The 10 Greatest Videogame Trilogies of All Time

When you look at the incredible amount of video games that come out every year, a very small percentage can be called good, let alone great. Therefore it’s always a pleasant surprise when three games in the franchise come out in a row, creating a beautiful trilogy of greatness. With Gears of War 3 coming out this week and the third installments in the Uncharted and Mass Effect franchises appearing in the next few months, it’s a good time to check out the 10 greatest video game trilogies of all time.

Fable...LOL

Let's wait untill November the 1st and add Uncharted in there, hell they could of added Gears instead

DarkCharizard__5022d ago

I'm surprised no DKC trilogy on the list and also halo is rated way too low!

omi25p5022d ago (Edited 5022d ago )

Halo 3
Gears of War 3
Fallout 3
Splinter Cell Chaos Theory
Metal Gear Solid 3
Elderscrolls: Morrowind
Grand Theft Auto 3
Assassins Creed

Iroquois_Pliskin5022d ago

god why is Mgs so good!? now i feel like poping in MGS3 and Mgs2

agentace5022d ago

Jak & daxter should be on that easily.
I would say R&C aswell but thats more than a trilogy, like most of the stuff on that list lol

meetajhu5022d ago (Edited 5022d ago )

MGS and God of War 3. /end of topic

Tony P5022d ago

A very loose definition of trilogy.

TheLastGuardian5022d ago

I would have the Sly Cooper trilogy on my list.

RedDead5021d ago (Edited 5021d ago )

It's a pretty good list, if I could add two and take away one then gears, Uncharted and take out Fable(I mean really? First was good, other 2...fu** no)

iamnsuperman5022d ago

Not sure how gta can be counted as a triology. A triology suggests a countinous story/world

NukaCola5022d ago

Not one these games are a trilogy. Every title has well more than 3 game, and most aren't even in a trilogy. RE is working on 6 mainline games, and mortal kombat is well over 10, hell MGS has 4 main and 7 other titles.

morganfell5022d ago (Edited 5022d ago )

Agreed except Metal Gear has 7 main (canon) titles:

Metal Gear
Metal Gear 2: Solid Snake
Metal Gear Solid
Metal Gear Solid 2: Sons of Liberty
Metal Gear Solid 3: Snake Eater
Metal Gear Solid 4
Metal Gear Solid: Portable Ops
Metal Gear Solid: Peace Walker

EDIT: We already know that Uncharted will be at least a quadrilogy with Uncharted Golden Abyss being a canon title as well.

NukaCola5022d ago (Edited 5022d ago )

There is also Rising. Snake's Revenege(non claimed obviously...lol), MGS Acid, MGS3D 3DS version, numerous directors cuts and a title for the Gameboy Color.

I think a great example of a series with only 3 games that are truly sequels to each other are Gears of War, Naughty Dog's Crash Bandicoot, Sly Cooper(I know now there is a 4th coming) and even Star Wars Jedi Knight. I mean something that is legitimate.

GTA Vice and San Andreas aren't even in the line up, it's 2 GTAs for Pc/PS1/Dreamcast and the third is for PS2, plus there's the 4th..lol and a DS/PSP game about the same city, and a PSP Stories title.

Silly article...not much thought put in.

ChickenOfTheCaveMan5022d ago

Probably most of you won't agree, but this retro love is gotta stop.

Mario..no 1..unbelievable!

That's like putting Blade of Steel or NHL 94 in no 1 for top 10hockey simulation.

Mario and Sonic have been really good in their times, but they can in no way be ahead of stuff like God of War.

jacksonmichael5022d ago

... Seriously? You have an out with the old, in with the new attitude on video games? That's as moronic as saying the new episodes of the Simpsons are the best ones yet. C'mon.

ChickenOfTheCaveMan5022d ago

I guess this is why Hollywood gives us so much remakes, people loves old stuff much more than new things.

Nostalgia to me is bad because it makes people pretend old crap is great...

ShaunCameron5022d ago

Yeah. And you probably the same person who thinks Justin Bieber is greater than Michael Jackson just because he was "good for his time."

But anyways, I'm not that bothered by Mario and Sonic ranking higher than God Of War. Maybe it's because they both contributed more to the platforming genre and video games in general than God Of War contributed to the hack-and-slash action genre.

ChickenOfTheCaveMan5022d ago

Bad creations have been made and some new one these days are also bad. But the great new ones are way better than Mario/Sonic...

Graphics are amazing, and so are gameplay and storylines.

Mario's story was that he wanted to free the princess but kept on searching in the wrong castle, hum, great.

Yes they contributed, but that shouldn't place them first.

Tony P5022d ago

I think it's pretty ignorant to ignore the wealth of retro games that are still as viable as any modern game.

Maybe you didn't get to play many?

Matpan5021d ago (Edited 5021d ago )

What´s wrong with the "retro love"?... I mean, You have to meassure and consider a game for what it was at it´s time to make a fair comparisson and both sonic and mario games, specially the first ones where outstanding examples of game design, art direction and great music score for their time. In that aspect, they easily hold a candle to titles like God of War III... heck! they even got quite much more replay value than MANY of the so cold new classics...

It´s one thing not to jump into the golden years wagon and love ahything for the sake of nostalgia, there were lots of shitty games back in the 8 and 16 bit era. But those titles that still hold their name and were flagship for their respective platforms, made their place for a reason. And there should be no reason (unless the article specifies so) to cut off games from certain era out of these rankings.

Mario (and Sonic in it´s way) refined and defined a gameplay style that was the norm for over ten years and were both a landmark of their time (and all that with little cosmetic change)

I´d like to see how many people would have jumped into GOD of war III (a fun game, don´t get me wrong, played it and enjoyed the ride for the time it lasted) had it not been the technical showcase it was. And the series is relatively new, to be honest...

Now had Uncharted made it into that list, or even Gears...Those would have been better contenders against Sonic or Mario as (in my opinion) hold more of the spirit of this generation than a game like GoW.

SuperStrokey11235021d ago

But Blades of Stell IS the best hockey game of all time, only ice hockey comes close.

darthv727d ago (Edited 7d ago )

no surprise... this gen has been 'almost' a total wash for Sony. They has been shifting games to 26. Probably to pad out the eventual release of the PS6, which is also rumored for 26/27.

Obscure_Observer7d ago

"They has been shifting games to 26. Probably to pad out the eventual release of the PS6, which is also rumored for 26/27"

Maybe their first crossgen game between PS6 and PS5?

I´m also expecting Cory´s new game to be crossgen at this point, while GT8 to be their first true next gen only game at launch.

neutralgamer19926d ago

Obscure

Everything will be cross generations. There won't be many games which will be just next generation only. As we move forward tech isn't going to give a huge jump when it comes to consoles. So why cut off part of your install base whom are easier consumers to target

We still see games being released on PS4. Sony might be looking at finishing strong going into PS6 with a lot of momentum. In 2026/2027

ND new IP
Sony santa Monica 2 games
Sucker punch 2nd team
Insomniac games wolverine and ratchet and clank

At launch of PS6 we may see Spiderman 3 day one with the console

Eonjay7d ago

How can this game be postponed if it was never announced to be launching in 2025? It hasn't been announced at all in fact.

Mmmkay6d ago

ps6 has never been rumored for 26. lol. where do you get your 'facts' ? this gow game has not been announced either so no one expected a release in 25.

generic-user-name6d ago

I'll be surprised if PS6 is out before 2028, gens get longer and longer and they've no need to rush it with most of their first party yet to reveal their PS5 titles.

MIDGETonSTILTS177d ago

How can an unannounced game be delayed?

Jin_Sakai7d ago

Because maybe that was their internal target?

Ganif6d ago

Exactly...

Even if this game exists it obviously never had a 2025 release date since we're halfway through the year and it hasn't even been announced yet.

CrimsonWing696d ago

Man, I wish we could go back to the hood ol’ days of God of War. I totally understand the craft and talent that went into the modern version, but I found them incredibly boring. I love the spectacle and unapologetic visceral and energy of the originals. They were shocking, brutal, and completely bad-ass. Wish we could get back to those days.

gold_drake6d ago (Edited 6d ago )

mhh i dunno, i like the old games, but they were rly just one note.

still very fun tho

Toecutter006d ago (Edited 6d ago )

Hate to break it to you, but we've already had, like, seven GoW games set in Greek mythology. Did you mean Egyptian mythology...in your headline?

gold_drake6d ago

i was about to say this exact thing haha

FernDiggidy6d ago (Edited 6d ago )

wait wait wait wait. Greek Mythology? wtf? Why are why are we going back?

edit: Supposedly it's a spinoff and its metriodvania style????? SIGN ME UP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

And not in a good way! GOW 2018 was not what I was expecting either, and it blew me away! However this is like a popcorn fart in church.

Elda22d ago

I wouldn't mind playing that, I'm guessing somewhat in the vein of Prince Of Persia:TLC but hopefully with better graphics.

RaidenBlack21d ago

Which 2.5D tho?
I think its a top down perspective game.

PassNextquestion21d ago

2.5D can be done in many different ways. It could be as simple as a size scrolling game with 3D backgrounds

Nebaku21d ago

Well it says "Metroidvania". I think you can derive which kind of 2.5D from that.

ravens5221d ago

🤔 Interesting. Nothing wrong with switching it up to a different genre of game for a side project. Hope they don't try to do that to a main entry.

jznrpg21d ago

This sounds very interesting. I love a good Metroidvania.

Deathdeliverer21d ago

Actually sounds good as hell in my imagination. Definitely interested.
