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
Finally, there's multiplayer. Genshin Impact features a cooperative multiplayer experience that simply doesn't exist in Breath of the Wild . While Genshin players can play the game in its entirety in either solo or co-op , multiplayer gives players the opportunity to adventure with friends across the vast land of Teyvat and take on bosses in an MMO-like experience. And while many players wish they could play as the four Champions in Breath of the Wild and explore Hyrule together, the opportunity doesn't ex
There are a few caveats to the list. Like previous years, certain developers are plagued by massive backlogs or simply aren't up to date with what the rest of the industry is releasing. Others may have simply interpreted the question as related to the best games they played in 2017. So there are a few that voted for older games, which you'll see in the ranking. Apparently, the SNES Classic Mini was also considered a "game" by quite a
Since we're talking about a complete different market, you should not be surprised to see a lot of unfamiliar mobile games in the list. Japanese developers are busy, so small mobile timewasters do tend to fit their lifest
DualShockers will be sure to keep you updated on the status of the PS4 version of The Elder Scrolls: Legends . The game is currently available on iOS, Android, and PC, and is coming to (hopefully) PS4, Xbox One, and Nintendo Switch later in 2
With Apex Legends on track to earn $1 Billion for EA by 2021, it is unlikely that the company stops pushing and supporting the game anytime soon. If there is a gaming platform released without Apex Legends playable on it, it is a safe bet that it will not remain that way for l
He starts off by talking about Fallout 76, and how cross-play would be a nice feature for that game, but isn't required. He then moves onto The Elder Scrolls: Legends and describes how it is pivotal to the experience. The game is supposed to carry over progression from platform to platform and even allows players to switch between them mid-game. Pete Hines believes that only a "bad situation" will arise if Bethesda decided to segment the game's player b
While Teyvat may have, in many ways, been inspired by real life cultures and governments, plenty of work was put into developing the world. Every time the creators of that world make a decision on a piece of lore, no matter the size, they have to ask themselves the question that players might ask: "But why?" They must come up with an answer to this question for every storytelling device they conceive. And miHoYo has done this on a massive scale in one game versus the many entries it took Nintendo to establish Hyrule in Zelda . So by saying that Genshin Impact is just a Breath of the Wild knockoff or clone , it could diminish the work the developer put into crafting this unique l
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
Although Genshin Impact is similar to Breath of the Wild , it seems clear that these games accomplish very different goals. It's the same reason why someone wouldn't say Call of Duty: Modern Warfare is like Doom Eternal . Yes, they're both first-person shooter games, but that's about where the similarities end. And by saying Genshin Impact is like Breath of the Wild , it obfuscates the hard work that was put into the g
It's the end Arena of Valor Skins the year, and it's time for rankings and awards. The latest issue of Weekly Famitsu prompted a hundred Japanese developers and industry personalities to rank their favorite games of 2017, and here you can find a translation of the full top 100. Yeah, that's a lot of titles to transl
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
The push that Nintendo is making with mobile titles and their flourishing partnership with mobile port providers, DeNA, are promising signs that fans will see a Legend of Zelda mobile title at some point in the future. How far into the future still remains uncertain, but with the focus being put on craze-worthy franchises such as Pokémon and Super Mario, The Zelda franchise fits rights in. Who knows, fingers crossed for a Zelda title in 2020's mobile line
