Pragmata - completely New IP, looks great and unique (the best looking RE Engine game after RE2-4 remakes and DMC V), but I just don't get why are they slowing down combat so much with stupid hackin' puzzle. I think this hacking shit must be removed or simplified significantly to work like in Starbreeze's excellent Syndicate, where you can just press one button without slowing down combat so much and waste a lot of time. One other thing to note is that... well, it's just doesn't look all that complicated gameplay-wise overall, plus the tone of it... how should I put it, it's more like a game for a dude and his daughter to just relax, turn their brains off and play the game each evening, rather than something more serious for adults like Binary Domain, Dead Space, Cronos or The Last of Us. I'm not saying everything should be serious, but what I've seen of the game so far is just not what I imagined it'll be or something I'll have fun with. Also, the girl is so annoying... I can't see myself playing the game for 10+ hrs with her constantly having comments about everything you do and shit - ND risked a lot with Ellie in TLOU but somehow managed to make her a great character you care about, rather than be annoyed by most of the playthrough.
I appreciate them making something new, but I think this game will struggle to find an audience and will flop for this reason especially if they'll be asking $60-70 for it.
RE Requiem - we literally seen nothing of substance 3 months before release, but given that I don't like 7 and especially 8, I can hardly imagine Requiem will be better even with 3rd person perspective. I only care about remakes cuz at least here they're doing far better job so far, even RE3R I liked for what it is, but 7 and 8 was anything but what I want from RE, hell I don't even like any of the characters they showed so far. So yeah, zero expectations for something even remotely good.
Onimusha - well, I made a thread about it, so nothing new to say here except that I've a lot more fate and expectations for this new game while being very sceptical.
So yeah, RE Requiem will probably sell better than 7 or 8 just cuz it's not about idiotic and stupid Winters family, Onimusha will sell $1-2 mil at least during the first year and Pragmata... it'll struggle, man, very badly. Like, the concept is great, but what they did with it gameplay-wise is just anything but fun and exciting - if they'd made something similar to Vanquish with it, it could've been A LOT better.
