Dark Souls, Banjo-Kazooie, Zelda, Resident Evil, God of War, Devil May Cry, Final Fantasy, Grim Fandango, Borderlands, Gears of War, Journey, Saints Row... 2015’s release schedule reads somewhat like a greatest hits of the games industry.
These aren’t really new releases, of course. They’re titles from the last three decades of gaming, remastered and revamped for the new generation of consoles: from 1983’s Jetpac, the first game from the company now known as Rare, which is included in Rare Replay, to 2014’s Dark Souls II, which waited just one year to reappear as Scholar of the First Sin.
Craig Duncan, studio head at Rare, which launched a comprehensive remastered collection spanning its 30-year history back in August, adds: “When you have great games and franchises that fans love it’s great to bring them back in a way that is easy and accessible, either for players that have played before to experience again or new players that maybe missed the original the first time round.
Franchise General Manager Rod Fergusson said overpowered builds can be really, really fun in Diablo IV, so they won't be fixed immediately.
Working until you're more powerful is the point. There's no sense in putting in any real effort if everything just scales to you.
The only real reason for these types of rpgs to include level scaling is to get you to spend more time playing.
It removed entirely the feeling of becoming more powerful
@Crow: although I’m not a fan of level scaling, once you reach lvl 100, the scaling stops in the open world and you can make your nighmare dungeons as hard as you want.
Going back to low level dungeons is like cutting a knife through butter, so yes, you can feel really powerful but it’s a bit pointless for rewards.
Path has more depth than Diablo, not everyone likes it.
I do however, looking foward to Path2 but I enjoy D4 as well. Will probably stop playing when Path 2 is out tho.
Path 2 looks incredible. I only played D4 a few hours, it’s not for me, became repetitive and Grundy, i already knew what I was in for and the reviews and disappointed players proved it to me. Path 2 looks BANANAS.
PoE 2's closed beta is scheduled for June 7th of this year. That doesn't included an open beta or changes likely to happen from feedback (Feedback that GGG is more likely to consider than most developers) so to say it's coming out soon seems to be settling one up for disappointment.
I fully expect us to be closer to a year out than anything else.
@sagapo PoE has more depth as it's been built on for a decade. I'm not saying PoE2 won't have depth at release but it won't have PoE's depth.
It's going to be a great starter point for new people to the series.
"I fully expect us to be closer to a year out than anything else." nooooo
Path will still have more depth though.
Legend has it that this list of the best Xbox One Co-Op games is so good, it may require four people to fully enjoy.
Blizzard feels good about its servers going into launch.
