I've watched the trailer loads of times, when the oldskool Silent Hill theme starts playing at the end my body is consumed with goosebumps

Best news of the Gamescom

Without doubt. I was blown away with the cleverness of the reveal too. To keep a project this big under wraps so effectively, and then use an awesome playable teaser to unleash its existence, was absolutely phenomenal.

best video game reveal of all time if you ask me

jujubee883580d ago

It's pretty funny that it went viral on Twitch and Youtube; considering the fact that Kojima just wanted people to slowly share info and conquer the teaser 'over the span of days or weeks'.

It's the age of the internet and sharing game experiences, so you know that wasn't going to happen. But, while the puzzle got solved early, there's still a lot of good entertainment in the form of reaction videos and even unearthing new parts of the easter eggs in the thing. :)

After playing "PT", "Rise Of The who?"

I loved the first person system so much in the demo... not sure how I would feel about third-person now. :|

JackOfAllBlades3580d ago

It'll be fine, go play some of the older Silent Hill games and you'll see that it works

jujubee883580d ago (Edited 3580d ago )

I have. Even just playing the old SH on the PSP I found I got into it fine.

But it's not just that. I want the mystery and immersed feel that comes with a first person view as well.

Don't get me wrong, for third person it really is the way to go for action sequences but if you see or play the demo you immediately see and feel the difference in immersion from a first person view.

Dannycr3580d ago

Play Silent Hill 4: The Room. It has a similar mechanic. I wish this game is a mix of both and that the first person sections can be played with Oculus or Morpheus for maximum effect!

Palitera3580d ago

More likely to blow my heart.

Seriously, this teaser is already dangerous.

"Tommy saving the planet from an army of aliens after they abducted him and his entire bar, with the game ending on the promise that Tommy would be back, but that promise was never fulfilled"

The thing is with the original Prey 2 that Tommy wasn't even the main character, they replaced him with some generic looking space bounty hunter. It was a refreshing change to see an awesome Native American character with ancestral like powers fight aliens yet they ditched him. It was only after an outcry they showed much later in a new preview that Tommy was in the game as an NPC.

I'd have prefered a real sequel with Tommy as the main character, literally picking right up from the originals ending.

As for Eight Days...Sony really needs to pick this up

If Amy Hennig was still at ND, I'd have loved to see her tackle it after what she did with Uncharted.

isarai87d ago (Edited 87d ago )

I thought that was awesome too, and honestly i wish people werent so damn critical about cultural variety in games. I feel like people try to ruin devs lives if even one detail is off about their culture in a game and so everyone is too scared to try anymore

isarai87d ago (Edited 87d ago )

One of the lead engine programmers for Prey 2 at Human Head was my programming instructor when i was taking game design. This game was in limbo at the time and we asked once and only once about this game, the misery in his eyes when he told us "this is the 1st and only time ill ask you to never ask me about that game" was something ill never forget😅 he used a couple assets through the curriculum for teaching purposes but nothing very tangible. Just a function here, a 3d prop there. Such a shame. Years later i saw him at a magic tournament, we caught up and he still thinks about that game and how it's "practically done" probably sitting on a drive somewhere

shinoff218387d ago (Edited 87d ago )

Practically done? Jeez that fking blows because that looked much more interesting then what bethsada made. Don't get me wrong I enjoyed the one bethsada made.

Lmno looked interesting.
I'd knock titanfall and fez off the list. Add something else. Scarface 2 man only if would've been awesome. Prey 2 should be higher to. Either way not a bad list. Out of 20 there's only 2 I'd hate on.

isarai87d ago

That gen got a lot of games canned right before the finish line. Cipher Complex, Battlefront 3, legacy of kain dead sun just to name a few

XiNatsuDragnel87d ago

Games that need to come out: Battlefront 3, 8 days, and timesplitter 4.

Skuletor85d ago

One that's not on the list is Killing Day, I remember seeing the trailer in 2005 and being impressed at the time. Being Ubisoft you know it would have been a AAAA game too, lol
2 Days to Vegas and The Getaway 3 are two other games that seemed promising but never came out.

The orginal prey 2 better be on this list.

And it is. Man if could've got this instead. Wonder why no one's step up to do this kinda game yet. I think there's one in development for pc, it's cyberpunk Era but it takes place in some huge apartment complex I think. Anyway I'm saying this not knocking the prey that came out cause I did enjoy that to but really wanted prey 2 (canceled)

Skuletor109d ago

I wonder if they never happened because they were cancelled 🤔 (stupid headline)

Rockstar109d ago

Was just thinking the same thing...
