Magog881d ago (Edited 881d ago )

Bad choices. It's IGN though so I don't know what I expected.

You expected for everyone to like what you like which is ridiculous and a little entitled.

LucasRuinedChildhood881d ago (Edited 881d ago )

I don't have a huge problem with most of the picks, it's moreso the ordering that seems a bit strange.

XbladeTeddy881d ago

Yeah Ocarina of Time not even in the top 30 and Breath of the Wild number 1, I mean come on. But an opinion is an opinion. At least they included Thief 2, loved that game so much despite its flaws.

Terry_B881d ago

Super Meat Boy, Actraiser and Fatal Fury 3 should be in the top 20

Yi-Long881d ago

Super Meat Boy for sure. Not sure about the other two.

frostypants880d ago

Actraiser blew minds. Really was like two games combined.

Rebel_Scum880d ago

Fatal Fury 3 over 2? I’ve never played 3. How is it better than 2?

Terry_B880d ago (Edited 880d ago )

More characters, the awesome Ryuji Yamazaki and the lovely Blue Mary, and the new three-plane format for the stages made it my favourite stay in South Town!

OKAAAAAAY!

"Games in our top 100 have to measure up to a few key metrics: how great a game it was when it launched, how fun it is to still play today, and how much the game reflects the best in its class. While past versions of this list have put a big emphasis on a game’s impact and influence, we’ve essentially taken that out of the equation"

"best in class"

How are MULTIPLE Mario and Zelda games on the SAME list "best in class"?

1. How many "classes" does Mario fit in?
2. If you're the "best" of that class. How are their multiple mario games? Shouldn't their be just one?
Because..."While past versions of this list have put a big emphasis on a game’s impact and influence, we’ve essentially taken that out of the equation"

Influence and impact have been taken out of the equation. Sooooo 🤔

deleted881d ago (Edited 881d ago )

Most everyone who has played Astrobot Rescue Mission on PSVR will be quick to say it stands among the best Mario games, in how it revolutionized platformers in that VR space. It's incredibly clever how it uses the 3D space around you cor puzzles and platforming, that
flat screen Mario game just can't do. (I'm not even talking about Astro's Playroom on PS5) It simply is a best of class platformer.

The lack of Astrobot Rescue Mission shows either a strong bias towards Mario games or a complete disregard of VR gaming.

IGN clearly said that the cultural 'impact' is excluded, so the lower install base of PSVR shouldn't matter.

CS7881d ago

Astrobot Rescue mission is a great game. In the top 100 games of all time? I’m not so sure bud.

PhillyDillyDee881d ago

Except Half Life Alyx is on there soo…

deleted881d ago (Edited 881d ago )

@CS7 If Thief II, Control, Rise of the Tomb Raider and others like that can make IGN's list, then sure why not Astrobot VR? I'd consider it one of the best platformers ever made, yes, in what it accomplishes in a way that no other platformer has done before.

It's not even in my top 50, many are SNES games and PS1 rpgs for me.... but I'm sure I could find a place for Astrobot VR between 50-100.

@PhillyDillyDee Thanks for that catch, I missed Half Life Alyx on the list, as I scrolled half of them pretty fast. ;)

iplay1up2881d ago

Astro Bot, is fantastic, an absolute blast. The reason I feel it doesn't make the list, is because it borrows heavily from other platformers. Of coarse in a VR space. Still super fun!

Well at least it's better than the Asahi TV viewers list....not saying much though.

shinoff218317d ago

They gotta do better on the premium side for sure. Where are any of those jrpgs from the ps1 Era. Come on Sony.

jznrpg17d ago

Most of the Sony JRPGS have been released. Square has a ton that could be ported over but they would need Squares involvement.

VenomUK17d ago

Crime Boss! I know it hasn't reviewed well but I love the eighties action movie vibe of the trailer but didn't want to risk any money on it so this is a great way for me to play it.

Exvalos16d ago

I don't know why Sony is not getting some of the legendary ps1 games from square like parasite eve, xenogears, brave fencer musashi

outsider162417d ago

Looking at this list, i gotta ask what is even the point of premium?

raWfodog17d ago

I'm good with just my PS+ Essential

GamerRN17d ago

I have premium, and I'm also wondering why I have it

Xeofate17d ago (Edited 17d ago )

I think there are a ton of good games on Premium, and don't sleep on the movie collection if you like 90's and 2000's movies, the selection is stacked with classics and gets updated pretty regularly.

Abnor_Mal17d ago

G-Police is a game I have fond memories of and will definitely download to replay. I remember controlling your helicopter was a bit difficult and would make my hand cramp having to press all the shoulder buttons to go up and down and I think yaw left and right.

The next game they should add to Classics is Colony Wars, and I wouldn’t mind replaying Nightmare Creatures. I’d also like to replay Black, PSI Ope: The Mindgate Conspiracy.

Redgrave17d ago

Nightmare Creatures, Deathtrap Dungeon, Urban Chaos

TheColbertinator16d ago

Colony Wars, G-Police, Black and PsiOps were all amazing games. Such creative games from a golden age.

DefenderOfDoom216d ago

I would love to play Black again on a higher difficult setting . Black was so fun to play!

MrBaskerville17d ago

G-Police is nice. But might be among the hardest games I've ever played.

Bathyj17d ago

G Police.
I almost want to upgrade for that.

But let's face it, there's no way the game has held up.

MrBaskerville16d ago (Edited 16d ago )

You can just buy it, you don't need premium.

And it's still good, but there's a couple of early missions that are extremely tough. But they don't really make games like this anymore.

DarXyde16d ago

2Xtreme was the first game I ever bought for PS Plus (I still have the PS1 version somewhere).

Game is awful, but it's stupid fun. Like Thrasher: Skate and Destroy.

Man.... Premium has been a massive letdown but this is the only month they don't have a single thing for me. Oh well. I've gotten my money's worth so far and still need to finish up Rebirth and Rise of the Ronin then I'll hop back in to Relink and Helldivers after that.

hiroyukisanada16d ago

I should clarify that I was referring to the Classics catalog, in particular. Only 1 PS1 game I've loved is the Legend of Dragoon and the Tekken/Soul Caliburs on PSP

Petebloodyonion17d ago

RDR2 is a win for Sony and Crime boss is a good fit to help promote a struggling game
but we're far from what was removed this month (including Horizon Zero Dawn)
https://www.pushsquare.com/...

crazyCoconuts17d ago

Yeah I was hoping burning shores would have been added now that it's a year old vs. the base game being removed.
I wouldn't be surprised if both MS and PS continue to either walk back the quality of games in the sub services or increase the price, since it's now clearer to them how cannibalistic these services are

isarai17d ago

The game deserves to struggle, it's garbage

Petebloodyonion16d ago

Indeed it's bad but it does offer incredible Hollywood star power so for free it might draw a crowd while giving a boost to this game.
Just remember Fallout 76 was the biggest turd and yet there are now tons of ppl playing it.

shinoff218316d ago

When I seen video on this game I thought Holy sht this is gonna be awesome. Then the footage continued and I seen what type of game it was going for. Was so disappointed. Would've loved a gta style game not from Rockstar,like we had back in the day some studios trying. I'm all about being different but a little gta clone idea been cool with.

Yui_Suzumiya16d ago (Edited 16d ago )

To be fair, I'd play Crime Boss before GTA any day. I mean I have no interest in either but just for the celebs I'd pick Crime Boss, lol

JL293017d ago

How is a 6 year old game a win for anything? Anyone who cares has already played it.

Petebloodyonion16d ago

Simply because ppl do play it!
As much as I don't like it GTA V always managed a boost of ppl when it was offered on Game Pass or PS+.
NOW RDR 2 was never offered on a subscription service.
Again the point isn't about will hardcore gamers play the game because we already played it. it's about having a huge star power game never offered on service that will make casual ppl subscribe to it.

MrBaskerville16d ago

You are aware that new people are born every day? All the 5 year olds probably didn't play it when it released.

But I guess you played every game ever released, which is quite impressive.

JL293016d ago Show
seanpitt2316d ago

A 6 years old game is a win? Yes it's a masterpiece but I am sure most of hardcore gamers have already played it! I doubt it would be shifting ps plus extra subs if there was a native ps5 version or 60fps option then maybe

6 Games That Genuinely Deserve A Current-Gen Upgrade

Games such as Mad Max, Red Dead Redemption 2, and Batman: Arkham Knight desperately deserve a modern-day revisit.

thorstein45d ago

Mad Max is underrated. Such a fun game.

Cacabunga44d ago (Edited 44d ago )

RDR2 still looks astounding on PS4 Pro. i cannot imagine how it could look with a next gen upgrade.

JonTheGod44d ago (Edited 44d ago )

Probably not very different.

No idea why this article is highlighting recent beautiful graphically-advanced games and saying they need current gen makeovers. They already look better than most new releases; just compare Arkham Knight and Suicide Squad!

exputers44d ago

I see what you did there.

Yi-Long44d ago

It's obviously never gonna happen since Sony killed the game and studio, but Driveclub. Even in its current state, 10 years after release, it still puts many competitors to shame ...

Demetrius43d ago

I'm not into racing games but yeah I even looked at gameplay of that sometimes

redrum0616d ago

It's a shame they cancelled the game. Definitely the best racing game I've ever played on Playstation. Just got GT7, but it feels so slow and less arcade-y, which is to be expected of a sim racer of course, that I just enjoy it less.
Driveclub also graphically looked insanely good for its time. I wonder what a Driveclub 2 would look like for the PS5.

Demetrius43d ago

Mad max ikr! Far cry primal, it amuses me how ubisoft just left ac unity hanging, sadly most of the good staff left from rocksteady while being forced to make that abomination smh
