During a panel at PAX East CD Projekt RED Senior Game Designer Damien Monnier explained how working on current generation platforms (Xbox One, PS4 and PC) allowed the studio to do things that weren’t possible before.
RPGs are often huge, sprawling endeavours. With limited playtime, we have to choose wisely, so here's the best western RPGs available today.
"I started playing games yesterday" the List... Meh!
How about a few RPGs that deserve some love instead?
1 - Alpha Protocol - Now on GOG
2 - else Heart.Break()
3 - Shadowrun Trilogy
4 - Wasteland 2
5 - UnderRail
6 - Tyranny
7 - Torment: Tides of Numenera
And for a bonus game that flew under the radar:
8 - Banishers: Ghosts of New Eden
Given the medium's wild diversity, this primer of the essential video games everyone should try is a good place to start.
I can't fk with this list. They missed on alot of games probably before the writers times. Also I know people loved some portal but I was never a fan.
Tomb Raider 1
Driver 1
Abe’s Odyssey
FF6
King of Fighters 94
Mortal Kombat OG
LINK 2 the past
Street Fighter 2
Resident Evil 1
Infinite but not the first two games? Witcher 3 but not the first two games?? GTA V but not literally any of the games before it??? Portal 2 but not the first? Also if you're going to play Shadow of The Colossus play the remaster and not the remake. Can't say I disagree with the list but my man it's all over the place.
Awesome list! Hot take on Fear (and it's hard af expansion Persaus Mandate!) Bioshock Infinite is stellar, so is the Witcher 3 and you nailed it by having Ocarina of Time. So many fantastic games! Gotta play 'em all! Next one on my list is Prey after I beat Dead Space 2 and Splinter Cell Conviction.
Wealth of Geeks explores some of the best gaming romances that have stolen our hearts over the years.
The game sounds amazing. I cant wait to get my hands on it.
I love dynamic random encounters in open world games, it's what really makes you want to explore the game world.
By all accounts it's looking like this game is going to take the open world RPG crown from Bethesda. Speaking of Bethesda - any more news of their coming announcement?
"working on current generation platforms (Xbox One, PS4 and PC) allowed the studio to do things that weren’t possible before."
They were possible before but just on PC.
"Not possible before"
Just let me remind you of BF:BC2 (2010)...
Anyone got a link showing destruction and AI?
PS
And BF:BC2 does even have multi player so you need to share state among several consoles...
the witcher 3 will be an immense game i dont even doubt that, and CDP are a dev team a lot of other devs could learn a thing or two from, but id like a witcher set in the future after this game, i have had my fill of orcs and dragons, and regardless of how unpopular my opinion is there most likely will be a few who share my issue, now i want to slay some cyborgs
