Keep in mind that the ordering here isn’t necessarily the focus. Certain games complete their circuits at different points in the year, so games like League of Legends and Overwatch haven’t completed their largest tournaments yet. Or take for instance Madden NFL 17 , sitting at $904,000, which won’t climb much higher since Madden NFL 18 is now availab

The low marketing budgets that Japanese games suffer from tend to extend into lack of coverage from the media. Small Japanese publishers and their tiny western partners don’t really have the money to wine and dine armies of western journalists at massive preview events, and often have to resort to almost literally begging for strategynewsbase.Com articles. If you look at an average large gaming website, you’ll see that their coverage of most Japanese games is spotty at best, and non-existent at wo

Crossing over $1,000,000 in total prize pool is an impressive accomplishment, but the amount of games is worth noting as well. In 2016 ten games eclipsed the $1 M total, six did it in 2013, and the first broke onto the scene in 2005 ( Counter-Strik

Building on this year’s E3 finale, Insomniac’s adaptation of the web-slinging hero was also heavily implied to release in the first half of this year during the aforementioned Layden interview. Spider-Man will likely complete the trio of release date reveals that will take place during PSX, along with perhaps another in-depth gameplay demo to show off the scope of Insomniac’s newest release.

Pachter has historically mentioned exceptions to his reasoning like Final Fantasy, Metal Gear, or Resident Evil , and in this latest interview, he appears to be baffled by the performance of Persona 5 . Those don’t sell well because they have somehow dropped their Japanese flavor, but simply because they’re part of popular franchises, come with excellent AAA-level production values, and have a proper marketing push that improves awareness among the audie

[Note: Electronics Arts reached out to Game Rant with clarification regarding the prize pools for both Madden NFL 17 and Madden NFL 18 . The Madden NFL 17 Championship Series, now ended, had a prize pool total of over $1 million. However, the first tournament in the series was held in December 2016, which is why its $100,000 prize pool wasn’t included in our totals. Madden NFL 18 ‘s Championship Series prize pool goes above and beyond, partnering directly with the NFL and increasing the prize pool for the series to $1.15 million. The Madden franchise is certain to climb over $1 million in prize pool total in 2017, but didn’t meet the constraints of this article’s list at the time of publicati

Sucker Punch was also featured on last year’s PSX speculation article, and then proceeded to remain outside of the spotlight until October, with an in-engine trailer and brief gameplay tease that stole the show during Paris Games Week. Ghost of Tsushima is also guaranteed to have a presence on Friday night and during Saturday’s panels, and considering Sucker Punch’s release schedule for their past few titles, fans could end up seeing quite a bit of this ancient Japanese title.

As for Timetravel6000v2’s DCTV poster, it’s not indicative of this year’s Arrowverse crossover and is, of course, simply some fun and striking art featuring some of The CW’s most beloved superheroes. Still, it will no doubt get fans excited for not only this year’s crossover, ‘Crisis on Earth-X’, but potential future crossovers – which could include Black Lightning depending on how successful the hero’s series turns out to be and whether the showrunners agree to lend Jefferson Pierce to next year’s Arrowverse team

While the main character in Ghost of Tsushima is originally a samurai, the end of the announcement trailer shows clearly that he is going to take up the mantle of the ninja. Not only does the concept of “ghost” make it clear, but at the end we see him in ninja garb, using shinobi tools, and stealth to fight off the Mongol a
