It's a nice feature. I can only think of 2(?) other games that did something similar.

Star Trek Armada 2 was pretty much just a normal, generic Warcraft-style RTS... but there was a "cinematic" window in the corner of the UI with dynamic 3D camera movement, simulating the cinematic effects of the television series' (and movies). You could double-click it to go full-screen. It was a great way to make the passive, strategic combat a more engaging and visceral.

And I believe Star Wars: Empire at War did the exact same thing several years later.

Yeah, after playing it in the demo, it's a really neat little feature. I love how accessible the game is in all sorts of ways.

10 Video Game Sequels That Saved Their Franchise

Video game sequels like Assassin's Creed Origins, Doom (2016), and Fire Emblem Awakening were just what these franchises needed to be revitalized.

Lmao what’s Halo Infinite doing on this list?

Who would ever say Halo Infinite saved the Halo franchise

SullysCigar353d ago

Thought the same - very bizarre!

RE7 though... my God, what a shift over RE6! That franchise was definitely going in the wrong direction, so RE7 was a welcome return to form.

Resi 6 was and still is the worst entry in the series.
7 was a great turnaround, despite people’s concerned about the switch to FP perspective.

DMC5 definitely helped the franchise after the whole DmC debacle. Whilst it was a decent action game, it was a far cry from the series and the characters we knew.

AC Origins is my favourite in the entire AC series. Despite the switch to a more RPG style of gameplay - the setting, soundtrack, length, etc were all amazing. sadly followed up by the ridiculously long and “more of the same” Odsyssey.

I don’t feel it’s fair to say the franchise slipped with Doom 3, Doom 3 was incredibly atmospheric and took the game in a different direction but there’s no denying Doom (2016) was sensational.

Halo 4 & 5 were disappointing but Halo Infinite definitely didn’t save the franchise? What?

TheEnigma313353d ago (Edited 353d ago )

I'm going to have to go with SMB 3. I was around when SMB 2 first came out and people hated it. 3 is still arguably the best mario game created.

HellspawnPR1981353d ago

"Halo Infinite"? Worse Halo ever. Whoever made this list just lost all credibility.

Hofstaderman353d ago

In future lists of a similar nature I have a suspicion Final Fantasy XVI will feature.
