GenGAME writes: "Yesterday, Sony and Microsoft revealed their hands for launch day: Sony’s set to have 33 games by the end of 2013 – 15 at retail and another 18 as digital exclusives – while Microsoft’s got 23 at-retail titles in a row for day one.
"For both platforms, first-party day one games are pretty scarce, and many launch games are cross-generational multiplatform titles like Assassin’s Creed IV or Call of Duty. In an effort to diversify their lineups, Xbox has lined up a few big exclusives and Sony’s ramped up its indie outreach. The result is two launch catalogs that look the same at first glance, but are quite different when you dig deeper."
YouTuber Potomy has revealed new details about the new Bloodborne mod and that it is now in a playable state for Minecraft.
Given the medium's wild diversity, this primer of the essential video games everyone should try is a good place to start.
I can't fk with this list. They missed on alot of games probably before the writers times. Also I know people loved some portal but I was never a fan.
Tomb Raider 1
Driver 1
Abe’s Odyssey
FF6
King of Fighters 94
Mortal Kombat OG
LINK 2 the past
Street Fighter 2
Resident Evil 1
Infinite but not the first two games? Witcher 3 but not the first two games?? GTA V but not literally any of the games before it??? Portal 2 but not the first? Also if you're going to play Shadow of The Colossus play the remaster and not the remake. Can't say I disagree with the list but my man it's all over the place.
I mean some sequels are objectively better and you don’t need to play the whole series.
But most of these games have a story to follow, sure you can catch up with a YouTube vid but where's the fun in that?
A list like this isn't telling you not to play the previous games if you want to. It's just giving you legendary games to play.
But tbh, you don't always have to force yourself to play every entry in a franchise to get to the better ones.
- The vast majority of Witcher 3 players never played the first 2 and had a great time. The first 2 games aren't in the same league.
- The GTA games are self-contained with the odd fun reference. You can easily jump into any of them.
- The Shadow Of The Colossus remake looks and controls better than the original (plus it has a 60fps option while the remaster is just 30fps). New players will enjoy it more.
- Portal 2 is a lot better than Portal 1 and takes the concept much further gameplay-wise. Storywise, Portal 1 is fairly light too. Not that you shouldn't play it but realistically ... you'd love Portal 2 whether you play it or not (at lot of Portal 2 players have never played 1).
Bioshock 1 is the only one I agree with you on simply because it's one the best games of all time and arguably better than Infinite. No other setting like Rapture.
Looking at the list, I'd recommend playing Uncharted 1 before 2 but no doubt, 2 is the legendary one you have to play.
I get it, but that's just my opinion on his opinion. I just think that before you play a sequel you should still play what came before it. Maybe it's just me but i find it fascinating playing through the first game in a series and seeing how it has evolved through its sequels. Like I said I don't disagree with the list, other than SoTC which I strongly believe the remaster of the original should be played above the remake.
Awesome list! Hot take on Fear (and it's hard af expansion Persaus Mandate!) Bioshock Infinite is stellar, so is the Witcher 3 and you nailed it by having Ocarina of Time. So many fantastic games! Gotta play 'em all! Next one on my list is Prey after I beat Dead Space 2 and Splinter Cell Conviction.
Minecraft Bedrock is introducing add-ons to the marketplace. The add-ons can now be added to many existing and new worlds.
Nice! Next up, shaders on consoles.
“A new update is improving how mods work for Minecraft Bedrock. Mojang has introduced add-ons to the marketplace.”
“These add-ons can now easily be added to new and existing worlds instead of being tied to a single world.
There are plenty of free and paid add-ons that will let you customize just about anything in your world.”
So RayTracing is no longer locked to the NVIDIA maps? I know there was a workaround, but it will be nice to have easier access to all worlds.
knack against rise for your story pic driveclub or killzone lets not have ppl thinking sony is for kids
Easy win for Xbox One in my opinion. Others may think differently but that's the beauty of free will and choice.
It's really hard to compare exclusives on launch.
Xbox One- RYSE (3rd person Roman action game), Forza 5 (racing), Killer Instinct (fighting), Dead Rising 3 (3rd person/open world action game).
Versus
PS4- KILLZONE: Shadow Fall (1st person shooter), Drive Club (racing), Knack (???), and OctoDad (???)
we'll see what sales at launch people
and i never said anything about which line-up is better. I'M SAYING THE PIC IS MISLEADING
