This time around, Famitsu simply asked its readers to vote their favorite game of all time, without any restriction of release date, genre, or platform. In addition to the readers, the magazine's own editorial staff, and a sizable panel of celebrities and game developers were asked to vote. Of course, everyone's votes counted the s
In Breath of the Wild , players take on the role of Link, the tried and true protagonist of the Zelda franchise. Players have grown to know Link and his trials and tribulations over the past 34 years. As such, everyone knows Link is a mute, blank slate of a protagonist that must save the land of Hyrule through the power of cour
Genshin Impact 's world seems both foreign and familiar in the same breath. The world of Teyvat hasn't been explored in other games like Hyrule has over the past 34 years , but seems like it's existed for a millennia. This might have to do with Genshin Impact using real world nations as inspiration for the regions found within the game, such as Liyue being based on China or Snezhnaya with Russia. Each region has its own Archon with godlike power and overarching political structure, and is accompanied by a seemingly endless amount of l
If the beginning of 2018 has taught us anything, it's that Dragon Ball Z can deliver a fantastic tournament fighter if it wants to. The high-octane fighting the franchise is known for lending itself well to the fighting genre and the next step for these otherworldly characters to test their power levels will be on the small screen in Dragon Ball Legends. Smartphones and tablets have become incredibly popular gaming platforms, though the nature of the touch controls seem like an unusual instrument for carrying out combos. After experiencing Dragon Ball FighterZ, it's only natural to have some skepticism about the format transferring to the small screen, but given Bandai Namco's recent track record, this title deserves to be examined with an open mind.
Wilson didn’t play coy in revealing to investors his intentions for their new property’s mobile port: it’s mostly for Asian markets. Much like Diablo Immortal , while it probably won’t do all that well state-side, EA stands to make quite a respectable chunk of change overseas where mobile games of this caliber are much more in demand. It’s hard to know what’s to come of Respawn’s newest game, but, for the moment, the future looks promis
Unsurprisingly, Persona 5 also won its own category (RPG) when Famitsu did a survey about that, Dragon Quest III also ranked second then, but Chrono Trigger , that ranked third, fared worse in this survey. NieR: Automata , on the other hand, held fast in 4th place in both surv
Yet, in their bid to be in the hands of as many players as possible, EA may stretch their new property too far. It doesn’t take a genius to recognize that the mobile versions of both of the previously mentioned battle royale giants are relatively sub-par when compared to their console counterparts, and rushing such an ambitious port to market may be detrimental to the title’s overall qual
Though the title is already available on PC, Xbox One, and PS4, EA has already hinted at a possible mobile port coming in the near future. In EA’s Q3 2019 earnings call, which took place on the 5th of February, CEO Andrew Wilson emphasized the virtues of their new experie
Dropping almost out of the blue on Electronic Art’s Origin platform last Monday, Respawn Entertainment’s Apex Legends has picked up an incredible amount of steam in the few days it’s been available for download. In a space seemingly cluttered with dime-a-dozen Fortnite wannabes, EA’s new title, which is set in the Titanfall universe, is proving to be a legitimate contender in the extremely competitive battle royale Arena of Valor mobile Guide. Time will tell if it manages to maintain a sizable player-base, but, for the moment, it certainly has everyone’s attent
Trying to imagine carrying out the intricate controls most 2D fighters require for special moves and complex combos is mildly perplexing, but Dragon Ball Legends employs a more simplistic approach. The player is able to dodge attacks and move about the screen by the use of a virtual thumbstick on the touch screen and attack by tapping on different attack cards. It sounds a bit strange to use a card based system for something as frenetic as a Dragon Ball Z face off, but surprisingly this approach works quite well.
Whatever they say, we will continue to have a conversation with any platform directly. I don't want to play this out in the court of public opinion. We respect Sony, we respect Microsoft, we respect Nintendo. If I or my company has an issue, we will bring it up with them directly; we know who to call, we know who to email - we'll talk to them and see if we can figure it o
As you probably noticed, the recently-released and extremely successful Dragon Quest XI does not appear in the ranking, and that's easily explained. It released in Japan on July 29th, over a week after the end of the survey. Due to that unfortunate timing, we won't be able to know how it would fare against Persona 5 for a wh
