GameZone writes, "When you hear “next generation” as a gamer, you start to picture photo-realistic graphics and movie quality games. In reality, you usually get enhanced console features such as online gaming and improved graphical capabilities like enhanced lighting effects. So while we’re closing in on the end of the Xbox 360’s lifecycle, we can start to picture what the Xbox 720 will look like."
Game Rant talked to Suda51 about a potential sequel to Shadows of the Damned, and here's what he had to say.
Is Capcom justified in releasing the game with 21 downloadable items?
all which you can earn IN THE GAME BY PLAYING.. sheesh.. people need to chill and stop trippin'.
capcom has done this with every resi game since 2, with devil may cry 4 and 5.
we should be complaining about the poor Performance
I'll be handing out homework In the form of research on the essence of the boiling frog syndrome because the comments already are afflicted with this.
*Performance comment Is spot on 5+ points.
Accepting that these publishers have these types of mtx In games Is tiring, "well, they've done it with their other IP" so should we accept it? Your acceptance of it happening is ruining gaming, just to make it clear.
But it's okay though, you can earn the stuff ingame. 🙃
Having not actually played the game, but only heard about what microtransactions are on offer, no. Dragon's Dogma 2 has not taken microtransactions too far. I think a game would have to go to extraordinary lengths to qualify for the statement 'taken microtransactions too far.'
I mean, I remember a rant from yonks ago (Dungeon Keeper mobile) which, just from memory, went WAY further than Dragon's Dogma 2, with literal days of waiting to mine a single block, and a huge price mark-up to advance.
So, no, Dragon's Dogma 2 hasn't gone 'too far.'
Over the last 25 years, there has been a fair few South Park games, and here GameSpew has ranked them all from best to worst.
We are going to see a lot of crap South Park products since they sold out to paramount years ago. It's their IP they can sell out, of course; it just means the quality of their show has tanked and other products as well. Nevertheless, they put on excellent musicals, but those haven't been sold to a mega corporation.
Loved the RPGs but never played the others. Have to track them down. Still not sure about Snow Day though.
More lasers.
Looking like this next generation will be the last as far as consoles as we know them are concerned. So I'd expect all of them to offer some sort of "cloud" and that eliminates the need to build expensive new hardware.
Then all the games are digital, eliminates all used game sales and these companies can keep 100% of the profit.
Of course they will still charge us full retail prices, because gaming isn't in a fragile enough state as it is.
I want more open ended games with better physics, more interactivity with the world, better A.I. better mocap and then obviously better visuals, also for micro, reliable hardware straight out the gate, I dont want Rrod to happen to me again, it was heartbreaking everysingle time it happened
I expect more Cloud features & Motions controls. Unless we get a big surprise.
It seems so far away even though we are nearly 7 years into this console cycle. Frankly I just want to put next gen on a shelf for now, all the articles are just sort of frustrating because its all speculation. Until then I want to try and appreciate the great games we have now on all platforms.
