming instructor when i was taking game design. This game was in limbo at the time and we asked once and only once about this game, the misery in his eyes when he told us "this is the 1st and only time ill ask you to never ask me about that game" was something ill never forget😅 he used a couple assets through the curriculum for teaching purposes but nothing very tangible. Just a function here, a 3d prop there. Such a shame. Years later i saw him at a magic tournament, we caught up and he still thinks about that game and how it's "practically done" probably sitting on a drive somewhere

shinoff218342d ago (Edited 42d ago )

Practically done? Jeez that fking blows because that looked much more interesting then what bethsada made. Don't get me wrong I enjoyed the one bethsada made.

Lmno looked interesting.
I'd knock titanfall and fez off the list. Add something else. Scarface 2 man only if would've been awesome. Prey 2 should be higher to. Either way not a bad list. Out of 20 there's only 2 I'd hate on.

isarai42d ago

That gen got a lot of games canned right before the finish line. Cipher Complex, Battlefront 3, legacy of kain dead sun just to name a few

XiNatsuDragnel42d ago

Games that need to come out: Battlefront 3, 8 days, and timesplitter 4.

Skuletor41d ago

One that's not on the list is Killing Day, I remember seeing the trailer in 2005 and being impressed at the time. Being Ubisoft you know it would have been a AAAA game too, lol
2 Days to Vegas and The Getaway 3 are two other games that seemed promising but never came out.

The Last Of Us Series Has Remarkable Potential For Spin-Offs

Najam from eXputer writes "It's time fore a new installment in the series, not another pointless remaster."

anast77d ago

They are working on something new. Not to be rude but it is impossibility stupid to think ND next major announcement is going to be a remaster or their next Last of Us entry is going to be another remaster.

AlterRecs74d ago

I think this is in response to them releasing a remaster for the sequel, a game that didn't need a remaster.

Basically a "why did you put out a remaster no one asked for when you have all there options available"

anast74d ago

They remaster is to put out something quick while they are deving new stuff. I don't get how people can be so static.

AlterRecs73d ago

There's no news about a third game being in production, you're just assuming that they're working on something that they aren't

anast73d ago

When they release the news to start the hype-train, you can give me my props then.

DrDoomer77d ago

I want an alternate timeline spin-off, where part 2 never happened.

CrimsonWing6977d ago

They’ve already done Remasters of 1 and 2… what else is there to Remaster?

AlterRecs74d ago

Considering they remastered the first game twice, who knows lol

CrimsonWing6974d ago

That was a Remake. I guess they could do that to 2, but man…. They should wait a couple generations so it can look like a major upgrade.
