Story of the gaming world. Money talks. Games can suck hard but if advertised enough and it made enough sales, it sure as hell is getting a sequel. No Man's Sky I think is gearing up for a sequel, and it was universally panned by critics and games alike. It's not about putting out a good product anymore. It's about making a profit - the less work, the better.I've always thought it a shame we never got a Metal Storm 2. It was a little known game on the NES that took creative advantage of the primitive layering system to create parallax scrolling and introduced a gravity mechanic to the run n' shoot genre. You were able to reverse gravity so you could walk on the ceiling. I suppose it just didn't sell well, which is a shame because it would have been great to see what new tricks and traps came from these novel movement mechanics from a studio who had the opportunity to learn from making the first one. It was brutally hard, but nes hard and not "cheap" hard.
I love the flash series! I agree with you a game based on the character would be amazing. I would love if it was a story based game and not a superhero action fighting game. Just thinking about the possibilities of playing different time lines as side-missions gives me the chills.Hope you guys have watched The Flash series. Seriously I want to see a game on that. Just imagine the speed, those opponent will be tough as in the movie..
This might be a little out there, but if any of you are familiar with the TV series STRANGER THINGS, I would love to see a game based upon that. There is an interdimensional and government conspiracy element to this program which I think, with the right designers, could make for a very intriguing gaming experience. The heroes are primarily children in the first season, but they are growing up as we approach Season Two, and that might create an interesting dynamic. Also, the parallel dimension in the TV series could be fully developed into a pretty cool exploration platform.
