The Greatest Generation Ever?

Brash Games writes "With the current generation finally starting to wind down (there is no way Sony and Microsoft’s next-gen consoles won’t be here by next Christmas), it feels like a reasonable time to reflect on what has, and will surely continue to be, the greatest console generation of all time".

The most bloated generation ever.

Is rather good for open world and FPS, online and social gaming, but otherwise crippled creatively because of costs associated with HD development.

humbleopinion4235d ago (Edited 4235d ago )

Crippled creativity and costs associated with HD development!? This gen showed us some of the most creative games while at the same time reducing costs for innovative small players wishing to bring their ideas to consoles.
And it's mostly thanks to digital distribution: When was the last gen you've seen a team of about 2 people putting up a game that becomes a smashing sales success and a GOTY nominee? With games such as Braid, World of Goo, Journey, Limbo Fez, Minecraft, Super Meat Boy, Bastion and plenty others we're witnessing how small independent studios redefine they way we approach games.

And that's without even mentioning how things on the AAA front never looked better. Never in history have so many really good games had to compete for our money. I find myself giving up on some amazing games simply because there's no time to play them all.

I loved my N64 and PS1 the best. Although the PS2 and Xbox had just about a game for anything you could think of so i did really have a phenomenal time playing a lot of different games last gen. I'd say this gen is a lot of fun but not my personal favorite, and the games aren't varied enough compared to past gens sadly.

GrahamGolden4235d ago

the original xbox had what ??

i agree for this gen but saying the original xbox had something except for halo is hilarious.

ps2--->xbox

Angerfist4235d ago

Ninja Gaiden,
Star Wars KOTOR 1&2
Oddworld Strangers Wrath
Project Gotham Racing 2
the list goes on and on....
Not to mention far better Graphics then PS2.
Even though i bought a PS2 for its Exclusives
and GT4 was probably my most played Game last Gen.

Last Gen there were really a lot of Exclusives from 3rd Party on both Sides.

Allsystemgamer4235d ago

Uh...

Halo 1 and 2
Phantom dust
Pgr
Fusion frenzy
Amped
Ts
Ghost recon
Splinter cell
Mech assault
Steel battalion
Etc.

Are you that ignorant?

BiGT854236d ago

this gen whack! last gen is way better

Hellsvacancy4235d ago

Ive put more hours into single games this gen then i ever have before, like Demons/Dark Souls for example, 500 hours each, easily, Skyrim, 2-3 hundred probably, BF3 must be 7-8 hundred hours

Im not saying this has been the best for me, but i have played some of the best games ive EVER played this gen

Gaming was more straight forward when i was younger, buy a game, load it up, play/beat it, end of story

Todays gaming is far more technical then it needs to be, but it has it pluses

Venoxn4g4236d ago

Gamecube/Ps2 gen was the best for me

(God Hand, Okami, Mgs 2&3, Killer7, Viewtiful joeb1&2, Katamari games,Shadow of rome, Haunting ground, fatal frames,silent hills,mk:shsolin monks,shadow of colossus&ico, luigis mansion, metroid primes, XIII, RE4, forbidden siren 1&2, zeldas, beyond good&evil..and many many more)

GrahamGolden4235d ago

ps1-2 era hands down
thi generation with very few exception was the worst

You left out The Darkness games bring those back

fan_of_gaming4d ago

The head of Nightdive Studios has posted that The Darkness is on their list of games they want to do, so hopefully something comes from that

Yi-Long5d ago

Little Big Planet 1 and 2 deserve a mention, IMO.

Good call on Motorstorm, a game released 2 gens ago but still looks and feels so good. Motorstorm 2 and Motorstorm RC were gems as well. They followed up the Motorstorm games with the brilliant Driveclub, which still manages to put modern racing games to shame. Imagine closing down a studio as talented as that ... (!) Incredible.

A little 'arcade-gem' back then was The Last Guy, a top down 'follow the leader' snake-like game where you had to find and lead survivors to safety during an alien invasion, on terrible looking 'Google-earth' maps. Graphics were poor, even back then, but would love that same gameplay with modern maps and graphics.

Street Fighter 4, once it finally had a full roster, was quite good, but it was always an ugly game, sadly. Imagine bringing that back while using the current SF6 engine.

fan_of_gaming4d ago

Good suggestions, I'd be in for
LittleBigPlanet
LittleBigPlanet 2
Motorstorm: Pacific Rift
Motorstorm: RC

purple1014d ago

God damn I love motorstorm so much

At the time I had a low-mid range sony 40” tv, The latency to the controller was waaaay too high, would to play a modern version

In saying that later I got a 3d lg tv and playing the 3d motorstorm in my bedroom with the environment crumbling around the track, was something special, specially compared to what others were playing at the time, will always remember that

Skuletor5d ago

Some good choices here and Resistance: Fall of Man is my most wanted PS3 remaster/remake. Not sure about their claim it was Sony's answer to Gears of War though.

CrimsonWing695d ago

I’d rather have sequels than remakes. Look at Dead Space 1 Remake. Would’ve been cooler if we got a new entry and it failed with sales sealing the fate of a sequel rather than just replay the same game and it fail in sales and we never get a new entry.

Remakes are great for things like PS2 and earlier games to really get a crazy new graphical coat, but I think we should ease up on all these remakes and actually do sequels.

fan_of_gaming4d ago

Yeah for sure, sequels would be ideal. But in the current market environment where many big publishers are risk-averse, I'd rather get a remaster or remake that a developer can do on a budget that will be approved, rather than nothing for an IP.

Inverno4d ago

I rather they remaster and port over to PC and current gen all the games permanently stuck on PS360. Those games don't need remakes, they need to be given a chance to live again outside of their confined consoles and then give a few proper sequels. Like Sleeping Dogs, Motor Storm, LA Noir, should get another entry.

fan_of_gaming4d ago

Yeah I'd be fine with remasters of PS3 games too, they don't have to be remakes.

Rockstar still strying to make GTA plus work
Should be $6 for the rdr game on sale not 6 bucks for a months playtime

Exvalos19d ago (Edited 19d ago )

I hear ya, 49.99 or whatever the price on that game is, is a bit stiff seeing as it's just a port.

anast19d ago

Why would anyone rent this game?

jznrpg19d ago

One of my favorite games from PS3 generation. I have the remaster as there was a buy 2 get 1 free deal a while back but the price they are charging for the port is way too high although not surprising at all.

CobraKai18d ago

Still tryna milk a dried up cow

I still think this release was a big waste of time. I would have been a day 1 purchaser if they had redone the game w RDR2 graphics. I still own my PS3 copy, so don't see the point in picking this up if it's minimally improved.

CobraKai34d ago

I bought the game cheaper than the remaster on 360. There’s no reason in releasing the game at that price with so little improvements if any.

Profchaos34d ago

It's nice to have it as a handheld game I guess if you travel a lot but yes the ps5 release was a joke

kaos8934d ago

It plays at 60 fps on PS5 and a higher res if you value that.

OtterX34d ago (Edited 34d ago )

Yea, PS3 graphics at 60fps and 4k doesn't warrant the price. It was severely disappointing considering they already created so many of the assets north of the San Luis River (New Austin) in RDR2 and could have reused a lot of things, or reworked things bc they are the same area at different times in a fairly close history. It's friggin' Rockstar - you know they have the money and resources to have done it.

jznrpg19d ago

I like that I can play the game on current generation console but it would have been nice if they did more to make it look better.

Profchaos34d ago (Edited 34d ago )

They should have released the game in its current state not the state it launched in. Obvious we all wanted this to be a expansion to rdr 2 given that the original map was already remade in the game lots of people though this was just going to be added in later as paid DLC.

Now the game runs at 4k 60 fps on ps5 and can be brought on sale it's actually worth playing.

At launch the game was priced far to high and was a ps360 era game that couldn't run at 60 fps.

I'm in no way a frame rate snob I defended games like tears of the kingdom in the past for being 30 fps experiences but rdr was a joke at launch
