10 Games that Shaped the Modern Console Scene (with Videos)

GameDynamo - "As surely as spring follows winter, the rumblings of a new generation of video game consoles are once more upon us. To make sense of the future, however, we must first understand the past. Let us therefore take a break from trying to make sense of the Wii U and look back at the games of earlier console generations that shaped the scene we know and love today."

Agreed with most of those games until I saw what was at no.1 ugh. Its just a commercial rip of of Konami's Guitar Freaks which was a far better game.

Outside of that how can you not include CoD4. Personally i'm not a fan of CoD games but most will agree that CoD4 raised a hurdle that no other FPS could jump. Not even now years after its release.

Well, 4-Infinite dropped the ball massively so don't worry.

Not really. 4, 5, MCC, and Infinite are only remembered for their shortcomings and failures when the franchise was purely known for being a system seller and an all-time great. There's a reason 1, 2, 3, and Reach are looked back on fondly, and it's not because of nostalgia.

I don't know of anyone that speaks fondly of the later Halo games, I would like to play 5, but I know it's not good, and I'm just waiting on Infinite to hit my strike price. I played MCC a lot later after it came out, so must of those bugs/issues were gone by the time I played it.

To say it dropped the massively is just not true. Many in the community hold H5 as the best mp mechanics in the entire series and say its what 4 should've been. Its campaign was trash but the MP is Fantastic and many faces of the community still play today and it only made 500mill in the matter of months but sure it dropped the ball massively. 4 was hated due to all the changes at once. And CoD like feature and rightful get hate but it's campaign story was liked by a majority of ppl. 343 hasn't nailed ot 100% but they get 1 thing perfect but F up in other places. Infinite had a good campaign and design but the story was a mess. The MP improves upon what Halo 3 was and is what many ppl wanted to go back to but it lacked content severely. So massively aint the word. Dropping the ball massively is when it's pure trash and unplay/unenjoyable. Most ppl blind by nostalgia so soon as 1 thing aint the same its hated cause Halo set the bar so high
FYI reach was not that good.

Dead IP, time to invent something new.

Maybe they can have ID or one of the COD studios help 343 with this series.

Halo-Pop like Gears Pop. Halo bowling. Halo Cooking Mama. There’s a reason why you won’t hear about them
