I wish it followed in it's original roots!

clank5435043d ago

Yeah, that would be a little nicer. This just looks kind of..... boring. Haven't we had enough first person shooters going for a nostalgia 40s/50s/60s vibe by now?

The game looks great, just a little generic.

Jaybronee5043d ago

I was thinking the same thing. Wish every game wasn't a FPS shooter.

TheGrimBunny5044d ago

Me too, because I originally had NO IDEA what this game was about.

Shackdaddy8365044d ago

That looked a ton better than I thought it would be. I like it...

OC_MurphysLaw5043d ago

totally agree...and while I wish some day they will remake the original turn based game... I am liking what I am seeing from this. I think they made some good design revisions too.

TheGrimBunny5043d ago

Why is no approving this, I have never seen more that short unexplained trailer before this?

Blizzard, 2K Games And More Formally Return To PAX East

PAX EAST has officially confirmed that Blizzard and 2K Games are amongst the bigger names attending the show. This would be two of the bigger names to return to live U.S. shows since the Covid Pandemic.

Good to hear. Past couple of years the show floor is getting smaller & smaller, with more space everywhere. Food truck trucks made their way on to the expo hall floor last year. Haven't seen that since 2012.

We stopped going to PAX West and let local team cover it. We could not justify airfare, rental car, food, hotel, etc for indies.

In Praise of Mafia III’s Voice Acting

Shaz from Pixel Swish: "The Mafia games have always excelled in storytelling and voice acting. Though Mafia 3 faltered in some gameplay aspects, its story and, particularly, voice acting are tremendous."

Mafia III had a great narrative and some truly incredible performances. The gameplay loop had its issues but the story, acting, world and atmosphere don't get nearly enough credit.

I loved the story elements butbfirnme the gameplay loop went behind issues it was utterly dull and it's structure was it's downfall.

Go to area of map disrupt business through open world shenanigans that feel extremely rinse and repeat many times until cutscenes and boss fight then repeat again

They had so much potential especially in the CIA angle but it was squandered.

I wish they could do it over and focus on the narrative like a more traditional GTA game

First few hours: "This game is incredible!"

Hour 10: "Wait, that's it? I'm going to be doing the same thing over and over for the rest of the game??"
