Dustin from LVL4Gaming brings us his retro game of the week.
GF365: "Here are eight games that need sequels. These games are ones that players would love to experience another time, bigger and better."
Bloodborne is a game I still restart and play every few months. I would welcome just a re release in 60fps with a visual upgrade. It's a perfect game. If I was king for a day I would include the randomizer mods because then it would be a kind of rogue like and I could play it forever.
thatHITBOX: We reveal behind the scenes info on the production of Criterion's Black, including plans for its cancelled sequel.
Would love to see a Black 2. This game was incredible when it came out. Played it a lot and enjoyed it immensely.
Bodycount was sort of a spiritual successor to Black, but nowhere near as good. I liked Black, but it was hard. I never managed to beat it.
Polygon: Game designers face a great challenge: How can they demonstrate that a player’s basic actions are meaningful?
The developers of a game have to reinforce why each action is important, especially if I’m going to be repeating it thousands of times across the campaign. This is true whether I’m picking a flower or pulling the trigger of a gun.
It’s worth revisiting Black.
So glad someone took the time to revisit this absolute gem of FPS...this game blew my face off back in the day. The enemy behavior, sound design, particle effects and general atmosphere was something short of a revelation at the time. This is perhaps my second favorite FPS title of all time and a close 2nd to Killzone 2.
To this day that game is more satisfying than most FPSs out there. Still blown away by the way it handled explosions and they their effectiveness is actually affected by rather they are indoors or outdoors (more lethal in enclosed spaces) and that if it's thrown into a small room with doors/windows the pressure wave will actually cause all windows and doors in that room to break and the explosion would actually expand out those openings
Black is Retro!? Man, thanks for making me feel old....
My sister knows about that game.
One of my favourite games ever!
