Hm... this Is a really hard question.
There was sooooo many great games this gen!
I honestly think it impossible for anyone to answer this
question!

brazilianbumpincher5044d ago (Edited 5044d ago )

the mods on n4g are very bias and have turned this site into their own fanboy fest pool,why have the legitimate news of KOKATU'S DISGRACEFUL UNDERHAND SABOTAGE been removed from front page of n4g? most articles from othersites as disgusted as the gamers discussing this topic been removed? theres only one i can see

by the way uc2 or lbp or gears 1

edit:pen pooh there you go mate,there was also another article but its been removed,and there was nothing wrong with it,it just showed gamers facts about kotaku

http://n4g.com/news/580917/...

Pen Pooh5044d ago

Do you have a link to the Kataku article?

mikeslemonade5043d ago

I played all of those nominees and Uncharted 2 gets about a full point rating above all those games. Uncharted 2 is the only game this generation so far that deserves a 10. I make a point to not give a 10, but for once the game deserves atleast a score between 9.5-10.

TEFL0N_D0N_815043d ago

This is so stupid. That's it for choices?

What about:

Mass Effect
Batman Arkham Asylum
Bioshock
Gears of War
MSG 4
GOW III
and a shit load more?

They can't be included? Worst poll I've seen. Also biased against the 360 (not one 360 exclusive there).

Darkstorn5043d ago

Metal Gear Solid 4 is my top game of this gen, followed closely by Bioshock and Uncharted 2.

JoySticksFTW5042d ago

MGS4 is one of the greatest gaming experiences I've EVER had

And Uncharted 1 & 2 are amazing

But Demon's Souls is the game that just continues to find it's way back into my PS3. I simply cannot shake the addiction

There are near infinite character builds to explore. And you can build your character to excel at PvE, PvP, both, or just make fun builds... like invading someone's game dual-wielding pick-axes or Meat Cleavers :)

Can't wait for DS2 / DLC. Great foundation was laid with the first game; I'd love to see how the devs improve on it.

Oblivion and Mass Effect deserve mention as well.

It fails because this generation isn't even half way through. How can one claim what the best game is, if games are still to be made, for this generation?

fuuuuuuuu

Typical article on n4lamers.

FishCake9T45043d ago

I just thik it means so far this generation either way my 4 are.
Call Of Duty 4
Metal Gear Solid 4
Uncharted 2
Fallout 3

Christopher5043d ago

Is The Witcher this generation? If so, that game. Otherwise... it's a tie between about 6 or so games for various reasons.

Galaxia5043d ago

1. God of War 3.
2. Dead Space 1.
3. Mass Effect 1.

And the Mass Effect series as a whole would be the best new series of the entire gen for me as well.

tokugawa5043d ago

is just that, and in no way translates into the best for everyone!

for me..

multiplayer.
bad company 2 by a land-slide

single player
now this is difficult, coz mass effect 1 and 2, uncharted2, assassins creed2, gears1 and dragon age have been superb games..

but another thing to remember is....this gen aint finished yet

gamerzBEreal175043d ago

I know i will get some dissagrees but the real contenders are
Uncharted2
Metal gear solid4
Gears of war
call of duty4
Mass effect series
(it got a 96 come on guys its a good series/game) best games this gen GOW3 and others are great but my top 5 are these

Two PS3 and Wii exclusives. Zero Xbox 360. Interesting...

Darrius Cole5044d ago (Edited 5044d ago )

All wrong. The best game this generation is Metal Gear Solid 4.

2nd is Uncharted 2

God_Of_Epicness5043d ago (Edited 5043d ago )

I AGREE! MGS4 and Uncharted 2 were the best and without MGS4 in the list, well, let me put it this way. It's a not so....not very....BAD list! Yeap, you got that right! It becomes a bad list!

BTW, where is Mass Effect 2?

Give credit when credit is due people. GTAIV? I mean really??????????? Okay. FINE

JonnyBigBoss5043d ago

Agreed. Both are legendary in my book but MGS4 consumed me for months.

big_silky5044d ago

The Mass Effect series, including part 3 which will no doubt be mind blowing.

Personally I think the list given reads like a laundry list of the most overrated titles this gen.

A change in the wind5044d ago

Either MGS4 or Uncharted 2. They both completely eclipse anything else in consideration by a mile. Next up: The Last Guardian.

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

Snookies1218d ago (Edited 18d 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.

XiNatsuDragnel19d ago (Edited 19d ago )

It'll be great if true

LucasRuinedChildhood18d ago (Edited 18d ago )

Hopefully 60fps on consoles for RDR2 is next then.

LucasRuinedChildhood18d ago (Edited 18d 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.

purple10118d ago (Edited 18d 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!

DaReapa18d 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.

Microsoft once tried to nab LittleBigPlanet from Sony after a few drinks

It turns out that many moons ago, Microsoft once had its eye on the Sony published LittleBigPlanet series.

Microsoft had a good idea but fumbled it again.

Cacabunga22d ago (Edited 22d ago )

Project Spark idea was decent but they quickly gave up ..
LBP was wonderful

ApocalypseShadow23d ago

Microsoft in a nutshell. Always tried to poach Sony employees, games, 3rd party games and devices like the depth camera that was turned into Kinect but was running on PS2 before Xbox 360. Wouldn't be surprised they wanted LBP. Just like they worked behind the scenes pushing the MLB to bring Sony's baseball game to Xbox instead of making their own.
https://www.playstationlife...

They didn't spend years trying to develop their own baseball game. They wanted Sony's game.

They're scum.

Zachmo18222d ago

Microsoft didn't force MLB on Xbox. MLB gave Sony 2 options either go multiplat or risk losing the license.

Rynxie21d ago

And why do you think MLB said that? I believe Ms approached MLB.

ApocalypseShadow21d ago (Edited 21d ago )

Totally ridiculous comment.

The only exclusivity Sony had was to their own creation of The Show. Microsoft could have paid the MLB for the license just like Sony did and made their own baseball game.

Microsoft instead, groomed MLB for years in trying to poach Sony's game and bring it to Xbox. They're worth 3 TRILLION dollars. You think that's not enough money to make their own baseball game? Don't be delusional.

Microsoft spun it like they always do and told the media that they had to trust Sony with their hardware. After they put Sony in that position of not having a choice. Either go multiplatform or stop making one of their successful games. That's a no win scenario.

And what did Microsoft do? They didn't try to sell the game to the Xbox community. They put it on game pass to hurt Sony. Pushing the idea of why buy games that are $70 when you can play them in their cheap service for $10. It was a dirty tactic.

You fell for the Kool aid drink Microsoft served you instead of spitting it out. Hope it tasted good because you were fooled by Phil and the gang.

Xbox executive Sara Bond has told Axios that Microsoft spent a number of years trying to get MLB The Show onto Xbox consoles. And when it finally succeeded in breaking off PlayStation’s long-held exclusivity, the company had to “trust” Sony with pre-release Xbox Series X/S consoles.

Bond revealed that MLB The Show “always came up” in conversations between Microsoft and the Major League Baseball organization. “We always said, ‘We love this game. It would be a huge opportunity to bring it to Xbox.'” she recalled. However, when Microsoft’s efforts materialized, it put the company in an awkward situation where it had to send in pre-release consoles to a rival company.

ApocalypseShadow20d ago

Lying to yourself is unbecoming.

Article link tells you all you need to know in Sarah Bond's own words.

Hereandthere21d ago

They were too cheap/inept/lazy to develop their own mlb game, so they port begged for years and bribed the mlb to make the show multiplatform. Like i said many times, xbox brought nothing to the table their 24 years, ZERO.

ApocalypseShadow20d ago

At least you and others get it. Note drank the Kool aid and asked for seconds thinking it was refreshing.

Most don't even know how it all played out but it's there in black and white for all to see. Microsoft brought it up for years until the MLB forced Sony's hand. It was a win win for Microsoft. Kill one reason to buy a PlayStation or kill the game by dropping it in a cheap service to kill Sony's sales numbers on PlayStation.

OtterX22d ago

"However, Healey said Media Molecule wouldn't have felt right doing that, adding it would have been "morally corrupt"."

Major kudos to Media Molecule for being an upright studio with principles.

Cockney20d ago

They chose well, Sony gave them the backing to pursue their dreams with no restrictions even tho their games especially dreams have very niche appeal. Media molecule and Sony deserve respect for this in an age of risk averse publishing.

RNTody22d ago (Edited 22d ago )

Great, more stories like this please. Show the last of the zombies holding the line what we've been saying for years: Microsoft is anti competition, anti industry and has no interest in making games at all.

But hey, at least there's an Xbox Games Showcase to look forward to, right?

Inverno22d ago

Well considering SONY just killed the series, LBP would've been dead by now either way. Though MM probably wouldn't exist by now either, so I'm glad they stayed with SONY, hopefully they don't get shut down any time soon or ever honestly.

Inverno22d ago

They shut down the servers, that's millions of user created levels gone. That and dead are pretty much the same, it's also been years since 3 and they cancelled HUB soooo.

21d ago
fsfsxii21d ago

They shutdown the servers because no one was playing, no one in the community cared about the user created levels so why keep them up? Wtf you guys would never succeed in running a business.

Inverno21d ago

Yea dood no one was playing so they shut off the servers. Cause people with enough common sense can't just Google why they were actually shut of, right?
