A surprisingly strong start to the year.
Square Enix and Platinum Games' action role-playing game, Nier Automata, has nearly reached sales of 10 million units worldwide.
I have it for Switch, (Nier Automata The End of YoRHa Edition) amazing game.
According to a former PlayStation boss, NieR: Automata revived the Japanese gaming industry, which was just following trends before it.
im not sure if they "saved" it, but Taro definitely shook things up with the story telling that hes so infamous for.
especially in times when free to play model was at its peak in gaming.
I never really felt that way, but I really enjoyed NieR: Automata, I made sure to get all the endings.
I’m not sure about that but it was good to have and hope we get more games from Yoko Taro that aren’t mobile
Sony is hosting its press conference at the start of CES 2025 in Las Vegas. As usual, PlayStation took the spotlight during the presentation, but not in the way you'd expect.
I was about to say, they can just copy Starship Troopers homework and change it up a bit so the teacher won't notice.
Yet let's ignore Ghost of Yotei, Intergalactic, wolverine and Santa Monica's New IP.
Yep all TV shows and remasters alright.....
Ghost of Yotei looks like a ps 4 pro game at best, intergalactic only showed 4 seconds of in game footage, despite being in development for more than 4 years, wolverine might be good, Santa Monica's New IP was just for you to fill space and cover for sonys lack of 1st party games.
Remasters aren't games?
Didn't realize the same folks making games are also making films and shows (which Sony actually has been making before games, but ok).
Silly comment aside , Ghost of Tsushima as an anime sounds grand. Don't care too much about Horizon or Helldivers media, but it sounds cool to get more Jin.
You do realize Sony has a completely separate movies and tv series division right? They are simply catching on and actually taking advantage of their popular gaming ips
Naaaaa, you are supposed to pretend they don't have a completely separate movie/TV division
@Here uh huh Right watch Ghost Of Yotei get the highest score on meta this year. ND doesn't miss so I expect Intergalactic to be a damn near Master piece, insomniac making Wolverine so you know they'll knock it out of the park. Santa Monica will probably announce their new IP this year and it'll be epic. It's about track record and all these studios have great track records. You wanna argue facts go ahead I'll win.
out of all the titles they could have chosen, those 3 could actually make decent movies.
They’ve tried a Horizon series and it fell apart, what makes them think a film is going to work with a shorter run time.
I was hoping the GoT series would focus on Jinn after the main game.
Im not sure about the show or why it allegedly fell apart, but the story in Horizon is pretty cool. I can see people enjoying it.
they probably recorded some footage for it and now want to make a quick buck out of the remnants. You know what they say: fail once, rip your audience off.
Here's the games I've played so far and how I rank them...
1. Persona 5- My first in the series and it's the best JRPG I've played in a long long time. Truly a masterpiece.
2. HZD- What a first step for GG, venturing into uncharted territory and totally nailing it. I look forward to Horizon becoming a franchise.
3. Nioh- My first souls type game and I really enjoyed it, haven't gotten around to beating it yet but it's a game I wouldn't mind coming back to.
4. Resident Evil 7- Best Resi since 4 imo, survival horror returned in this installment and right now it's my biggest surprise of 2017.
5. NieR Automata- Didn't like it as much as I thought i would, but the combat is some of the best I've played this gen. Too bad I didn't enjoy the open world, story, or side quests at all.
6. For Honor- Typical Ubi game, MP is the focal point and they managed to throw together a BS campaign to keep the consumer quiet. Cant say I was disappointed cause I was expecting it, especially since they didn't show a single minute of campaign footage prior to release.
7. MEA- My favorite franchise ever, and now my biggest disappointment ever! It's not just the facial animations or bugs, the game just lacks substance imo. It's not fun to play and what I enjoyed in previous games (dialogue, exploring, story) I didn't find enjoyable in Andromeda. Once I found out a different studio was making this game, something told me it wasn't going to be the same.
-Horizon Zero Dawn
-Persona 5
-Resident Evil 7
-Nioh
-Gravity Rush 2
5 games i bought so far in 2017 and they are all excellent. Looking foward to the rest of the year.
Like I stated before, I haven't played anything this year besides Mirror's Edge: Catalyst and Rise of the Tomb Raider. Next month I'll start with Mass Effect: Andromeda followed by Prey, Horizon: Zero Dawn and Resident Evil VII.
