Tend to prefer the TPS. I just like to see my characters while I'm playing.

ShaunCameron4394d ago

Good call on Max Payne. It seems that some people forgot the bullet-time mechanics that it brought to the table. Too bad some of the games influenced by it weren't much to write home about (Stranglehold and Wet).

Spydiggity4394d ago (Edited 4394d ago )

there is nothing more fun and exciting than being in the zone in Gears multiplayer.

although, SMNC is quickly growing on me.

specialguest4394d ago (Edited 4394d ago )

Why can't games be both FPS and TPS? This is what I don't get. A press of a button to change the perspective with the aiming switched to suit the different modes.

Laxman4394d ago

I dont think it work too well for Shooting games. Its decent in the likes of Skyrim, but games that involve a lot of shooting would be too hard to get both FPS and TPS controls/design both done well. Either one would be good and the other would be awful, or they'd both be lacking in some fundamental design qualities.

humbleopinion4394d ago

It's hard to nail both in a shooter, but Halo does that switch amazingly for vehicle/turret control. Past ghost recon titles also offered similar 3rd/1st person switch when in cover aiming.

I just started playing Spec op. I've had it for years on steam and forgot about it. Such a good game.

EvertonFC79d ago (Edited 79d ago )

Fantastic game,.so underated

Cacabunga79d ago

Yes great game spec ops! Since the time we’ve been asking sony to make one:/

Auto Modelista.. a PS2 capcom racer!! A blast to play and great graphics!
Maximo!
Rival Schools!

LordoftheCritics78d ago

Spec Ops: The Line was super dark.

Incredible story.

SheenuTheLegend78d ago

all the games in the above list are bang on. this is the only reason we need backwards compatibility and physical presense of games for the upcoming future, no matter what.

Yi-Long79d ago

Honorable mention to the excellent Driveclub, one of the best racing games of all-time and one of my favourite games ever.

melons79d ago

yes! incredible rain effects; so good to drive along in rain with your Spotify playlist blaring

Skuletor78d ago

I really wanted a MotorStorm using the same engine, Driveclub is easily one of the best looking games on PS4 and I'm surprised they didn't even give it a PS4 Pro patch.

ravens5278d ago

Yes indeed. May just install it on my PS5. You know, physical copy and all.

monkey60278d ago

I adored Driveclub and the Bike expansion. I also loved Motorstorm. Evolution shutting down was a crime

Outrun Online Arcade, Sega Rally Online Arcade, After Burner Climax... all good stuff. I keep my 360 hooked up to play these as well as the TMNT games that were also delisted.

Skuletor78d ago

I have quite a few of these. Timed licenses suck.

Terry_B78d ago (Edited 78d ago )

wow...I have all of them except the Nintendo ones either in physical or digital version.

Also..Deadpool the Game is missing on that list.

It's really a shame that the Spec Ops reboot didn't continue into a series. Obviously the story in The Line is over. But each game could have delved into the different psychological effects of war as well as exploring different takes on Heart of Darkness. In a sea of mindless military shooters it was nice to finally play a shooter that actually had something to say.

EazyC98d ago

This game was the last of a dying breed, a signifier of where shooter games (and videogames more broadly) COULD have gone if developers didn't pivot so hard into the online services, micro transaction, season pass, yada yada.

New narrative territory exploring the actual art form of gaming and storytelling within it.

Yui_Suzumiya98d ago

A brilliant depiction into what war can really do to a person and doesn't glorify it in any way.

Psychonaut8598d ago

I heard this game might be getting delisted, which is a travesty, this is one that should be preserved forever

Puty97d ago

I think the title was unfortunate - it was when Moder Warfare got big so I assumed it was yet another clone. Fortunately, because ps plus I checked out this gem of a game.
