John from NAGF writes: "What a decade it’s been! As gamers we’ve been well and truly spoiled for choice across all genres. There’s been so many games released, so many franchises created that it didn’t feel right or fair to do a top ten poll and choose any one winning game character or a favourite. They’re all winners, and any of the below could easily have romped to top spot.
"So, in the spirit of things, we’ve just picked ten characters who stuck in our mind most during the past decade and who we’d love to be friends with in real life. Master Chief isn’t in there though cause we aint really fans of Halo, hyuck hyuck!"
GB: "With this feature, we talk about 15 games on the PS3 that should be remade for the PlayStation 5."
The head of Nightdive Studios has posted that The Darkness is on their list of games they want to do, so hopefully something comes from that
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.
Good suggestions, I'd be in for
LittleBigPlanet
LittleBigPlanet 2
Motorstorm: Pacific Rift
Motorstorm: RC
God damn I love motorstorm so much
At the time I had a low-mid range sony 40” tv, The latency to the controller was waaaay too high, would to play a modern version
In saying that later I got a 3d lg tv and playing the 3d motorstorm in my bedroom with the environment crumbling around the track, was something special, specially compared to what others were playing at the time, will always remember that
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.
Yeah for sure, sequels would be ideal. But in the current market environment where many big publishers are risk-averse, I'd rather get a remaster or remake that a developer can do on a budget that will be approved, rather than nothing for an IP.
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.
Yeah I'd be fine with remasters of PS3 games too, they don't have to be remakes.
Rockstar Games’ shiny new Red Dead Redemption port is now on GTA+, and you can play it while claiming some tasty GTA Online benefits.
Rockstar still strying to make GTA plus work
Should be $6 for the rdr game on sale not 6 bucks for a months playtime
I hear ya, 49.99 or whatever the price on that game is, is a bit stiff seeing as it's just a port.
One of my favorite games from PS3 generation. I have the remaster as there was a buy 2 get 1 free deal a while back but the price they are charging for the port is way too high although not surprising at all.
The Opening Levels that hooked gamers from the outset.
"Master Chief isnt in there though cause we aint really fans of Halo".
I've never played Halo before (i dont even own a 360) and i think that MC should be on the list. I think it's unfair to not add characters like Master Chief and Mario, who are the main characters of some of the biggest games this gen. I agree with Kratos being on the list and i think that Nathan Drake should be on the list also. Just my opinion, of course.
Sly, Jak and Daxter or Ratchet and Clank. You may of liked the game but come on, those other characters have appear in many great games.
Also I don't disagree with CJ because San Andreas is the best GTA game ever.
Marston is a boring chaeracter, captain price who the hell is captain price, o yea that cod character we never heard of. Carl ‘CJ’ Johnson is like any other gangster and that is great, but GTA is really boring. Solid Snake is sony's legendary mascot like nintendo has mario, but snake is the biggest game character now because this topic is prof, do you see mario no because reviews do not matter. Kratos is just bad ass he took over dante's spot and became the best action character that is why god of war beat devil may cry 3 and got goty. The joker is just crazy ass cold blooded killer who dont care lol. The other characters i havent mention i dont have a problem with as long as solid snake is there its fine for me.
Aha, conflict!
When we fashioned this poll we tried to be as 'cross-platform' as we could possibly have been - but ten years is an awful long time in gaming. So, for us, it was a case of putting in who immediately sprang to mind. That to us is an indicator of who has made the biggest impact and impression on us as gamers.
It's not like we didn't play Halo - we have. We just don't take to it as keenly as everyone else. Marston, to us, has far more depth and personality than a character such as Master Chief, though we're incredibly respectful of his influence on the gaming industry as a whole.
Mario, from our point of view, is virtually in every single poll ever. We wanted to pick some fresh characters that you can reel off quotes from to your friends and socialise with. Drake just missed out, and PaRappa was also a massive shout, simply cause when we're shopping for onions we turn to our mums and say 'KICK, PUNCH' to her eternal confusion.
But we're happy it's causing such debate and it shows people care, thanks for the comments! Maybe a 'Top 100 over the last 10 years' would have been better...
ethan mars!
