Sure, a few games stepped it up last year, but you can't help but think sports games have hit their peak already.
Alone in the Dark developer Pieces Interactive has been hit with layoffs a month after its release, as per the latest information.
That genuinely, genuinely sucks. The reboot has clear flaws, but it really felt like a solid first step for this team to receive *greater* investment.
Shenmue: Reclaiming the Path is a fan game using Dreamcast-era visuals, and tells a new story within the Shenmue saga taking place in both Hong Kong and Guilin. Its expected to release on September 16th.
Something about recreating old school graphics in an era of HD high poly photo realism just hits a spot. I'm not nostalgic cause I mostly played GameCube and GB/A, but it's a visual style that gets over looked even by indies.
Definitely a fan project. Terrible hand animations. Some characters have very bad body proportions. Some look like little kids in adult bodies. Some have short arms, small head, big hips and so on.
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).
Yes most sports games if not all have reached their peak,Gameplay wise... but they are still going to sell by the numbers and we still going to buy the same shi*! every year.
The problem is there's very little competition in sports games. There only 1 nfl game, 1 nba game now, 2 MLB games but the show is ps only. So there's no one taking any chances or trying to do anything revolutionary. There is room for sports games to grow, but it won't happen in its current state.
In my Opinion, sports games are just not worth it man. It's something that is possible to perform in real life. I would rather play something like Need For Speed or Vanquish since I can't drive a car and out-run the cops or go shoot people in slow mo with futuristic weapons.
MLB the Show is seriously a cut above the rest. Great game.
Mlb the show 13.
I wish NFL 2K would come back. I hate madden!!!!!
