Heavy Rain definitely. What a brilliant game!

Its a shame for BioShock 2 though, even though its still one of the best, its been overshadowed by the likes of Mass Effect 2 and Heavy Rain...

Al Bundy5190d ago

Heavy Rain had no competition in February.

A Cupcake for Gabe5190d ago

I am enjoying Bioshock 2. I agree with reviews that this game only really suffers from it's lack of shock & awe that the first one has, but it's never-the-less wonderful.

Hands down goes to Heavy Rain. I have yet to experience anythig this emotionally gripping. It's consuming my soul. An to all who hate, grow up!

JonnyBigBoss5190d ago

Nice summary. The top 3 games were all great.

MajesticBeast5190d ago

Heavy Rain no competition bioshock 2 doesnt even come close. I have never played such a intense and emotional game as Heavy Rain. Sony better lock up QD's next game cause i cant wait.

KING855190d ago

I have not opened up Bioshock 2 nor have I finished the first, but Heavy Rain is definitely an experience where you will either love or hate it. I am enjoying my time with it so far and I propose if you have the opportunity to rent it please do. I am a FPS man, but this game really has me engrossed in it. Have not felt this way since MGS4.

Halo3 MLG Pro5190d ago

Both Bioshock 2 and Heavy Rain are rated 88%, although I would give it to Bioshock 2 since that's more of a real game than Heavy Rain.

TheHater5190d ago

So something out of the norm isn't a real game? f##king please. Go play Halo you noob

bjornbear5190d ago (Edited 5190d ago )

you would give it to Bioshock 2 because a person like you could never appreciate something like Heavy Rain, just like you could never appreciate Citezen Kane, Guernica or Mario Puzo's works =)

its ok though, sometimes it isn't in the numbers, its in the heart ;)

@ TheHater -

he's not a noob.

noob's are crappy gamers, but they are gamers nonetheless

this guy is just a poser =/

DelbertGrady5190d ago (Edited 5190d ago )

The works you mentioned didn't have severe plot holes and also didn't need boobs to be interesting.

Heavy Rain is a great game. Reminds me of early 90's cd-rom games.

bjornbear5190d ago

i don't know about plot holes, so far i'm on my 1st play through and there are some weird stuff, but until i play the game in all possible ways (which I doubt those preaching of the plot holes did) i won't know.
+ remember DLC will also come so they can't explain EVERYTHING, they need to leave some "holes" to fill

and if YOU think the boobies make the game anymore interesting than it already is, thats your thing

to me, the boobies are probably the best i've ever seen in a game, but the game would have been identically amazing without them.

Cerberus21255190d ago

I'm 99.99% sure you did not play HR,your plot holes claims comes from those Reviewers who wanted to do inconsistent choices in the game and expected to end up with a perfect ending,by playing the game ounces.one of the DLCs is the taxidermist,witch I'm sure you guys remember the video of Madison braking into a house,so...no plot holes in this game.

KiRBY30005190d ago

"Both Bioshock 2 and Heavy Rain are rated 88%, although I would give it to Bioshock 2 since it's available on 360 while Heavy Rain is not."

your welcome.

pansenbaer5190d ago

"Severe plot holes"

Lolz...

You didn't play the game and didn't give it time to all sink in. There are very few instances in the game that don't add up. And even those...they do if you think about it.

Halo3 MLG Pro5190d ago

"Citezen Kane, Guernica or Mario Puzo's works"

LMAO! You're comparing all that to Heavy Rain??? Are you insane? Heavy Rain's plot comes straight out of your typical prime time tv drama. More like Murder She Wrote.

kingdavid5190d ago

I only had a plothole with norman jayden which involved the mini tanks.

LeonSKennedy4Life5190d ago

Guys...don't take SodaPopinsky and Halo3MLGPro seriously.

They're just here to troll unsuspecting people who tend to lean toward the Sony side of things.

Lol.

Neither of them are serious.

Soda's downplaying the game to cheapen the experience and Halo3's trying to say Bioshock 2 is better than Heavy Rain.

I have no idea why you guys believed them. Haha...

bjornbear5190d ago

@ Halo - LOL i bet you had to google those 3 things before you even knew the context of my comment! xD AND your missing the point

i wasn't comparing story, but impact in the area they come out in.

HR is doing a far bigger impact intellectually to the gaming industry/community than many games have for a long time JUST LIKE the 3 things I mentioned did in their area when they came out =)

understand what you are replying to or risk missing the point and...failing.

+ what would you know about story quality? Look at your avatar xD

you are a joke i can't take you seriously on anything you say

Didn't the creator write it? It also made a fortune based on the budget so from a business standpoint it is a massive success.

Why BioShock Deserves the Dead Space Remake Treatment

Dead Space recently received a popular remake that was faithful yet constructive, and the original BioShock is also deserving of this treatment.

banger88406d ago

No it doesn't need it. It was remastered in 60 fps last gen and still looks and plays great. Would be a waste of time, money and resources imo. It's games from 3 or 4 gens back that could use the remake treatment.

FallenAngel1984406d ago

There have already been 7th gen remakes of games already

Dead Space in particular already proves that just because a game looks good on original hardware doesn’t mean it cant look and play better

Jin_Sakai406d ago

Agreed although I’m ready for some new groundbreaking IP this generation.

IamTylerDurden1406d ago (Edited 406d ago )

Agreed. Remasters already happened and still look n play fantastic. DS was a different animal. It needed a remake, Bioshock doesn't NEED it. Infinite Remastered for example is extremely viable even today. What we do need is Bioshock 4. Rumors that equated to zip. Where is it? Ken really blew the pooch as well. Left to go do what? He was inspired by Tell Tale or something and went off to become irrelevant. Nice. And Bioshock Vita was scrapped. Fantastic.

toxic-inferno405d ago

Bioshock 4 is definitely still in development. News trickles out about it every couple of months.

And Ken's next game (Judas) looks great from the teaser trailer.

IamTylerDurden1406d ago (Edited 406d ago )

Yeah. Pretty much. I understand why they did it with TLOU to coincide with the show but certainly it didn't NEED a remake desperately. Obviously u are trolling and expect me defend anything Sony but idgaf about all that. I say what i feel is the truth.

Just like TLOU i wouldn't be upset if Bioshock received a remake but it doesn't desperately need it. I'd probably even play it bc like TLOU, i love Bioshock, but in these aren't identical scenarios either. Ppl kill ND for TLOU Remake yet it wasn't even their project originaly. It started as a potential Uncharted remake and passion project via Visual Arts and was passed to Bend i believe? ND took over bc the project obviously wasn't where it needed to be. And yet they still had Factions and possibly TLOU 3 in development as well. Bioshock has been dormant for a decade bar the remaster. Rumors of a sequel haven't materialised. A remake without a sequel would be disappointing. TLOU Remake is more tolerable knowing sequel/spinoffs are in development. Like i said, dif situation.

neutralgamer1992405d ago

It's not all about looks only

Tweaks to story
Tweaks to characters
Improvements to gameplay

Original bioshock have the worst puzzle solving system and can get frustrating quickly

WiiU-Dude405d ago

The last part you said I agree COMPLETELY!!! Game companies need to mine games from the Sega Saturn, PS1 and N64 days and even the Dreamcast, GameCube, and PS2 days to give a full update to. I know those would require more work, but there are PLENTY of gems from those days that people would LOVE to play again or for the first time with a facelift!!! I know I would.

The games that need remaking are.

Resistance fall of man.
Motorstorm.

PS5 would produce something special.

There's been such an advancement in tech since the PS3 days. It would be awesome. DAY 1 BUY for me.

Storm23406d ago

I would kill for Resistance 1-3 Remake/Remaster. Same with MotorStorm series and Killzone series. Man, I loved my PS3. Can we also get the Metal Gear series and rescue MGS4 off the PS3? There is a rumor of MGS3 getting a remake. One of, if not my number 1, favorite game of all time.

On topic, I played Bioshock like 6 months after release after hearing from everyone and their mother how incredible it was. I know I will be in the minority on this, but I couldn't get into it. I think my expectations were too high. Totally my fault. Maybe I should give it another chance...

IamTylerDurden1406d ago (Edited 406d ago )

Agreed, Killzone as well, but Sony has no interest in the future of those IP. It won't happen. If they cared about Motorstorm they wouldn't have axed Evolution. The last remaster from a dead studio "Wipeout" was exceptional yet nobody supported it. Even with a free VR inclusion. If ppl want these remasters...actually support the ones that release. Medievil same thing. Ppl cried for Demon's Souls Remake, The Last Guardian, Shenmue 3 and the sales didn't match the cries. None of these games sold as u would imagine given the internet pleas for these titles over a decade or more. DeS Remake did alright but given the circumstances it should've sold better. 92 Meta, PS5 launch exclusive, stunning visuals, and the first of the genre in an age where Eldin Ring will push 30 million units. Yes, DeS is only one platform but still.

Binarycode403d ago

I do agree mostly with what you said.

I bought killzone,2,3. Did not like 4 other then it's graphics.

I bought infamous 1,2. Second son never did it for me apart from again the graphics, so parts were good. But world felt too empty. Probably needed a PS5 to do it justice.

Bought all the Resistance and Motorstorms, those games were awesome. They 100% need a remake.

PS3 was just an awesome machine, I know it was a pain to develop for, but it had some many titles that I loved.
I really enjoyed the Bioshock series, the first 2 were best. Very good games.

As for Demon souls.and the souls series in general. They never have had massive sales. I think because they are very hard games. we are talking a million or less. I think the remaster did 1.4million.

Motorstorm pacific rift did 1.4million PS3.I think.

Hopefully some of them will come back.

-Foxtrot406d ago

I would love this

Expand on the lore

Incorporate Bioshock Infinite and Bioshock 2 plot lines

Add room rooms or maybe even an extra area

Maybe new plasmids

Give Jack a personality and add voice acting, it worked for Isaac. Jack did speak at the start of the game so adding onto that and giving him convos between Atlas or Ryan would be great

Aussiesummer406d ago

Man could you imagine what bioshock would look like in ue5 with full raytracing, phwaaarrrhh.
