I have been watching let's plays of Halo Infinite and just saw the news about Sonic. It appears a lot of games are going to be trying for the Breath of the Wild style open world, but with the classic game of their own games. I think this is great. My biggest fear is people will try to mimic bad Ubisoft ideas like I've seen in HI.
What games would you like to see go BotW? I personally want to see Castlevania, or something like it. Of course Castlevania anything would be nice. I have similar feelings about Goemon.
I think Metroid would be a good fit. I've heard Metroid Prime 4 might actually do that.
It looks like Bowser's Fury is pointing in that direction for the next Mario Bros.
Phantasy Star would be amazing.
Those are my ideas, what are yours?
Botw styled game? So just your standard open world game and i hope this doesn't become a thing like how every kind of hard game is called souls like
You mean open world? Why the reference to BotW?
It's a specific style of Open World. GTA is open world, but it's story structure is very different.
So if we're going to start calling all Open World games "BotW Style", then when can we admit that BotW is just an Assassin's Creed Rip-off in a Zelda skin? Fanboy hate in 3...2.....
(Btw, I'm currently playing BotW for the first time, and I love it).
It's the best Open World game I've played.
What I enjoyed most about BotW's open world format was the feeling of discovery. Instead of following missions markers around, you sort of came upon things naturally.
You need to play Morrowind if you haven't already.
It's one of those games that's been on my list for years.
I think I just keep putting it off because I know what kind of time investment I'm in for. Waiting until I break both my legs and have no excuse. ;-)
Probably because players in the Nintendo eco system never had things like that which have existed for decade on other systems.
I know it's not the same style, but Rockfish have said that they're going open world with Everspace 2, which I'm really excited for. If they ever actually release it.
That would be a lot of fun.
Not all games need to be open-world. I personally don't think it works for Halo. I enjoyed the focus of the originals, and now I'm spending hours traversing an empty landscape hunting for upgrades.
That's sort of my fear, too much Ubisoft. When I saw how they show the map I got worried.
That's my stance. Don't try to stick existing series into the open world format like a gimmick. I do like some open world games, but I'm not sure we need more of them.
Sega already made that. And it sucks.
Phantasy Star hasn't been good since SEGA Genesis. (OldManYellsAtCloud.jpg)
Yeah, PS Online but good is also a nice description.
I would like to see some open world reboots / sequels of older games like Ape Escape, Bomberman Hero, and Mega Man Legends.
Mega Man Legends would need a new control set up, but would be awesome.
