More often that not, developers use DLC, especially story-centric DLC, as an opportunity to experiment with and expand their games. It helps to look at two recent open-world games – Fallout 4 and The Witcher 3 – that use DLC to explore new worlds and stories.
Playdead co-founder Dino Patti is allegedly being sued by his former studio and business partner.
Patti was threatened with a lawsuit earlier this year after he posted a now-deleted LinkedIn post that shared an "unauthorized" picture of co-founder Arnt Jensen and discussed some of Limbo's development. Patti said Jensen demanded a little over $73,000 in "suitable compensation and reimbursement," adding that he had "repeatedly" had such letters over the last nine years.
Amid rumors it was looking to sell Eve Online developer CCP Games, Pearl Abyss has given a statement to Insider Gaming.
Get ready for Blood Message, a game that combines stunning visuals and compelling storytelling from NetEase Games and 24 Entertainment.
Truly amazing!
Draws inspiration clearly draws gameplay inspiration from Assassins Creed and action cinematics from Uncharted!
Powered by UE5!
Definitely on my radar!
Eastern devs are putting in that work this gen. The quality of their games have been top-notch across the board. Looking forward to seeing more of this game in action.
Other devs need to take notes and step their game up, figuratively and literally.
Probably because this trailer wasn´t ready yet.
I doubt the developers would miss the opportunity to reveal their games to millions of gamers on four major events like Summer Game Fest, Future Games Show, State of Play or Xbox Showcase on purpose.
not everything needs to be at SGF. and judging by the reaction and the amount of views the trailer has already garnered, it didn't really need to be there.
If Geoff wants rules on his showcases he needs to get these types of games SGF is largely seen as a borefest each year. Maybe he needs to go out and get these types s of games. Plus Net ease doesn't need SGF but SGF needs this game.
This feels like 90% stolen from Uncharted and the guy is also falling or almost falling to often down. Nah this is to much show, something is strange here.
It does look like it could be staged or the combat might be like hellblade, but i have hope the devs made naraka battle royal game.
Ryse had staged area like combat. So did Hell Blade. Linear story based games do this. It's very cinematic like gameplay. The game did remind me of Ryse, how Ryse would of looked if they had a sequel of sorts.
It's always great when developers opt to expand the stories and lore of their games through DLC expansions. Just wish we saw it more often, but obviously it's a time and cost intensive thing to do within reason. Great article!
Awesome piece! I really enjoyed the DLC offerings for Fallout 4. Far Harbor was really cool, I liked how different the atmosphere was from the main game. Nuka World has been fun but it really hasn't grabbed me in the same way. I've got a real soft spot for the DLC in Fallout 3 though! They were all so weird and extra sci-fi! I've always wanted to give The Witcher 3 a try and now that there's the ultimate edition I'll be able to snag all that awesome DLC with it!
I really would like to see Uncharted explore some non-combat DLC.
I feel like the weakest DLCs are the one's that don't expand on the main game, but resolve it. Witcher and Fallout are good examples of great DLC because their main game's endings are just nice and tie everything together. An example of this NOT happening that we can agree on is The Evil Within. Great game, real kick in the balls when we realized we sort of had to get the DLC to know what was up (aka like 30ish more dollars or something). A weird middle ground comes in with Bioshock Infinite, which had a strange-yet-satisfying ending. I heard the DLC for that game just like blows your mind because it resolves the story of 1 and Infinite in ways you didn't know existed. I'm waiting to finish 1 before I play through Infinite (again) and then play those DLCs. Great article by the way, really got to a good point we don't think about in that open world games offer a different sort of excitement in the DLC.
