Sony won't stop insomniac but I don't know if at this time insomniac wants to revisit this IP. Our best hope is a remastered version of the first game with all the content and improvements/tweaks
IG could quickly whip up a version that takes advantage of the DS controller and 4K/60 performance of the PS5. Then hit everyone with a full on part 2 that we have been waiting for. IG had the sequel all planned out.
Insomniac owns the IP and sony owns insomniac. Also this way sony can get real data on what's the interest level around this IP since it didn't do well on xbox
MS published it but the IP still owned by Insomniac and now ironically Sony's. I said "ironically" because they went to Xbox because they wanted the IP ownership as they don't get that with PS, but in the end, Sony bought them and the SSoD IP too.
The things that pissed me the most about Quantum Break is on how the media already had their opinion about trashing the game instead of reviewing it. The worst offender was Peter North from Gamespot that basically trash the game then proceed to praise Control as one of the best game. The funny thing was that the same flaws he saw in QB became great strengths in Control. ( The broken fighting mechanics became great, collecting stuff now fun, the arena fight a joy).
GoT aside, If anything I'd say those were overrated titles that recived more praise than deserved just because they're were hyped up exclusives. I mean have you even played Ryse? Apart from the graphics there isn't anything good about it.
I loved the order... but it was not underrated. The gameplay needed more life and diversity via what was offered. Huge potential with little effort to correct,,but the game deserved the low scores.
I want a sequel very badly... but you still have to call out the issues to take it to the next level.
The critics decided that it was thrash the moment they saw the game. " Another generic white male protagonist" " Do we need another Zombie game" " Another open world game set in a apocalyptic era"
I remember saying multiple times before the reviews that the game would score an average 6-7 because the media already decided that it was trash in a similar way to Quantum Break.
Days Gone is friggin awesome. I did every single thing possible in that game and I'm waiting eagerly for the sequel. Does that answer your question numb nuts?
That was not the reason... the height of the release was drowned out by Microsoft’s plummet in the market. They lost 50% and paid for it to be exclusive... cool, they needed it, but it is the same as titanfall’s failure and other Xbox one games at the time.
For me it was Death Stranding. I know we're all expected to preface this sort of comment with "it's not for everyone", as if any game is, but for me it was very unique and compelling, I loved all the subtext and narrative cues, plus is was absolutely gorgeous visually.
No doubt. I have a list of underrated games. Mad Max, Vampyr, ME:Andromeda, and others. But probably the top of my list is Rebel Galaxy. Best space battle game I've played in a long time and top notch soundtrack.
Yeah, Rebel Galaxy somehow nailed it. The "prequel" is not that good. It is ok, but Rebel Galaxy was about those big spaceships and not small fighters. Also the "2D" Space took much complexity out of the space navigation, which I really appreciated made it much easier to find stuff etc. Sadly the game never got a pro/x patch. Not even the "prequel".
"Sunset Overdrive is the most underrated game of the generation, but whose fault is that?
The game had good coverage and reviews, but did not sell all that well on the platform it was released on. As much as people in various comment sections talked the game up, not enough went out and actually bought the game for it to be a success, imo ofc.
Conversely, Days Gone was ripped apart by game reviewers, but sold well because gamers ignored reviews and actually went out and bought the game. Even the hold outs that at the time bought into what was being written about the game eventually reversed their opinion once they played the game.
Over the years, I never saw an upswing in buy opinion for Sunset Overdrive, only Froza Horizon, Ori, and Cuphead was ever mentioned favorably and considered must haves. The community should have done more to support the game.
It had more success in the 2nd hand market than initially at retail. It was also free on GwG.
Despite its sales, that doesnt take away from it being a really fun and under appreciated (better term) game. It's the office space of video games (cult classic over time despite not being a box office smash initially)
Quantum break was another one that was panned by critics but those who gave it a go actually find it quite enjoyable. sometimes you just have to find out for yourself if reviewers are right or wrong.
I agree, but the second hand market does not do the game any justice. Poor sales from retail caused MS to not see a reason to fund a sequel.
I'm not trying to take away from the game being fun, because who bought enjoyed what they played. The ones who didn't buy it missed out on a good game and weren't appreciative.
Quantum Break I can't speak on because the only things most said about the game was the live action movie like cut scenes, and something about missing animation for gun reload.
I may pick up a Series S in a few years to give some MS exclusives a try, or once the price comes down a hundred dollars. I'm interested to see what Gamepass has to offer.
Yes you have to make your own decisions and not let reviewers sway your opinion for every game.
Is it though? I played it when it came to PC 2 years ago, and literally nothing about it grabbed me. This was actually a huge shock as I expected to love it like most Insomniac games I play.
Most underrated game last gen might be the amazing Driveclub, considering how Sony killed the studio that made.it, removed the game from its store, and even took down the leaderboards.
One of the biggest crimes against gaming this generation.
Color me one the few but I found the game ok but nothing major or spectacular. Like I hate the fact that you can't restart a game from the beginning (or if the case, only when you have completed it). The story is pretty average and I have yet to remember a defining mission or side mission. Actually what I remember the most about this game are the respawn animation that made me laugh (The phone booth and the TMNT drill).
Personally I disagree. I played a few hours and found it quite boring and uninspired. I'm really hoping Insomniac don't waste their time with this IP on PlayStation.
As someone who bought the game I would say it had a slow start, I even got bored and put it down for awhile. When I picked it back up just to finish it it got better and better. It had solid reviews, it just not held in high regard cause....reasons. I tip my hat to it, it's the o ky game ever to make me lol. However I've never played stick of truth or fractured but whole. South Park always crack me up so I'm sure the game would.
I’m going to have to disagree with that assessment. Would you like me to produce a list of games from last gen that are excellent in their own right and sold less/are less talked about than Sunset Overdrive? I’m speaking rhetorically because that would take far too long. Sure, I’ll agree that it’s underrated. Most underrated game of the generation though? Nah.
still waiting for this to one day come to a PlayStation console
Most underrated ?? ...have you heard the Last Guardian and Gravity Rush 2
I did like it, but for me the most underrated game of last gen is probably The Order 1886.
I really enjoyed it. I am disappointed it hasn't had a sequel.
Most underrated is Days Gone. Well... at least most underrated by critics. PS fans love it
