G4MERS: "Spec Ops: The Line, the game I'm waiting, for the salvation of the demo and get it pretty soon, because I shop when you update the PlayStation Store. And what do we find in the next USPSS update?"

Very cool.

I'm hoping for a surge in third party shooters.

Starhawk is a bit different and SOCOM has fallen off for the most part, I still play confrontation and plan to play more socom 4 but its not the socom of old really.

All other TPS games kind of suck or are kind of generic.

I'm hoping for a good tactical TPS game soon.

Confrontation was one of the worst shooters AND games in general Ive played this GEN. I heard bad things about this game but wel see in the demo. If theres an TPS to be excited for it has to be Ghost recon

@red2tango

Just because a game resembles past titles more than another doesn't make it better. Fact is. Confrontation was broken at launch, still riddled with bugs, and overall a terrible game. Throwing in maps like Desert Glory and Blizzard won't make me over look the hundreds of flaws in the game. SOCOM 4 was an average TPS, but it wasn't SOCOM. Confrontation was close to being SOCOM, but a terrible, terrible game.

Raoh4371d ago (Edited 4371d ago )

Relax guys, I agree with both you.

Confrontation was one of the worst game launches in history this gen (speaking as an original socom fan). BUT post patch, its much better, really good actually, I prefer it over cod, battlefield (not bad company, bad company is the best, official battlefield is best on pc) on consoles, etc.

Socom 4 is a really good TPS, one of the best this gen, just a horrible socom.

oh and if anyone wants to argue the points of socom vs other shooters. Read this neogaf post about aim assist and then think twice about how good some people think they really are when it comes to shooters

LOL I knew a some Socom fanboy would cry like I insulted his whole family (Worst fanboys ever)

I never said Socom 4 was good anyway all I know is that you Socom fanboys like playing crap ass games so you can act like your in a real war. Ive played with you guys online your a joke with your "go to delta and charlie crap" or "Red to tango" LoL sad. Your probably one of those guys who goes apeshit on your mic when a team mate does something wrong.

LOL Im a retard because I think a game is terrible. Typical insecure Socom fanboy logic. What shoes how ignorant and stupid you are you is you assumed I was defending Socom 4 when I didnt even mention it in my comment!! You deluded little fanboy you make me laugh...

I just started playing Spec op. I've had it for years on steam and forgot about it. Such a good game.

EvertonFC63d ago (Edited 63d ago )

Cacabunga63d ago

Auto Modelista.. a PS2 capcom racer!! A blast to play and great graphics!

LordoftheCritics63d ago

Spec Ops: The Line was super dark.

Incredible story.

SheenuTheLegend63d ago

all the games in the above list are bang on. this is the only reason we need backwards compatibility and physical presense of games for the upcoming future, no matter what.

Yi-Long63d ago

Honorable mention to the excellent Driveclub, one of the best racing games of all-time and one of my favourite games ever.

melons63d ago

yes! incredible rain effects; so good to drive along in rain with your Spotify playlist blaring

Skuletor63d ago

I really wanted a MotorStorm using the same engine, Driveclub is easily one of the best looking games on PS4 and I'm surprised they didn't even give it a PS4 Pro patch.

ravens5263d ago

Yes indeed. May just install it on my PS5. You know, physical copy and all.

monkey60263d ago

I adored Driveclub and the Bike expansion. I also loved Motorstorm. Evolution shutting down was a crime

Outrun Online Arcade, Sega Rally Online Arcade, After Burner Climax... all good stuff. I keep my 360 hooked up to play these as well as the TMNT games that were also delisted.

Skuletor63d ago

I have quite a few of these. Timed licenses suck.

Terry_B63d ago (Edited 63d ago )

wow...I have all of them except the Nintendo ones either in physical or digital version.

Also..Deadpool the Game is missing on that list.

It's really a shame that the Spec Ops reboot didn't continue into a series. Obviously the story in The Line is over. But each game could have delved into the different psychological effects of war as well as exploring different takes on Heart of Darkness. In a sea of mindless military shooters it was nice to finally play a shooter that actually had something to say.

EazyC83d ago

This game was the last of a dying breed, a signifier of where shooter games (and videogames more broadly) COULD have gone if developers didn't pivot so hard into the online services, micro transaction, season pass, yada yada.

New narrative territory exploring the actual art form of gaming and storytelling within it.

Yui_Suzumiya83d ago

A brilliant depiction into what war can really do to a person and doesn't glorify it in any way.

Psychonaut8583d ago

I heard this game might be getting delisted, which is a travesty, this is one that should be preserved forever

Puty82d ago

I think the title was unfortunate - it was when Moder Warfare got big so I assumed it was yet another clone. Fortunately, because ps plus I checked out this gem of a game.
