I just want a next gen Just Cause 3. I'm down for other games though. Just Cause 2 was a hidden gem. Some people slept on that game.

BlackTar1873995d ago

yea def. a good game. And i was a big lost fan when it released so the Lost island inclusion was awesome

Tdmd3995d ago

BlmThug3995d ago

Tales of Kenzera: Zau Review - Spirit Over Substance - Game Informer

Tales of Kenzera: Zau conveys its somber themes with nuance and passion. It's just a shame the gameplay doesn't always match those highs.

I fully expect to see this game at Xbox Showcase this year.

Me too.

I expect Hellblade 2 to be the start of a consistent stream of UE5 XGS titles. It's basically their default engine, save for ForzaTech and the proprietary engines in use at Activision and Bethesda.

Really looking forward to seeing the Forzatech based Fable. Playground games has had a great track record with the Horizon series, so lets see.

I fully expected to see it released about 3 year ago, but each to their own

Lightning7716h ago(Edited 16h ago)

There's no way it would release in 2021 especially when it was announced at the VGA's 2020.

purple10115h ago

@lightning, that’s when the first trailer was shown, but it was known to be in development much earlier and Xbox fans were tooting it to be released years ago, the initiative studio formed in 2018, and to my knowledge have not released a game

That’s 6 years and all you got is a trailer and some empty promises
Good one from Microsoft, yet again.

Lightning7713h ago(Edited 13h ago)

Such is game development, long developmental cycles is one of the big black eyes of the industry. I don't see you complaining about Wolverine that got announced in 2021, releasing in 2026 and only got one trailer.

purple1015h ago

@ lightning
Nice try but for one, 2021 - 2025 would only be 5 years not 6,

And for two insomniac have developed multiple games or have multiple games in development over that time, and the initiative only have the 1 game to be concerned with

For three, we all know the quality Wolverine will be and although I do hope perfect dark is good, it’s unlikely to be as good as insomniacs proven track record

Can you define “see”? Microsofts notorious for showing CGI movies as substitution for gameplay.

Agreed. They know they gotta come out swinging on this one. I’m pretty excited for it. Franchise is near and dear to me.

Good thing they got Crystal Dynamics to make it, at least they know how to make a game that has 60 fps.

z2g12m ago

Oh good. That should spare us from 3 months of pointless internet trolling drama

ravens5210m ago

Dope. Just curious. Is this a "Xbox win" or "uggh REMAKE"? Or that only applies to Sony remakes?

SpacedDuck7m ago

Love how Microsoft had this big new flash studio called The Imitative who were going to make this game and then everyone started quitting and they had to outsource it to CD.

Microsoft needs to figure out their crap, too many studios being run poorly.
