if some aren't games then why is the article best video games...and if they aren't best sellers what makes it the best, a matter of simple opinion?

deadreckoning6665093d ago

No Super Street Fighter 4 huh? Watevs, its his opinion.

darthdevidem015093d ago

What a flawed article, are they wanting hits with misleading headlines like that?

Not to mention they miss out some amazing games.

RagTagBnd4455093d ago

OMG, screenshot from Mass Effect 1 when he talks about Mass Effect 2, and that God Of War shot did not look like the GOW3 kratos model.

Rucury5093d ago (Edited 5093d ago )

Yeah, the screenshot is from Mass Effect 1.

However, that IS a screenshot from God of War 3. It's actually the ending. I know, Kratos looks weird...

Either that, or it is the ending of God of War 2... Oh, I think it's from God of War 2. Huh.

BiggCMan5093d ago

shows how much u guys know lol. it is in fact from god of war 2.

TheCagyDies5093d ago

Yeah, that shot is right after Athena dies in God of War II...

overrated445093d ago

I nitpick about every little thing because someone has a different opinion than me.

seij5555093d ago

How did this guy give Alan Wake a higher score than ME2 and GOW3???

saoco5093d ago

i was wondering the same...

kancerkid5093d ago

It is called an opinion. Sometimes people have different opinions than yourself. Get over it.

mcslick1015093d ago

To be honest, I prefer Alan Wake over GoW3 and would put Wake on par with ME2. It's just a matter of opinion at the end of the day and I think he nailed the best games of the year thus far.

Arnon5093d ago

I loved God of War 3. I beat it three times and received the platinum trophy for it. But I agree with you that I enjoyed Alan Wake more.

I just want 4k/1440p and 60fps support. And with little glitches too ofc.

Snookies1222h ago(Edited 22h ago)

This is about the PC version of RDR 1. The PC version of RDR 2 doesn't have a frame rate cap. Though I do agree, it is mind boggling that Rockstar still hasn't released a patch for consoles.

XiNatsuDragnel2d ago (Edited 2d ago )

It'll be great if true

LucasRuinedChildhood1d 10h ago (Edited 1d 10h ago )

Hopefully 60fps on consoles for RDR2 is next then.

LucasRuinedChildhood1d 9h ago (Edited 1d 9h ago )

Honestly, a PS5 Pro isn't even needed for 60fps in this case. But if they wanted to use it show a game running maxed out at a high resolution at 60fps, I wouldn't complain. Just give us 60fps. lol

I think the Series X might have an issue running the One X version at a locked 60fps as that version was a full native 4K but they could just lower the resolution a bit.

purple1011d 9h ago (Edited 1d 9h ago )

I wish to play both stellar blade, and rdr2, on the pro, maxed out like an expensive pc,

would be good, especially for the price, even if thats £499/ £549

last I checked, a rtx 4070super was £580 for just the card!

DaReapa1d 10h ago

There aren't many games I'd double dip for, but having originally gotten this for PS3, I would happily get this if true.

Alan Wake, from Max Payne and Control creator Remedy, is a horror classic, prompting one player to buy 4,000 copies that don’t even work.

Kind of a goody story...

On a serious note, that is why I try activating gift cards asap. It's happened to me where the store didnt scan it right where the card was unusuable. Happened at Wally World.

gigoran829d ago

wait, that place is real? national lampoon wasn't kidding?

Tacoboto28d ago

I just bought two of the MonsterVerse Godzilla movies on 4K - both had digital copies expiring in 2023. Both were actually expired.

I'd be surprised but it's WB, of course they'd actually expire them

Knightofelemia29d ago

Usually most of those redemption card have an expiry date on them. If they expired all buyer did was buy recycled paper. And some of those codes are country locked to certain countries. I buy a card from the States I can't use it in Canada.

Chocoburger29d ago

Dumb and silly story. She wasted her money for no reason.

Is it really that hard to go to Steam or GOG. She spent $240, when its currently 70% off on GOG, and only costs $4.49.

Gee, I wonder, should I spend $240 on eBay, or $4.49 on GOG? 🙄

Rynxie29d ago

Most likely she wanted to resell a few or most of them. However, it was a too good to be true situation.

Profchaos29d ago

So in short she paid $240.00 assuming usd for a bunch on unactivated game codes.

I still don't understand why I guess cause there's not a physical version and she wanted something for a collection or art project.

Rynxie29d ago

No, most likely to resell. However, she ended up getting screwed.

Asplundh29d ago

This is Alan Wake 1, it had physical copies.

You left out The Darkness games bring those back

fan_of_gaming34d ago

The head of Nightdive Studios has posted that The Darkness is on their list of games they want to do, so hopefully something comes from that

Yi-Long34d ago

Little Big Planet 1 and 2 deserve a mention, IMO.

Good call on Motorstorm, a game released 2 gens ago but still looks and feels so good. Motorstorm 2 and Motorstorm RC were gems as well. They followed up the Motorstorm games with the brilliant Driveclub, which still manages to put modern racing games to shame. Imagine closing down a studio as talented as that ... (!) Incredible.

A little 'arcade-gem' back then was The Last Guy, a top down 'follow the leader' snake-like game where you had to find and lead survivors to safety during an alien invasion, on terrible looking 'Google-earth' maps. Graphics were poor, even back then, but would love that same gameplay with modern maps and graphics.

Street Fighter 4, once it finally had a full roster, was quite good, but it was always an ugly game, sadly. Imagine bringing that back while using the current SF6 engine.

fan_of_gaming34d ago

Good suggestions, I'd be in for
LittleBigPlanet
LittleBigPlanet 2
Motorstorm: Pacific Rift
Motorstorm: RC

purple10134d ago

God damn I love motorstorm so much

At the time I had a low-mid range sony 40” tv, The latency to the controller was waaaay too high, would to play a modern version

In saying that later I got a 3d lg tv and playing the 3d motorstorm in my bedroom with the environment crumbling around the track, was something special, specially compared to what others were playing at the time, will always remember that

Skuletor34d ago

Some good choices here and Resistance: Fall of Man is my most wanted PS3 remaster/remake. Not sure about their claim it was Sony's answer to Gears of War though.

CrimsonWing6934d ago

I’d rather have sequels than remakes. Look at Dead Space 1 Remake. Would’ve been cooler if we got a new entry and it failed with sales sealing the fate of a sequel rather than just replay the same game and it fail in sales and we never get a new entry.

Remakes are great for things like PS2 and earlier games to really get a crazy new graphical coat, but I think we should ease up on all these remakes and actually do sequels.

fan_of_gaming34d ago

Yeah for sure, sequels would be ideal. But in the current market environment where many big publishers are risk-averse, I'd rather get a remaster or remake that a developer can do on a budget that will be approved, rather than nothing for an IP.

Inverno34d ago

I rather they remaster and port over to PC and current gen all the games permanently stuck on PS360. Those games don't need remakes, they need to be given a chance to live again outside of their confined consoles and then give a few proper sequels. Like Sleeping Dogs, Motor Storm, LA Noir, should get another entry.

fan_of_gaming34d ago

Yeah I'd be fine with remasters of PS3 games too, they don't have to be remakes.
