Earlier this week, id Software announced a standalone prequel to Wolfenstein: The New Order called Wolfenstein: The Old Blood. What stuck out about the announcement was that the game would only be available on Xbox One, PlayStation 4, and PC, unlike The New Order, which was available cross-generation. Upon further research, this isn’t strange at all, and it’s actually a telling sign that last-gen systems are on the way out in a hurry.
Nintendo Switch games that haven't received patches are still getting performance and loading boosts across the board on Switch 2.

I would also add Risk of Rain 2 as long as you don't stray too far from a power source as each run can be long as the hours melt away. Another thing to note is that based on the reports, the FPS may drop into the 40s if a lot of enemies are on the screen.
There is also the Half Life series. If you haven't played half-life before then you can do so now at the super low price.
Mafia was amazing looking and had a great story. Played flawlessly at 30fps as well without dips 99% of the time.
The same is true for Jedi Fallen Order
Sony games as also on sale. Picked up Rachet and Clank, cant wait to try it!
The new Borderlands has been a huge flop, but it has caused the video games to see a boost in popularity following its release.
There have been some good adaptations recently though. I think the Gran Turismo movie is really good and The Last of Us and Fallout TV shows are great too.
If they're going to try, some of them are going to fall short. That's just inevitable. If anything we should encourage more effort so that they learn more about what makes some of these work, while others don't. Honestly I think Borderlands should have been a hit, but I think it would have been much better as an animated show akin to the League of Legends TV show on Netflix.
Yea but the good to bad ratio still leans more to the bad. All the ones you pointed out have been pretty great, can't wait for season 2 of all those shows. With that said, you can't "fall short" unless it's on purpose, in this case it's Borderlands. These characters, the world, the lore is/are fleshed out, there's a ton of source material, there are 7 games!
But BL3 is the worst one in the series....should do #2 and experience Handsome Jack
Nah. Tiny TIna's Wonderland is the worst in my opinion. I enjoyed 3 more than the "pre-sequel" and Tiny Tina's Wonderland.
Agreed, at least 3 felt like borderlands, gameplay was great, bosses were interesting. Wonderlands was just a turn in the wrong direction, the idea seemed great, but playing through the game just didn't feel like borderlands to me. Also dlc scam.
My issue with TTW is that it's supposedly a new IP in the Borderlands universe, not just a Borderlands game. Yet it plays and feels just like Borderlands with some magic tacked on. For every cool new idea there's a handful of ideas just rehashed from Borderlands. They really didn't do enough to make it feel like its own thing. It's still just an FPS with guns, except the guns are magical now. Why not focus instead on crazy melee weapons, bows, and magic/spells instead?
In terms of gameplay BL3 is the strongest in the series. It's the narrative that really lets that game down.
Eh...
The story is definitely worse but there's more to these games than that. Gameplay, loot, endgame and build variety is definitely better in 3. I think they did a great job with the game, some of the DLC is fantastic too.
I agree with people are saying. There's sole really good ideas in the games followed by some odd choices. I loved Bl2 , and I liked the presequel because it tries to explain Handsome Jack's downfall (YouTube game theory handsome jack).
Also PreSeq, has this really cool team play where talents could help pick your friends up from bleeding out. Athena throwing her shield if it bounces of a player they are picked up from dying. Head shots Aith the sniper chick etc.
BL3, I cannot get past the annoying social media influences, it's meant to be funny, it's just unbearable. Gameplay feels solid though. But I've not made it past lvl 20 ish on 3 tries. The story does not interest me, the classes are poor and talents feel bland.
i didnt like 3s sotry villains, like at all.
but i dont think any of the borderlands mainline games were "bad". i nejoyed all of them
but im not part of the community and play them mostly with my friends or alone.
there are worse games rly.
I totally forgot there was a movie coming out. I’m not a big fan of adaptations mainly because most of them suck and they take away from me playing video games. I didn’t get into Borderlands 3 game. 1 was my favorite 2 was pretty good but a third with more of the same didn’t interest me much to begin with.
We had a great 10 year run last gen but its time to move on to games that need more power and devs that dont have to worry about the 360 or PS3 ports.
i can't believe last gen has lasted this long. as soon as i got my PS4 my PS3 went to the pawn shop. once you play a PS4 theres no going back.
When I got my Xbox One, I still kept Xbox 360 for it's incredible online, fantastic game library, apps and generally to let my daughter play those great Lego games and free downloadable titles. The Xbox 360 makes an excellent secondary console (Going on 10 years). I do admit I have bought all new release on X1.
While I agree this is a good thing, and I own a PS4 with 10+ games already; publishers will still continue to support it for another year or 2 at least. Reason being is the install base on the previous generation to sell to more consumers is still high.
Both the PS3 and Xbox360 had a great 10 year run.
It's time for developers to put all effort into current gen so that future games are not gimped by cross gen downgrades.
I don't understand why EA is forcing a last gen port of Hardline for example. Yes the last gen install base is around 120 million but the majority of sales for advanced warfare were on PS4 and XboxOne.
