Hmm, after GR2... I don't know. I really like the first one, but the sequel kinda sucked.

I know, hence why they could fix their mistakes with the third game. I'm not begging for it, but if it happens, i'm not gonna complain. I already have something better on the horizon.
Killzone 2 is still a marvel of game development. One of 7th gen’s primary examples of what happens when art and tech are used exceptionally well within the constraints of the given hardware.
Another one I found that goes even deeper -
So much untapped potential abandoned.

Epic Games, which has their own "Steam" like service and PC application gives free games away every Thursday, 11 AM. Except this time of year. I think today marks the 1st of some 10 days of daily free games. Today is Vampire Survivors.
Another game in some 20 hours.

I still had a good amount of fun with it, but they were trying to chase the CoD style of gameplay with this one and it made for a sequel that still looked and sounded incredible but lost some of its unique identity. The story was also a mess as stated, but the upside is a nicer variety of environments to shoot your way through.
Agreed. Was really expecting more from this even though it was a launch title. Merely having an awesome soundtrack, some good visuals and a couple minor gameplay improvements wasn’t enough. Resistance was done much better as a PS3 launch title all things considered.

The ending tho. The feels.
Goodbye Team Fortress. You are the greatest of all time. TF2 is actually still going, this is more my personal farewell.

Ubisoft's naval online game looks like it's staying afloat for now, but the numbers don't look good.

My bet is that they are keeping this game alive because of some sort of contract with Singapore government. This is the only live service game that Ubi-shit had any sort of government funding. If they take it down too soon, it's gonan be even a bigger loss for them.
It's also the only live-service that didn't get the axe after short-term.
This makes me question why the Singapore government decided to work with them in the first place.
Because someone or several people at the top bought into the infinite growth/revenue fairy tale like a lot of the other rich jackasses.

Marvel Rivals Dev Says Hero Shooters Need a Really Strong Hook to Convince Fans to Ditch the Game They’re Already Playing - IGN
The director of Marvel Rivals has discussed the difficulty of successfully entering the packed hero shooter market, pointing to failures like Concord as evidence of the increasing need to have a strong hook that helps convince players to ditch the game they're already invested in for something new.
This is like the basic 101 for any project deliverables. You want your thing to be a real headturner and pique people's interest.
It's quite saddening that such basic principle is being forgotten. Particularly for that OTHER HERO SHOOTER which completely ditched it and was hostile towards critics and reception

There seem to be a lot of developers who need to be reminded of this. They seem to think "If we just clone X, then X's audience will come to us".Marvel Rivals Dev Says Hero Shooters Need a Really Strong Hook to Convince Fans to Ditch the Game They’re Already Playing - IGN

It's funny how most of the indies chose to do the opposite of AAAs, or makes their games at least fun, if doing a clone, and always come out on top.
It is easy to say this when your hero shooter clone is piggybacking off the most popular characters in nerd history. Concord would have been fine if it was pokemon based or some shit too.
Possibly. Rivals seems to be doing well, and granted I haven't played it, but after a look around, I'm having a hard time pinning down what it does to really differentiate itself other than featuring Marvel characters. Maybe that's enough of a hook to give it legs, but I dunno, seems kinda shaky ground. Guess time will tell.
To quote Pat: "This game is as closest we're gonna get to Anarchy Reigns 2 or Marvel vs Capcom 4 (for now)". The battle passes are forever and not on any limited time. Also, you don't have to registered at some dumb website just to play the game or unique store page. You just go in and play; that's it.

You know what also helps a ton? The game being free.
It's much easier to try out a new game when it's free versus when it costs 40 or so bucks.
