| oniyide said: You consider Assassings Creed and Infamous as action platformers??? thats interesting i always consdiered those as open world games. there arent really any stages in AC, just a bunch of missions you do until you unlock more of the world. Not that much different from GTA. Infamous IMHO has more in common with Spider-man 2 than Metroid. We're getting a new AC this year, Infamous 2 is around the corner and Arkham City is not far away, seems like you have an issue with the 2d ones not coming and yeah that kind of is a problem |
The first one is very much a Metroid style game with straight item progression (new item each completed mission) and rewards for exploring outside the main story areas. But yeah, I will admit the sequels have a lot more going on and can be considered anything from Quazi-Sandbox games to freeroaming Adventure games. But since they still build off the item progression/exploration factor of the original.
Assassin Creed II actually improved the reasons for exploring off the main story path by unlocking additional aspects of the story and getting a few extra weapons.
Six upcoming games you should look into:
