"When it comes to wrestling games, it is difficult sometimes not to be alarmist or a bit heavy-handed when it comes to talking about them. Maybe that just comes with the territory as the genre at one time was chock-full of quality titles (involving a lot of importing, mind you) to only having very few options to choose from." | Explosion.com
PAX EAST has officially confirmed that Blizzard and 2K Games are amongst the bigger names attending the show. This would be two of the bigger names to return to live U.S. shows since the Covid Pandemic.
Good to hear. Past couple of years the show floor is getting smaller & smaller, with more space everywhere. Food truck trucks made their way on to the expo hall floor last year. Haven't seen that since 2012.
We stopped going to PAX West and let local team cover it. We could not justify airfare, rental car, food, hotel, etc for indies.
Shaz from Pixel Swish: "The Mafia games have always excelled in storytelling and voice acting. Though Mafia 3 faltered in some gameplay aspects, its story and, particularly, voice acting are tremendous."
Mafia III had a great narrative and some truly incredible performances. The gameplay loop had its issues but the story, acting, world and atmosphere don't get nearly enough credit.
I loved the story elements butbfirnme the gameplay loop went behind issues it was utterly dull and it's structure was it's downfall.
Go to area of map disrupt business through open world shenanigans that feel extremely rinse and repeat many times until cutscenes and boss fight then repeat again
They had so much potential especially in the CIA angle but it was squandered.
I wish they could do it over and focus on the narrative like a more traditional GTA game
First few hours: "This game is incredible!"
Hour 10: "Wait, that's it? I'm going to be doing the same thing over and over for the rest of the game??"
As of November 25, the 2K launcher is no longer required in any 2K published games on either Steam of Epic Games Store.
Much like Bethesda’s & Paradox’s, I never understood even the notion that these launchers should be required. Even from their own business perspective I could never even imagine someone purchasing a game through them and not being recognised as a hinderance more than anything else.
Yeah who knows who might get the WWE license . off topic- CM Punk is gonna give the rock knees 2 faces!
I personally believe 2K will raise the bar on WWE games and might have pushed whoever else that bid on WWE games into seeking the TNA license. So its not really a bad thing to see this happen if we see some competition again. That is my hope anyway.
I do wonder if WWE 14 will show up in 2013. If so we might see Yuke's developing it, but WWE 15 could be entirely different and without Yukes. It should be interesting to see what happens.
EA or 2k should make next wwe games
Give it too Sony, San Diego
Just saying
EA MMA got largely panned @dvewish. They are NOT good at making MMA games and they better hope that THQ lets them borrow their engine for their next UFC game or they are going to tank it just like they did with their own MMA game.
