The very first shot in the ARK 2 reveal trailer shows an exotic looking flower only to reveal that it is fact some kind of dinosaur. Its long nose looks like a flower just before it blooms, and it is apparently capable of opening its snout to camouflage with other nearby flowers. After it closes the flower on its nose, viewers can see more of the creature's face, revealing chameleon like eyes and a lizard like body. Its tail and back spines are also made to look like leaves, ensuring that nothing can recognize it as an ani
Final Fantasy XIII had to deal with a ton of controversy on its release. Very linear gameplay and a problematic fighting system hurt the appeal of the game, while its story also failed to deliver. Despite the criticism, there are loyal fans who fiercely defend it. In the end though, FFXIII , followed by the disappointing MMO FFXIV have caused some to wonder if Final Fantasy as a series can survive in today's gaming mar
Thus, Yoshi was born - a green-skinned, tongue-launching dinosaur possessing a saddle perfect for adventuring plumbers... and a pair of boots we still can't quite explain. With his pet Yoshi, Mario became more durable than ever, and a permanent character was added to his franchise's ros
However, in the last few months, rumors have been swirling about a long-awaited return to form for the oddball, extremely British franchise. While no official announcement has been made, there are rumblings all over the internet about a new Fable being in development. Whether this will officially be Fable 4 , a reboot, a remake, or some kind of spin-off, is all unclear. What I've put together is a list of the wishes that have been flying around over the last half year. Since the cancellation of Fable: Legends , a lot of these rumors have gone into overdr
Chances are you've heard this scenario before: a new game is announced at a big event like E3 or PAX. You're told what the game will contain and you're instantly excited. Time passes and more information is released, increasing your excitement, and fan theories stir the interest even more. Finally, perhaps after a delay or two, the game is released, but it ultimately fails to live up to your expectati
Game Rant has come together to list 5 games that are prime examples of that overhype. Adventure games DLC that, either through the companies promoting them or the fans wanting them, were hyped as the next big thing and in some way, didn't deliver or meet expectati
Accessibility in the video games industry boomed massively in 2020. We saw Ubisoft , Naughty Dog , and other studios both big and small making efforts to allow more players to play their games. Xbox has done a great job in creating accessible experiences for players , and also has a huge focus on the tagline "When everyone plays, we all win". With Playground Games being under the Xbox Game Studios umbrella, I'm hoping we'll see a wealth of accessibility features done w
Pikachu may pack a more shocking punch than his adorable coloring and facial features would imply, but there's no denying that his personality, not his lethality, is what makes him the ideal representative of Nintendo's franchise based almost solely on acquiring p
Regardless of how the story and setting would go, I think Jack of Blades would be able to harness some form of evil powers to return once again and cause havoc in the world. Whether the player takes on the role of a new hero or even having some ties to the hero from the first game could obviously result in good old Jacko wanting to seek revenge before looking to unleash h
One wouldn't think that a video game series shaped around a silent hero and theoretical physics to be best known for its characters , but as is usually the case, when Valve gets around to making a game they tend to make history as well. Such is the case with 'D
In Final Fantasy II , players could saddle up and take a trip not on horses, but 'Chocobos'; large, birds capable of sprinting at impressive speeds. The creatures were used primarily as a gameplay conceit to begin with, but soon became so embraced by fans, the feathered pets became a staple of the ser
A new story with personal stakes similar to the sibling revenge plot of Fable 2 or the deposed prince tale of Fable 3 but greatly expanded with a larger number of supporting characters would be huge. Plus, think of all the new tech they could pour into your
The most iconic dinosaur of all , it should come as no surprise that the T-Rex is making its return and had a big spotlight in the trailer. Called just "Rex" in the first game, the T-Rex in the trailer looks to be slightly larger and equally as clumsy. It also features some stylish furs on its neck and along its spine, perhaps in an effort to create a more realistic representation of the beast. That said, scientists still don't know exactly what the king of dinosaurs would have looked like, so this is still just a best gu
