CVG - With the likes of Battlefield 3, Modern Warfare 3 and Uncharted 3 the dominant names on every gamers' mind, it sounds like it's going to be a cold winter for any title that isn't a sequel to some superpower series.
Shaz from Pixel Swish: “Both Insomniac Games and Ubisoft have given us games with dual protagonists. However, where Ratchet and Clank: Rift Apart’s duo feel exactly the same, Assassin’s Creed Shadow’s Yasuke and Naoe feel unique.”
They are exactly the same because it's another version of Ratchet within the multiverse. It's not Ratchet himself or a female version of him but it's someone else who's taken his place / role within that Universe.
Agreed! A better comparison take would have been between AC Syndicate and AC Shadows.
with ratchet, they are the same, they play the exact same.
im not even sure why this needs to be said, we all know.
They weren't trying to make them play differently, literally 2 versions of the same person. Wo ur saying they failed at something they never set out to do 🤨
What in the f who even thought of that concept and connect these two games that released years apart and have nothing to do with each other.
You could of said fuel protagonist vs other times where AC did duel protagonist or a game like GTA v that allows for on the fly switching
Like how desperate are they for clicks
Rivet's character was more useless and forced than Abby from TLOU2.
MULTIVERSESSSSSSS!!! Remember that trend people lol? Also remeber how a beloved vilain Dr Neferious was reduced to a braindead wimp and a parody of himself?
“MULTIVERSESSSSSSS!!! Remember that trend people lol?”
It’s still going on. Especially @ Marvel.
Insomniac's Ted Price talks about the ballooning game development costs, and how it was a studio decision to focus on single-player games.
Not really. These days it would be more believable if you found out Sony tried to force them do generic live service slop
I'll be that guy. Their writing needs work cause the story in both Spiderman games were pretty bad. I'm all for more SP games, I prefer em, but man is writing in games in general just gawd awful.
First spidermans writing was fine, second hand some points where it could have been better and based on the leaks due to the hack alot of content for cut for whatever reason. Had it managed to stick to the story that was originally written without the sometimes frankly weird changes that were made - it would have been much better written.
I thought the first game was too crowded and the characters that should've gotten more attention didn't get enough due to having a rushed Sinister 6 inclusion. But hey thnx for the reply rather than just hitting the disagree.
"enough due to having a rushed Sinister 6 inclusion"
It wouldn't be so bad if they continued this development in background of Spiderman 2 so when Spiderman 3 comes you had the Green Goblin and the Sinister Six as the end goal.
Oh but no...they decided to have Kraven kill most of them off screen and them kill Kraven off at the end when he was part of the original Sinister Six in the comics, how dumb can you get.
Depends on what game
First Spiderman had a great story
Miles Morales was alright changing the Tinkerer, giving them a brand new origin as Miles old friend to give him a villain over creating his own original villain (which he REALLY needs, even in the comics) was pretty silly. Some of her decisions, writing wise, in the game just made no sense where her sacrifice in the end didn't feel earned.
Spiderman 2...I'll give you that one. They tried to include far too many things story wise and they just couldn't spin that many plates. Harry's return, friction with MJ, Miles, Miles friends and Family, Hailey, Venom, the Symbiote war, Kraven and his Last Hunt. It just felt all over the place and Peter didn't to really shine like he did in the first game.
Second game was subject to loads of cuts which is why the story feels off I think. https://youtu.be/VEONGKG1gL...
Where are the days where we could have both a really good story and a really fun multiplayer without sacrificing one of the two.. It doesn’t have to be a live service title to be multiplayer. I understand there’s a lot of work that goes into keeping up with it, but still.
Those days were left on the PS360 era. I spent too much time during my depressed teenage years playing and sucking at Uncharted 2. I know people really enjoyed the Gears MP too, and Halo doesn't need to even be explained. Some games did it right, too many tacked it on, and F2P ruined it all.
I think the main problem is that everyone overthinks the multiplayer. It doesn't have to be some Grand live service game with season passes and a giant open world map with a Battle Royale mode.
Insomniac: "An update about our VR titles: they're coming back to the Meta Store!
The affected games should be live again: Edge of Nowhere, Stormland, and Feral Rites. 🥽
VR players, we appreciate your patience while we work with Meta restore access to these games."
Is it just me or can everybody else see the main guy's head incredibly large in Overstrike? ;)
dunno about others but i am preoccupied with MW2 and Killzone 3....
looking forward to UC3 and MW3.
"It's a brand new IP. It's going to be coming out at a time when we think a lot of sequels are going to be coming out" What sequels are coming out near this game? I dont think they have even said a release date let alone shown any gameplay.
I dunno why they chose to make another shooter, when they couldve made an awesome Action/Adventure game similar to that of Spyro.
Too many shooters, not enough traditional adventure/platformers.
