Games have come a long way in the past decade. Characters’ ability to emote thanks to the power of the current systems, and developers’ willingness to control the pace of stories, displays a new maturity for the industry. Gone are the days when we were told to care, replaced by genuine manipulation of our emotions. It looks like a trend set to continue with trailers such as that of Beyond: Two Souls’ showing an unusual confidence, and not simply blowing things up to please the crowd. True, this isn’t unique, but in a big budget title it’s rare to see such restraint.
Stellar Blade might be the hot game right now, but we already got a better version of it more than half a year ago.
The Finals’ next update could reveal this mysterious 5v5 game mode, as Embark teases major changes to the free-to-play PS5 and Xbox FPS.
GB: "With this feature, we take a look at Novastar Entertainment's upcoming Europa and why it could end up being one of the biggest games of 2024."
Majin and the Forsaken Kingdom for me. The flashbacks were amazing.
I've never cried playing a video game.. I'm a grown ass man. But Toy Story 3, now that's a tear jerker. That scene when they're all about to get burned, and start grabbing each others hands.. Holy shit.
Finally, someone recognizes the inFamous 2 scene involving Zeke and Cole. One of the most heart tugging cutscenes in my gaming history. That and the end of TWD game are the only moments in gaming that've made me cry.
For me:
Metal Gear Solid 3/4 (It's a tie between the two)
inFAMOUS 2 (Bad ending)
Heavy Rain (Tears in the rain ending)
Portal 2 (When that companion cube came back, I actually stood up and cheered)
Spec Ops: The Line
Killzone 2
Dark Souls (No game can get me that angry)
End of crisis core was really emotional just like the end of kh 1.
