IGN - Wondering where this year went? Join the club. 2014 seems to have come and gone in a flash and S.T.A.R lab’s particle accelerator isn’t even to blame. We’ve all been a part of it, the ups and downs of the game industry, arguably some of the most polarizing we’ve seen in years and now it’s time to take a look back and reflect.
What story defined 2014? What moved you? Made you laugh? Made you rage quit only to come back for more? Made you wish it were 2015, already?!
We’ve compiled a list of those stories which you, the IGN community, chose to be the most popular.
Games such as Mad Max, Red Dead Redemption 2, and Batman: Arkham Knight desperately deserve a modern-day revisit.
RDR2 still looks astounding on PS4 Pro. i cannot imagine how it could look with a next gen upgrade.
Probably not very different.
No idea why this article is highlighting recent beautiful graphically-advanced games and saying they need current gen makeovers. They already look better than most new releases; just compare Arkham Knight and Suicide Squad!
It's obviously never gonna happen since Sony killed the game and studio, but Driveclub. Even in its current state, 10 years after release, it still puts many competitors to shame ...
Mad max ikr! Far cry primal, it amuses me how ubisoft just left ac unity hanging, sadly most of the good staff left from rocksteady while being forced to make that abomination smh
Rockstar Games' open world action adventure game, Red Dead Redemption 2, can now run on Android devices, but only barely.
Oh great. So glad this is a thing and not the current gen update we’ve all been asking for. /s
Red Dead Redemption 2 wins 'Best Game Sequel' in BAFTA poll, surpassing Half-Life 2 in a landmark victory.
hmm kinda out there i find red dead 2 a over hyped game i am sure there are other's out there worthy of this award.
Are we saying rdr 2 mp is better than the first one?
The cover shooting better on #2 than #1?
I mean they reused 80% of rdr 1 map on rdr 2
Red Dead Redemption 1 was better. A better story that's for sure but the world in red Dead Redemption 2 is fantastic. But overall yes Red Dead Redemption 2 is overhyped but with best living World ever made.
Oh rdr 2 world how you leave tracks what you can do and the npc's are great no doubt
For me its the forced guns one way to play missions and the camp you can do nothing be a ass and there is no change sense none of the hunting/donating.bounty/karma etc even taking care of your horse matters. Then you got the horse inventory along with them bringing in realistic inventory but at the same time have that slomo crap pick a lane is it a wild west sim or a max payne rip off.
Plus who cares about the mp. Single player is where it's at.
I don't think it's the best sequel either. I liked it but I can see why some say it's overhyped. That's because it was. Great game still. I'd take xcom 2 as a better sequel. I'm sure there's plenty others.
We care about mp because of gta v even if you been living under a rock you know what gtao did to gta v dlc.
Though rdr 2 mp failed it still put time/resources and budget away from the single player for a subpar experience compared to the first.
Hmmm don’t know about that one myself. There’s some good sequels there….
No way last of us 2 was a better sequel than the original resident evil 2. The story of TLOU2 was a huge let down for me!
Assassins creed 2 was a vast improvement over the original and still the very best of the entire franchise imo.
Half-life 2 will always be legendary.
RDR2 is great but the best sequel ever? I don’t think so… just my opinion though I guess
I also enjoyed TLOU2 but RDR2 edges it out for me. Both hit me in the feels but RDR2 just a little bit more lol.
Sure, if you started playing game yesterday and just for this series. Otherwise? lol... No.
Tomb Raider exclusive, Street Fighter exclusive, Destiny over hyped and low scores.
Street Fighter V Exclusive for PS4 and PC and the cross play option.
Probably also the Bloodborne reveal at E3, and the Mortal Kombat X Debut Trailer and the gameplay one during E3
That Bayonetta 2 was still only on Wii U...at least according to every comment section until release.
Gamergate, 1080p, etc... mostly negative things. Hopefully next year it's all about great current gen only experiences.
