GojiColin Posted June 1, 2015 Share Posted June 1, 2015 I've got to say the announcement that the 3DS LBX game is coming to the west is a pleasant surprise. I definitely enjoyed what I played of the PSP games. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andrew POE! Posted June 1, 2015 Share Posted June 1, 2015 I hope that we get a PS4 version of XCOM 2. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Fresh Posted June 1, 2015 Share Posted June 1, 2015 I hope that we get a PS4 version of XCOM 2. Doesn't seem that we will, at least not at the same time as PC (which launches later this year). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Fresh Posted June 2, 2015 Share Posted June 2, 2015 XCOM 2: Welcoming Our New Alien Overlordshttp://www.ign.com/articles/2015/06/02/xcom-2-welcoming-our-new-alien-overlordsSo the story of XCOM 2 seems to ignore the previous game. In this game, XCOM didn't win, the aliens won. The game takes place 20 years after that, and XCOM are more like guerrilla fighters than a huge army.

Lamp, broken circa 1988 Posted June 2, 2015 Share Posted June 2, 2015 It's not ignoring XCOM's ending as much as it is embracing the bad ending, where you lose country support and then your benefactors end up under mind control, saying working with the aliens is the best strategy. I love the idea of the bad ending being the canon ending. I love that idea so much. I'm kind of surprised a game hasn't done that before now, but it totally follows that XCOM would.

Big Fresh Posted June 3, 2015 Share Posted June 3, 2015 XCOM 2's Jake Solomon (Creative Director) and Garth DeAngelis (Lead Producer) join us to go through the first trailer for a frame-by-frame look at its secrets. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Salads Posted June 3, 2015 Share Posted June 3, 2015 I love the idea of the bad ending being the canon ending. I love that idea so much. I'm kind of surprised a game hasn't done that before now, but it totally follows that XCOM would. That works so well for video games now you bring it up. Movies are frequently having the problem of having to resurrect villains or otherwise having to bring previously victorious heroes crashing back into a state of vulnerability for sequels, often stretching credibility when coupled with the need for increased stakes. Games meanwhile don't need to stick to the script to let the consumers come out happy, and if the canon storyline is based off of bad outcomes then it is logical for the next entry to present a bigger threat being the culmination of prior ones. Terminator 2 seems like the kind of plot that would fit as a late entry in a Deus Ex-like game series. Game one is trying to stop an AI (Skynet/Helios) from getting power --canon failure-> Game two is the player character JC (John Conner / Denton) trying to organise and gather a resistance force in the resulting post-robocalyptic world --canon success-> man versus machine war is under way, the tide is starting to turn and mankind makes the push to win --canon failure-> both sides send soldiers types back in time and the player controls Gunther Hermann trying to outwit someone with augmentations that work properly.

Death From Above Posted June 3, 2015 Share Posted June 3, 2015 No one will ever convince me that the bad ending for KoToR isn't the real one (everything from rescuing Bastilla fromMalak to the end). It sets up the second game just too well. It doesn't help that Bastilla's speech about why the Jedi screwing you over was bullshit makes too much damn sense.

Nobody will ever convince me of that either, mainly because it's probably my favorite ending to any game, ever. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Death From Above Posted June 4, 2015 Share Posted June 4, 2015 Rainbow Six is probably the one tactical shooter series that doesn't piss me off and I've actually enjoyed from time to time over the years. I can't really think of a point where the series just jumped off a cliff somewhere, so I'm fine with them finding new gimmicks and pumping out a new one every couple of years.

Big Fresh Posted June 4, 2015 Share Posted June 4, 2015 It looks awesome, however, I always get my ass kicked in PvP shooters. That's why I like co-op stuff and Horde modes so much. So I'm probably gonna regret picking it up (though I still will). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Fresh Posted June 4, 2015 Share Posted June 4, 2015 When I was discussion Battleborn on Reddit, someone told me it looks like Gigantic. I had never heard of this game, so now I looked it up. How had this gotten by me? It looks very cool. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Death From Above Posted June 9, 2015 Share Posted June 9, 2015 Just saw that there's going to be a remaster of Resident Evil 0 on Steam (though not available until early 2016). Actually will think about picking that up. When 0 was a GameCube exclusive a few people might have missed it, but at least in my opinion it was one of the highlight games of that system and I think it's cool it will see the light of day again. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tabe Posted June 16, 2015 Share Posted June 16, 2015 That trailer for The Last Guardian is...not good. You've got the fake language dialogue - which I detest in games, in general. You've got the kid saying the same phrase over and over though it's obviously supposed to have different meanings each time. There's a distinct lack of color. And the whole thing just looks...low res. Like that looks like a mid-life PS3 game not a PS4 title. Put that against Uncharted 4, for example - they look like they're running on completely different hardware. And the gameplay shown just looks incredibly boring.

Death From Above Posted June 16, 2015 Share Posted June 16, 2015 That was... strange. I get wanting to hype the pegasus-chihuahua that purrs (things I never thought I'd type...), and the puzzle solving, but, like... are there enemies in this game?
