Back in the days when the video game arcade scene was thriving, games just had to be easy to play and instantly addictive to be a success. It's often the simplest games that are the most addictive, with repetitive gameplay that is easy to learn, but requires great skill to master. Here are 10 of the most fiendishly addictive video games ever made. Beware."
Bethesda Game Studios writes: We are so grateful to the over 4 million of you that have already ventured into Cyrodiil with Oblivion Remastered. Thank you!
Congrats goes to Todd and everyone at Bethesda and team Xbox for another huge milestone!
Hopefully after this huge success, Phil might greenlit New Vegas Remastered powered by UE5 as well.
Fingers crossed!
I wish for, at the very least, maybe Fallout 3 remaster? I mean the success of the show proves that not just hardcore gamers are ready for a great updated Fallout game. I believe it could potentially be even more successful than the Oblivion remaster. But I do like your idea of a New Vegas UE5 , because I actually never played that. Bethesda are better under Microsoft, I agree with you now after this "remaster". It's much cheaper and faster to do something like this for an old classic game. Reminds me of when Capcom started doing that with RE2. Gamer goodwill became skyhigh for Capcom. Fingers crossed indeed
F3 Remastered already came out on the court documents, so unless it was cancelled, which sounds unlikely as it would the best they can hope to have to match any releases of the TV show since F5 isn’t coming out any time soon.
That said, I do agree that if this has proven to be a hit and I don’t see why F3 wouldn’t be if it gets the same level of treatment, they will probably want to do more
It's on GamePass. According to Steam DB: it has a 190k peak, which is not close to 4 mil. It didn't even reach 500k on Twitch stats and owner estimations are hovering around 1 mil or less.
Well done, despite not getting exact sales, this is still great news because the budget for this and the development time wouldn't have been much at all when compared to a full 6 or 7 year development window and the cost that would entail. So it does seem like a great success and even better when you consider that they shadow-dropped it without paid marketing. Hope this team is already past pre-production on another "remaster" of another classic, I'm personally hoping for Fallout 3 remaster
Microsoft realised how stupid they had been and delayed following Sega's example.
There you go MS, worldwide lots more people own PS5 or PC than Xbox. You got the money you're desperate for.
To be truly Sega, don't bother releasing a new console. Just focus on software.
"To be truly Sega, don't bother releasing a new console. Just focus on software."
MS will continue to release new consoles as they´ll continue and make tons of money out PC, PS5 and Switch 2 as well.
Gamers on other platforms will happily pay full price for amazing Xbox games while we get everything day one on Game Pass.
It´s a win win for everyone.
The Elder Scrolls 4: Oblivion Remastered is a reflective lens that highlights RPG evolution while proving the appeal of certain design philosophies.
That fall continues.
And? The game is in Early Access and Sims 3 has like a million DLC that people have sunk an ungodly amount of money into since 2009... Why even bother with this comparison?
Super Metroid = The game that is fun to speedrun. Finished this game around 20 times.
Call of Duty 4 = Played it around 500 hours. The multiplayer is addicting, and very fun. The single-player is decent, but the multiplayer is where this game shines.
Metal Gear Solid 4 = Suprisingly this game is very addicting. There are many types of ways to approach the game, and many paths to choose. You can sneak, shoot down everybody like a rambo, or you can be tactical and snipe everybody. I have finished this game 6 times.
...for me is the most addictive game. My longest game was over 4 hours when I had it on the Amiga 500, it was mentally exhausting!!!!
At the moment I still spend lots of time playing Pixeljunk Monsters.
I wonder where Pac-Man and Space Invaders ended up.
These articles must have been written 10 years ago, with the exception of WoW.
Guitar Hero/Rock Band. Its magical, esp. if you're into metal/rock.
PS: Does my display name ring a bell? XD
Just wait until I perfect my i.v./Heroin pouch controller.
