Okay so I'll finally add my own predictions for April.


  • Quantum Break - 81
  • Ratchet & Clank - 80
  • Dark Souls III -  89
Souls series has been recieved very well with the past few installments and seemingly only doing better and better, but the big concern is if it will suffer from series fatigue, since it does look/feel/play a lot like the previous games. Also this will be the 4th FromSoftware game of this kind in 3 years, and doesn't even use a different approach like Bloodbourne did. Game will be great, just a question of whether or not it will be criticised for being more of the same and not innovating enough.

Ratchet & Clank used to get criticised already on PS3 for being more of the same, and with this being an actual remake, same concerns will apply to an even greater extent. The games' structure also seems a bit outdated by modern standards. Other than that it will look very pretty, run well, raise some nostalgia, and will be a polished experience for 2/3 of the price.

On Quantum Break I'm just going off a personal feeling from seeing some of the gameplay. Despite the whole somewhat innovative time mechanic, the gameplay itself doesn't look very innovative, and the shooting aspects don't seem as polished despite there being some great ideas. Overall it will get praise for trying new things, but criticism for a lack of execution.


Quantum Break - 86
Ratchet & Clank - 83
Dark Souls III - 89 (I expect it will be better than BB overall, but score lower due to some not liking that it's not BB).



Damn, how was I so wrong on QB? That's disappointing.

Well on this thread everyone was wrong with Quantum Break, and everyone predicted it higher than it would actually get. From 14 people, no one predicted 80 or below, and the lowest predictions here were 81 (Me and Shikamo).

Was initially thinking 80 but the overwhelmingly large amount of very optimistic predictions influenced me to put it 1 point higher. Sure some others felt the same way and just followed the majority and the hype.

I am glad we were all wrong as otherwise the leaderboards would have been quite crowded seeing how many similar predictions there are here. (And ultimately come down to +/- 1 on someones' prediction. Now there's quite a lot of minus points already.

I for one deliberately didn't review the predictions of others in the thread so that I would not be influenced in that way. I was basing my prediction on the limited amount of actual first hand impressions, all of which seemed to be very positive. Though perhaps some of these first impressions were coming more from PR circles than from objective gamer / critic circles, which of course will create a more positive impression than perhaps would finally eventuate in the form of reviewer reception.

I forgot about a UC4 prediction. I'll give it a 91.
