Top Ten Open World Games This Generation

GamingUnion.net:

Grand Theft Auto III ushered in a new brand of game design on consoles, the open-world game, largely thanks to its runaway success when it was released in 2003. Since then, the genre has expanded considerably to encompass everything from destructible playgrounds to realistic historical periods and pieces.

Some really great games this generation, it's a shame Microsoft couldn't push on with the Crackdown franchise though.

Hardedge4837d ago

I've watched my bud play it, it seemed like a lot of chaotic fun.

JDouglasGU4837d ago

yeah, they really dropped the ball on that one. pretty much a disastrous situation for everyone involved.

ShawnCollier4837d ago

Didn't the sequel really underperform expectations?

Sanrin4837d ago

I really loved the first game, but the second really just didn't deliver enough new content to really justify a full playthrough.

mephman4837d ago

Well, the sequel was just the "perfect" sequel. It just did nothing new or original.

Hardedge4837d ago

Burnout Paradise seemed so long ago, still one of my favourite games this generation though.

JDouglasGU4837d ago

definitely the definitive burnout game, which explains why there hasn't been another one.

kancerkid4837d ago

After buying the first 4 the day of release and playing them to death, I still don't know why I don't have Paradise.

StarCSR4832d ago

For me Burnout ended with Burnout : Revenge.... Burnout shouldn't be about an open world. It should be like NFS: Hot Pursuit is now. THAT is Burnout for me.

NickD354837d ago

For me Fallout 3 is the best game released this gen. I got lost in that game and all the DLC for a very long time.

HobbsCanuck4837d ago

Same here. Every once and a while I'll go back and buy one of the DLC's and start playing Fallout 3 :P

Mike10944837d ago

A good list, but not even an honorable mention for Mafia 2? Sure, the game as a whole was not exactly top-notch (Even though I loved it!), but the New York/Chicago inspired open city was downright beautiful!

JDouglasGU4837d ago

well it's hard to even classify mafia 2 was an open world game, because the narrative was completely linear.

I Have A Confession, I Like The Fallout 3 Green Filter

The game looks too clean without it.

How about you actually SHOW wtf you're talking about

Nacho_Z4d ago

Always annoying when articles do that.

I agree with them that the tv show was a bit on the clean side. They got loads right regarding set design etc but there's room for improvement.

gold_drake4d ago

i dont. it hurts my eyes. but im fairly ssensitive when it comes to that sort of stuff.

I just want 4k/1440p and 60fps support. And with little glitches too ofc.

Snookies129d ago (Edited 9d ago )

This is about the PC version of RDR 1. The PC version of RDR 2 doesn't have a frame rate cap. Though I do agree, it is mind boggling that Rockstar still hasn't released a patch for consoles.

XiNatsuDragnel10d ago (Edited 10d ago )

It'll be great if true

LucasRuinedChildhood9d ago (Edited 9d ago )

Hopefully 60fps on consoles for RDR2 is next then.

LucasRuinedChildhood9d ago (Edited 9d ago )

Honestly, a PS5 Pro isn't even needed for 60fps in this case. But if they wanted to use it show a game running maxed out at a high resolution at 60fps, I wouldn't complain. Just give us 60fps. lol

I think the Series X might have an issue running the One X version at a locked 60fps as that version was a full native 4K but they could just lower the resolution a bit.

purple1019d ago (Edited 9d ago )

I wish to play both stellar blade, and rdr2, on the pro, maxed out like an expensive pc,

would be good, especially for the price, even if thats £499/ £549

last I checked, a rtx 4070super was £580 for just the card!

DaReapa9d ago

There aren't many games I'd double dip for, but having originally gotten this for PS3, I would happily get this if true.
