Note, I have respect for, and appreciate Microsoft, Sony and Nintendo. That’s why I enjoy all three consoles. But what I’m about to talk about must strike a cord with those who feel it. You know the proverb: ‘who feels it knows it’, or he who’s in the kitchen is the one who feels the heat. And tonight, as a PS3 owner, I’m in the kitchen, feeling not the heat, but instead a sense of abandonment.
Licensing issues often leave many games forgotten. But all that aside, here are 10 classic games desperate for remasters.
The getaway
Smugglers run
Dead to rights
Worlds scariest police chases
Sure I’m missing a few.
Ape Escape.
Fun game but, wow, you need a college degree to understand the controls.
A remaster would also save you from having to constantly fight the camera.
Keep the music though. Those drum and bass tracks fit really well and haven't aged. Made me think that more games could work well with drum and bass tracks, but unfortunately it's a somewhat niche genre now.
i could have sworn i read somewhere that Remedy is remaking May Payne 1 but things have been quiet lately
One of the few Xbox games I own. I have 3 copies of it because of the many discs it has, for just in case reasons
Xenogears, Xenosaga trilogy, Vagrant Story, Drakengards, Parasite Eve and many more but I’ll start with those
The Black Ops series has featured some of the best and classic multiplayer maps in the Call of Duty franchise, and here's the top of them.
The Nerd Stash: "Developed by Treyarch Studios, Call of Duty: Black Ops games are some of the best in the series in terms of gameplay, story, and -- of course -- Zombies."
Black ops 4, because it was the last cod of duty I was able to dominate with a +2 k/d ratio. Before all the freaking cheating started to happen. It was nice catching people off guard and shooting at them first and getting the kill. Unlike now, where I shoot people first, but they gun me down with less hits, less time, literally feels like they can kill me in a split second. At times, they are able to run away after me shooting them way more than necessary, yet, the second I'm spotted, I'm dead, there's no me running away to cover. They can do cartwheels, summersaults, backflips and gun you down perfectly. They can shoot you across the map with perfect accuracy. They can jump around like morons and gun you down without even having to correct their aim. They have superman split second perfect reactions. That's the best way to describe it, everything they do is spot on perfect. They can spam and spray (no praying) their gun from far away, because they have no recoil or bullet spread. It always feels like I have to aim and also correct my aim when moving around, while these pricks don't have to do the same.
And yes, I know how to play fps games. I dominated many fps games like: Resistance 1&2, kz 2&3, Socom, MAG, Crysis, Gotham City Impostors, blitz brigade etc. all with 2-4 k/d ratio. Kz2 (lag input controls) and resistance (no aim assist in resistance) being the hardest and were the games I reached either close to a 3 k/d ratio or above.
I truly got to enjoy blacks ops 4 and got my money's worth out of it. Afterwords, I would either stop playing cod games after a while, because of the cheating, or would skip buying cod games for a year or two before buying another.
Well I don't mind waiting for it.
I don't know anyone who would either buy a whole new console or switch versions for timed-DLC.
PS3 gamers will keep buying CoD for the PS3 and breaking records on PSN because COD is an established franchise on both consoles and has tons of fans.
lol I 100% agree, good article
(Think i'm going to boycott it aswell)
i think you dont understand the COD deal dont you. here let me tell you what the deal is:
Microsoft and Activision made a 3 year deal were microsoft gets timed exclusivity on Call of Duty DLC. that means, that microsoft gets Call of duty DLC first and gets exclusivity for it for about 1 month or 2, like MW2 DLC.
so you can still buy COD on PS3, just keep in mind you going to have to wait for COD DLC a little longer, like a month after microsoft gets it.
The author's incentive for buying a game is based on DLC and map packs, and he won't buy a game simply because he's not getting the same?
Also, does he know the map packs/DLC are *timed* exclusives for the 360? This means they release on the 360 first but really, a one month gap means nothing.
Finally, PS3 owners are getting both games - I don't see the point in stirring up a flame war just because 360 gets (snicker) DLC first. No, you should only avoid Black Ops if you're tired of Call of Duty. It's definitely more realistic than MW2 but I haven't seen much yet that indicates it's totally fresh and unique. The Hind gameplay looked nice, but as MW2 will tell us, such vehicle sections would be few and far between.
Then again, it IS GamesThirst (sorry, movements. Just couldn't resist).
Edit: Jesus, that's 3 headlines in less than 15 minutes. First he's getting Killzone 3 instead. Then he's asking why he should buy it. And now he says he'll boycott (as if that ever worked before).
Yeah it's a greasy move. The reality is, Microsoft needs to pull this kind of thing to keep their gamer base. Without incentives like these I'd expect many hardcore-CoDer's would eventually switch to the PS3.
At the end of the day, gamers own a PS3 for *PS3 games*. Just because I have to wait a month for DLC doesn't mean I'm tossing my PS3 with the likes of Killzone 3, MoH, Dead Space 2 and other PS3-lead titles.
There's just too much gaming to be missed by stickin' with the 360 due to timed-DLC.
