Not even the most avid fans could defend it. Not only did it signal an end to the franchise for the foreseeable future, but it was also the beginning of the studio’s descent into mediocrity. We’re hoping with all out hearts for BioWare to get back on their f
Seemingly inspired by the likes of Rocket League , Roller Champions is reportedly a derby-themed multiplayer sports game that Ubisoft will reveal at E3. Leaks seem to give this game a solid amount of credibility, but this is still best taken as a rumor. Ubisoft has yet to acknowledge its existence, which could easily be taken one way or another, so tuning into Ubisoft’s E3 2019 press conference is likely the best way to see if this rumor is t
Video games go through the same processes as their popularity grows and wanes. Unlike people, however, they also have a chance for revival. As an acknowledgment of all the franchises that either came or went this decade, the following list will detail five franchises that left the industry and five that came back in full force. The latter entries’ revivals give hope to the former series that they too can one day come back from the d
There has been no official word from Microsoft on their reason for not making mention of the title, despite the knowledge all over that it is indeed in the works. But what we can deduce for now is that they simply weren’t ready.
Perhaps the most unique upcoming horror Kay Vess Gameplay game, Monstrum 2, is a 4v1 multiplayer horror game where players must survive in a procedurally generated labyrinth set in a decaying sea fortress. As a direct sequel to Team Junfish’s 2015’s rogue-lite Monstrum , four players take on the role of survivors and will need to scavenge for supplies and find hidden access routes to important equipment, all while trying to survive from a terrifying lab experiment gone wrong. Think Predator: Hunting Grounds or Evolve but in a procedurally generated environment where the puzzles are always chang
His grand comeback came in 2017 in the form of Crash Bandicoot N. Sane Trilogy , complete remakes of the original three masterpieces. Except for the radical facelift, everything else remained nearly identical to the originals. The Crash train shows no signs of slowing down now, with Crash Team Racing Nitro-Fueled coming out to rave revi
Often, Xbox brands itself with Halo, Forza, and Gears of War, as those are the most recognizable IP that Xbox has in its repertoire. But having a next-gen Fable could go a long way in letting Xbox present itself in a more multifaceted way. A sweeping, open-world fantasy world with Fable ‘s signature cartoony style could help Xbox reach fans of games like Nintendo’s Breath of the Wi
Lionhead Studio’s Fable was the Xbox’s flagship RPG franchise. While infamous for Peter Molyneux’s grand unfulfilled technological promises, it still managed to please legions of Microsoft fans for years throughout the company’s first two consoles. Sadly, the company closed in 2016 , leaving an upcoming title in the series canceled. The franchise’s future is currently up in the air, though Phil Spencer has hinted at a possible comeback several times in recent years. Whatever happens, it probably won’t involve Molyn
A rebooted Fable that returns the franchise to the fantasy world of its first entry allows the developer to turn back the clock on the series for a true reboot. It also helps Fable stay in that Breath of the Wild territory while letting Fable excel with its own unique style and tone for which it is kn
There were rumors that original Fable developer Lionhead Studios was planning to make a Fable 4 that was going to be “R-Rated,” but with Lionhead shuttering and a next-gen Fable assumed to be under development under a completely new developer, none of those previous plans should be assumed about the game that could now be in development. If the next-gen Fable kept its silly, slightly irreverent tone while still making the game lighthearted enough to skew interest from younger players, Xbox could potentially have something in its lineup that appeals to both older fans of the original series and new, young players who enjoy experiences like Breath of the Wi
With no prior announcement, Microsoft surprise-launched the beat ’em up Streets of Rage 4 on Xbox Game Pass. While some may have been concerned that Streets of Rage 4 wouldn’t live up to the legacy of its predecessors, the game has proven any doubters wrong. Streets of Rage 4 reviews have been mostly positive, with fans praising the game’s retro-style local co-op action. Streets of Rage 4 ‘s main story may be a little on the short side, but the game otherwise has a lot of content for fans of the genre to sink their teeth i
Due to the highly-publicized fallout between Hideo Kojima and Konami, Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain came out in a brutally unfinished state. One can see where work stopped on the title’s story and it was rushed out to mar
