Top 15 Video Games With Immense Potential That Ultimately Disappointed
We’ve seen games that were overhyped and failed to deliver, we’ve seen games that were technical nightmares, we’ve seen games that had no real story and we’ve seen games that just broke our hearts with how bad/boring the were. So here’s a Top 15 list of games that disappointed us for one reason or another. [interaction id=”5963780bf7ddd65e0bce104e”] Final Fantasy XV Even after a long development cycle and major improvements in gameplay and visuals, the overall final experience was ultimately disappointing. While individual battles and encounters were enjoyable, the game never delivered the sense of epic wonder and magic that Final Fantasy games usually do. Metal Gear Solid V The first hour of Metal Gear Solid V was pure Kojima madness, and I really...
No Way Anthem Looks This Great At Launch, Downgrade Imminent
I know I wasn’t the only one blown away by how amazing Anthem’s trailer looked the Microsoft Press Conference during E3 2017. Running on the Xbox One X, the game looked visually stunning and the gameplay seemed really tight and snappy. The third person shooting, abilities, and the traversal gave off the sense that this might be the game that can give Destiny some tough competition. And with Bioware’s storytelling prowess, Anthem might actually deliver on Destiny’s original promise. [interaction id=”59632fb1f7ddd65e0bce0ed6″] However, the game looks poised for an imminent downgrade. Even with Bioware’s experience with the Frostbite engine, the trailer looked heavily directed and tailored to show the game at its best. While I do want to be hopeful th...
Metro Exodus: The Game That Was Impossible
Ever Since Metro Last Light, fans have been itching to play more Metro games. With the announcement of ARTIKA.1 by 4A Games, people thought that another Metro game would be ways away but then came E3 and 4A games dropped the bomb on us and announced Metro Exodus. 4A Games said that the game was kept top secret because they weren’t sure if it would be possible to make the game. They’ve kept up with AAA titles even though they’re a small studio and wanted to do better going forward which is why they kept Metro Exodus a secret for such a long time until they were sure that could deliver.

Hindu Leaders Ask Naughty Dog To Be Respectful Of Religious Sentiments In Uncharted Lost Legacy
The Uncharted 4’s expansion ‘Uncharted:The Lost Legacy’ has received a statement from Rajan Zed, the President of Universal Society of Hinduism. While he welcomed the exploration of Hinduism and it’s beliefs in Video Games and other medium, he also expressed concerns about it being taken lightly and not given due respect. The statement says: [interaction id=”595f4aeaf7ddd65e0bce080d”] “Refashioning of Hinduism scriptures, symbols, traditions, concepts and deities for mercantile greed was likely to hurt the sentiments of devotees; and misrepresentation created confusion among non-Hindus about Hinduism,” reads the statement. “Insensitive handling of faith traditions sometimes resulted in pillaging serious spiritual doctrines and revered symbols.” As the ga...
PlayStation 5 To Launch In 2019, Will Run Games At 240FPS?
Gamingbolt recently spoke to Wedbush Securities analyst Michael Pachter, and asked him about the successor to the PS4. Pachter believes that the PS5 will be backward compatible with PS4 Pro (which also means that it will play base PS4 games) and it will probably release in 2019. He goes on to say: [interaction id=”595f3dd0f7ddd65e0bce07d9″] “I really like Shawn and I don’t think he is attempting to mislead anybody. The PlayStation 4 Pro is better [from a technical perspective] than the PS4, so I think that’s a half step towards the PlayStation 5. I think the PS5 will be another half step. So he is being honest when he said he is not doing a half step but the PlayStation 5…how much faster can it be? It will surely support 4K. Will it support 240 frames per second? Great. W...
