10 Times Marketing Spoiled PS4 Games

10 Times Marketing Spoiled PS4 Games

Geralt refers to the unicorn that he finds inside of the realm as Roach , the name for his horse in the main game. This is a peculiar occurrence since this unicorn has just met Geralt and does not have any n

There are a bunch of fairy tales to be found inside of the Land of a Thousand Fables, including Little Red Riding Hood and Thumbelina, among others. This is especially strange, and fans wonder why this is the case since the Land of a Thousand Fables is such a small sp

This is another one for the slow players who weren't caught up, but a little harsher. Given that the remastered version came out just one year after the initial release, players that were picking it up on this marketing cycle got shafted big time. And fans will gladly mention how easy it is to spoil many plot points in The Last of

The difference between Fable and The Elder Scrolls, though, is that The Elder Scrolls hasn't gone anywhere. Even though there hasn't been a numbered single-player entry in The Elder Scrolls in ten years, Skyrim alone is so unbelievably successful that Bethesda hasn't needed to release a new game. Skyrim just keeps coming back and delivering every time. The success of The Elder Scrolls: Online should also be noted. Even though the main games haven't been updated beyond a deluge of Skyrim remasters, The Elder Scrolls is going str

Fable 's reboot seems like it was a long time coming. There hasn't been a new core installment in the Fable franchise since 2010, which is an awfully long drought. Technically, Fable Fortune is the most recent installment in the franchise, but unfortunate the digital trading card COVID-19 Game Development from 2017 has since been shut down. There really isn't any more representation for Fable out there anymore. Thankfully, Fable has found a new home in the hands of Playground Games since Lionhead Games' closure. Rumors floated around about a franchise revival for a couple years, but now fans know for sure that a reboot is com

It is disappointing for fans that Fable did not make an appearance at this year's E3 , but hopefully, fans will receive some official news soon. There are a lot of questions surrounding the mysterious new revival of the series and it is under tremendous pressure to bring Fable back in a big way for modern audiences. The team at Playground Games is immensely talented, however, and definitely has the ability to deliver something great for fans and new players al

Following Hideo Kojima's messy split from Konami, Sony reached out to the legendary game designer to help fund a brand new project called Death Stranding . The bizarre Death Stranding earned mixed reviews at the time of its release, with not everyone completely sold on its unique gameplay mechanics, though Kojima believes that the game is the start of a brand new genre. While Death Stranding may be an acquired taste, it is undeniably one of the more significant games that ever released for the PS4. And if a Death Stranding sequel is in the works as rumored, the original being added to the PlayStation Plus Collection would help fans catch up on the st

While Journey has since made its way to other platforms, the game was once PlayStation-exclusive , and one of the most critically-acclaimed games on the PS3. An enhanced port of Journey was released on the PlayStation 4 that upped the visuals and performance, making it the definitive way to experience the game. One of Journey 's most unique features is how it implements "co-op," and the further we get away from the release date, the less likely players will be able to experience that aspect of the game. Adding Journey to the PlayStation Plus Collection lineup could give its co-op a shot in the arm and help a new generation of gamers see what it's all ab

Now the question is when the Fable reboot will release . Playground Games has shown almost nothing about the game since it was officially revealed, and so Fable 's state of development is mostly up to conjecture. It's entirely possible that Fable won't be out for a great many years, which would be an awful disappointment for fans. Seeing as the community has waited a decade for a new mainline Fable game, fans aren't exactly eager to wait another two to three years for Fable to come out. Unfortunately, between Fable 's mysterious status and Microsoft's new habit of early announcements, it could be a long time before Fable comes

Considering how important it is that Fable releases on time, it's interesting to compare its theoretical release schedule to some other games. The best possible example is The Elder Scrolls 6, which Bethesda says won't release for many years. That makes it strange and surprising that Bethesda took the time to confirm the game already. Sitting on the public knowledge of The Elder Scrolls 6 without addressing it at all seems like a surefire way to make fans impatient for n

Ideally, that won't slow the game down too much. Playground Games isn't a big enough studio to have a ton of projects to manage at a time, so it'll ideally be pretty focused on releasing Fable on time. On the other hand, if it's going to be more than a year or two before Fable comes out, then it seems like the game should've stayed a secret for now. Fable 's drought has been so difficult and protracted that it needs to come out soon and hit the ground running. It's facing too much competition from other fantasy RPGs to linger in a long development and make its fans anxi
