GB: "With this feature, we talk about 15 games on the PS3 that should be remade for the PlayStation 5."
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.
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.
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.

Wander and Agro from Shadow of the Colossus is always my favorite.
Recent Ellie and Joel, Elizabeth and Booker duo got into my top list also. :D
"9. Marcus and Dom – Gears of War"
"There can be little doubt Epic’s decision to IMPOSE upon gamers this grizzled AI partnership immediately elevated Gears above its contemporaries."
I really cannot disagree more. Maybe in the overall story people can like their friendship, but as an AI partner in the game...one of the more infuriating experiences I've had. Especially on the hardest difficulty. I would go so far as to say it was a broken game mechanic with how dumb that AI partner was (since it wouldn't let me beat the final boss due to his desire to run right in front of the general and get slaughtered). It really left a sour taste in my mouth regarding the whole franchise.
Edit: This is regarding the first game, I had no desire to continue the series so I'm not sure how much it improved, if any, with further installments.
Joel & Ellie <3
No Gordon Freeman and Alyx Vance?
