#NEW MMOS 2017 PS4 SERIES#
That makes Yakuza 0-a prequel to the original Yakuza-the perfect entry point for newcomers and an exciting look into the formative years of series mainstays Kazuma Kiryu and Goro Majima. Unlike, say, Grand Theft Auto, the mainline Yakuza games tell one overarching story that spans five games and counting. Given the popularity of open-world games and nostalgia for the not-entirely-dissimilar Shenmue, that's something of a surprise but can be explained in part by how daunting it is to jump into. We're crossing our fingers that its launch remains in February, as we're eager to explore its captivating world to discover the array of secrets found in its beautiful vistas and countrysides.ĭespite being around for more than a decade, Yakuza is a series that's flown under the radar for many people.

The game was initially set to launch in 2016, but it was delayed to 2017 to allow additional time to polish it to better live up to the standards of the studio's previous offerings. In addition, it sports a mechanically rich combat and hunting system, allowing you the ability to methodically set up traps and fire various types of arrows and explosives at the robotic creatures that roam the lands.ĭeveloped by Guerrilla Games-the creators of the Killzone franchise-Horizon: Zero Dawn marks the studio's first new IP in nearly decade. The setting creates an interesting juxtaposition of styles, blending elements of sci-fi and the pre-historic. Ever since then, we've been clamoring to hear more about its protagonist Aloy and her adventures across a post-apocalyptic world dominated by mechanical creatures. Horizon: Zero Dawn's debut at E3 2015 was one of the most memorable moments from the show. We've done our best to wring as much information as possible from the available material, but we may have to wait until closer to Andromeda's March release date to get a real sense for how it plays. We've also seen a glimpse of the game's interstellar map and six-wheeled Nomad vehicle, both of which suggest a slightly more open structure. Recent trailers show Ryder rapidly dashing across great distances during combat, adding a frenetic new pace to the action. The cover-based shooting and planet-hopping exploration return as well, though both have been updated considerably. The alien races, military institutions, and political complications central to the Mass Effect universe return, as do the series' trademark dialogue trees. Even though Andromeda starts fresh-opting for a new setting (the distant Andromeda Galaxy), era (600 years after the end of the previous trilogy), and hero (Ryder, a Pathfinder searching for humanity's new home)-the spirit of the franchise clearly lives on. Now that we have some real, concrete information about the game, however, our hype level is higher than ever. Kingdom Hearts HD 2.Mass Effect: Andromeda's been on our radar ever since it was originally announced back in June of 2015, mainly because the original trilogy is just so damn good.
