Think Battlefield, without the infantry combat, but playing out on maps the size of some countries. Aircraft carriers, floating anti-air support, air-to-sea bombing raids… the potential is immense. Warships are also on the horizon, and should evolve the game’s scope far beyond what it already promises. And suddenly I was convinced that we could have a Hell of a sleeper hit on our hands here.Īnd it doesn’t stop there. But then I played War Thunder, a PS4 launch game I’d paid very little attention to before. I certainly was before Gamescom this year. If, like me, you’re a hardcore but predominantly console gamer, you might be treating the current claims of a free-to-play revolution on next-gen with a degree of caution. A solution springing from a most unexpected place.
We could have a Hell of a sleeper hit on our hands.īut I might have a solution. Of course, both Xbox One and PS4 have decent launch line-ups (obviously I’m talking “decent for a launch line-up”, as we always must in these instances), but in the latter case, if you don’t like sports games or FPS, and have an irrational dislike of the Ubisoft logo, then you might be straight out of luck. The opening of this new generation will be no different.
Pre-release anticipation slowly tick-tocks you up the track to launch day, leading to full-blown, midnight launch excitement as you hit the top, which then irretrievably descends into awkward deflation once you’ve played your favoured launch titles and settle in for the long wait until the second generation of games turns up.
