On the thirtenth day, the question we have for you (and it's the right title to the question even!) is "Who do you think is the most underrated game designer?"
Mine is simple, Erik Wolpaw. What you don't know him? Oh, let's list some of the games he's been a part of: Psychonauts (attributed to mostly Tim), Half-Life 1 and 2, and Portal (all of those attributed to primarily Gabe/Valve).
He has created stories we loved and that have won awards if not years of requests for a complete trilogy. But, you won't see him mentioned like others and is usually only in the spotlight when standing next to more well known names.
Look for more of his work with Psychonauts 2, though.
Shift Up has released Stellar Blade day one update 1.002 on PS5, and those who preloaded the game should be notified of this update.
I can't believe they're censoring this game on day 1. Games just aren't the same.
/s in case it's needed. I'm fine with them making these changes that they might not have known is culturally insensitive to some people in the big ole world. But that's just me.
Poised to make its mark, Stellar Blade is a stylish adventure but, will it cut through the competition to soar past comparisons?
Shenmue: Reclaiming the Path is a fan game using Dreamcast-era visuals, and tells a new story within the Shenmue saga taking place in both Hong Kong and Guilin. Its expected to release on September 16th.
Something about recreating old school graphics in an era of HD high poly photo realism just hits a spot. I'm not nostalgic cause I mostly played GameCube and GB/A, but it's a visual style that gets over looked even by indies.
Ralph Baer. Fewer and fewer people even know who he is. He created Pong and the first console. When I walk into a game store and even retro gamers I talked to never heard of him, they just think Atari created games. WTF!? For real!? If the man who invented games is no longer a household name then how is he not the most underrated?
Easy. It’s Remedy.
They got away with an action/horror game where you’re a flashlight-wielding writer who gathers batteries like they’re ammunition, and somehow the whole thing was more magical and creative than it had any right to be. Sure, they’re loved by critics and “hardcore” gamers, but they’re still way under the mainstream’s radar, and that’s one of the biggest injustices in modern gaming.
Most underrated FPS game ever to me personally is Killzone 2, we really need a remake of that game with the same heavy online controls. Or if not a remake a new Killzone game with Killzone 2 style of controls and online.
