ConsoleGaming.eu, the leading website in European competitive gaming and news, have begun their countdown of the 20 most influential games of all time.
Over the next four weeks the site will countdown the games 5 at a time, complete with a full analysis at to why the games were chosen and what makes them so relevant in today's gaming world.
They don't make games like this anymore.
Too dated in my book. The AI is way too unpredictable to be acceptable today. It's definitely a game of its time.
Agreed with those sentiments. The quality of the CPU controlled characters make or break a stealth game and they are pretty poor in all the Splinter Cell games by today's standard. This is what led me to playing Spies vs Mercs all the time in later games just to get a better stealth experience from a real person. Arguably Sony are making better stealth games albeit not Tom Clancy stuff.
You should stick with fortnite or one of the countless bloodborne style games then. What a joke.
I had a good time with the game. It is a product of its time. But when it came out it was a must have game for a lot of people. I wish Ubisoft would make another game in the series or at least a reboot.
They are making a remake, I think. I loved the original game when it was released, but I tried to play it again in recent years and just couldn't get on with it. The same with the older Hitman games.
Yeah chaos theory still holds up though I gotta say. If you’re a fan of the series I highly suggest you go back to that one. Ubi has said they are remaking sc for “modern audiences”. I don’t have a lot of faith for the future of that company
Due to the lack of modern stealth games, and me constantly playing the MGS series, I've been looking for alternative stealth games to play, and went back and re-played the SC series recently. I wouldn't call SC1 or SC:PT masterpieces, there are AI issues, they're very much trial-and-error games, and that can lead to a lot of frustration. I also found the stories in this series to be boring, uninteresting, and just sloppily told. Cinematics are also of poor quality for both in-game scenes and CG cut-scenes, the soundtrack didn't leave any impression on me either.
Chaos Theory is better, but there was still a lot of room for improvement, and Double Agent (old gen ver.) was a sloppy mess that ended up a regression from CT. But still, at least they tried back then, these days Ubi-junk doesn't even try to make good games!
Skewed and Reviewed have written an Opinion Piece covering issues in the gaming industry, how current issues were issues years ago, and what can be done to help restore consumer trust.
Nothing. It's up to the gamers to stop consuming content from companies that they don't agree with.
How do you know if you agree with it or not unless you play it? Which without conventions forces gamers to rely on trailers. Perhaps Demos should be made more frequently. But companies need to do better as well.
But is that not what they have now? Tons of gameplay or are you talking about watching actual gamers play it versus the trailers and streams? The big issue is that some companies pay streamers and influencers and they create content but for me; that is hardly a fair, unbiased, and factual look at a game.
They usually are attached to the money sadly. It would be nice to have gamers in charge but you have so much money invested that business people are needed. Hence the issue; you need people who know business but are also gamers who know have an eye to the community. It sounds simple in theory that if you give gamers quality games that they want to play; money will be made. But that is not always so.
Marie Dealessandri speaks to Borislav Slavov and Gustavo Santaolalla about “the new golden age of games music”.
The list is bullcrap + Chrono Trigger should be in top 5.
They had 62 player MP support back in 98 when most people were still on dial up and it made for some fun online play.
If Goldeneye isn't on the list by the time it gets to the end, this list is irrelevant..
Overhyping "HALO" and Gears isn't the best way to start things out.......the truth is if there wasn't either of those games, there would have been something "SIMILAR" enough and plenty of people all over would have picked up an XBOX....
Games like RAINBOW SIX & GHOST RECON would have still sold the system, especially with 16 player multiplayer match modes.
The real difference is that idea never came to be.....because "HALO" and GEARS were such strong successes. I can look back and say those games more than any, even RAINBOW SIX, define the XBOX platform.
Even if they are over-rated, there is no denying how they changed the industry. And they truly are close to perfection that's really hard to do.....VERY close to perfection...
With the NES and Dragon Warrior it was so much the same.....maybe it wasn't perfect, but it was close to perfection and that's what made the NES what it is today.
Lots of others like GOLDENEYE need to be put there, that's no lie!
Its a good start though....
*fingers crossed* MY BEST DREAM would be to see CHRONO TRIGGER revived on the consoles again, in CHRONO TRIGGER 3......on Xbox360 the perfect platform for it....then other CT games for all formats...
But its only a dream just a beautiful dream at that...........that series deserved more than the rest, a TRUE SEQUEL worthy of a perfect 10...... ><
Well it's just 20 to 16 now, I am quite interested in the other 15 spots!
