The Activision Vivendi merger of 2007, despite being awesome for both companies involved, was not without its casualties. There was a new drive, and a new ethos with which the company would face the upcoming credit crunch, ensuring that the dollar bills would continue to fly in, regardless of the increasing urge of the gaming populace to tighten up their collective purse strings and hunker up until the whole shitstorm blew over.
While the mainstream media always sees things turning in favor of the hero, here are 6 games that own being a bad guy.
Pretty much all of these games listed are based around a morality system you don't have to be bad and you don't have to be good.
It seems to have left out some real amazing games like red dead redemption 1/2,ass effect and true crime la/ny
Armored Core VI?
Ok, I'm really missing something here. Just beat chapter 3 earlier this evening, unlocked A-rank Arena fights. I'm not seeing or sensing any branching paths or morality system and I've done every side mission and arena fight available to me up to that fight.
Is something big coming soon to branch the story?
No mention of Grand Theft Auto? Saints Row (original trilogy), Manhunt? Also The Suffering (depending on the ending you get).
As the world reels from the shockwaves of the seismic news that Microsoft is acquiring the proverbial swamp of the video-game landscape, Activision Blizzard King, it only seems natural that our minds should now shift towards what the fallout will be for presumably years if not decades to come.
Another Prototype would be awesome.
As for Singularity, I don't necessarily need a sequel, I just want to see Raven be able to flex their creative muscle again; not just be relegated to assisting with CoD. A lot of the old guard is still with the company.
That's part of what I'm hoping to see come from this acquisition. Revive teams like Vicarious Visions and Ravem to actually allow them to work on their own new projects again.
I'd like to see Activision get the Transformers license again and continue the War and Fall of Cybertron games. the movie games were crap and the game that combined both movie and Fall and War of Cybertron sucked a new Prototype would also be good as well.
Re-imagining of River Raid and the original adventurer Pitfall. Oh Zork is also a great game.
Movies and games have always had a closer connection. There has been an increasing trend in Hollywood to transform successful games in movies. While most of them have turned out to be disasters lik…
Some negative, but mainly positive. I think this is the norm. I think if you enjoy this sort of game you cant go wrong. I like gore too so.......yeah.
The same site scored Infamous a tad higher, which I think is competing for a similar market - at least with PS3 gamers.
As anyone out there played both? What is your opinion, I am quite interested in one, but not both of these games. (I am unemployed you see)
Obviously this is just my opinion but give inFamous a crack. Having said that I havn't played both. I just know inFamous is brilliant.
this game is getting miss review's lol.
I agree with MicroSony, simular in gameplay but different in terms of atmosphere, one is comic related where the other is more like a gored out action flick, for some reason alex mercer reminds me of the infected hybred vampire from blade 2 and whats even more crazy is I think the character from blade 2 was called Alex, Hmm infected huminoids in NYC "I am Legend" anyone! I wonder if the Devs had any interst i those two flicks?
