Best Fighting Game of 2024

VGChartz's Chinh Tran: "As these games wrestled, jostled, and brawled to stand out in an increasingly crowded space, gamers had no shortage of options when it came to fighters. Bandai Namco took the Budokai Tenkaichi series to new heights with the release of Dragon Ball: Sparkling! Zero. The same company also unleashed Tekken 8, continuing the series' intense combat mechanics for gamers to master. Arc System Works gave us one final installment of the Under Night In-Birth series, in the form of [Sys: Celes]. And finally 2K Games gave wrestling fans WWE 2K24, which further refined the long-running series' mechanics."

EA Cut Dead Space's Marketing Budget to Pour Into Mirror's Edge Due to Mock Review Scores

Former Visceral Games devs reveal Dead Space's marketing budget was cut in favor of Mirror's Edge because of mock review scores.

I wish EA would just release a DS2 remake. DS is my favorite horror game and DS2 is the best one in the franchise. But because DS1 failed to meet certain numbers EA scrapped the DS2 remake. SH2 remake was great rumors are Konami might be asking for another SH remake. The RE2 remake was great EA just needs to give it another try. But all they seem to do is shitty sports games that are no different from the year before. Change a few players, add different uniform colours, maybe change a team logo. Wash, rinse, repeat.

Agreed. DS was great. But DS2 was even better. Would love to see a DS2 remake, though I would love to see a DS4 even more.
The problem with EA is they make easy $ from the slight changes to their sports titles like football FC games (whatever it’s called nowadays). People just lap that sh1t up.
Comparatively, games like DS which don’t sell 10s of millions, can’t sell them team player add ons and all the like, would seem a hassle to make and unappealing comparatively. Especially when you consider that most EA non sport titles haven’t actually performed well recently.

Dark Souls 2, Darksiders 2, Dead Space 2, Death Stranding 2, Shin Megami Tensei: Devil Survivor 2

The Dead space remake was so good. Better than the original. Shame they won't remake 2.

I loved the original dead space but the remake I just found boring. Game design has moved on and the game really showed its age, just small area encounters repeated again and again.

I bought Dead Space during launch window and I never bought a Mirror's Edge game .

Then they went on to screw both games over.

I'd rather see a new and great Mirrors Edge than another boring Dead Space.

Dead space is also a really great game.

Doki doki is a weird one it sounds interesting because it leads you to believe it somehow becomes some kind of psychological horror but I must of “played” it for an hour. But all I’ve done is read teenage girls opinions on poems….

StoneTitan195d ago

I would play it another 2 hours. By then you will realise. Its really just poems.

goken194d ago (Edited 194d ago )

Errrmmm maybe horrible poems?

Actually i am at an hour also… and yeah… poems lol
I’m super curious how this turns into a horror game lol

FIELDMARSHALL_P195d ago

Never played a WWE 2k game I'm 44 lol but I downloaded it and yea I like it the old school matches you get dropped in are dope playing stuff I saw as a kid even though I knew it was fake.

Terry_B195d ago

aye, that 40 years of wrestlemania mode was damn nice, re-playing some of the matches that were cool but not the main events like ultimate warrior vs rick rude and all the hilarious stuff around macho man and hulk hogan with miss elizabeth at that time was pure greatness ;)

StormSnooper195d ago

Playing DeadSpace as I never played the first one. Pretty good. Also got the Doki Doki one to see what it is .

FIELDMARSHALL_P195d ago

I beat the original this remake is great scaringy new kids all over again haha

gold_drake195d ago

Profchaos195d ago
