Firing Squad writes: "The New York Comic Con is in full swing this weekend, and while hardly known as a game showcase, NYCC has become a place for developers to generate some buzz for upcoming summer releases between the holiday blitz and E3 in June. We took a quick jaunt across the lovely state of New Jersey to stop by and take a look at some upcoming games from Activision, Sega, THQ, EA, and others to see how 2009 is shaping up. While there wasn't a huge amount of games on display, we were pretty impressed with the few we saw and even got some hands-on time with games like Prototype, Red Faction: Guerilla, Jumpgate: Evolution, Champions Online, and even the just announced Battlefield 1943. Read on to hear our initial impressions of the games we'll all be playing in 2009."
Not all video game protagonists are sweet, jolly, or wholesome. Folks like Agent 47 are cold, ruthless, and reserved and it shows.
I'd like to believe Joel's situation is more about turning into a calloused survivor in a cold-hard world who may have made selfish decisions. Not inherently ruthless.
Ah, fond memories of strangling all the people in their hotel rooms in Hitman 1
Lara Croft, Nathan Drake etc, cos they pretend to be the good guys but are mass murderers that show no remorse.
While the mainstream media always sees things turning in favor of the hero, here are 6 games that own being a bad guy.
Pretty much all of these games listed are based around a morality system you don't have to be bad and you don't have to be good.
It seems to have left out some real amazing games like red dead redemption 1/2,ass effect and true crime la/ny
Armored Core VI?
Ok, I'm really missing something here. Just beat chapter 3 earlier this evening, unlocked A-rank Arena fights. I'm not seeing or sensing any branching paths or morality system and I've done every side mission and arena fight available to me up to that fight.
Is something big coming soon to branch the story?
No mention of Grand Theft Auto? Saints Row (original trilogy), Manhunt? Also The Suffering (depending on the ending you get).
Trevor in GTA 6 is a sadist and psychopath who dabbles in cannibalism. Should be top of the list. These game “news” sites should hire people that know games.
Cryptic Studios appears to be the latest Embracer-owned company to be impacted by layoffs.
