It might not seem like it to some, but when Nintendo's Wii U video game console launched in November of last year more than 30 games launched with it. Of those, all but four were third-party titles. Since that time, however, it's been as if the flow of third-party titles for the console have slowed to a mere trickle.
Looking ahead with 2013 almost a third over, it appears that game publishers are ready to turn the faucet on nearly full blast yet again as the Wii U has a number of notable third-party titles on the horizon.
From Xfire: "Steam users and the larger PC gaming community are lashing out at Capcom over a streak of sneaky DRM updates as the Japanese gaming giant continues to flirt with controversy"
Do they want more of their games to be torrented? Seems like it, I don't mind 🤣 Just ripped them a new asshole on Twitter, as I do not care what I say or post on there LOL.
This is classic Capcom. They everything they go on a hot streak and win back some consumer good will they have to turn around and burn it to the ground and have to start the whole process again.
Additional DRM just pushes people to pirate more. These ignorant executives just don't get it. Only the legitimate customer is affected by DRM. 😕
Tom Clancy's Splinter Cell has been out of action for a decade, so it's time to look back at 2013's Splinter Cell: Blacklist.
Sam Fisher is evidently the most skilled stealth operative because no-one has seen him in his own game for years
The entire mark and execute system belonged in another game.
It’s cool, but the polar opposite to how Sam Fisher initially handled.
The original trilogy made shooting very, very difficult, yet a viable option, which ultimately motivates stealth.
The mark/execute system makes shooting stupid easy, to the point of why would you even bother trying stealth as an alternative?
The sad part is that I actually really enjoyed the last game, Blacklist. It may have lacked the iconic voice but the gameplay was excellent, and blended stealth, action and a mix really great compared to most games, where none of the three options felt like the wrong way to play. I really hope they either produce a remake of the original game or a proper sequel.
With series staple Mercenaries Mode returning to the Resident Evil 4 Remake, it’s time to remind fans of another mostly forgotten mode from the RE series. Reaching the second chapter in the 2012 3DS game Resident Evil: Revelations unlocked something called Raid Mode for players to enjoy. Unlike Mercenaries, Raid Mode is not a time-attack mode and instead operates as a more RPG-lite version of the main game. While players are expected to try and hammer down on a handful of levels in Mercenaries, Raid Mode gives players a much more expansive game type to play around with.
This mode was included in ports released on the seventh and eighth generations of consoles and was part of Resident Evil: Revelations 2, which was released in 2015. However, the Revelations duology is the only time that Raid Mode has existed in the massive Resident Evil franchise, and that should change in some future release.
I'd like to raid mode make a return in the future. When Capcom was hacked there was a as of yet announced RE game in there that I was hoping might turn into Revelations 3. There were also reports that whatever that RE game was scrapped and cancelled.
None of these sound good. Except...maybe Injustice.
why oh why? Such a missed opportunity to shine 3rd party wise.. I believe they tried but not hard enough with publishers.. At least i know wii u will get some great indie titles as well as 1st party so its not a total waste of money.. But i really wanted it to replace my PS3/360 for 3rd party games for the remainder of this gen but thats NOT gonna happen if they dont get their network straightened out & more publishers to back em up..
If porting is easy on this thing, why cant they get more multiplats?? I know devs need to come up with ideas for the gamepad but damn, just use it for basic crap or not at all! Put the damn games on the machine
Sniper and deus ex look good. If splinter cell is better on Wii u I'll get it on Wii u.
I love how dumbass haters keep approving this same lame article over and overfrom different websites. Seriously, this has to be sixth rendition of this crap I've read this week. No mention of Watch Dogs, Bayonetta, Batman AO, Splinter Cell, etc.
It's not Nintendo's fault Sega fucked up Aliens and Ubisoft delayed an ALREADY FINISHED GAME by 7 months. Considering the system is only 5 MONTHS OLD, it's had a hell of a lot 3rd party support, more than usual for a console this young into its lifecycle. Games like Zombi, Lego City, and Monster Hunter are not only top-quality, they're EXCLUSIVE to the Wii U. Tell me, how many 3rd party exclusives did PS3 have in it's first year, let alone half year? then you have Indie support in games like Nano Assault Neo, Trine 2, Runner 2, etc.
What, exactly, do you trolls think you're going to be playing for the year the PS4 is out? Do you think devs are going to invest $30+ million on a game for a console with an install base of only 2-3 million (maybe less considering there's confirmed to be no BC support), because that's a pipe dream. You'll be playing 1080 ports of PS3 games, AT BEST, like Watch Dogs, sports games, etc.
I really hope Killzone, Drive Club, and Infamous are all they're cracked up to be, because those are going to be the only unique games worth playing for the first year, until the install base grows to a point where 3rd party AAA titles can be profitable. I know facts are forbidden in FanboyLand, but there it is.
Speaking ill of the PS4 on here is tantamount to blasphemy. Watch yourself out there. lol jkjk
