Rumors have been swirling for quite some time that Microsoft has a brand supernatural action adventure new Perfect Dark game in development. According to the rumors, the new Perfect Dark will be third-person , and will be at least partially developed by Gears of War studio The Coalition. Whether or not there’s any truth to these claims remains to be seen, but it would make sense for Microsoft to take advantage of Perfect Dark ‘s popularity and leg
Players took the role of Banjo with his bird friend Kazooie. Together, you venture out to stop the evil plans of Gruntilda, an evil witch who only wants to benefit herself. Jigsaw pieces and musical notes are needed to progress to new zones, encouraging exploration and interacting with the game’s charming characters. The latest entry in the series was a vehicle-building title rather than a platformer, resulting in many fans disliking the departure.
Nintendo proved with Super Mario Odyssey that there is still plenty that the 3D platformer genre has to offer, and it would be nice to see Banjo-Kazooie get a modern update as well. Rare doesn’t even have to be the studio to make the game. Microsoft has plenty of studios under the Xbox Game Studios umbrella that could be given the reigns of Banjo-Kazooie – whatever it takes to see the bird and bear make their long-awaited, and much-deserved, comeb
Silent Hill 2 from 2001 stands as one of the greatest horror games ever made and pushed the medium forward with its nuanced story about guilt, trauma, and lust. The next entry was a worthy successor, though the series never again reached the second game’s artistic heights. Things looked up in 2014 when Silent Hills was announced through the enigmatic demo P.T. The title, a collaboration between Hideo Kojima and Guillermo del Toro, was tragically canceled by Konami due to their drastic business restructuring. It doesn’t look like a proper Silent Hill follow up will come anytime soon. At least Kojima moved on to release Death Stranding , one of the year’s most unique AAA tit
Meet Destroy All Humans , a game that revolves around controlling an alien and blowing everything to smithereens. Buildings, people, cows, nothing is safe from Crypto. There is a story in each game, but it takes a backseat compared to the ludicrous amounts of fun the game lets you have. You can fling humans to walls, blow up skyscrapers, and use your flying saucer to take out armies of soldiers. The game doesn’t take itself too seriously, which helps with the fun factor. There is a remake for the original title that should release this year, so hopefully, that will generate enough interest to get this series back on people’s radars.
On Sony’s original PlayStation, there were no better platformers than the Crash Bandicoot trilogy. All three games gave everything one desires from the genre: challenge, beautiful art, and rewarding secrets. The next generation wasn’t as kind to the mascot, and he was nearly silent on the PS3 and Xbox
There are pretty much endless rumors about what Rocksteady will wind up releasing next. Word of everything from a Superman game to a Nightwing Arkham City spin-off have made the rounds at this point, but the developer still hasn’t come out and said what it is working on. Fans had anticipated some news during this E3 but had their hopes dashed when Rocksteady Co-Founder and Game Director Sefton Hill stated that the studio would be staying at home in London during E3 to work on the studio’s “next big proje
Fiction’s most famous secret agent has made undeniable contributions to the medium. GoldenEye 007 on the N64 revolutionized the first-person shooter and local multiplayer games. After the 1997 masterpiece, a steady stream of releases came through until 2012 when 007 Legends stopped it all in its tracks. The compilation of famous playable set pieces throughout the franchise was panned as one of the worst first-person shooters in recent memory. Since then, not even murmurs of a new game have popped up. Given the character’s relationship to the medium, he deserves a glorious ret
In the meantime, there haven’t been many rumors about what else Bethesda has in store for fans except for the announcement of new Prey DLC, and a Fallout 3 remaster . Details on what this remaster will entail are scarce, but it will apparently be called Fallout 3 Anniversary and is in development for multiple platforms, including the Nintendo Swi
Fable fans have been waiting quite some time for another entry in the franchise after Fable Legends was canceled by Microsoft. Even then, the canceled game wasn’t exactly what fans were hoping for, as it spun the franchise away from its RPG roots into a co-op direct
Just like Until Dawn featured some Hollywood star power, so too does The Dark Pictures Anthology: Man of Medan , with Shawn Ashmore playing one of the lead roles, alongside Pip Torrens. The first game in a new horror anthology series , The Dark Pictures Anthology: Man of Medan looks to deliver very similar gameplay to Until Dawn , but with a new ghost ship setting and a new cast of characters, it should still feel like a fresh experience when it launches on August
