Tekken 8, Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League, and Persona 3 Reload debuted among the month's top-sellers.
Hanzala from eXputer: "As if being a vain live service wasn't enough, Rocksteady's Suicide Squad continues to ruin iconic characters, and I've had enough of it."
To this day I can't believe this is the same studio the brought us those fantastic batman games. The arkham trilogy
Say it was some multiverse bullshit and make a new Batman game in the “real” timeline and let’s forget this!
Tekken's fierce old man, Heihachi Mishima, is back with a vengeance in Tekken 8. However, his return seems to be a forced move, which breaks the story beats established in Tekken 7.
When did Tekken ever make any sense? That's why we love it. Come on now. Mokujin? Roger? Kuma? Panda? Gon? Alex? Jack? Demon characters? Death, life, death and life again? Azazel?
Heihachi coming back ain't no thang but a chicken wang. Was probably hanging out at the ghost bar with Bison having drinks. Seems they must have run up a tab and need to make some tournament money to pay it off. Because they're both coming back to their respective games.
exactly, fighting games for me don't require a story or explanation why a certain character is in the game. If they manage to make a cool story, it's just a bonuns but there's no way that should prevent fan favs from rejoining
It is anogher example that proves that company have no balls to actually end people or stories
Fr, like if Nintendo killed off Link and you played the next legend of Zelda game as someone else. That would take balls and would definitely make the game better.
That would require breaking the cycle of reincarnation, though.
Not sure how they'd pull that off. Link, Zelda, and Demise are tied together by fate, across lifetimes.
Bunch of tekken characters have died (from what we know) and even if they are dead in the lore u can still bring them as playable characters.
It's Tekken. The story never made sense. What we can rely on is that every character that gets thrown off a cliff or into a volcano never actually dies.
Why it matters: The genre has stagnated and settled because video game budgets have risen to astronomical levels. Therefore, developers play it safe, with creativity and innovation suffering at the end of the day.
Most gaming genres are creatively lacking at this point. Publishers want to make 'safe games' that are based on previously successful games with little risk.
Today the executives and marketers have too much control over which games are made. 'Corporate games' are an immediate turn off for me, they are a waste of money, but more importantly, my time.
I hate how shareholders or whatever make the decisions more than the developers. They should go back to the time when developers made the game they wanted to make, when it wasn't just based on quotas and all that other business jargon.
“Marvel’s Avengers”, “Gotham Knights”, and “Sucidie Squad: Kill the Justice League” all suffered from prioritizing micro-transactions over gameplay. Those online stores had very creative skins to sell you.
It's funny cause I been playing gotham knights and really enjoying it for what it is I'm glad it's not really bad like suicide squad, if they released a couple more updates for the game it woulda turned out even better but the mfs just gave up
This could be said about AAA gaming as a whole but I'll just stick to this topic. I thinkk a great way to spice up super hero games would be to link up with the japanese developers. Many cool games could come out of this. A deadpool game from team ninja, wolverine/xmen 97 game from capcom, Cable game from Platinum, Invincible fighitng game from arcsys, batman or red hood game from RGG. Giving these very popular IP games with the crazy fast paced combat japanese devs are known for sounds like a great idea to me. Just look at what capcom gave us with the marvel VS games and what Platinum did with transformers devastation
Very hard to screw up a comic book game seeing how these fictional characters are filled with creativity.
That's why I hope we get another infamous game, they stayed true to the roots all 3 games. Most devs nowadays are afraid to offend grown ass people who barely even know what right buttons to press while trying to play a certain game lmfao. Risks were taken when making Gow2018&ragnarok, spiderman 2018 and the sequel. Also risks are being taken whole wolverine is in development. Look at where they are now tho all are great titles and I'm sure wolverine will be lit but I'm surprised at the lack of super heroe games, thoroughly made good ones that is. I also think there are others who want to make some good heroe games but upper management like NO WE NEED GAAS GAMES AND ONLINE SERVICE GAMES NOW! Lmao
"The report adds that, at 39 months since its launch, the PlayStation 5's lifetime sales are currently 7% ahead of the PlayStation 4 during that same period. Sony's home console is also 68% ahead of the PlayStation 3's life-to-date sales."
Nice!
Console industry is stagnant right?
Any reason why TLoU2 suddenly rose to #9 in the chart?
