No Naomi in the top 5? I believe her death should be in it its one of the most underrated death scenes also with Grey Fox as well

Nyxus4206d ago

It was very hard to choose. I also had to take out Emma Emmerich, to my regret, so it would stay a top 5. But I can see why you would choose both Naomi and Gray Fox.

One of the 3 or 4 ways you can end The End...

Love MGS3

The Fury deserves an honorable mention.....I mean who the hell could have predicted he was Satan.......

I think Vamp has to be one of mine. I hated his guts and I wanted him to die so much during MGS2 and 4, but then he actually did =/

Great list though

ZeroChaos4206d ago

I agree with Sniper Wolf, Big Boss and The Boss but not with Vulcan Raven or Zero.

Zero I didn't feel nothing for, I know it was a big moment but nah. Same for Vulcan.

Personally I would have put Emma (MGS2) and Raiden (MGS4) getting "killed".

I would also consider The Sorrow, even though you don't find out about him until after you meet him, if you saw the links through out the game (the corpse, the image of him), you would feel sorry for him especially after Signit explains it to you.

Nyxus4206d ago

Zero wasn't chosen because you're supposed to feel anything for him, but because the scene was so powerful and well made, and the symbolic significance of the death.

Same goes for Vulcan Raven, it's more about Snake and what he says about him, and how it is presented, than about Vulcan Raven dieing.

I wouldn't count Raiden's scene in MGS4 as a death scene because he doesn't actually die. But yeah, I agree with Emma, it was a shame there was no more room for her in the top 5.

ZeroChaos4206d ago

I understand the importance he had on the series and the significance but I still felt nothing when I watched it. Actually if you going of more symbolic significance it would belong to Big Boss as he is the last to die causing the symbolism to die with him (he even makes note of it). And on top of this we actually had some character development of Big Boss through-out multiple games. Ego making Big Boss much higher on that list because we have actually seen his struggle.

Vulcan's eulogy was a reflection and summary of Snake but according to your description "Some are chosen for their importance to the story, the impact on the player, or the cinematic quality and memorability." none of that happened with me for Vulcan, thats what I mean when I say I felt nothing.

In the end of the day its your list but I feel that a few choices you made were chosen for the wrong reasons.

I’d have taken a few of those out. Prefer Sonic over Sonic 2. Outrun should be in there. Maybe even Pong as millions of people had fun with that even if it was repetitive. Final Fight pipped any Streets of Rage game, although Streets of Rage had the better soundtrack. Too many to list l guess. To me, retro gaming is the 1980s, maybe going into early 1990s.

Agree that the generational gap is too broad to really make a strong list. Need to tighten the years a bit. Hard to compare Pac Man with N64 games.

PlayStation 3 Games That Desperately Need a PS5 Remaster

The PlayStation 3 may not have been the strongest generation for Sony, but there were still some diamonds in the rough that deserve a revisit as PS5 remasters.

Even if they could just remaster and put on PSVR2, some would still look great as VR titles and could do a whole lot to bolster the headset w these exclusives! I'd imagine the investment of reworking these titles into VR would be way less than building new games from the ground up, and they could be amazing experiences, and VR often makes flat games feel fresh again. The Resistance and Killzone games are particularly what I want to see!!

Rude-ro48d ago

I played killzone 3 in 3d and it really changed the game per being immersive.
In vr, that would be even more awesome.

darthv7248d ago

Funny you mention that... my son wanted to play some PS3 games in 3d on my PS tv and he was blown away by how good KZ3 was. It really was a great addition to the game. Im surprised there have not been more 3d games from that era being ported to the PSVR/VR2.

_SilverHawk_48d ago

resistance 1-3, killzone 1-3, uncharted 1-3, uncharted golden abyss, folklore, socom 4 , motorstorm, twisted metal, MAG, heavenly sword

Profchaos48d ago (Edited 48d ago )

Killzone trilogy in VR would be amazing bonus points if they offer shadow fall.

There was a psvr1 Killzone project that supermassive was working on at one stage which wasn't up to scratch and Sony brand it back in house I was hoping we would see that on psvr2 eventually.

Personally I'd love to see some more love or acknowledgement of psvr2 from Sony in general it was a expensive headset and Sony barely acknowledge it's existence

seanpitt2348d ago

The amount of work needed to remaster these games wouldn't be beneficial on a financial and business sense.. MGS4 would probably be the best bet as it would need the least amount of work!

Iceball200049d ago

YEAAASSSSS! I miss this franchise and wanna play it so bad again.

Father__Merrin49d ago

The time is perfect for a resistance fall of man game campaign coop multiplayer

InUrFoxHole49d ago

The resistance series is str8 trash to me. Socom 3 I would welcome. Or killzone MP.

Marcus Fenix49d ago

A Resistance reboot will be awesome

Michiel198948d ago

That's what Bungie should make, Ill keep saying it until it happens

1Victor49d ago (Edited 49d ago )

Resistance was ok but Warhawk and Starhawk was better and kept me coming back for almost a decade of fun and petty revenge on the loud mouth unskilled players 🤣
Edit I loved capture the flag dropping the pot on the flag carrier was extremely satisfying as well as transforming your plane in bot form and stumping them to death 😱

Resistance was the best co-op fps I ever played after L4D2
