From Big Daddy and Yoshi to Ray Man, Sub Zero, and others, 411's David McGregor ranks his Top 40 Iconic Video Game Characters, starting with #40 to #33!
Electronic Arts‘ popular free-to-play life-simulation video game franchise “The Sims” is breaking from tradition, with the gaming company confirming Tuesday that there are no plans for a “The Sims 5” game as the successor to the current edition, “The Sims 4.”
Instead, “The Sims 4,” now a 10-year-old title and the longest-running installment in the franchise’s 25-year history, will continue to receive updates and paid expansions, most notably a multiplayer mode and partnering with some “Sims” players who develop their own custom content for the game to sell it through the EA store as “Creator Kits.”
After seeing inzoi I’d delay with some experimental “expansions” like multiplayer too.
Console Creatures writes, "The BioShock film at Netflix is still happening but with a reduced budget."
It's 10 years too late for a BioShock film. The world of Rapture would have been perfect for a film. It's actually a good candidate for proper utilization of 3D, for increased depth rather than bullshit popping out of the screen. It could really show off the underwater city that way. But BioShock as a brand is so irrelevant these days that a film just doesn't make sense. Especially considering it would need a big budget and top notch effects to really take advantage of the IP.
Netflix greenlights anything, so that shows me very little faith in the project. Enough to just crap something out as they're, more and more, known to do.
I'll laugh if it turns out to be better then the Borderlands movie
A Mortal Kombat Remaster could be in development, as teased by the Eyeballistic CEO on Twitter through allegedly AI-generated images.
Didn't they have HD remakes of the first 3 games ready and for some reason decided not to release it? And also, wasn't a remake of the first game being developed already with all new actors portraying the original cast and they shelved that one too?
It's all they know how to do now huh ? Could've atleast have a look at remaking/remastering Shaolin Monks.
Man I miss the late 90s. 3d platformers were so much fun and different and unique in their own way. Sure, a good amount of them were Mario 64 clones but they were some of my favorite games. The genre is now overshadowed by dark gritty shooters and are labeled as "kiddy" but I, for one, would love to see a few more games like 3d platformers or games that don't take themselves so seriously. Its not about realism all the time with me its all about having fun and that genre doesn't disappoint in that area.
I agree...
Mario, Banjo, Abe, games with style and a caricature/toon appeal are always welcome for me... A nice mix of Uncharted/Link-Zelda/Mario/Gea rs/LBP for example is a perfect formula for me...
