Gameinformer: "Raven Software's Singularity isn't getting the buzz it deserves. Along with Mass Effect 2, Alan Wake, and Red Dead: Redemption, Singularity is one of 2010's most memorable games. I don't often force games upon people, but you really do owe it to yourself to play it.
Raven Software's blog is detailing the creation of this fascinating game through developer diaries. Different members from the team are walking through key sections of the game, such as animating age-able objects. Most of these sections dive deep into the development process, and point out the struggles and discoveries made along the way. Videos and behind-the-scenes looks are included."
Backward compatibility works for many games on newer consoles, but titles such as The Simpsons: Hit and Run have been left out.
Popularized by Doom in 1993 and still making video game haters gnash their teeth today, first-person shooter games are the best thing to happen to gamers since pizza rolls. So here are 15 underrated first-person shooter games you may have missed.
Although the late 2000s Turok wasn't my favorite, I would love a new entry. Open world survival with shotguns and dinosaurs. Not sure how we'd get the fusion cannon, but that would be pretty sweet too.
Lol
All of these games are pretty much universally praised. Outside of Timeshift I literally own all of these.
XIII, The Darkness 2, Far Cry: Blood Dragon, Timesplitters: future perfect, Bulletstorm are awesome games
I played them all, they are all good in their own way
I used to be obsessed with FPS games
As the world reels from the shockwaves of the seismic news that Microsoft is acquiring the proverbial swamp of the video-game landscape, Activision Blizzard King, it only seems natural that our minds should now shift towards what the fallout will be for presumably years if not decades to come.
Another Prototype would be awesome.
As for Singularity, I don't necessarily need a sequel, I just want to see Raven be able to flex their creative muscle again; not just be relegated to assisting with CoD. A lot of the old guard is still with the company.
That's part of what I'm hoping to see come from this acquisition. Revive teams like Vicarious Visions and Ravem to actually allow them to work on their own new projects again.
As great as that would be the deal wont finalize until end of fiscal year 2023. Until after that date MS wont really have a say as to where resources will be spent. So we wont realistically see anything until perhaps 2026 or later.
I think that’s a point that so many people are missing. Things will not change this year or next year at all. Maybe some changes might be apparent in 2024 but 2025/2026 is a good estimate of when things will really start happening. And I don’t think we will see as big a set of changes as some are suggesting.
Those teams having not worked on anything, the employees find jobs at other companies, they don't just remain unemployed till someone at the publisher decides to revive the team, they need to eat lol
That said, this list of games makes me unexcited for anything outside of CoD that Activision has to offer. All games are in stale genres, like Guitar Hero, Simpsons Hit and Run, these are long surpassed genres that are going to be difficult to revive.
@gamer75 if it is a combination it has to have my seal of approval. Such as a new Warcraft game or a new Warcraft mmo, or an action game based off the night elves orcs and humans if it’s a new IP. I’ll let you know after I talk with Microsoft
Man I’ve been waiting for Protoype since the last one. Protoype could seriously be MS’ answer to Infamous (freaking loved that game as well, hope Sony make a new one soon).
I'd like to see Activision get the Transformers license again and continue the War and Fall of Cybertron games. the movie games were crap and the game that combined both movie and Fall and War of Cybertron sucked a new Prototype would also be good as well.
You deserve a 1000 likes haha 😂. It’s a shame High Moon didn’t get to continue making Transformers. If they got a decent budget i think most of us TF fans would be excited.
Ms bought Activision and everybody dancing for what? For cod? Ms want to atleast earn some money Back from those 70 billion dollars.... The only thing they count on is more gamepass subscribers via Activision cod, diablo and over watch 2 1st Day free at gamepass. If they decide to make them exclusive to xbox they Will lose profit from ps4 and 5 sales. As For a New ip or an existing ip like over watch 3,diablo 5 or anything else like a New transformers Dont you think that developers need at least 3 years to Do something decent?
Anyway my opinion is that ms want to make videogaming Just a subscription a la netflix and that ps5 will beat xboxsx in sales like ps4 beat xbox and xbox one x..... All the money ms spending It Will defentily make more gamepass subscribers as for games we all must wait at least 3 more years... And thats why ps5 will get ahead in sales they have more AAA in the pipeline already plus lets see their answer for gamepass... P. S i Dont support subscriptions from neither company and i didnt buy switch plus for n64. If they give me the option to buy n64 games then yes i Will buy them but i am not paying for a rental.
Re-imagining of River Raid and the original adventurer Pitfall. Oh Zork is also a great game.
a good read
It's Bioshock with Russian posters on the walls. I guess my real beef is the Unreal 3 Engine is just so dated. The lack of textures and bland colors really sunk it for me. Another twitcher shooter, float around and kill the same enemies over and over and over again. The bosses were a joke; it's like they take your hand and give you no credit as a gamer to figure out how to do anything on your own.
Also, I really hate it when I walk out a door in an abandoned building and WHOP, it closes and locks behind me. WTF? I get that some games need to be linear but when I am in a room that has a weapons upgrade machine and I see a suitcase that contains an upgrade just outside the room and I walk outside to get it only to turn around and find I can't go back in the room....drives me batty!
The story is all right but the AI is Forrest Gump stupid. Serious. Half of them get stuck behind a 2 foot box and just stand there and let me flank em and kill them.
The whole time thing is misleading. All you can do is make a broken down ammo crate "move forward through time" by making it new again and then you can open it. Big whoop. Oh, you can age enemies in the same way, over and over again and it turns them to dust. Big deal. I was hoping for a Timesplitter sort of deal. The time shifting is a gimmick. It's just like having a different gun.
If you like baby mode, hold your hand, float around like a ghost, being told where and what to do, stupid enemies, 5 year old graphics and 6 hours of total gameplay then you will like this game.
Give me Demons Souls, Dead Space, Infamous any day over this.
4/10.
I saw a youtube vid of this game, it looks shit.
Severely under rated IMHO. It's like Bioshock + F.E.A.R. and I liked that mix. Has a decent story too. Shure its no 9, but it ain't no 7 either!
