Interesting tid bit, these guys gave the first game this score as well

Aery4707d ago (Edited 4707d ago )

Umm looking at the score with this web site looks like 8 is a good score except this fact :

Hunted demon forge : 4 (...it's a joke)
Motorstorm apocalypse : 5 (...another joke)
Killzone 3 : 7 (...)
Brink : 7 (same score of killzone 3)
Socom 4 : 6 (so brink is better, eh ?!)

and

Dragon age 2 : 9

There are other questionable high score, and reading their review looks like those guys don't really play the game.

manumit4707d ago (Edited 4707d ago )

and i think thats why it comes down to self opinion. Like transformers 2: My friend LOVES that movie and as for me i turned it off half way.

EDIT: 8 is a hell of a good score!

NateCole4707d ago

8 is an A when i was in Uni. People nowdays have way too high standards.

ImHereNow4707d ago

if an 8 equals an "A" at your school I feel sorry for you. And you/your parents should be slapped for paying the tuition.

SweetIvy4707d ago

Yes and No.
Of course there are tastes but then, there are also facts.
Your friend may like Transformers 2 for any reason but truth is there age huge holes in the plot and things that do not make sense etc. One can still like it but you cannot claim is a well done movie.

That's what reviewers are supposed to do. Review a game, of course the experience is "filtered" through someone own likes and dislikes, taste etc. Still there are things that are facts.
In games as well as in any form of craft or art; yet more often than not, it seem reviewers just ignore these facts, what's behind a game, what makes a game.
One may or not like Infamous 2 style, but giving it an 8 for Graphics, same score than Dragon Age 2 is not a matter of taste, is a matter of seeing an optician :P.
I also realize it may not be the same reviewers but I expect a site to have guidelines and be consistent in its reviews.

By the way, 8 was a 24/30 when I was in Uni (and still is) and as a vote it sucked.
Anything between 28 and 30+ is ok ;), well, if your goal is to be among the very best, of course :).

SweetIvy4707d ago (Edited 4707d ago )

What I find most interesting is to see and value the scores of games after I've played games and yes... you really have the feeling they don't really play games, or do it very quickly etc.

I haven't played Infamous 2 yet, of course but I've played the first, in hard and both as good and bad guy (I'd like to know how they played through this one, this kind of game TAKES time to be fully played/expriences/enjoyed... did they take the time?

I've got my plat on Motorstorm Apocalypse (didn't have that much fun online since Burnout Paradise), I love the tracks, the mayhem etc., quite unique and impressive.

I'm on my way to plat KZ3 (bolder and better than Kz2, extremely polished a sound 9+, for me), a serious pretender to GOTY (with a bunch other games this year though).

I've played Brink... good potential, good ideas behind it, very much unpolished and "rushed" but I see the potential for a nice new franchise and a Brink 2 could be very good.

I'm finishing SOCOM today, just missing the final campaign. Challenging, missions are a bit too long (the final ones at least) but great feel overall, pretty unique and definitely to play for a change in pace and style (a style I personally like, to have your squads to guide etc.).

So, I know I'm not on the wavelength of these guys...

Exquisik4707d ago (Edited 4707d ago )

You should definitely write reviews for games. Everything you said is spot on!

SweetIvy4707d ago (Edited 4707d ago )

double post... :)

Goeres4707d ago

Well, Gamereactor is known for rushing out their reviews.

Pintheshadows4707d ago

I just can't wait for this. I've become immediately addicted to the original again. I forgot just how good it was.

Fans of the action-adventure franchise have been eagerly awaiting news of a potential sequel to one of the best games on the PS4.

I want it too. Make it co-op as well.

-Foxtrot335d ago

Yeah they had a lightning bolt in the shape of a question mark at the end of Infamous 2

They always went off the good ending for Cole so I think for Delsin it should be the bad ending

What he did in the bad ending, absorbing everyone’s powers, seemed like he was going to turn into something powerful.

Makes you feel like he could have been the real Beast and John was just an anomaly because of them messing with time

Sets up a Cole vs Delsin showdown

potatoseal335d ago

How would fans feel about a reboot? You know to bring a new audience in? Not a good idea? Good idea?

anast334d ago

Not a god idea. They let it sit for too long and the game hasn't been strong enough to carry itself all these years. There is so much other stuff out there right now.

masterfox335d ago

Second Son was released in 2014 was an amazing game visually and gameplay wise, sometimes I play it again on the PS5 and seeing it run at 60 fps is something to behold(yes an almost 10 year old game), if you haven't done that on your PS5 try it you won't be disappointed, pure eye candy, a PS5 exclusive of Infamous would be amazing no doubt.

gold_drake335d ago

meh, i want Cole to come back.

or maybe a reboot. with cole.

Older PlayStation games that we'd love to see on the PlayStation 5

From Xfire: "For a company with a three-decade-long history in gaming, Sony has done a crappy job at preserving its legacy. "

Flawlessmic725d ago (Edited 725d ago )

All the mgs games, all the ape escapes, silent hill 1-4, croc 1 and 2, legend of dragoon, tekken 3,tenshu, bushido blade, vagrant story, okami, ico, crash bash, gt4.

Thats just off the top of my head that i would play immediately, still so many more though that id love.

Welshy724d ago

MGS, Silent Hill etc are no brainers, but you earned my thumbs up for our boi Croc. I talk about him all the time, it's an honour to find another man of culture.

Flawlessmic724d ago (Edited 724d ago )

Hahaha yea was one of my very first games i owned on ps1 as a child, great memories!!

Love to hear there other people out there that enjoyed the gem of a game that is croc 👌

RedDevils724d ago (Edited 724d ago )

Okami has HD version already. I want those Sly games though since PS3 and vita had it.

Flawlessmic724d ago

Yea sly would be cool, i never got into those so would be a good opportunity for me to do so.

But yea theres so many games in sony catalogue we coukd be here all day listing titles.

Hopefully we all get the ganes we are hoping for.

outsider1624725d ago

Tenchu 1 and 2
Socom 1 and 2
MGS 1-3
MGS4
ICO

seanpitt23725d ago

RDR2 for me they can boost that up to 60fps with better graphic settings than last gen

Luc20725d ago

Folklore. It was such a unique and beautiful game. Great soundtrack. I still have my PS3 copy

The_Hooligan725d ago

YES please! Also I would love to see Warhawk come back. Such an awesome game.

moriarty1889725d ago

The Resistance and a killzone series for me.

Bigman4k725d ago (Edited 725d ago )

Infamous 1 & 2 probably will get remaster for PS5/4 at some point as for the others in that article idk

If the PC can emulate the PS3, then for sure the PS5 would be able to do same. but dose Sony want it?

Mr Logic1388d ago

If there was money in it, then Sony would do it. People can bitch and moan all they want, but even if every person on this site used BC, that would still be a tiny fraction of gamers. Almost nobody really uses BC.

DethWish1388d ago (Edited 1388d ago )

I think there would be money if they made PS3 games downloadable through PSNow and added a bunch more.
Edit: I would get it if MGS4 was available

Mr Logic1388d ago

@DethWish

That would be an emulator. You're not making any sense.

DethWish1387d ago

Mr Logic, really? If PS5 could emulate PS3 games (BC) and PSNow would let you download and play PS3 games locally instead of streaming (like it lets you download PS4 games), wouldn't that be awesome? PSNow has some really interesting PS3 games, but I'd prefer to play them locally

MadLad1387d ago

Really?
Remasters of popular games do extremely well. MS basically hands them out for free. If people didn't want to play older games, then why do remasters sell so well?

anonymousfan1388d ago

I honestly would probably never ever use it... But I still think it would be pretty neat. Its one of the few avantages PC still has on console that is complete backwards compatibility. But for all the work needed to implement this I doubt it would be worth Sony's time.

Melankolis1387d ago

In my opinion.
The difference is independent emulator developer can build any emulator as an experiment that will be perfected for years, maybe more than 10 years. During that time, expect many glitch, bugs, and updates. They can do that because they do not have any obligation towards PC users or whatsoever.

Fos Sony, once they announce PS5 will be able to play PS3 games, they have to make it safe and playable for users. They do not want the emulator cause bricks, glitch, heating up or anything to the consoles and get sued for that.

Harkins17211387d ago

The amount of work it would require sony for each game probably isn't worth it. Maybe after rpcs3 is done they can patent it and use it. That's the dream lol

This has been going on for years any full game playable yet

EazyC1387d ago

Wish I never sold my PS3 for MGS IV alone, I'm dying to play it again

Gamerking821387d ago (Edited 1387d ago )

Any ps3 owner has too own this masterpiece . My disk drive has just gone on my old super slim . So I bought the digital version no questions ask . If you have a ps3 own this masterpiece that’s all I can say . I replay it every year and still find loads of enjoyment . The last true metal gear in my opinion . V was good and gameplay amazing , but it’s just not a metal gear quality story wise .
