Bethesda “want to make our games available to the widest audience possible on whatever platforms that will support the game” – and while Wii “wasn’t even an option”, games such as Skyrim and RAGE could see release on the Vita and Wii U if their technical capabilities prove a “good fit” for Bethesda’s ambitions.
Replaying Skyrim after 13 years is a reminder of the progress made in western RPGs over the last decade, but also what's been lost.
RPGs are often huge, sprawling endeavours. With limited playtime, we have to choose wisely, so here's the best western RPGs available today.
"I started playing games yesterday" the List... Meh!
How about a few RPGs that deserve some love instead?
1 - Alpha Protocol - Now on GOG
2 - else Heart.Break()
3 - Shadowrun Trilogy
4 - Wasteland 2
5 - UnderRail
6 - Tyranny
7 - Torment: Tides of Numenera
And for a bonus game that flew under the radar:
8 - Banishers: Ghosts of New Eden
Not only glorious jank, but the idea that the story can completely change depending on what you do, or say, or side with, makes it one of the most forward thinking games ever. The amount of story permutation is the equivalent of a Hitman level but in Story Form. And it wasn't just that the story changed, no, it was that you met completely new characters, or missed them, depending on your choices. Made Mass Effect feel static in comparison.
Alpha Protocol was absolutely glorious, indeed. And it was, and still is, more Next Gen than most anything out there these days. In this regard at least.
Pity.
A new Partner Spotlight Sale is now live on the Switch eShop, including Skyrim, lowest price ever for Bomb Rush Cyberfunk, and more.
If Skyrim releases for Wii U, I`ll wait for that. Or else it`s pc for me.
Skyrim on the Vita would be awesome. I would gladly pick that game up on the Vita.
Vita version why no 3DS that thing does DX10 like shaders the 3DS should get these games too
If I had a reason to be using Vita alot, like commuting to work, or off travelling somewhere for a long time, or a job that involved sitting around doing nothing for hours... then Skyrim would be an awesome game to get for it.... so I hope it does come out in case I ever feel the need to have it while on the go....
I hope they bring Rage and Skyrim to Vita. Wii U may get and updated version with extra features and better visuals...I wonder if the graphical diff. would be noticeable from PS3 version?
