"Welcome to Gaming Trend’s Top 25 Games of the Last Generation. Over the next 5 days we’ll be counting down the 25 best games that defined a generation. GT staff members got together and managed to put aside their differences in order to come up with the best possible list. Everything from innovation to overall game quality was used to determine placing and ranking.
Of course, one of the criterias we agreed on in order for a game to qualify was that it had to have been released on a last gen console (PS3, Xbox 360 and Wii). We decided to exclude games exclusive to PC or handheld as they muddy the waters when deciding whether they’re considered last gen or not but fret not! those will be looked at in future lists.
It wasn’t easy, but we’re happy with the end result. So, without further ado, here are the games of a generation"
The arrival of new Tomb Raider merchandise has offered a closer look at the updated Lara Croft character design.
Im going to miss the new lara croft design, i hope they don't change that much from the last game.
Plot Twist, this is what happened to Nathan Drake after Uncharted 4.
I kid, I kid. :)
Man… her face gives me the heeby jeebies. I hope she looks better in game.
An upcoming Tomb Raider RPG planned for early 2025 shows more of unified Lara Croft planned for a new AAA adventure leaked as "open-world".
This is not the Crystal Dynamics you once loved - this is a sold publisher that houses maybe 10% of it original cast of employees - this game will BOMB !!!! F Embracer Group - they suck BALLS ! Basketballs
Dude, calm down, let us wait and see the announcement and official images first
Embracer Group is an EVIL company that absorbed many companies with investor money
knowing damn well they were going to put amazing hard working people on the street
their plan was weak and they screwed up and lost BIG TIME $$$$
They can go Fuk themselves !
Of course most of the the original Crystal Dynamics team is gone they took over Tomb Raider over 20 years ago. That’s not abnormal. That doesn’t mean the newer devs will automatically fail.
Open world is already part one of setting it up to fail. I can sense the fetch quests, camp clearing, kill quests with hundreds of collectables sprinkled in already, just like every open world of the last 10 years. Lazy game design awaits.
Definitely not true. Crystal have kept the majority of their team, know a lot of folks that work there.
Don't disagree with you about the general sentiment towards Embracer though.
I am interested for sure. Embracer as a parent company has made a massive amount of mistakes and crappy moves but that doesn’t mean this dev team can not make a good game. If the game is good and has a physical copy I’ll buy it. Tomb Raider rpg in theory could be great.
Embracer SUX ASS !!!!
Yes I said it - they are an EU company where they received investment to suck up companies and kill them off or break them down and has put 1000's of workers out of work - as we say in the USA - F them - losers
A wise man once said “I seen a lot of people hate me and I didn't know what to feel about that so I guess I didn't like you much neither. During this fight, I've seen a lot of changing, the way you felt about me, and in the way I felt about you. In here, there were two guys killing each other, but I guess that's better than 20 million. I guess what I'm trying to say, is that if I can change, and you can change, everybody can change!”
I don't like the 'open-worlding' every franchise idea ... Tomb Raider needs to be semi-linear-ish ... or do segmented open spaces
This. They all follow the same basic structure and it's boring. Open world games have all become to similar to one another.
I'm kind of hoping they're saying open world but they mean the more 'hub' design they've had with recent games. I liked the hub concept. I'm not a fan of just open world a la Ubisoft, though. Ubisoft goes so hard on open world that I feel we really don't need any more.
I would like them to do a Halo ODST style, with the open hub area containing extra tombs and Easter eggs and collectibles and finding certain items will bring you to the linear mission.
For me I'd like to see more of a emphasis on puzzles return the last trilogy felt a bit like a modern action game
The Unified timeline bullshit still sounds awful going off the rumours
You can't make Survivor Lara and Classic Lara the same, they have totally different histories and origin stories.
They actually want to say that Survivor Lara turns into Classic which would then erase Classic Lara's origin story with the plane crash in the Himalayas.
Also an open world game...sigh
I had hoped the love for the Remaster games would have pushed them to continue that timeline or do a new reimagined timeline where you play as Classic Lara surviving in the Himalayas for those 2 weeks before she found a small village for help.
The Street Fighter series has a long history, but which are the seven best games the franchise has yet offered to gamers?
With such a very, *very* long cycle on the last generation of consoles, it's a pretty huge pool of games to choose from. Looking forward to seeing the whole list.
Man, the amount of games from the previous generation is staggering.
Let's get to the real questions, though:
Where is Catherine?
It's truly going to be a generation to talk about for years to come.
I play on PC. I have no generations! Great article though.
