"Video games and consoles are constantly evolving, and the world has come a long way from the pixelated games on Atari and the original Nintendo. Some of the big names are still big, such as Nintendo and Sony, while others are still rather new to the market, such as Microsoft. Competition is still high but no matter what your one true console is, you’ve probably played some of the most influential games of the generation just past." -BootHammer
Virtuos is currently working on a multiplatform Unreal Engine 5 remake, which is rumored to be The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion.
I thought they’d go for Morrowind first to be honest but this is a welcoming surprise to tide us over before ES6
Unreal Engine isn't efficient for open world games, so I question the reliability of this story.
Hopefully modders can fix the aged combart in this game if this is true. Enemies leveling up with you broke and defeated the whole purpose of leveling up.
MW 2019 is five years old at this point and on previous gen hardware, but it is still the best looking Call of Duty game to date.
MW was an excellent videogame. They messed up Spec Ops big time, but aside from this it was a huge step in the right direction initially. Most notably, at launch it seemed to come from a very cohesive creative vision that was felt across gameplay, to story to art style/visual direction. It was also very notably written by prominent ex-Naughty Dog guys that quit almost immediately before release.
That COMPLETELY dissolved through post-launch content and the full pivot to a "cross-mode" narrative that completely obliterated the cohesion in overall story direction. Warzone then "became" the new face of Call of Duty and the franchise completely removed itself from anything remotely creatively "good". It is a pure money machine, so I kinda get why they're doing it....but I personally completely lost interest.
I would love to see Infinity Ward move off CoD and get to make their own product with full control. They clearly have some massive talent in their ranks but it's perverted by Activision's corporate interests.
Blizzard Entertainment has announced the opening of beta registrations for “World of Warcraft: The War Within,” inviting players to explore new subterranean worlds beneath Azeroth.
Great list but I also think Minecraft should be added in
Nice list, but where's Halo? :D
Good list!
Personally I would replace Gears of War with Halo 3 and Little Big Planet with Minecraft.
I feel like Uncharted 2, LA Noire, or Mass Effect should be included in this list somewhere. I think between the acting, motion-capture, and story-telling, took a giant leap last generation.
