I really don't know how it's going to redefine gaming but I'm looking forward to getting back to the old west. I would like to hope that this is going to be a very massive single player experience with focus on story over using the game as a platform to push microtransactioned online like GTAV became.

We have every reason to believe and trust Rockstar, really we do. But, with all the money they made off of V's online I have a tingling feeling that this " redefining games" statement will involve Online/MTs etc and its not entirely about the SP part of the game, if any...

seanpitt232086d ago

There is only rockstar, naughtydog and cd projekt that can push gaining forward

If only 3 out of the countless studios in business could be responsible for moving the entire industry forward, we wouldn't have gaming. And any developer from those studios you mentioned would say the same thing, because they're aren't nearsighted biased dummies.

I'd say Rockstar has been a quality staple for 18ish years. Nintendo is always pushing gaming forward with innovation along with Sony Santa Monica. Also don't forget that Microsoft brought consoles to the online-front (not the first, but definitely the ones that popularized it.

Along with that Rocksteady made the formula for Comic Book games with Batman, which in a short few weeks Insomniac is looking to expand. Then you have the indies, which could argueably be the most disruptive group.

You must not play many types of games if you believe this.

roadkillers2086d ago

Bam! Read my post, i typed that beforre insomniac said Rocksteady redifined comic book games. Some call me a prophet and some call me a better Michael Pactor, either way I create the posts before they bēcome news. Bow!

if gta5 was any indicator what direction they are going into i bet they are talking about new ways of microtransactions.

JackBNimble2086d ago

I doubt it, why would they change the online formula that has made them Billions?

"Red Dead Redemption 2 Will 'Redefine' Gaming" Only if they finally got rid of tapping X/A to sprint.

bouzebbal2086d ago (Edited 2086d ago )

you got a point.
horizon was so smooth with L3

jairusmonillas2086d ago

GTA 6 is going to do that not some overhyped cowboy game like RDR 2.

RDR2 is overhyped and overrated. There's not much to do with cowboy setting you can't even drive on that game. Horse Riding.. lol that's so boring.

damn...that's some fine trollin' partner ;P

An Update on This Year’s BlizzCon and Blizzard’s 2024 Live Events

Blizzard writes: "After careful consideration over the last year, we at Blizzard have made the decision not to hold BlizzCon in 2024. This decision was not made lightly as BlizzCon remains a very special event for all of us, and we know many of you look forward to it. While we’re approaching this year differently and as we have explored different event formats in the past, rest assured that we are just as excited as ever to bring BlizzCon back in future years."

Sony Patents To Prevent You From In-Game Harassment By Reading Your Emotions

A new patent recently published by Sony wants to gather biometric data of gamers to track whether one is being harassed using AI tools.

Profchaos21h ago(Edited 21h ago)

I hope this is one of those patents that never comes to fruition.

I already dislike the fact you can pay a significant amount for a online service buy associated games and content on said service and get banned from that service over potentially a misunderstanding the bans are already handed out for flimsy reasons

I'd rather see money invested in a ban that simply removes the offensive players ability to communicate with unknown players allow them to continue party chats with friends but not with Joe blow on cod.

exputers18h ago

Agreed. Blizzard recently banned a college Overwatch 2 player who's dependent for saying "shit." Pretty harsh.

Profchaos3h ago(Edited 3h ago)

How rediculas really. You can't say a word that's allowed in most PG films and prime time TV but the game is based around killing the enemy team using guns, explosives etc.

It's just backwards.

What your talking about is called block list

In 2006 a spaceship dropped of the playstation 3/xbox 360 i say that that generation was the last great gen with game functions/tech that has yet to comeback

Anyhow the playstation 3 if you block listed a id they could not talk to you in chatroom with either text or voice. But that was pre mind fucked 2018 when people were more human than sheep.

But hey gta 6 is coming out billion dollar budget without a single player custom character creator and without singeplayer coop off/online something saints row 1-3 had on the xbox 360.

Take my social security and bank account numbers too! Here’s a picture of my wife and our address.

Cmon where's the pictures of your children. Don't hold out on them.

At this rate I feel Sony will eventually sell a room to play games in it where they can monitor your every breath

jambola10h ago

I genuinely get a bit worried sometimes when a friend says something that could be offensive In a party
Because I have no trouble believing some bans would happen when in a private party for saying something wrong

SegaSaturn66913h ago

I want them to censor erotic content by measuring my groin temperature so i dont get too distracted while playing black ops 2.

Popsicle12h ago

Terrible idea. Not only do I not consent to providing my biometric data, the potential for mishandling biometric data is almost a certainty. Positive stress and negative stress can produce similar changes in biometrics. Interpreting the precise emotion a person is feeling is not only invasive but could be easily misconstrued. I hope this never comes to fruition.

Embracer CEO demonstrates a masterclass in mental gymnastics in latest interview.
"I'm sure I deserve a lot of criticism, but I don't think my team or companies deserve all the criticism. I could take a lot of that blame myself. But ultimately I need to believe in the mission," he said.
