Has a videogame’s ending ever make you cry? It’s okay, you can tell us. It’s perfectly normal.
Many of us get emotionally invested in our media, be it film, books, comic books, graphic novels and of course games. We have a lot to thank for that: excellent writing, believable acting, visual flair, not to mention music. Every so often there comes along a game that defies our expectations and blows us away with an incredibly emotional ending.
We feel the urge to share a few of these with you (and find a shoulder to cry on), and in turn, we’d love to hear your own favorite tearjerker videogame endings.
Oh, and in case you didn’t expect it, there are spoilers to be had. You’ve been warned. Bring a tissue just in case.
GB: "With this feature, we talk about 15 games on the PS3 that should be remade for the PlayStation 5."
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
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.
Good suggestions, I'd be in for
LittleBigPlanet
LittleBigPlanet 2
Motorstorm: Pacific Rift
Motorstorm: RC
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
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.
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.
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.
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.
Yeah I'd be fine with remasters of PS3 games too, they don't have to be remakes.
Rockstar Games’ shiny new Red Dead Redemption port is now on GTA+, and you can play it while claiming some tasty GTA Online benefits.
Rockstar still strying to make GTA plus work
Should be $6 for the rdr game on sale not 6 bucks for a months playtime
I hear ya, 49.99 or whatever the price on that game is, is a bit stiff seeing as it's just a port.
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.
NE: "EarthBound fans got lots of news in 2024, but a Mother 3 localization wasn't part of it. We talk whether it's possible with pros and cons."
Pro: More people getting to experience a game they weren't able to before.
Con: Hearing either Lucas or Ness yell "PK fire" ever again.
No FFX? Preposterous!
one of the endings to Bioshock 2 had me in tears, i suppose you could say it's the bad, bad ending.
MGS 3 got me at the end, Snake at the graveside.
there's one bit in Fable 2 that always gets me, it's not the ending though, it's in the middle, after you go to the spire and after ten years you finally escape.
when you make your way back to the mainland your dog is the first to greet you on the dock.
that bit always gets me.

To the Moon
Katawa Shoujo
Cart Life

How about a Spoilers ! ?
There is a way of listing these without also listing the Details of said death and ruining the game.
* I just wanted to see the list of games so I could maybe give them a shot. They didn't need to point out how said death occurred within the first 2 sentences.
