Edmilson 7,474 Posted July 1, 2023 Share Posted July 1, 2023 Assassin’s Creed IV: Black Flag Remake Reportedly in the Works I hope this is true! I've played many AC games but none was as entertaining as Black Flag. I just loved navigating with the ship through the Caribbean Sea, getting into battles with other ships and exploring different tropical islands. They tried to so something similar on Odyssey, but it wasn't as fun. Manakin Skywalker 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Edmilson 7,474 Posted July 10, 2023 Share Posted July 10, 2023 EA is making a single-player Black Panther game We don’t have many details yet, but development is being handled by a new studio called Cliffhanger Games. https://www.theverge.com/2023/7/10/23787287/ea-black-panther-game-single-player Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Edmilson 7,474 Posted July 28, 2023 Share Posted July 28, 2023 Red Dead Redemption remake seemingly confirmed as Rockstar drops new logo RDR2 is one of my most beloved games of all time, but I didn't get the chance to play the first one, so a remake would be welcomed.

Schilkeman 964 Posted August 3, 2023 Share Posted August 3, 2023 I prefer the first one, personally. It's up there on my best games of all time list. The open world will obviously be less dynamic and involved than a newer game, but the gunplay is better, and the narrative is, for me, superior to the muddy and dour (and dare I say dissonant) RDR2 story. Also, it takes place in the desert, which makes it miles better, again, to me. It's much closer to Leone than the sequel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Koray Savas 2,251 Posted August 4, 2023 Share Posted August 4, 2023 If you want Leone, then Red Dead Revolver is the game for you. I’m glad Redemption 2 became its own sprawling epic Western. Edmilson 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m glad Redemption 2 became its own sprawling epic Western. Sure, but Revolver isn’t very good and RDR is, though I’m a sucker for games with desert settings. ME: Andromeda had two desert planets. A+ work as far as I’m concerned lol. I think there is an interesting story buried somewhere in RDR2. I try not to armchair rewrite stories, but this game brings it out of me. I think if Arthur had left the gang midway through it would have been much more interesting. Also, we don’t get enough time with the gang, and Dutch in particular, to recognize his descent into madness. I don’t really know how he was before Blackwater, so the changes that the story keeps telling me are important don’t land because I have nothing to compare them to. By the time we get to Cuba, and Dutch kills the old woman, it’s like, I’ve just spent the whole game shooting any poor dude passing by with a wagon I want to fence, and this is supposed to land as a character going too far? It just doesn’t work for me. I hate when ludo-narrative dissonance gets brought up, because I find it usually doesn’t apply to the games that get accursed off having it, but, for me, it applies here. The open world is a wonder, though. It’s a shame what it took to get it made, but it’s dynamic and reactive in a way no other game has achieved. It’s at least worth playing for that reason.

MaxMovieMan 273 Posted August 5, 2023 Share Posted August 5, 2023 My dad is playing RDR2 right now so it would be awesome for him to be able to play the technical sequel in very good quality. He’s never played the first game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Edmilson 7,474 Posted August 5, 2023 Share Posted August 5, 2023 For me, the story in RDR2 is HBO-levels of quality. Some beautiful writing in there. It's like a cinematic epic where you can control (to a certain degree) the fates of the characters. MaxMovieMan 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Edmilson 7,474 Posted December 11, 2023 Share Posted December 11, 2023 There's a new game based on two movies that made a gazillion dollars and... Not even Ubisoft seems to care enough about it. Quote I’ve played about six hours of Ubisoft’s new Avatar: Frontiers Of Pandora and my big takeaway is that Avatar sickos will love this game, Far Cry Primal fans will get a kick out of Ubisoft returning to this formula, and everyone else, well… uh…dang, the game sure is pretty, huh? https://kotaku.com/avatar-frontiers-of-pandora-impressions-review-ubisoft-1851077773 I know these Avatar movies are controversial (I think the first one is okay and the second was really good), but since James Cameron and Lightstorm invested so much money in order to make the most spectacular visual experience in theaters worthy of their 3 billion dollars box office, I think a game based on this brand should've been much more, I don't know, mind-blowing? These are "the biggest movies of all time" so the game should be similarly big and grandiose? Especially now that consoles have much more power than in 2009. Yet this one is so empty?

Schilkeman 964 Posted December 15, 2023 Share Posted December 15, 2023 I've heard some conflicting reports about the Avatar game. Some seem to like the new things it's doing with crafting, and its light survival elements, but there's a lot of "this game feels empty....so like the movie hur hur," also. It looks good and expensive, but not groundbreaking. The Mana game. Um. Has any series coasted on the over-sized legacy of its first game the way that series has? I've yet to play one I thought was good. The current brain trust at Square does not inspire confidence. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jay 37,377 Posted January 18 Author Share Posted January 18 Wowzers! This new Prince of Persia game was not on my radar in the slightest, and though I vaguely remember seeing it in a Nintendo Direct, I definitely didn't come away with the impression that it's a Metroidvania.

Edmilson 7,474 Posted February 19 Share Posted February 19 I don't think it has been posted here, but Insomniac (the studio behind the latest Spiderman games) suffered a massive leak last year that revealed a lot of stuff, including actual gameplay (obviously in a rough state) of their upcoming Wolverine game, plus plans for all their next games until the 2030s (!), Marvel or otherwise. Today, a Wolverine trailer has leaked on Twitter: This Reddit thread has a compilation of the leaks: Edit: The trailer was part of a PowerPoint presentation which also highlighted some of the game's inspirations: God of War Ragnarok, Uncharted 4, Assassin's Creed: Unity and, for the Jean Grey scenes, Control. Actually, there is an entire subreddit dedicated to the Insomniac leaks: https://www.reddit.com/r/insomniacleaks/s/BU4XUa56sX Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Edmilson 7,474 Posted February 20 Share Posted February 20 Sony's stock lost $10 billion last week. The reason? Although the revenue is at an all time high, their profit margin is at a decade-low. One of the reasons for that is that software production costs are on the rise. According to the Insomniac leaks I mentioned, only Spider-Man 2 costed $300 million, approximately the cost of an Avengers movie. https://www.cnbc.com/2024/02/19/sony-gaming-margin-questioned-after-ps5-sales-cut-sparks-stock-plunge.html In other words: get ready to say goodbye to massive AAA games such as that.
