Regardless of what people think of the most recent game of the franchise, the Final Fantasy series has been the dominant player in the role playing genre for the past twenty years.
The Outerhaven writes: While I hold Bethesda's The Evil Within series as some of the best Survival Horror games available, it's clear that Bethesda has no intention of revisiting the series. While Capcom is still working on its Resident Evil series, I look back at the now-dead survival horror series from Bethesda, wondering why the series was left wide open, and yet still not revisited.
An OK horror series left behind. It had some great ideas, but it never knew how to play to its strengths. Instead, it came out like just another RE4 clone.
I would love for a third entry to come out, but it needs to learn to lean in on the psychological aspect and move away from the generic "pew pew" ideology at the center of the gameplay loop. It doesn't need to abandon it; it just needs to put it into better context, is all.
Also, try a first-person perspective instead. Too many 3rd-person games with nothing to offer but an avatar taking precious screen space. At least make it an actual option and not that janky-ass mess the second game pretended to have.
During a livestream on his personal Twitch channel, Rob Wiethoff (who voices John Marston in the Red Dead Redemption series) hinted at "exciting news" to be revealed next week. According to Wiethoff, the news will be announced "before Friday".
PS5/Pro/Switch 2 version of RDR2 seems most likely. I’d love a RDR3 but that seems years away
Agreed, but at the same time RD2 came out in 2018. Could it be a remake of Red Dead 1?
Spoiler:
Marston died in the end of Red Dead and Red Dead 2 is set before that. Im curious now. What news could it be?
Their contracts are iron clas if they leak anything legit they are threatened with immense legal action.
My hopes for what this is are minimal its probably a meet and greet with the cast
I dont see why they would be involved in a upgraded version of rdr2 when the dialogue hasn't changed
He seems to have been cleared to do this as he purposely picked up the game, streamed it, and made the announcement.
"Back in the innocent days of 2010, A World of Keflings was a fairly popular successor to A Kingdom for Keflings. I even wrote about it a few times in 2012! But the world of humans moved on, and NinjaBee's city-building/adventure game was last seen on the ill-fated Wii U in 2014. Fast-forward to the dark year of 2025, and not only is A World of Keflings coming to Steam, but there's already a playable demo! Perhaps the cheerful, no pressure gameplay that the Keflings bring is just what we need nowadays," says Co-Optimus.
I like the idea behind it. "No point in trying to do the same thing", it's a good model for lots of upcoming companies. That's not to say that any series with direct sequels are bad, but it's a different and (and in most cases for FF) a good way or working with things.
It is one of the main reasons why I love Final Fantasy. Some worlds can get stale after a few games so a new one can bring a new mythology to the game.
I also like Suikoden it is all i the same world but in different areas and time periods.
It's important to note that Kawazu's last creative role for the mainline FF's was with FFII.
...and it is funny considering that all of the Crystal Chronicles games are set in the same world(probably).
different universe, different characters, different story and different RPG system every time. Instead of being a rehash every installment like Call Of Duty, it's essentially a whole new different game. Square should always be applauded for this.
I think this is good and bad. IMO that may just be used as excuses for XII and XIII's radical change. I don't care for that honestly. I think they should alter it, but to me they have went too far in altering it, and created some subpar games. I-X were well done. To a point with a series, and a genre you should stay somewhat with in the bounds of it, change is good, but sometimes too much just goes too far, and you start taking away core aspects of the game.
