OCH Posted June 5, 2022 Share Posted June 5, 2022 Speaking of which, this technically counts as sci-fi. Since these gods are also robotic.. in some fashion. Asura's Wrath Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shinymcshine Posted June 5, 2022 Share Posted June 5, 2022 Does that weird ending of Fahrenheit make it sci-fi? Then again I guess Detroit must be, and that was pretty great. Otherwise early MD RPGs such as Buck Rogers and Phantasy Star were pretty great (but the latter isn't a series that I kept current with). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HandsomeDead Posted June 5, 2022 Share Posted June 5, 2022 Look what Star Wars has done to sci-fi. Fantasy and sci-fi are similar in they create these near impossible contexts to explore and tell stories but there are a lot of blatant fantasy getting name checked. Call me old fashioned but having magic powered machines and setting it in space doesn't make sci-fi. But lots of aesthetically sci-fi games do dabble in some mysticism. Metroid for example. With a lot of games I like the world's but not playing the games themselves. Deus Ex, Metal Gear I'd say fits in my definition (But it has a touch of supernatural stuff in there too come to think of it). I like FTL and Into the Breach a lot as something to mention outside of the obvious ones. I've just seen it's actually FTL's tenth anniversary this year... I think it would be neat to celebrate that by making a Switch version 😊 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bellow Posted June 5, 2022 Share Posted June 5, 2022 Fookin Nora, I forgot about metroid. I really have moved on from ninty. It's their fault. Change it up a bit for god's sake. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shinymcshine Posted June 5, 2022 Share Posted June 5, 2022 Steamworld Heist was a fantastic turn based strategy game - but it's steampunk 'futuristic/post apocalyptic' albeit space based setting probably illustrates the difficulty as to whether it's classified as Sci-Fi.

OCH Posted June 5, 2022 Share Posted June 5, 2022 Yep, also completely forgot about Metroid. A great sci-fi series (for the most part). Two more obscure ones for me: Ring of Red (PS2) I'd say mech-based games come under Sci-Fi Space Station Silicon Valley (N64) Nothing about this game that wasn't Sci-Fi.

Nag Posted June 12, 2022 Author Share Posted June 12, 2022 Quote Readers discuss what they hope will be at Microsoft’s not-E3 show, as well as other potential events from Nintendo and Sony. The Xbox & Bethesda Showcase is due to take place late on Sunday and, at the moment, is the only confirmed E3 style preview event, beyond a Capcom-only livestream on Monday. So we wanted to know what you were hoping to see revealed and what you expect will actually happen. Most of the letters were written before Thursday evening’s Summer Game Fest, whose reveal of The Last Of Us Part 1 seemed to make a new State of Play seem less likely, but even as the only game in town, few were confident in predicting what Microsoft might or might not show. Slightly outdated question by now but hey ho. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
radiofloyd Posted June 12, 2022 Share Posted June 12, 2022 Starfield and Fable I guess. And Obsidian’s Avowed is surely due a re-appearance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DANGERMAN Posted June 12, 2022 Share Posted June 12, 2022 I guess a proper Fallout game, a 3rd Wolfenstein, and maybe the rumoured Quake reboot, but it's all tinged with the worry of it being locked away. I suppose all those are PC franchises, so MS should put them on Steam Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nag Posted June 19, 2022 Author Share Posted June 19, 2022 For some reason there's no official question again this week so.... Quote Nag says... simple question, if you could strip one gaming series away from its developers and hand it to another what would that series be and to who would you hand it?

OCH Posted June 19, 2022 Share Posted June 19, 2022 Two come to mind. 1)Bloody Roar taken away from Konami and given to Project Soul/Namco. Because Konami. 2)Banjo Kazooie taken from Microsoft and given to Nintendo. Because the Rare that made it are long dead. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DANGERMAN Posted June 19, 2022 Share Posted June 19, 2022 I suppose the obvious one is Silent Hill, but there's been enough rumours it sounds like that might actually be happening Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maf Posted June 19, 2022 Share Posted June 19, 2022 Oh, I would take Sonic from Sonic Team in a heartbeat. Either give the series to the Mania Team, Nintendo or sometimes I think the Burnout developer would be good because they make super high speed action racing games. Just got to put some jumping in it 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mfnick Posted June 19, 2022 Share Posted June 19, 2022 Sonic is a good shout. Generic, easy answer - all Konami properties to anyone else. More specific - Castlevania to Platinum Games (the A team of them specifically). Continue the Lords of Shadow series but better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
