What drought? February and March are packed with game releases

September to early December is when everything comes out, especially late October and early November. Publishers work hard to get their games on shelves for the Christmas gift shopping season, and there are nearly always far too many to even play, let alone buy.

Neonridr3826d ago

Sure there is a lot of games on the whole, but for each individual system there isn't a ton of software being released during these months.

However, a couple of these titles will be huge so they should do well to serve as a gap filler until more games arrive down the road.

CynicalKelly3826d ago

Which is why it pays off to have both systems for a gamer in the financial position to do so.

Having a 360, PS4 and Xbox One means I get South Park, Fable, Titanfall, Plants Versus Zombies, Outlast, Thief, Ground Zero and Infamous. It's going to be a good couple of months.

StaticGrazer3826d ago

Or you could have just gotten a pc and could have more games than you could possibly play in your entire life time...

TheDrunkenJester3826d ago

Add Dark Souls 2 to your list... good god I'm excited for the end of feb. And beginning of march. Good thing I'm one of the gamer's with a great job to afford these things, but my problem is having the time to play them like I want. Between work and a 4 month old I get (if I'm lucky) 2 hours to play games a day, usually less.

stragomccloud3826d ago

True. Good thing I'm a PC/multi platform gamer.

stragomccloud3825d ago

I fail to understand why someone would disagree with something like this. So... it's better to be a fanboy locked to one platform?

Snookies123826d ago (Edited 3826d ago )

March is like the biggest lineup of games I've wanted in years...

Blazblue, Dark Souls 2, Deception IV, Final Fantasy X HD, InFamous Second Son, MGS V GZ, South Park, and Witch and the Hundred Knights...

Dang... I need more money... *sits in the corner with my empty wallet*

CYCLEGAMER3826d ago (Edited 3826d ago )

I don't consider this a gaming drought for XB1 owners, reason being, the average person doesn't play more than 3 games at a time.

The xb1 launched with 4 exclusives, all mutltiplates and 5 downloadable titles. In March they get the MS exclusive Titanfall, all of the mutltiplates a new character and story mode for Killer instinct.

I am personally looking forward to Infamous second son though, but I feel like after I beat that, in a few days, there will be another drought until later in the year.

Edit: I guess if you only like shooters or a certain genre then yes this is a drought for you. However someone like me who finds enjoyement in all types of games, this is far from a gaming drought on the xb1 side.

They really need to

Go off the evil ending off Second Son

Delsin absorbs all those powers

Revealed he’s the real Beast and John in Infamous 2 was just an anomaly created by timelines being messed with by Kessler.

Cole vs the Real Beast

gold_drake8d ago

quite honestly, i dont remember a whole lot about 2 amymore, but i absolutely hated the guy in second son haha.

chicken_in_the_corn7d ago

It would make more sense to go off the evil ending of 2 and the good ending g of SS where Cole is The Beast.

Cacabunga6d ago

Doesnt make any sense calling second son 2 as infamous 3..

OtterX7d ago

Ha, yea Delsin was obnoxious.

I wouldn't mind another new character, but somehow bring Cole into the story.

We can just pretend like Delsin never existed. :)

thejigisup7d ago

Everyone that age is obnoxious. It's been years and is like to think delsin has grown

neutralgamer19927d ago

Until we wait for a potential new entry it would awesome to have infamous collection for PS5

RaidenBlack7d ago

Umm ... how about this?
First we get the Tushima sequel(coz its most rumored)
Then a new Resistance (need new PS SP FPS)
Then a totally new IP (new IPs are always interesting)
And then a new inFamous?

xHeavYx7d ago

Can we also get a complete remaster of InFamous 1 and 2?

fr0sty6d ago

Gimme a new Warhawk and MAG while we're at it.

DivineHand1257d ago

I had a great time with the second son. Never got to play the originals and hope they get remastered one day.

DazaMc7d ago

The graphics were amazing, I got the platinum on that one. Very good.

ChasterMies7d ago (Edited 7d ago )

If I had a choice between another Infamous game and another Spider-Man game, I choose Spider-Man. Sony should spend its resources on its winners.

Tacoboto7d ago (Edited 7d ago )

Infamous was such a winner its studio was given the freedom (after 3 titles + their expansions) to do a new IP with GoT, just like with Sly Cooper before infamous.

I'd welcome a 4th title even more than another Spider-Man, it'd be exciting what they could do with new powers fit for the hardware outside the limits of a licensed superhero game.

jznrpg7d ago

Spider-Man is guaranteed and is made by Insomniac so why not both as Sucker Punch would make Infamous.

Hidetaka Miyazaki claims Dark Souls 2 “carried” the series forward

Dark Souls 2 remains a divisive entry in the landmark RPG franchise, but Hidetaka Miyazaki believes it led to the success of Elden Ring.

The game isn't good though.

Rols151d ago

DS2 was fine. While there was a bit of recycling assets or ideas for bosses, it was a bigger more open Dark Souls. The Fume knight boss is one of the hardest bosses in the series until Sekiro and Elden Ring were released.

CrimsonWing69151d ago

The problem with Dark Souls 2 was the same problem when a different director takes over for a sequel to an outstanding movie. It typically (there are exceptions) doesn’t have the feel and vision of the previous movie.

I wouldn’t say Dark Souls 2 is terrible. Had Dark Souls 1 never been a thing and we got this, I think it would have been praised more. The problem is it didn’t have the Miyazaki touch to it and felt pretty derivative. The soundtrack is a banger though.

Aussiesummer151d ago

And it will happen in the future when he doesn’t touch them as he is planning on.

MrBaskerville151d ago

I like DS 2, might even be my favorite of the 3. But it's a hard sell, there's so many obscure things you need to do to make it an enjoyable experience. So always find it hard to recommend, but it is worth the trouble.
