Bandai Namco is a big publisher that has looked at its past titles and brought some of them over many times. To mention a few recent cases, we had the
A job listing published by the UK studio reveals that its next project will be another entirely new IP.
Good. Something not boring, not one of those "make your own game" crap and also on Steam would be nice.
Outriders developer People Can Fly's next game has been canceled after its publishing agreement with Take-Two Interactive fell through.
"the capital group of PCF Group S.A."
If you're getting funding from a group that needs two different ways of Acronyming itself, things will not go the way you want them to.
Outriders was crap. They slapped that game together and threw in a loot system to get players' attention. This game was absolutely jank and the always online nonsense made it stutter like crazy. People Can't Optimize.
I liked Outriders but I could see where the artistic vision was compromised. The way the industry is now, it wouldn't surprise me that upper management would scrap something that didn't pull in money via gaas, mts, or other means.
The new Escape from Tarkov Unheard Edition has the community in an outrage after promising exclusive access to the new PvE mode for $250 USD.
$250? Do they not know all the other games that already exist or will be made in the future that can do similar?
This is for the hardcore people that have 2500 h in the game. They basically play that one game the whole year.
Oh and those same people are mad as hell at this... what a way to reward fans of your game and annihilate newcomers.
Read a comment earlier calling it a "special monetization operation." I had to chuckle at that.
Oh yeah, Fragile Dreams: Farewell Ruins to the Moon. That is still one of the best atmospheres I have ever encountered in a game. The way everything slots itself perfectly when we talk about the scenario, the stories and the characters creating this extremely melancholic atmosphere that builds on itself the more you explore is terrific. And given that a remaster for newer platforms would also help - not fix, but help - with its largest drawback was the terrible "motion-based" combat. I would definitely dig it.
And Xenosaga is probably on the top list of any jRPG fan. So there is very little to say about them.
Tales of graces, abyss, xillia 1+2 really need remasters. It's crazy namco hasn't done them yet. They can also do the old snes, ps1, and psp games as well and localize the ones that never made it to the west.
I'm really glad we got the baten kaitos games. You think about it, geez namco has some great games and ips left alone lol.
I would love to see the Ar Tonelico trilogy along with Ar Nosurge and Ciel Nosurge. I would also love to see the Xenosaga trilogy remastered two of my favorite franchies next to Tales.
