If the websites registered for the game are any indication, the next GTA game may be just what fans of lewd humor have been missing. The technical advancements in both of Rockstar’s last titles are sure to be worked into the game, but exactly what kind of animal it will turn out to be is a mystery. A possible leaked release date for the game , and rumored connections to the Wii 2 all point to an announcement of some kind at E3 2011, but we won’t know anything until Rockstar decides to pull back the curt

Fifteen years later, after being integrated into basically every kind of video game, the concept of a simple morality system has gone out of style. While some Adventure Games Patch Notes have been experimenting with a more complex system, such as The Witcher 3 ‘s Geralt being an influential but neutral force in the world, it would be a benefit to Fable 4 to have a similarly deep and complex morality system that goes beyond angel wings and ho

Now that you’ve seen our picks for the Top 5 Most Overhyped Games , what lesson can you take from this? Simple: Don’t raise your expectations too high. Whenever something new is announced, always look at it with an objective eye. You never know if something can meet the high expectations set by smart marketing and eager fans. Keep this in mind as you prepare for the newest items to come out of this business that we follow. Like say, for example, the Wi

There are portions of the game that can be explored deeper, like property customization , but they’re side quests that can completely ignored. Gamers looking for a deep role-playing experience like Mass Effect 2 or Dragon Age will be disappointed with the lack of depth in Fable 3 . But gamers looking for the equivalent of a ‘summer popcorn movie’ will be happy with Lionhead Studios latest offering. Through all of it’s low points, Fable 3 never becomes a chore to p

A special mention goes to Daikatana which was originally on our list but replaced by a more recent overhyped game. List some of the games you’ve played that you felt were disappointing in some way due to overh

For that matter, The Journey’s voice acting and score are both top notch, as is the on-screen performance of Gabriel during cutscenes, his subtly exaggerated features easily communicating a wide range of emotions and clearly reflecting his state of mind. He’s a likable, distinct hero who frankly deserves a better game. Perhaps he’ll get it when Xbox 720 and Kinect 2.0 – with its rumored ability to read lips and recognize emotions – roll around, but for now, there’s just no need to take The Journ

While it would be great to see Albion rendered in 4k, a change of scenery from the European-inspired biomes of so many traditional fantasy RPGs would be welcome. The Coral Forest from the recent Monster Hunter: World is a terrific example of a totally new type of game environment that still feels real and plausible within the confines of the world. Given Fables storybook aesthetic, something similarly creative would be awesome to

4. Final Fantasy XIII
The Final Fantasy series has been through a lot of changes over the years. Starting as the originator in high fantasy and RPGs on this side of the planet, it evolved into a tech-punk sort of story featuring characters with ridiculous hair and equally ridiculous weapons, and has got to the point where no one knows what to expect next. XIII was the first to appear on the current console generation so naturally, fans were hyped, particularly PS3 fans who needed exclusives. But then, the news broke that XIII would be appearing on the Xbox 360 as well. This sounded almost like a death knell for the PS3, and many were saying that if Metal Gear Solid 4 jumped ship as well, the system was finished. Meanwhile, after delay after delay, Final Fantasy XIII was released four years after its announcement at E3 2

Particularly troublesome are “crossover” attacks, in which the player needs to target an enemy on the left side of the screen with his or her right hand, or vice versa. The Journey actually warns players against crossing their arms over themselves, but it is often inescapably necessary. While it’s true that The Journey’s combat controls work much more reliably than its driving controls, that’s cold comfort when it’s all but impossible to accurately target a given enemy, and the player ends up dying as a result. Fortunately, The Journey isn’t particularly difficult, and ample checkpoints ensure that there is never too much of the game to rep

Game Rant has come together to list 5 games that are prime examples of that overhype. Games that, either through the companies promoting them or the fans wanting them, were hyped as the next big thing and in some way, didn’t deliver or meet expectati

With more than a year of development time to work on Splinter Cell 6 , it’s not a far stretch that Ubisoft might be saving it for a surprise reveal during this year’s E3. After all the attention they’ve been giving Assassin’s Creed Revelations over the last month, this would be a big surprise. Gamers no doubt want to know if the game will be returning to its original style of gameplay or if it will retain the darker, grittier, and more fast paced action of Splinter Cell Convicti
