I am sorry but this game is looking like crap imo. I am sure I will get flamed for this..but man it just is not impressing me. Sure all the cut scenes and cinematics look fantastic...and they do! They look off the hook great. BUT....EVERY in game video of actual game play looks really, really bad. And not just graphically bad...but game play bad too. Fireballs look lack luster...explosions equally lack luster....ground combat just looked bad period. And yes I know its a flight game...but if you are going to include ground combat make it good. As for the flying....may just be me but the dragons flight does not feel smooth. I mean you look at birds as they fly and their is a grace to it even when they are flying all about crazy like there is a smooth side to it....and in the game that is just lacking.

I know I will get hate for this...but this game is just rapidly falling away in terms of interest. And yes I was VERY interested in this game when I first heard of it.

You're entitled to your opinion. I disagree with most of what you think but, still it's opinion and arguing opinion is rather futile.

I think the game looks great, I'm excited about the preview of this game on the main page. The amount detail in the levels is amazing when considering it's size. Flying a dragon into a mid air battle sounds like great fun too. It's not just repetitive fireball shooting like some people have thought from some videos. They have various mission objectives and diverse and beautiful levels to keep one interested as well throughout the game. It reminds me of shadow of collossus but while flying on a dragon.

I'm still excited about this game.

Husso6146d ago

no dude, you just are a retard xbot. (Dlacy13g)

neogeo6145d ago

but maybe it will look better when you sit down and play it, so far it looks kinda crappy.

peksi6145d ago

I noticed the videos were choppy but the stills are fantastic. I don't know if it's the video or the game but maybe it's best seen really on action. I suppose 1080p and steady fps (?) will convince me when/if witnessed with my own eyes.

One thing that has lately convinced me is computerandvideogames.com. Those guys are pretty radical anti-sony folks and still they praised it to heaven after their preview.

Seeing is not always believing, trying it is what really counts and if you wanna read the preview of people who have tried it you would know what i mean.

Visit CVG for that

Shadow Flare6146d ago

But i prefered the video which shows that huge sea snake thing. Its so cool when its just towering there...man this game is epic. It looks to have the same scale feel as Shadow of the Collosus. The HUGE scale of this game mixed with the amazing detail and the incredible sound...wonder if this would fit on a dvd

Top 10 Bad Games by Good Studios

Alex S. from Link-Cable writes: "When shopping for new video games you can often trust the name publisher or developer on the box to be an indication of the quality of the game. Names like Nintendo, Square Enix, Sony Interactive Entertainment, Capcom, Xbox Game Studios and Sega are world famous because they helped shape the industry by releasing some of the most defining video games of all time. Though sometimes even these great gaming houses stumble and put out a stinker."

Splatterhouse remake . Loved the og’s at the arcade growing up . Hell the best thing about the remake was the og,s were included . And left alive by Square . That game had so much potential , but the gameplay was worse horrendous .

Game-ur1390d ago

once Great studios getting destroyed is actually common. happened with ND and Last of Us2, Bioware and Mass Effect Andromeda/Anthem, Bungle and Destiny .

BeRich2331390d ago

Fuse should have been on that list (Insomniac Games)

Yui_Suzumiya1390d ago

Splatterhouse remake kicked ass

merryja1390d ago

I personally don't like these games.

East76lands1390d ago

I'm pretty much certain that any Sonic game that comes out will be terrible, I've not enjoyed one since the original side-scrolling days of the MegaDrive.

HarryMasonHerpderp1390d ago

Then you might like a recent sonic "sonic mania".

jaymacx1390d ago

For this Topic it says Good Studios that make bad games. Sonic Team hasn't been good in years.

How often do disappointing games get remakes

darthv721867d ago (Edited 1867d ago )

well... if disappointing movies can get remakes then why not games? some of these have really good premise but somewhat disappointing execution. In the right hands they could be great.

I quite enjoyed lair (after the patch), too human and the order 1886. I'd even add in quantum break and recore as disappointing but with a good premise.

gangsta_red1867d ago

"well... if disappointing movies can get remakes then why not games?"

But how many disappointing movies actually get those? I'm still waiting for a remake of Howard the Duck.

darthv721867d ago

^nothing disappointing about howard the duck. It is cheesy 80's goodness.

gangsta_red1867d ago

When you're right, you're right.

rainslacker1866d ago

@Gangsta

Wasn't there a rumor that they were looking at making another Howard the Duck? He had a cameo in GoTG2.

Love that movie for how bad it was. That and Garbage Pail Kids.

DrumBeat1866d ago

The Order was a fresh experience. Not the most compelling game, but I didn't want to put it down, and platted it. Good for what it was.

Quantum was something different as well, but a little less fun to actually play, imo. The 'acting' was done in a cheese factory too. Completed one path and never returned to it.

pietro12121867d ago (Edited 1867d ago )

FFXIV was already remade, and it's probably the beat thing Square has put out in years.

notachance1867d ago

yes, I was giving an example of disappointing games remade to be a great game

thorstein1867d ago

Every time sites need clicks. Just look at the obligatory: i wAnT cLIcKs tEh OrDer 1886 pIcTUrE.

JonathanHarris1866d ago

It's really not super often, but it does happen!

Mostly we see cult favorites come back around but in the recent case of Shaq-Fu we really saw a truly awful game see new life (not great life but at least new).

It's something I'd love to see a lot more of.

Thanks for reading my article!

NarutoFox1867d ago

Too Human yeah I remember that game smh😂

Inzo1867d ago

The Order has its faults yes but it had a fantastic atmosphere and some great gameplay. A game with enormous potential and far from disappointing. I say give Ready at Dawn another crack at it because I think they created an diamond with some rough edges that just needs some tlc.

Dreamcatcher451867d ago

Problem was the repetitive boss fights. I liked the gunplay, cover system and somewhat the story.

hulk_bash19871867d ago (Edited 1867d ago )

It did have fantastic atmosphere, I'll give you that. But gameplay pretty much played out like short gunfire segments interlaced with walking/sneaking + QTE events. Gameplay was the weakest point of The Order because RAD prioritized world building and graphical detail. Ut was disappointing because it didnt live up to the massive potential it haf. If they were given another shot at a sequel, I hope they can learn from their mistakes.

notachance1867d ago

gameplay was meh but the world had potential, in my ideal world it'd have Mass Effect kind of gameplay

Prubar1867d ago

I waited till The Order was discounted and went in with certain expectations and wasn’t disappointed. Just like Quantum Break. Great concept just needed a little extra meat on the bones.

rainslacker1866d ago

I had high hopes before it released. They were curbed some by the early previews, and while I found faults with the game, and it was obviously released unfinished, I still enjoyed it. The lore, acting, graphics, and world itself were excellent.

JonathanHarris1866d ago

I agree that it had some awesome atmosphere and the gameplay wasn't awful, but that potential is exactly why I put it on this list. I actually loved playing the game (same as some of the other games I put on this list such as Army of Two) But I would just love to see what could happen if it fulfilled some of that potential, ya know? Could have had the next incredible Sony franchise to rival God of War.

Thanks for reading my article!

TheEnigma3131867d ago

The order should have had a sequel. The first one wasn't bad just needed a few tweaks.

robtion1866d ago

I would love a sequel to The Order. It is still a great game.

Lair had a great concept and could be amazing with the current technology available. A Lair-like ps5 game could be incredible.

15 Worst PlayStation Exclusive Games of All Time

PlayStation’s strong and impressive lineup of exclusives is probably the biggest edge it has over its direct competition in the market- a fact that has been true for as long as anyone can remember.

Ridge racer for PSP was actually good and shouldn't be on this list. I think I'm the only one that enjoyed Haze.

Mr Pumblechook2154d ago

When GamingBolt have to dig up PS1 & PS2 games you know Sony is doing something right.

PygmelionHunter2154d ago

The list is about the worst Playstation exclusives games OF ALL TIME...

Why wouldn’t they include PS1 and PS2 games?

Prince_TFK2154d ago

That’s right, only PS4 games should be on the list of the worst Sony exclusive games of all time. /s

Dragonscale2154d ago

As much as I like PlayStation, there are plenty of stinkers just like on all platforms tbh.

RR on Vita made the list, not the PSP version. RR on Vita was severely lacking content.

Knushwood Butt2154d ago

They tried something new and it failed.

The initial price point was low but a large amount of content was locked behing DLC

These days you often pay full price up front and get the same concept.

Darkwatchman2154d ago (Edited 2154d ago )

Didn’t the list just have ridge racer on Vita? Because the Vita ridge racer was a dumpster fire at $40 with next to no cars or tracks. It was such an incomplete experience. As the article states, it felt more like a full priced demo than an actual game. Psp ridge racer had so much more to it.

SierraGuy2153d ago (Edited 2153d ago )

All early ridge racers had next to no cars...game was great because of its graphics, controls, fun factor. Nothing could touch it on PS1.

thank you for the list. I believe he should listed PSVR titles as VR....

yeahright22154d ago

I love when people do this to sites that try to artificially up their clicks by forcing one click per entry. But I will say maybe let's leave off the first entry so they get the one click. Both so N4g gets whatever they're due for pushing traffic to their site and to send a message to the site that you only get one click.

Well everybody should have gamingbolt blocked anyways.
