i got my warm up here, now i'm going to pornhub

Summons753201d ago

See you in 3 years I guess...

Lev19033201d ago

IF we are lucky that is. Its a small team making a big game.:S

spacedelete3201d ago (Edited 3201d ago )

by the time it gets announced or released we will be getting news about next gen consoles and no one will care. i don't know why they bothered but hey they fooled enough mugs to get 6 million from so thats all they care about now.

Fishy Fingers3201d ago

No one cares about current gen games in the last few years of a cycle? History shows they tend to be the more successful due to the install base and ability to maximise hardware resources through experience.

It'll probably ship in 2-3 years, it's unlikely we'll see anything but rumours of next gen by then anyway.

"by the time it gets announced or released we will be getting news about next gen consoles and no one will care"

My bs and downplay meter is beeping out of control

The 10th Rider3200d ago

I certainly think people will still care. But Shenmue is a niche game that managed to grab a lot of attention right now. I think in the more mainstream sphere of gaming most people who haven't played Shenmue, but had their interest kindled, won't be nearly as interested. The audience will be mostly back to its usual niche group.

There were 7 years between Playstation 3 and 4 releases. PS4 at end of 2013. Do you really think there will be a new Sony console before 2019 or 2020?

GTFO.

LordMaim3200d ago

No one cares about games made two years from now? Someone better tell all of the developers to stop making games right now, and start concentrating on the next gen systems, because otherwise they'll be making games for systems that no one cares about.

I wonder where this "no one cares" philosophy was at the Xbox One announce in 2013 when they were announcing games for 2016.

@brunire

it's not as far fetched as it sounds:

Personally I think the previous generation was far to long.

Spotie3200d ago

You sure do spend a lot of time trying to convince others that no one cares.

Let's just hope it lives it. Going to be tough.

fermcr3201d ago

My guess is 2018 at the earliest.

Ck1x3201d ago

That's definitely a fair assumption, this game is a ways off

The 10th Rider3200d ago

For sure. The kickstarter itself said holiday 2017 for the delivery of the rewards, I believe. And video game Kickstarters are incredibly notorious for missing their targets.

Never say never, I really didn't expect to ever see Space Marine 2 and 12 years later its almost here.
So there is still hope for all these games.

Chocoburger74d ago

I've completed 5 of the games on the list, but the author forgot to include Advent Rising. It was supposed to be a trilogy, but it bombed hard, and the two sequels never got made. It was Mass Effect, a console generation before Mass Effect.

The game is buggy and unpolished, it needed a few more months of development, but the potential was there. At the end of the game, you have all these super abilities, I remember the stomp attack that created a shockwave being especially powerful.

shinoff218374d ago

I personally think days gone will recieve some sort of sequel at some point. I'm personally also hoping it's not the rumored multiplayer online stuff. I'd think most that enjoyed it would rather thisnto.

Knightofelemia74d ago

Sony needs to dust off Sly Cooper and Days Gone so needs a sequel two of my favorite Sony titles. Bulletstorm I love great game wish it also got a sequel. And I wish Namco would finally give Enslaved a sequel another great game.

Outrun was one of the greatest racing games ever

It's not that unlikely a source really.

RetroCaptainSteve537d ago

The racing connection is definitely there.
