Quite impressive and I really like the way that man thinks, although I am sure I couldn't fully understand it.

There was one thing that I noticed in that video that made me raise an eyebrow. At one point the dragon collides with one of the huge spires on the bridge just barely with his wing. That collision just simply moves the character over like it was original pathing without causing damage or destroying that piece of the bridge.

Other than that the video blew me away. I didn't really think that this kind of thing was possible but I hadn't truly imagined such a thing as a game. Regardless, I am extremely excited for this game. The independence in the missions sounds like both a great challenge and a ton of fun!

Voodoochild6505d ago

The video impressed me as well. The lighting and textures were so rich and detailed that it blew me away. I wouldn't say it's better than my Xbox 360's graphics, but it is defiantly par with them. The thing that impressed me the most was the controls in the game. I can't wait to play this title for myself.

specialguest6504d ago

if this game is impressive looking from an off screen video, imagine the direct feed video. also, it's not even close to finish, so they will eventually improve on the crowd of human AI. right now, they look like sitting ducks waiting to be killed.

DC RID3R6504d ago

but for All the prettiness that lair is, to me, the game's just a poor panzer dragoon wannabe, whatever angle you choose to look at it!!!

not an extremist, just a realest.

Arkham6504d ago

From a different angle? You mean, as in being able to fly in more than one "angle", and not just in a forward-only rail angle?

kikilala6504d ago

wow.. u got back a bubble.. congratulation.. dont loose it too soon man.. :D

Top 10 Bad Games by Good Studios

Alex S. from Link-Cable writes: "When shopping for new video games you can often trust the name publisher or developer on the box to be an indication of the quality of the game. Names like Nintendo, Square Enix, Sony Interactive Entertainment, Capcom, Xbox Game Studios and Sega are world famous because they helped shape the industry by releasing some of the most defining video games of all time. Though sometimes even these great gaming houses stumble and put out a stinker."

Splatterhouse remake . Loved the og’s at the arcade growing up . Hell the best thing about the remake was the og,s were included . And left alive by Square . That game had so much potential , but the gameplay was worse horrendous .

Game-ur1483d ago

once Great studios getting destroyed is actually common. happened with ND and Last of Us2, Bioware and Mass Effect Andromeda/Anthem, Bungle and Destiny .

BeRich2331483d ago

Fuse should have been on that list (Insomniac Games)

Yui_Suzumiya1483d ago

Splatterhouse remake kicked ass

merryja1483d ago

I personally don't like these games.

East76lands1483d ago

I'm pretty much certain that any Sonic game that comes out will be terrible, I've not enjoyed one since the original side-scrolling days of the MegaDrive.

HarryMasonHerpderp1483d ago

Then you might like a recent sonic "sonic mania".

jaymacx1483d ago

For this Topic it says Good Studios that make bad games. Sonic Team hasn't been good in years.

How often do disappointing games get remakes

darthv721960d ago (Edited 1960d ago )

well... if disappointing movies can get remakes then why not games? some of these have really good premise but somewhat disappointing execution. In the right hands they could be great.

I quite enjoyed lair (after the patch), too human and the order 1886. I'd even add in quantum break and recore as disappointing but with a good premise.

gangsta_red1960d ago

"well... if disappointing movies can get remakes then why not games?"

But how many disappointing movies actually get those? I'm still waiting for a remake of Howard the Duck.

darthv721960d ago

^nothing disappointing about howard the duck. It is cheesy 80's goodness.

gangsta_red1960d ago

When you're right, you're right.

rainslacker1959d ago

@Gangsta

Wasn't there a rumor that they were looking at making another Howard the Duck? He had a cameo in GoTG2.

Love that movie for how bad it was. That and Garbage Pail Kids.

DrumBeat1959d ago

The Order was a fresh experience. Not the most compelling game, but I didn't want to put it down, and platted it. Good for what it was.

Quantum was something different as well, but a little less fun to actually play, imo. The 'acting' was done in a cheese factory too. Completed one path and never returned to it.

pietro12121960d ago (Edited 1960d ago )

FFXIV was already remade, and it's probably the beat thing Square has put out in years.

notachance1960d ago

yes, I was giving an example of disappointing games remade to be a great game

thorstein1960d ago

Every time sites need clicks. Just look at the obligatory: i wAnT cLIcKs tEh OrDer 1886 pIcTUrE.

JonathanHarris1959d ago

It's really not super often, but it does happen!

Mostly we see cult favorites come back around but in the recent case of Shaq-Fu we really saw a truly awful game see new life (not great life but at least new).

It's something I'd love to see a lot more of.

Thanks for reading my article!

NarutoFox1960d ago

Too Human yeah I remember that game smh😂

Inzo1960d ago

The Order has its faults yes but it had a fantastic atmosphere and some great gameplay. A game with enormous potential and far from disappointing. I say give Ready at Dawn another crack at it because I think they created an diamond with some rough edges that just needs some tlc.

Dreamcatcher451960d ago

Problem was the repetitive boss fights. I liked the gunplay, cover system and somewhat the story.

hulk_bash19871960d ago (Edited 1960d ago )

It did have fantastic atmosphere, I'll give you that. But gameplay pretty much played out like short gunfire segments interlaced with walking/sneaking + QTE events. Gameplay was the weakest point of The Order because RAD prioritized world building and graphical detail. Ut was disappointing because it didnt live up to the massive potential it haf. If they were given another shot at a sequel, I hope they can learn from their mistakes.

notachance1960d ago

gameplay was meh but the world had potential, in my ideal world it'd have Mass Effect kind of gameplay

Prubar1960d ago

I waited till The Order was discounted and went in with certain expectations and wasn’t disappointed. Just like Quantum Break. Great concept just needed a little extra meat on the bones.

rainslacker1959d ago

I had high hopes before it released. They were curbed some by the early previews, and while I found faults with the game, and it was obviously released unfinished, I still enjoyed it. The lore, acting, graphics, and world itself were excellent.

JonathanHarris1959d ago

I agree that it had some awesome atmosphere and the gameplay wasn't awful, but that potential is exactly why I put it on this list. I actually loved playing the game (same as some of the other games I put on this list such as Army of Two) But I would just love to see what could happen if it fulfilled some of that potential, ya know? Could have had the next incredible Sony franchise to rival God of War.

Thanks for reading my article!

TheEnigma3131960d ago

The order should have had a sequel. The first one wasn't bad just needed a few tweaks.

robtion1959d ago

I would love a sequel to The Order. It is still a great game.

Lair had a great concept and could be amazing with the current technology available. A Lair-like ps5 game could be incredible.

15 Worst PlayStation Exclusive Games of All Time

PlayStation’s strong and impressive lineup of exclusives is probably the biggest edge it has over its direct competition in the market- a fact that has been true for as long as anyone can remember.

Ridge racer for PSP was actually good and shouldn't be on this list. I think I'm the only one that enjoyed Haze.

Mr Pumblechook2247d ago

When GamingBolt have to dig up PS1 & PS2 games you know Sony is doing something right.

PygmelionHunter2247d ago

The list is about the worst Playstation exclusives games OF ALL TIME...

Why wouldn’t they include PS1 and PS2 games?

Prince_TFK2247d ago

That’s right, only PS4 games should be on the list of the worst Sony exclusive games of all time. /s

Dragonscale2247d ago

As much as I like PlayStation, there are plenty of stinkers just like on all platforms tbh.

hulk_bash19872247d ago (Edited 2247d ago )

Haha you completely missed or are willfully ignorant of the intent of this article. It clearly says worst PS Exclusive Games of All Time.

NonShinyGoose2247d ago

RR on Vita made the list, not the PSP version. RR on Vita was severely lacking content.

Knushwood Butt2247d ago

They tried something new and it failed.

The initial price point was low but a large amount of content was locked behing DLC

These days you often pay full price up front and get the same concept.

Darkwatchman2247d ago (Edited 2247d ago )

Didn’t the list just have ridge racer on Vita? Because the Vita ridge racer was a dumpster fire at $40 with next to no cars or tracks. It was such an incomplete experience. As the article states, it felt more like a full priced demo than an actual game. Psp ridge racer had so much more to it.

SierraGuy2246d ago (Edited 2246d ago )

All early ridge racers had next to no cars...game was great because of its graphics, controls, fun factor. Nothing could touch it on PS1.

Socom 4, I guess you could say that was an AWFUL/TERRIBLE Socom game. BUT it was an okay game if it didn't have the word Socom in the title.

thank you for the list. I believe he should listed PSVR titles as VR....

yeahright22247d ago

I love when people do this to sites that try to artificially up their clicks by forcing one click per entry. But I will say maybe let's leave off the first entry so they get the one click. Both so N4g gets whatever they're due for pushing traffic to their site and to send a message to the site that you only get one click.

Gaming_1st2247d ago

Well everybody should have gamingbolt blocked anyways.

Dragonscale2247d ago

Don't need to. I avoid it like the plague regardless lol.

Hardiman2247d ago

When certain sites have articles on here I just look at the comments.

FinalFantasyFanatic2246d ago

Sites are lucky if I click once or twice, half a dozen or more clicks is more effort than I'm willing for a list that may or may not suck.

I feel Knack or Ridge Racer shouldn't be on there.

Dragonscale2247d ago (Edited 2247d ago )

Maybe not knack but it's understandable, its not the best game tbh. Dunno bout ridge racer.

SierraGuy2246d ago

Ridge racer should never be on a worst list. FU gaming bolt crap.

Cant argue with Bravo Team, that game really did suck.

GBG_Jason2247d ago

Bless. I stopped after 1 because of it.

KwietStorm_BLM2247d ago

Have to say that is a pretty crappy list. I remember being so pissed with Twisted Metal 3 after TM2.
