A new AAA release from Monolith?
Yes please.

WeAreLegion4442d ago

It's only been eight years. I can't wait.

Their FEAR games were an amazing balance of great horror and action. Looking forward to whatever IP they have if they can get the same feel from FEAR.

where you get to play as the monsters yourself? count me in!

I want claw 2 , condemned 3 and fear 4 ):

MadLad4441d ago (Edited 4441d ago )

I don't know.
I've always felt that Monolith was good at two things:

Original IP
Improving on others original IP

Whenever it came to sequels of their own games, they never seemed to be as good as the original. Condemned 2 was an all around good game, but it didn't create the chills or sense of tension of the first one. Went too over-the-top and contained too much action too much of the time. No build up. FEAR 2, in my opinion, was utter garbage. I loved the original and its expansions.

I am 99.99% sure they will do nothing with it

RaidenBlack115d ago

With all the renewed -ve PR the nemesis patent info got again this year, WB better persuade Rocksteady to implement it in some or the other in their next single-player game.

vTuro24123d ago

Hope whoever patented that system gets a good kick in the nuts.

Sciurus_vulgaris122d ago

An open world , single player DC super hero game with the nemesis system would have been great. Instead Warner Bros chased live-service and screwed over its developers.

How Dumb Decisions Can Ruin a Game

We’ve all been there, it’s 1 am and you’re trying to sleep but your brain keeps reminding you of all the dumb mistakes that you’ve ever made and it’s keeping you awake. If you think you feel bad, imagine that one of your dumb mistakes cost a company thousands of pounds (or dollars if you’re across the pond).

The dumbest decision I've had with any game was the devs/publishers forcing MT into a series that previously had none.

MeteorPanda1961d ago

the dumbest l remember is dishonoured. They gave us all these cool abilities but you actively got punished for using them and got the bad ending for doing so. like wtf. why put them in the game and then say don't use em?

Do memorials belong in video games?

Warner Bros. has made a big misstep with their newest DLC for Shadow of War. Their lack of transparency on paid DLC going to charity that was made to honor a dead coworker is a recipe for trouble. Especially when their only parroted response to the criticism is reminiscent of a well worded legal loophole.

We see memorials in a lot of mediums. Why shouldn't they be in videogames?

KwietStorm_BLM2852d ago

There's memorials in a lot of games. This specific situation does not fall under the same umbrella as in general, and changes the question considerably.

fenome2852d ago (Edited 2852d ago )

Memorials belong anywhere someone needs them, it can just be an insignia or rock formations, hell, I've got ink and scars that are memorials.

The whole paid DLC thing is weird though, especially since they're not very clear on the proceeds. If it was my friend I would have offered it for free with an option to donate directly. I'm not buying in either way, but that's just me.

EddieT2852d ago

Memorials in Video Games are a wonderful way of eternalising a person who had special significance to that particular game. Getting people to pay for that memorial and only donating a small portion of the proceeds to their grieving family is scummy and repugnant.
