COD4 Beats Uncharted & Ratchet as PSU's Game of the Year 2007

PSU writes:
"With the New Year upon us, it's time look back at the games that have graced our PlayStation 3's and congratulate the best of them for helping us through the ups and downs of 2007.

The Game of the Year award goes to the title that provides both a creative new experience in its genre and solid gameplay. Not only that, but titles must exhibit other key factors, such as those which have mystified us with intriguing stories, beautiful graphics, lush sounds, and most importantly the addiction to continue coming back for more.

So, now you know what it is we're looking for, why not join us and find out just what it is we picked for this prestigious award?"

Pretty interesting choice from a PS3 site. Both games are great but personally, I agree with their choice for PS3 GOTY. Ratchet is also pretty amazing and definitly an AAA game.

captainpwn5957d ago

Call of Duty 4 is a great game, and my FPS of the year, but I'd definitely choose Uncharted as GoTY for PS3. It's the first game where I didn't ever think about skipping the cut scenes, and it had this intensity that made me feel anxious when something was happening to Nathan or Elena. The way it connected, the way the graphics were perfect to every detail, the story, and shooting up pirates. That was Uncharted. Call of Duty 4 has much more replay value, but Uncharted is just one of those experiences you can't miss.

MK_Red5957d ago

I'm not saying Uncharted is not great or GOTY. I just believe the gameplay and specially shooting parts needed more polish. Plus, the platforming parts were too simple and overall, the game wasn't much innovative.
COD4 had the perfect singleplayer along with innovative multiplayer and although I'm no fan of MP, I found COd4's MP seriously enjoyable.

InMyOpinion5957d ago

COD 4 has more lastability than Uncharted & Ratchet. Both a single player campaign and a deep online experience. That might have been why they chose it to be GOTY.

Equinoxe_75957d ago

I agree, I see R: Tod and Uncharted more as showcase games, we still have to wait to see what the system is cable of, hope to see it soon, Little big planet, killzone, mgs4.

COD4 multi-player must be fantabulous the be considered GOTY cuz the single-player is so boring imo.

MK_Red5956d ago

MP of COD4 is awesome but come on, COD4's singleplayer is short but it's not boring.

Shankle5956d ago

I adored the single player. I just kind of wish it didn't have the few bad patches it does. It builds up such a sense of realism that in the later levels, when it starts chucking whole platoons of enemies at you to up the difficulty, it feels horrible. It defies fps convention by being realistic, so when it stops being realistic, it just feels like another videogame, which ruins those moments. However, the vast majority of it is f*cking awesome, and anyone who can get this game and doesn't is a chump in my book.

COD4 Online Rocks...

Add me
PSN Superam

am good i deserve to be in Top 10 in kills just that i don't play 24/7

Myth5956d ago

Bottom line you should compare single player vs single player. Multiplayer vs Multiplayer. If a game has no multiplayer then you should only compare the single player parts of the game. COD4 online is great, but Uncharted is a better single player game than COD4. Think about guys, does that mean if a game has multiplayer it's automatically better than a game that does not.

PS3n3605956d ago

i play cod4 on 360 and it is also great. really a toss up but I think Uncharted was definately the PS3 exclusive of the year. I still think about how beautiful the environments were. It felt like participating in a movie and that is the first time I felt that in a game. I really enjoyed the jumping swinging around on stuff and the really great camera work. Bottom line COD4 overall game of the year multiplatform Uncharted PS3 game of the year and 360 exclusive I cant say cause I havent stopped playing gears since last year.

Why MW 2019 is still the best looking Call of Duty to date

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.

I really hope we get other activision games on GP soon. My dream would be Scarface but I know the license probably expired

P_Bomb284d ago

Love me some Scarface! I even bought the comics. Yeah, licensing would probably be an impasse.

4Sh0w284d ago

hmmm, coincidence? Either way this is a good sign for gamers after the ABK deal.

porkChop284d ago

I played through Scarface again last year and it still holds up. Such a fun game. I would love for Xbox to get the rights back to remaster Scarface and make a sequel. It sold well and they had plans for Scarface 2, 3, and 4. With how long it takes Rockstar to make games the market is wide open.

TheColbertinator284d ago

That game was so much fun. Expected a cheap GTA clone but it was a good drug empire building game.

shinoff2183284d ago

They didn't just have plans but there's actual gameplay out there for scarface 2

neutralgamer1992284d ago

Seriously man we need games like

True crime
Sleeping dogs
Watch dogs( more like original not legion)
And proper saints row

GTA can’t be the only option we need other games

P_Bomb284d ago

@neutral
Gun was Activision as well. Nice open world Wild West there imo.

neutralgamer1992282d ago

Gun is such a underrated game

None of those games had dedicated servers on console in the first place? Were always player hosted. Did something change?

Rutaprkl283d ago

Older cods like Mw, Mw2 and WaW were way better than Call of Dutys nowadays

GoodGuy09283d ago

Make activision remaster mw2 (2009) multiplayer please xbox.
