From Kotaku:
Today's your chance to vote for the PS3 Game of the Year. The nominees are:
Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare
Ratchet & Clank Future: Tools of Destruction
Uncharted: Drake's Fortune
MW 2019 is five years old at this point and on previous gen hardware, but it is still the best looking Call of Duty game to date.
MW was an excellent videogame. They messed up Spec Ops big time, but aside from this it was a huge step in the right direction initially. Most notably, at launch it seemed to come from a very cohesive creative vision that was felt across gameplay, to story to art style/visual direction. It was also very notably written by prominent ex-Naughty Dog guys that quit almost immediately before release.
That COMPLETELY dissolved through post-launch content and the full pivot to a "cross-mode" narrative that completely obliterated the cohesion in overall story direction. Warzone then "became" the new face of Call of Duty and the franchise completely removed itself from anything remotely creatively "good". It is a pure money machine, so I kinda get why they're doing it....but I personally completely lost interest.
I would love to see Infinity Ward move off CoD and get to make their own product with full control. They clearly have some massive talent in their ranks but it's perverted by Activision's corporate interests.
Call Of Duty is back with its yearly instalment, but is Modern Warfare 3 breaking new ground, or just a lazy cash grab? The answer may not surprise you in today's review from JDR.
The original Modern Warfare and Modern Warfare 2 games have been drawing players back in
I really hope we get other activision games on GP soon. My dream would be Scarface but I know the license probably expired
None of those games had dedicated servers on console in the first place? Were always player hosted. Did something change?
Uncharted and ratchet was amazing .. really amazing .
but I must say GOOD JOB infinity ward for making this game for ALL platforms at best..
my choice is 1- Uncharted for the best graphics for console gaming , best design , smooth gameplay , replay value in single player mode. blah blah ..
cant wait for 2008 .. for sure we will have 50 choice for GOTY
i choose ratchet. Very refreshing game after all the shooters like warhawk and gears and such and such it was a nice change to play a platformer and they had EXCELLENT sixaxis implementation too
Uncharted for me
warhawk a very close second
Uncharted hands down
I'm playing ut3...I know someone's gonna leave feedback under me and say..."what the heck are u waiting for JC?!" lol...I downloaded the Ratchet & Clank Future: ToD demo from the PS Store this morning...some of the fellow N4G's recommended I buy Ratchet...since I've never played a Ratchet game (GASP! lol) I'll try the demo first for a lil sample...game on...
