Forums - Gaming - Is Next-Gen all about OPEN WORLD GAMES

It don't bother me i like open world games but i don't see them being the dominant type of game. They should only go open world where it is necessary, it won't work with every game.



Xbox Series, PS5 and Switch (+ Many Retro Consoles)

Prediction: Switch 2 will outsell the PS5 by 2030

Around the Network

We may well see an increase in open world games, but I also think there will be plenty of developers making linear games with grander level design. Take the campaign in Killzone: Shadow Fall, still a linear game but with larger environments and the ability to take on multiple objectives in the same area in the order the player wants.

The other thing we may see is normal sized levels with huge levels of interactivity due to the increase in physics simulation.



i hope not

Yes, it's the new fad - just like shooters is today.



I'm on Twitter @DanneSandin!

Furthermore, I think VGChartz should add a "Like"-button.

For the sake of the industry I hope not. Not because I don't like open world games, but because this type of games are known to be expensive to make.

Poor Nintendo. They're going straight from an SD console to HD and open world design. I'm pretty sure the trailer for X said specifically it would be open world, the new Zelda is rumored to be open world...the rest of the industry has had two generations to go through this. Nintendo's doing this in one.

But I'm pretty sure there will be exceptions. Ryse does not look open world.

Open World is a nice aspect that can easily be applied to any genre if done right.


exactly. racing, 3rd person shooter, fps, adventure, puzzle etc...for now it costs much money to make them because of long development and as they develop more titles and new powerful machines arrive it only gets faster ,better and less costly.
