"Last Surprise" and "Mass Destruction" are two of the best Persona battle themes, no doubt.
CD Projekt Red developers have shared their thoughts on Gwent, hinting at the card game making its comeback in The Witcher 4.
The Witcher 4 developer CD Projekt Red is working closely with Epic Games in order to bring structural improvements to Unreal Engine 5.
As a dev, I can tell you that with 5, Epic made quite a leap. It perhaps may have done *too much* of a fidelity leap that most of its target hardware (Both PC and Consoles) struggles to hit 60FPS with all the new cutting edge features they added.
It may have had some issues with this generation to find a good home, but by PS6 the engine will have matured and found a good matching partner 🙏
Now that Sweet Baby is involved in this game. I’m really concerned it’s going to turn into a woke agenda poster child. I hope not but after what happened to the tv show, I won’t be holding my breath on this one.
Wow, they completely ignored Mass Effect and to some degree, The Witcher. Personally I believe they were the best RPGs of 2007 followed by Persona 3, but hey these are all just opinions.
Mass effect is kind of action game. Nothing spectacular here.
Fire emblem & Final fantasy tactics are turn based strategy. Like UFO, Fantasy general, Steel Panthers etc. Certainly it is not ComputerRPG.
AFAIK, Eternal Story is completely linear. In this case Eternal Story can not be RPG, just because gamer cannot choose game direction.
Where is Oblivion?
Do these guys from RPGamers know meaning of the term "RPG"? I foubt.
I think their interpretation of RPG is also in certain style of art.
The Witcher is Polish games.
Fallout was not so legendary in days we have been playing in Fallout. Fallout was too short(especially Fallout 1), has not so immersive gameplay(compared to Might and Magic 6 ) and has rather small world(compared to Buggerall of Bethesda and Might and Magic 6 ).
But in Fallout you could Really Role Play and Fallout setting was NOT fantasy - big plus for many people in those times. Of course, Fallout was not so "serious" as classic CRPG.
Nevertheless, Fallout was never sold well. Neither Fallout 1 not Fallout 2.
I see no point why fallout 3 will be great game.
