Most Anticipated Next Gen Games

"There are so many enticing games coming out this year. With the PlayStation 4 and Xbox One around the corner combined with the Wii U finally picking up steam, we wanted to take a look at our most anticipated title for each one of these platforms coming out this year. It’s hard to choose just one game for each system but that’s part of the point in narrowing it down to what you are looking most forward to. Join BootHammer as we take a look at our top picks for 2013."

If I had to pick only one exclusive for PS4, I would choose Second Son over Shadow Fall. Shadow Fall looks amazing, but Second Son looks insanely fun. And the hero is basically Troy Baker (voice and mo-cap) so yes, I'm definitely sold lol.

BootHammer3927d ago

You couldn't go wrong with either! Second Son does look incredible, can't wait for both =)

starfox793927d ago

It looks a little better than ps3 ?? knack looks poor,Killzone doesn't even look as good as the tech demo for the ps3 way bk at E3 2006 ???

iamnsuperman3927d ago (Edited 3927d ago )

@starfox79

Does any game look like that demo? No even if we are ignoring the change in art style.

edit: Actually I am wrong (just rewatched the 2006 tech demo). A lot of games look better than it. It actually looks very dated and bland despite being CGI pre-rendered hopeful stuff

abzdine3927d ago

yeah man, Killzone and Second Son will be the two next gen titles to watch closely.
i'd add DriveClub for some high speed driving awesomeness, and Quantum Break cause that trailer makes me wanna know more.

I_am_Batman3927d ago

I've done a list with all the games coming to PS4 and ordered them by personal hype level:

^ This guy...Early morning trolling.SMH!

showtimefolks3927d ago (Edited 3927d ago )

I know we didn't see gameplay but the order 1886 has me very interested

But at launch

KZ
Drive club
watch dogs
Knack but I may get this after a price drop

I so want a badass ratchet and clank game for ps4

The most stunning game at E3 for me was MGS5

STANK083927d ago (Edited 3927d ago )

I agree with Starfox. Killzone 2 tech demo blew me away and was my sole reason for owning a PS3. KZ Shadow Fall looks like a Crysis wannabe.

Knack LOL? Please don't get me started on Knack. Knack is the type of game only a fanboy would love. The Division was most impressive IMO.

rigbybot1273927d ago

Why is Knack a fanboy game? It looks like a fantastic platformer, to me.

starfox793927d ago (Edited 3927d ago )

Well said mate,glad u agree,anyone that thinks ps4 games look noticeably better than ps3 are smoking something,with GTA,WATCHDOGS,TITAN FALL,GHOSTS,BLACKLIST,basicall y every game is hitting ps3 and 360 so getting them to jump ship to essentially play the same games just a little better looking with the same controls i can't see it happening,wiiu has exclusives that will sell consoles and has the best 2 3rd party multiplat games coming this year WATCHDOGS and SPLINTERCELL.

Mikefizzled3927d ago

Whilst I'm looking forward to a mauling from my friends on Forza 5's Drivatar I'm still more interested in Project Spark and Quantum Break.

Killzone After a Decade in Hibernation

It's been 10 years since Killzone: Shadow Fall arrived for PlayStation 4 early adopters, and there's no sign of another sequel.

Obscure_Observer154d ago

Sadly it was dumped by Guerrilla to focus on Horizon games only. Mainline, VR and Multiplayer.

Vengeance1138154d ago

lmao sadly? Are you pretending to have actually played the series lol Sorry bud, no Killzone on Xbox.

Cacabunga154d ago

With the downfall of COD and BF, Killzone def. has a chance to make a groundbreaking comeback

154d ago
Notellin153d ago (Edited 153d ago )

What a low-functioning reply here typical of the fanboy N4G community.

Rimeskeem154d ago

“Dumped”

I think it’s called moving on.

Barlos153d ago (Edited 153d ago )

They brought out 4 main games and 2 spin offs: one on PSP and one on Vita. That's a decent run for any series. I also understand that Shadow Fall wasn't a success commercially despite it coming out at PS4 launch, and as a big Killzone fan even I couldn't get into it, so I think Sony/Guerrilla could see it was time to move on.

Don't get me wrong, I'd love another Killzone game in the vein of KZ2 but it's just not happening. Hell, I'd even take a remake or remaster of the first 3 games.

I'd hardly say it was "dumped" though, it spanned 3 console generations and 2 handheld generations.

1Victor153d ago

@obscured:”Sadly it was dumped by Guerrilla to focus on Horizon games only. Mainline, VR and Multiplayer”

Happily it was dumped by Guerrilla to focus on Horizon games only. Mainline, VR and Multiplayer( edited to reflect the writer true feelings and allegiance)
Kill zone was a FPS far ahead of its glitched competitors with nauseating bad camera angles, 10 years old screaming curses like a drunk sailor and bot aiming assist.

ChasterMies153d ago

“Sadly”?

The Horizon games were among the best games of all time. Killzone Shadowfail wasn’t.

Shane Kim153d ago

True, but damn the memories of KZ2 multiplayer. Still no MP as fun as that to this date.

Mr_cheese153d ago

Dumped and shelved are two different things

Tacoboto153d ago

And Sony as a whole dumped the FPS genre so they wouldn't have products competing with COD and (until purchase) Destiny.

GoodGuy09154d ago

I loved the KZ2+3 campaigns and MP in 2. There could be so much more done with the franchise. Horizon although good, I wish they'd go back to this wonderful IP. Take a break from Horizon please.

Flawlessmic154d ago

Agreed dude, I would absolutely love a reboot of the series, one can only hope that either resistance or killzone makes a return.

Have nothing but great memories, especially of the first 3 games, but all 4 were show stoppers graphically.

blackbeld154d ago

To making it a successful reboot they have to change that buttons layout! Make it playable like the cod button layout. Otherwise I’ll skipping it again.

Rynxie153d ago

And that's the reason why many fps games failed. Instead of being original and catering to it's fans, they tried to make it like cod. No, kz doesn't need cod button layout. It needs to be like it was on kz2 or balanced liked kz3.

Lightning77154d ago

I think Kill Zone would do great in Sony's LS push. As well as MAG reboot and bring back Resistance into LS.

Sharky231153d ago

@Lightning77

I think WarHawk would have been a great Live service game.

thorstein154d ago

Killzone games were so polished. The gameplay was just simple joy. MP was one of the best experiences.

I remember KZ3, just staring at how awesome they animated the water and then getting wasted because of it.

P_Bomb154d ago

It’s been a decade? Now I’m sad.

LiViNgLeGaCY153d ago

I hear ya bud. We're due for a revival.

Up there with the top tier in the industry. Love Guerrilla Games - Horizon Burning Shores is simply STUNNING.

1Victor344d ago

Can’t wait for their next franchise

SullysCigar344d ago

Same. They nailed it with Horizon. The trouble is I also want a new Killzone! Can't I just have it all?!

jznrpg344d ago

I’m with you I want Horizon 3 , Killzone and new IPs

badz149344d ago

I have yet to play Burning Shores as I just started Forbidden West (bought at launch, just unwrapped last weekend LOL) and playing on PS5.

man...I still can't believe the graphics especially now I'm playing it on my LG OLED. that graphics and with stable performance backing it up, GG really is the master of their craft!

Vengeance1138344d ago

32.7M sales in the Horizon franchise! With 8.4M coming from Forbidden West alone! Truly a hugely successful game and franchise as a whole. Looking forward to Horizon III

Shane Kim344d ago

That's kind of a huge drop though. It's only been two games.

VersusDMC344d ago

One year after realease HZD sold 7.6 million.

https://www.noobfeed.com/ne...

So not a drop off.

Unless you're saying a HFW should have sold as much now as HZD sold in 5 years?

Vengeance1138344d ago

It's been 3 games, this includes Call of the Mountain. Also no, its a great improvement over HZD.

solideagle344d ago

lol you are comparing:

HZD: 28 February 2017 - May 2023 (6 years+)

HFW: 18 February 2022 - May 2023 (1 year+)

We will see if it surpass original number.

Phoenix76344d ago

@shane, 2 full main games, 2 DLC add ons, 1 VR spin off game, oh and a an official LEGO set.
Not too bad for an ip that's only been on market for 6 years

REDGUM344d ago

Wow, very impressive. I didn't know the numbers were so high for Forbidden West. Still playing through it myself

thesoftware730344d ago (Edited 344d ago )

Yooo, when I first saw that Killzone 1 footage at E3, my friends my brothers and I were like, Holy shit! When it came out, it didn't look exactly like it, but we sunk so many hours into 1 & 2.

I even liked Killzone: SF, it was a spectacle to look at, and even today it looks good. I hope they make a new one. Can you imagine how that will look, and they can get some modern FPS pointers from Bungie.

blacktiger344d ago

thank you fps lover, I'm with you

talocaca344d ago

Such a wonderful studio. They deserve all their success.

The Decima Engine is absolute 🔥 I'm just mad they have abandoned Killzone.

OzzY-waZZy344d ago (Edited 344d ago )

Kinda wish they move on from Horizon tbh.

potatoseal344d ago

They are probably working on mutiple projects. One of them is Horizon 3, but another is a multiplaer game and probably somehting else.

Imalwaysright344d ago

There were rumours that they were working on a Socom reboot.

SimpleSlave444d ago (Edited 444d ago )

I'm glad they didn't. I heard he was asking for way too much money to reprise his role as a mascot. Which is ludicrous since everybody knows Rambi is the real star here. Enguarde is just a second stinger at best.

The audacity of this fish! SHAME!!!
