This week’s Sunday Special takes a journey back as early as 1977 to find the Top Ten Console Launch Titles. Do you remember the Atari 2600’s launch (October 1977), or the arrival of SEGA Mega-Drive (October 1988)? And more importantly do you remember the games that were available at launch? This week, Electronic Theatre’s Sunday Special focuses on those games that made a major statement at launch.
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!!
The time is perfect for a resistance fall of man game campaign coop multiplayer
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 😱
Unveiled footage of the cancelled TimeSplitters game emerges after Free Radical's closure, igniting fans' nostalgia and hopes for a revival.
From looking at the gameplay, it just looks like Fortnite, this would have been very poorly received by timesplitters fans.
I'm glad this got cancelled, what's with the Fornite knockoff? TimeSplitters was an FPS, not a 3rd person battle royale.
What were they thinking?
I got into a minor disagreement with their staff shortly after the closure, after i commented about a Timesplitters HD remaster to gauge public reception before such a big project here:

Looking at the gameplay footage, it's clear that the staff (no matter what level) we're out of their depth, putting lots of hours into a game that would of been DOA if Embracer didn't shut it down.
They removed the footage. Here it is if anyone's interested: https://youtu.be/BesmfPD8fj...
It's basically a Fortnite clone. Seems like a good decision to cancel this game.
Remember the days of four-player couch co-op? The Wealth of Geeks team certainly does. This list brings us back to the golden years of the original Xbox with the best four-player games that were available.
Mario64 better be there.
Good list. PS2 had the worst launch line-up ever, but it's the best console of all time.
Note: Motorstorm was a launch title only in Europe.
We early American adopters were playing R:FOM for three and a half months before we got this bad boy.
Definitely would have put Mario 64 at number one. Would have put Twilight Princess for Wii on instead of Wii Sports. Would have put Resistance on instead of MotorStorm, would have put Halo 1 higher on the list, propbably number 2, would have definitely put on Soul Calibur (where the hell is it!?!?). Etc. I thought this list would be pretty straightforward and would be tough to neglect the stand-outs and so forth, and yet somehow they managed to completely screw it up in my opinion haha.
Ive been gaming for 20 years and the SNES IMO is the best of all time
then the Ps2
