Top 5 Upcoming RPGS of 2017: November
Oct. 30, 2017TheComradesDLCforFinal Fantasy XVis a semi-standalone experience that allows players to create their own character and team up with other players to complete missions in a fashion similar to Capcom’sMonster Hunter. Character customization is fairly standard, though somewhat deep, as you can pick your hairstyle and clothes and change the colors of almost every part of them.
Controlling your character is very similar toNoctisin the base game; you can jump, dodge roll, combo attacks, use four weapons, and warp strike just like Noctis. The biggest difference is in magic and items and the way they are handled, however, player interaction is pretty standard and you can split up to divide up the enemy, use small quotes and emoticons to communicate, and revive each other. Players left on their own for a bit will auto-revive, so leading the enemy away from them is very useful.
Bandai Namco’s upcoming remaster of their PlayStation 2.hack//G.U.ARPG trilogy, titled:.hack//G.U. Last Recodeis just days away. The game focuses on a player named Haseo who hunts a player nicknamed Tri-Edge in a fictitious online MMO called The World. Players in “real life” are falling into comas due to AIDA, a mysterious computer anomaly that infects the characters.
This upcoming remaster includes all three original.hack//G.U.titles, which have been fully restored and remastered, as well as a brand new fourth installment. It also has graphically enhanced gameplay and cut scenes now in 1080p and 60fps as well as enhanced battle balance and game pacing to provide an optimal experience for new and old fans alike.
Star Ocean: The Last Hopeis the fourth installment to theStar Oceanseries, and was originally launched for the Xbox 360 in 2009. It was re-released a year later for the PS3 asStar Ocean: The Last Hope ‘International’,with both English and Japanese voices as well as new content.
The Last Hope is a prequel to the original Star Ocean, where the world is on the edge of collapse. During a 3rd World War, Weapons of Mass Destruction were utilized by warring factions without restraint, decimating Earth. The deterioration of the planet’s surface lead to the formation of underground cities and a new government.
The remaster introduces upgrades the originals’ graphics and performance, and is planned to be launched for the PS4 and PC platforms, with each version having its own set of features:
DeveloperDeck 13 Interactiveannounced in September that a sizeable DLC is coming to theirDark Soulslike sci-fi action-RPG,The Surge. The upcomingDLCtitled, “A Walk in the Park“ will be set in an amusement park that’s tied to theCreomega-factoryfrom the main game.
The new expansion forThe Surgehas roughlyfour hoursof content and will also include a free weapons pack. Players will have two access points to the amusement park to choose from; either by entering from theProduction Line areaat the start of the game, or through theResearch and Developmentareamuch later on. Although no official date has been set, we have it on pretty good authority we will see this DLC drop shortly.
The Elder Scrolls Online’s next major Update: Clockwork City is coming to PS4 and Xbox One in just a few days (with PC players having already received it earlier last week). The Clockwork City is aDLCgame pack that will be available free to allESO Plusmembers and for purchase from the in-game Crown Store.
In the Clockwork City DLC game pack, you can enter Sotha Sil’s legendary creation and explore his mysterious mechanical world. The Clockwork City will also come with a newTrialfor large, 12-player groups: theAsylum Sanctorium. An eerie clockwork sanitarium, theAsylum Sanctoriumis a shorter Trial experience that pits your team against three mechanical bosses and promises to reward you withpowerful Asylum Weapons.
In addition to the DLC game pack, Update 16 brings a free base game update that includes: the much neededTransmutation System, a newBattlegroundsgame mode (accessible toESO: Morrowindowners only), Xbox One X support, and a host of additional base game fixes, updates, and additions. Needless to say we are really looking forward to this.
At the beginning of the month, developer Team Ninja made the surprise announcement that their highly praised samurai-souls action-RPG:Nioh,is making its way to PC digitally through Steam, along with a couple of perks included onNovember 7th. The PC version will be receiving thepreviously revealed,Nioh: Complete Edition, which contains the base game and all three of the previously releasedDLCincluding:“Dragon of the North“,“Defiant Honor“, and the latest“Bloodshed’s End“.
The PC version will also have two of the threeVisual Modesfound on the PlayStation 4. There’s “Action Mode”, which keepsNiohat a stable frame-rate of60fps, and a cinematic “Movie Mode” that supports resolutions up to4K, but at a cost of performance.
Players on PS4 can also purchase the Complete Edition, coming with all the same bells and whistles, however it has only been announced for the Japan region. We are still waiting for news of a western release date, but we imagine it can’t be that far off so stay tuned!
