It's by far the most impressive piece in the puzzle. Forza should do well but, honestly, I think there is a big of racing sim fatigue at the moment. I think it will be less sought after than Titanfall, at least initially. Killer Instinct won't move systems but it sweetens the package. I hope they advertise it because it looks awesome in terms of the visual style. I'm not feeling Dead Rising 3, though. Zombie fatigue, plus somehow people just don't seem as excited for it as with DR2. I don't think many people will decide one way or another based on this game. When you start talking 2014, though, things begin to tighten up. InFamous: Second Son looks fantastic and we're still waiting on reveals for the other PS4 IP World Wide Studios is working on. I'm also not sure why everyone is assuming Microsoft's ad campaign will blow Sony away, either--wasn't everyone saying the same thing about the console announcements earlier this year? I think it's going to be close. Close at launch, close in 2014, probably close in 2015. |
Both DR3 and Forza 5 gameplay has been altered to provide a more inclusive gaming. DR3 has eliminated the clock and Forza 5 has eliminated the requirement that you start at the bottom. That is to say, all of the tracks are available for you to drive, and all of the cars are available for you to purchase. Your ability to win races will be dependent upon selecting the right track for your car or purchasing the right car for the track.
It'tt be interesting to see how receptive this works out.
