Pretty decent list. I'm a sony slave. Deal with it. But I own (and love) a wiiu. I totally agree with this list. Xenoblades Chronicles X has a magnificent, beautiful world! <3

I own a WiiU as well and love it still have not played Xenoblade, looks awesome though am def. going to pick it up sometime.

BrettAwesome3334d ago

I really believe that game is a true testament to the real power of the wiiu. And it says alot about how far devs can potentially take something like the ps4. Xenoblade on ps4 would look a-mazing :-P

AndrewLB3334d ago

The first Xenoblade on Wii was an incredible game, and while I have not played Chronicles X... for some reason it just doesn't look interesting. The first games characters and story were truly captivating, while in Chronicles X they just seem lifeless.

"while I have not played Chronicles X"

Well then I cant take ur judgement seriously at all.

I don't think anything comes close to GTA V, for me anyway. The attention to detail in Los Santos is mind boggling. Even when going to the bottom of the ocean.

nowitzki20043335d ago

It is amazing. Way too hard for me to pick one. They are all unique in their own way.

XCX world is like the world in Avatar (giant smurf one)

Funny how they show a quick clip from the game that created the open world rpg genre, Ultima 7: The Black Gate. It was the first game to completely remove the guiding hand of linearity, allowing the player the ability to go do whatever they wanted. It also introduced real day/night cycles and EVERY SINGLE NPC had fully programmed daily routines (waking up, going to work, shopping, farming, boozing at the bar, etc) which brought a depth to the world never before seen. The game map was huge, had zero loading screens, and every action you took changed the game. Modern games may promise this, rarely if ever achieve it. Yea, the game was released in 1990 so its beyond dated, but the story was amazing and definitely one of the best RPGs i've ever played.

Marathon Development Update

Marathon was slated to launch on Sept. 23, 2025 across Xbox, PC, and PlayStation, but Bungie will share the new release date in the fall.

Jin_Sakai2d ago

Probably best just cancel it. The game has flop written all over it.

-Foxtrot2d ago

Yeah, you can delay it as much as you want but you ain’t gonna wash that stink off.

Killer2020UK2d ago

It will lessen though and possibly make all the difference if it launches in a state that rectified a lot of the issues people had with it. A LOT of ifs of course.

RaidenBlack2d ago

If you really gotta play ... play the better extraction shooter this year : ARC Raiders

ZeekQuattro2d ago

Delaying the inevitable. Bungie hoping the negative publicity will blow over. 🙄

darthv722d ago

They can't cancel it until a themed controller has been released first... like concord.

ZeekQuattro2d ago

I anxiously wait for that and a Marathon Secret Level episode.

GamingManiac2d ago

$10 says it'll have the stolen artwork on it lolol

dveio2d ago

If they were absolutely certain about the quality of Marathon, then they had not delayed it just now.

So they've basically just confirmed what everyone, well, a lot of people saw: Marathon is not ready yet, still no soul to be seen.

Tacoboto2d ago

"Doubling down on the Marathon Universe"

They're doubling down on soul, thank goodness this feedback illuminated that for them...

RaidenBlack2d ago

and N4G was littered with comments like : Marathon looks really good, maybe you're a hater and the likes blah blah ... especially under articles which compared it with Arc Raiders ....
