This scenario would be a massive departure for Nintendo as many of the main titles from the Legend of Zelda franchise take five to six years before completion. Hopefully, this is not the case here, and we can have a new Zelda game just in time for the holidays.

Worst - The Real Reason For Cyberpunk 2077 s Delay

It seems as if the seven-year-old hardware Cyberpunk 2077. Basically, this game might be too advanced for the current hardware.

Worst - Grand Theft Auto Could Again Focus On Another Decade

It could be set in 1960s London or during the 70s and 80s in Latin America. We get it; Grand Theft Auto has done this a lot in the past. However, it would be nice to have a game that looks at a modern take on organized crime and doesn’t just resort to rehashing past stories.

Worst - Resident Evil 8 Is Happening With Werewolves

via DNA India With the success of —as well as the retread of popular games in the series—it makes absolute sense that Capcom would be working on Resident Evil 8. RE7 took the series back to its roots and set the stage for Capcom to make a comeback with this franchise. Recently, the rumors have started, and there are some things we have a question about. that the eighth title in the series will have Ethan back as a protagonist.

Worst - Sony s New Horror IP

via Playstation So, there isn’t a whole lot to go on, but there has been a leak that Sony is working with SIE Japan to . On the surface, this sounds like great news, as SIE Japan did SIREN and a few other notable horror games on the Playstation. However, with the news that Silent Hill could be sending some new titles out in the next couple of years, and also coming back in the spotlight, it is hard to think of how SIE Japan can come up with a title that rivals these two. Some newer horror games seem to be retreading old ground. However, if this game moves into a new creative direction that we haven’t already seen, it could be a winner.

Best - Fable IV Could Be In Development

We hope that the project is still moving along and that it is worth the wait.
