From Bayonetta to Grand Theft Auto IV, iafrica.com takes a look at the most overhyped and overplayed games of this generation.
Assassin's Creed has been hard done by in the past several years despite its success, and as messy as it could be, it might be time for a reboot.
They already did that in 2017 with origins. I don’t think a reboot is on the cards when Ubisoft is about to go down under lol
I hope the splinter cell remake sees the light of day before the company closes
I doubt they'll be closing, but they are primed to be eaten up by a bigger comp. Also 2017 was nearly a decade ago, it could use another reboot or rather it should just be retired.
Origins was the reboot.
But that also alienated the original AC lovers, abit. Not everybody adores the perma-change of the IP to be vast RPGs.
What I instead propose is, alternate between Valhalla/Shadows type AC RPGs and Mirage/ACII like non-RPG releases.
What is old might feel new again. A new splinter cell with semi open levels but still having a linear structure (not just one giant open world) that have multiple paths to complete the objective but still have stealth be the main priority would feel fresh, especially with modern graphics and military gadgets .
I agree, from anecdotal evidence, all franchises eventually stagnate, it might be a good time to start something new.
"it might be time for a reboot." No it might be time to put this shit to rest for a few yrs. A good 4-5 then come back.
Total franchise reboot. This ac game is basically the hail Mary to keep Ubisoft alive if this fails the share price will be so low they will be forced to sell and likely absorbed into another org as the Ubisoft name carries almost no weight.
Don't get me wrong they will end up selling after ac regardless but it will be the difference of getting the deal they want vs the deal they don't
Creator of Bayonetta, Devil May Cry, Okami, Viewtiful Joe, and Wonderful 101 comments on how they're all part of the same universe.
I could definitely see a Bayonetta/Dante game. Imagine them initially battling each other before eventually teaming up to take on the big baddies. Now, imagine what their child(ren) would be like.
Bayonetta and Dante I could see but even then with how their lore differs it's a hard sell. For the others...I just can't see it at all.
I feel he's just saying whatever comes to him online
Bayonetta is a witch who enter contracts with demons for power and Dante is a demon, not really hard to connect.
They could even write in an alliance between the umbra witches and sparda.
On the surface yeah but the actual lore the two games have given us if you go into it...not so much.
With many wondering what route the franchise should take next, Assassin's Creed should finally visit the Wild West era.
Tell me how that's going to be significantly different than colonial America. AC is about showcasing different cultures throughout history. They already did Native Americans in AC3, so then just cowboys, outlaws, ranchers, etc? Kinda feel like there's already a game out there that does that really freaking well. Hmmm, maybe the one in the thumbnail?

Worse yet, its selling more - by a hair - on the console that has the "crappy" port.
Bayonetta
"With shameless sex appeal, cheesy cut-scenes typical of the genre and some dumb concepts (she does a handstand and shoots using her feet for Pete's sake!), Bayonetta is the kind of game that does nothing to push the medium forward."
When you actually play the title you beguine to think less and less how ironic everything is. when i first played bayonetta i had lots of questions about it. particularly about her guns on her feet and fact that there's no finger to pull the trigger. later on it hit's you that she's using her witch powers to manipulate each gun.....you wouldn't know any of that if you haven't played the game.
Honestly i had lot lots of other questions about other games too, DMC4 for instance. Nero wields a sword that with a twist of his handle he can make it sound like a motorcycle, with having no trace of an engine on it. it should be clear why people love these titles so.
Games like Tekken, DMC, Ninja Gainden, DOA, and street fighter weren't made for their complex stories or how or why they do the things they do.
All of these games have female characters the were made with massive sex appeal. it's clear that none of these games were made with a female's true touch....especially Ninja gaiden. all of these games were made so that enjoy immersing your self into it's game play and their arcade style, and that's what people have been saying about this particular title. (if you read the reviews.)
killzone 2, Uncharted 2, God of war 3, Gran Turismo 5. FAIL. FAIL and another FAIL.
AH, Playstation 3 hardware FAILUREA RATE surpasses xbox 360 ( 1%) PS3 = 33.3%
FAIL!!
Bayonetta is actually under appreciated.
You mean when there are big difference between consoles...there is more coverage of it...too bad we got people pointing out that instead of hype.
