After years of games with a multiplayer focus, 2017 saw some very high-profile releases that put a strong emphasis on story-driven, single payer games that garnered a lot of critical acclaim and, crucially, also sold very well. Big, high-risk adventure games collectibles like Horizon: Zero Dawn, Breath of the Wild, Super Mario Odyssey, and Assassin's Creed: Origins didn't have a multiplayer component at all. Even a huge first-person shooter like Wolfenstein: The New Colossus was single-player o
The very first shot in the ARK 2 reveal trailer shows an exotic looking flower only to reveal that it is fact some kind of dinosaur. Its long nose looks like a flower just before it blooms, and it is apparently capable of opening its snout to camouflage with other nearby flowers. After it closes the flower on its nose, viewers can see more of the creature's face, revealing chameleon like eyes and a lizard like body. Its tail and back spines are also made to look like leaves, ensuring that nothing can recognize it as an ani
Despite not living up to some of the promises made by Peter Molyneux during its production, Fable is a great RPG and one of the standout Xbox titles. The freedom to play as a virtuous hero or a vile hellion is reason enough to play through this title twice and as short as the main quest is, that isn't nearly as demanding of a request as it would be with some other RPGs. A year later Fable: The Lost Chapters was released which featured an additional chapter with a new area and enemies at the end of the game along with some additional side quests and minor features. For the tenth anniversary an updated version of Fable: The Lost Chapters was released as Fable Anniversary for Xbox 360, which was a bug riddled mess on its initial release. It has been improved somewhat through patches but playing Fable: The Lost Chapters on the original Xbox is the recommended way to go if at all possible, though any RPG fan should experience this title in some capacity, even if Fable Anniversary is the most realistic option. Fable II was a well done follow up and the less said about Fable III the better.
However, in the last few months, rumors have been swirling about a long-awaited return to form for the oddball, extremely British franchise. While no official announcement has been made, there are rumblings all over the internet about a new Fable being in development. Whether this will officially be Fable 4 , a reboot, a remake, or some kind of spin-off, is all unclear. What I've put together is a list of the wishes that have been flying around over the last half year. Since the cancellation of Fable: Legends , a lot of these rumors have gone into overdr
This is more of a conjectural statement based on current market trends and the history of the franchise than anything I've specifically read, but it's safe to say that a new, full-blown Fable game will have an enormous scope. Even the original Fable , released way back in 2004, had an enormous gameworld by the standards of the time, rivaling even the Elder Scrolls games, maybe not in landmass, but in how much stuff there was to
As Mega Man has come to represent an entire genre of video game, it stands to reason that the developers at Capcom would recognize that the title character's dog would need to be similarly groundbreak
Project Ego sounded like nothing I had played before. Being able to pick and choose which quests to take wasn't exactly groundbreaking, but the idea of the game taking place across the character's lifetime was intriguing. There was talk about how the character would be designed and uniquely tailored to the player's gameplay and they would be able to have children that would have a significant impact in the world. The character would receive unique scars from battle, they could plant a sapling and watch it grow in a massive tree throughout the course of the game and the NPCs would have unique reactions to the player based on their deeds to create the sense of a living world the player was truly a part of.
ARK 2 was recently announced at The Game Awards, and while most players are just surprised and bewildered at Vin Diesel's inclusion in the trailer, the trailer did show off a few of the iconic dinosaurs that will be returning for the sequel. The original ARK is all about taming dinosaurs and using them to make surviving on the Island easier, so it shouldn't be that shocking that fans of the franchise want to know what dinosaurs will be in the game. The trailer didn't confirm too many yet, but there are some that are easy to miss after watching the trailer just o
While the titular Blood Dragons that populated the environments of this Far Cry 3 expansion(?) were seriously lethal, they were no match for the robotic version players were allowed to pilot into the game's cli
Officially titled the 'Battle Armored Dragon Assault Strike System' (B.A.D.A.S.S.) the creature puts his brethren to shame. Equipped with a 'Terror 4000 Cannon' and titanium plating, the dragon is as invincible as any child of the 1980s could imagine it to
