The Biggest Surprises of 2013

IGN - "2013 was a massive year for video game news. But certain stories, like the launch of two high-end next-gen consoles, didn't exactly catch us off-guard. So which 2013 video game developments actually surprised us more than anything else? Now there's a more interesting question."

BelkingOfSony3771d ago

Biggest surprise was how badly Microsoft messed up their xbox one reveal (not trolling)

Mister_Dawg3771d ago

While Sony totally blew their load at the reveal and bored to tears at E3.

MasterCornholio3771d ago

And when Phil Spencer announced the price.

We all know what the reaction was..,.....?

ChickenOfTheCaveMan3771d ago (Edited 3771d ago )

I still remember that montage that was all about the many times they repeated TV, Call of Duty and sports.

That reveal was baaaad.

MasterCornholio3771d ago

And dont forget the water cooler.

ROFL

iamnsuperman3771d ago

I think the 2DS has to top this list. That thing came out of nowhere. I think it caught journalists by surprise.

Majin-vegeta3771d ago

For me was this.I actually cried when i saw it.Been waiting years for it.

The PS4's cheap price tag and that it would allow used games.

chrissx3771d ago (Edited 3771d ago )

I remember 1st hearing all the rumors about xbone always being online and all restrictions,and thought it was a joke. My biggest suprise was how all the negative rumors about M$ came true. Not to mention that horror reveal. was just ridiculous

Double_O_Revan3771d ago

Agreed. The reversal was shocking enough, but I was blown away that all the rumors were true and they were actually crazy enough to come up with such a plan.

The Last Of Us Series Has Remarkable Potential For Spin-Offs

Najam from eXputer writes "It's time fore a new installment in the series, not another pointless remaster."

anast82d ago

They are working on something new. Not to be rude but it is impossibility stupid to think ND next major announcement is going to be a remaster or their next Last of Us entry is going to be another remaster.

AlterRecs79d ago

I think this is in response to them releasing a remaster for the sequel, a game that didn't need a remaster.

Basically a "why did you put out a remaster no one asked for when you have all there options available"

anast79d ago

They remaster is to put out something quick while they are deving new stuff. I don't get how people can be so static.

AlterRecs78d ago

There's no news about a third game being in production, you're just assuming that they're working on something that they aren't

anast78d ago

When they release the news to start the hype-train, you can give me my props then.

DrDoomer82d ago

I want an alternate timeline spin-off, where part 2 never happened.

CrimsonWing6982d ago

They’ve already done Remasters of 1 and 2… what else is there to Remaster?

AlterRecs79d ago

Considering they remastered the first game twice, who knows lol

CrimsonWing6979d ago

That was a Remake. I guess they could do that to 2, but man…. They should wait a couple generations so it can look like a major upgrade.

The Last Of Us Online Devs Celebrate Their Experience With The Canceled Game

The team is sad for losing out on such a great project but celebrates its growth because of spending time on it.

Chocoburger127d ago

All they had to do was make a basic online mode like their previous games. Instead they wanted more money and choose to go live service which makes games worse in my opinion.

What a waste of time and money, what a shame.

seanpitt2382d ago

I can't wait for season 2 so they can kill Joel off in the first 2 episodes!! Then it will be just Abby and Ellies revenge plot!

Something is telling me that this won't happen though because it wouldn't make sense, oh wait

Linzoid127d ago

Not sure why they didn’t just make Factions 2. There was no need to make it a live service.

TLoU Factions was a great addition such a shame they couldn’t be bothered to remaster that for PS5 considering the crazy high price tag of the remaster of a remaster…

anast126d ago

This is something to be celebrated. This studio is smart and they get it, even factions 2 wouldn't've have been worth the time. I am surprised they didn't just remaster the first one though, but actually how popular was Factions?
