Death Stranding has set a new record for the biggest launch sales of a new IP in Japan this generation. Its launch is very impressive, mainly because the game is a brand new and purposefully weird IP, which is a lot different from the previous works of Hideo Kojima.
FIFA president Gianni Infantino teases the future of FIFA games in a brand-new interview, and NBA 2K24 studio 2K Games might be behind it.
Hmmm, let’s see how they do. If they riddle it with microtransactions, hell no. Otherwise, I’m excited.
George Miller expressed dismay toward the 2015 Mad Max game recently, but Avalanche Studios' take on the lore is still so good to this day.
I think the funny thing is if Kojima made a Mad Max game it would be so trippy and "out there" I don't think it would feel like Mad Max by the time he's done with it. This is why he's better off with original new IPs.
Kojima seems like a buzz word these film directors use because he's probably the only big name they've heard from the gaming industry.
I never played it but the recent buzz around Mad Max has piqued my interest. Will check it out this year for sure
Honestly, Kojima would do the game justice, but given his studio's current workload, it's a bit far flung. I could much rather see Bend Studios (Days Gone dev) doing a Mad Max follow-up. I'm playing through DG right now for the first time and I see lots of similarities between the games to where imo Bend could develop an impressive MM sequel.
While i like the Mad Max game and think it's underrated...i don't know why people are mad at George Miller for not liking the game based on the IP he created. Especially since a lot of people hated it at release as well looking at that 69% metacritic.
Following a recent interview with Sony, Naughty Dog head Neil Druckmann claims the original intent was “unfortunately lost” in the process.
Glad he clarified it but i'm still somewhat skeptical. Plus, his comments about how Ai will revolutionize storytelling were still pretty iffy.
Here's hoping that it sells well in Europe and US too. A bunch of idiots are trying to smear the game and get it to flop. It's tempting to get involved it these discussions, but I'd rather finish it first and have time to reflect on it before putting a conclusive opinion out there. I think that many players think the same way. Hopefully the trolls get tired at some point and more reasonable opinions will start to propagtate more.
As it should - it's a fantastic game, different to what's available elsewhere. It just keeps giving the longer you play - on track to becoming a true classic.
Where I live I didn't saw a line during the release date of the game but I do hope it sells well. Eventhough the game isn't for everyone but I do love that it isn't trying to be another copy paste formulaic open world game.
I ignored the reviews. We live in a world in which Empty Calories are preferred to fine dining. With that said I went in only having viewed the trailers (not including the release trailer which I did not want to spoil story). The production values are absolutely unbelievable. Jaw dropping. The scenery, the tech, the setting. I already want to savor and sip upon what is on offer as it is just that good. It can be emotionally trying to play (in a good way).
For those that can appreciate what is on offer here, this is simply stunning and should not be missed.
For those that want mindless online mayhem and instant in your face gunplay....move on. Go play Fortnite.
