No matter what the subject matter, everyone has had moments where they just know something to be right, even if it's not easily explained or put into words. And on that note - This Is Vegas, a game that could easily find itself being a smash hit if it plays its cards right (get it? Get it?!).
It's come out of leftfield. This Is Vegas had already been announced prior to Midway showing it off at its Gamers Day event but no-one really knew what it was. If you were being kind, you could call it another ambitious attempt at tackling the tricky open world genre by mixing some style in with the usual shoot/explore/car-jack antics. If you were being cruel, you could chalk it up as a sub-GTA set in Vegas and shrug your shoulders."
The games industry can be a cruel mistress. Here are 5 games we would like to see resurrected for current platforms
Console Monster writes: "Following the reveal of a major game, social-networking websites are buzzing with excitement, as gamers spend weeks, months, sometimes even years waiting for screenshots, interviews, teaser trailers and gameplay videos to trickle into the public before the game’s highly anticipated launch.
Unfortunately, not all video games that are announced see the light of day, despite months of rumours and speculation. Console Monster looks at ten video games that were cruelly taken away from us."
A Perfect Dark sequel (after PDZ).
Kameo 2 (but I always saw Kameo as similar to Starfox Adventures in style myself).
Conker's Other Bad Fur Day (Original Xbox had a remake of the original game and Xbox One now has the Project Spark adventure instead).
Donkey Kong Racing (as Rare were bought by Microsoft).
GameZone writes, "When looking forward, it’s hard to not also look back and imagine what some games would be like if they came out today. What about the ones that never came out at all? While the chances of any of the following games going back into development are slim-to-none, it’s exciting to consider how much better or more practical they would be today."
As soon as I read the title the first game that came to my mind was Starcraft: Ghosts.
"An AI partner hadn’t really been done right by that point"
lol sure, a little game from 2004 called Half-Life 2 says hi.
