NowGamer- What were the best games of Gamscom 2012? Well, here's what we thought.
Sammy: "It’s sad that PlayStation has moved on from some of these iconic brands, but it would be worse watching them rot. At least with this licensing strategy, there’s a legitimate opportunity for more great franchises to get a second chance. And if they sell really well, there’s always the chance Sony may decide to bring them back."
Love this idea. Let other companies release reboots of these classics to a wider audience. Everyone wins.
Remaster Puppeteer. It looked great on PS3 but it would be nice to have on PS5 with fast loading and some sort of 4k
IGN - Assassin's Creed's focus on character-driven storytelling has been buried by its RPG sandbox features, and the series is weaker for it.
A rare W opinion piece from IGN.
IMO, Ubisoft needs to setup two primary AC dev teams. 1 would focus on and release character-driven OG-style AC games for OG fans and the other would continue the current RPG-ified AC style for current fans.
Release by them Bi-annually and alternatively. There'd less fatigue and a boost to quality.
I definitely appreciate 3 more after playing it again in recent years along with the Liberation game. Back when 3 was new I was still riding high on AC2 and Brotherhood so when I played 3 I felt a bit let down. Even the ship battles grew on me.
AC2 - Yes
AC3 - Urm...I don't know
I feel they kind of dropped the ball with AC3 and with the way the story went it just didn't make sense to me at all. I felt it would have made more sense lore wise if they had it so the Red Coats were mostly Assassins and the Templars were mostly the Colonists who wanted this "new world" as a fresh start for their operations, to build a country up they'd have full control of from the start so they manufacture the war as something else while really it's just a front for the Templars vs Assassins.
It just meant that since the Red coats lose the war it explains how the Templars have gained full control of future America and how the Assassins have slowly died out by then. This entire event would have been the turning point of how things went to s**t for the Assassins and how there's not many of them left in the present.
Haythem was a lot more interesting than Connor and he should have been the main Assassin of AC3.
I thought AC2 was the greatest of the series and it is but replaying it recently, I stared to see more flaws in the game. Basically every single mission is an assassination besides a few tailing missions lol. Still, the implementation of all the new mechanics were great. The smoke bombs, disarming guards, story, hidden tombs, swimming, flying machine, multiple locations, etc. it definitely felt a bit more special to me at the time of release though
Dunno about 3, the 1st act was cool, then i couldn't tell you what happens after that. But 2 was so good! The entire acts 1-3 were al memorable, whereas i really couldn't even tell you what happens in any other AC game
A little-known game Puppeteer is on this list for the best PS3 platformers.
Puppeteer is really good. Nobody played it because it came out right before PS4 came out. When I went to pick up Puppeteer from GameStop some people were trading in their old consoles for PS4 preorder.
One of the best games, and my personal pick, announced in the show was Rain. I loved the atmosphere, the music that accompanied the trailer, and feels like it will be something unique, which I hope becomes as beloved as Journey was. Oh, and because I love when it rains, so I'll definitely like this game.
Honorable mentions:
•Tearaway: Made by Media Molecule. Can't go wrong with that.
•The Puppeteer: This game also looks unique and awesome. Can't wait to see more of it!
•Remember Me: Gameplay reveal looked awesome. Gameplay seemed smooth, hacking into people's minds and forcing them to think they killed someone but didn't may or may not break the game gameplay/story-wise, futuristic setting looked awesome. Character models need more detail and polish though. The facial models seemed a bit rough, but keep the main character's booty. Mmmmm, her booty was fine! The city was also raining in the demo, so I'm a bit biased on it :p
I want to see some Until Dawn gameplay but the most interesting game for me was Rain hands down. I'm really excited to see more of that
Regarding Puppeteer,
It also looks like it may feature Move control so hopefully you’ll get to do some actual puppeteering yourself.
Where in the trailer was there a sign of PS Move. I mean the game is fast paced and i dont see ps move fitting in there.
