Warner Bros. Interactive Entertainment recently announced that Batman: Arkham Knight will be a PS4 exclusive in Japan, but something strange can be seen in the list of games that will appear at the booth at Tokyo Game Show.
Unfortunately, the open worlds in games like Middle-Earth: Shadow of War, Halo Infinite, and the original Assassin's Creed do more harm than good.
I legitimately loved Halo's switch to open world. They made traversal of the map entertaining, and everything involved just tied into the (what I consider) awesome gunplay.
The entire time I really felt the slow takeover of the map, and all the little steps forward felt satisfying.
I don't know what more people really want there, considering the setting and story. A handful of soldiers hunkered down on enemy territory; slowly trying to win the battle.
I think R* are the only ones who have made compelling open worlds. I can’t stomach most open world games and how boring they are with busy world. It’s like a flex to make this massive environment, but it’s extremely boring to traverse and play in. GTA V and Red Dead Redemption 2 blew me away with how incredible their worlds were. Elden Ring was the only other game to give me that sense of awe.
I’m back on an open world kick after Horizon. I don’t know what clicked in me but exploring the map and seeing the detail work has me loving open worlds again. Playing AC Odyssey on hard and really enjoying it and the map. Reinstalling RDR2 tonight because damn, that map is just incredible for sightseeing.
Halo Infinite felt off. It's like the developers didn't know what they really wanted to do
Depends on which open world titles u play, most of em are shitty AF, but I honestly admire open world genre, sometimes to just take a break from fighting and missions you explore n see details you haven't noticed before cause you were too busy body at first, then boom finding some dope equipment or things to sale
Starting today, Dying Light Enhanced Edition and Shapez are free at Epic Games Store. Once you claim them, they're yours to keep.
Get ready to enter the post-apocalyptic world of Dying Light, where you’ll need your wits and survival skills to stay alive.
Damn, this is a huge win for Sony if this is true. If this keeps up, Xbox Japan players won't get to play Mad Max.
What was Microsoft thinking? Just sell Xbox where Xbox sells best.
They didn't even release Injustice with it and delayed a Lego game.
Lets not bend the truth here media. WB hardly had faith in XBO to begin with.
670k PS4 vs 23k XB1. No profit for XB1 in Japan.
Looking at how bad the xbone is doing in Japan, and knowing that it will only get worse, this look like the smartest decision to cut distribution cost...
We will see if it'll happen soon enough.
