In terms of motion controls/sales : Wii Sports

How am I the only one to say Call of Duty

da fuck

Since Call of Duty came out on PS2 I think that’s why it isn’t being mentioned. But it did rejuvenate the multiplayer scene with MW2!

 

[fart town usa]

Skate.

Man, Black Box being disbanded and EA sitting on that franchise just breaks my heart.

EA blows.

 

[BusierDonkey]

Xenoblade Chronicles
Forza Horizon
Dishonored / Deathloop

 

[oji-san]

An amazing gen truly. I can't choose there's ton of new IPs i loved.

 

[SSfox]

There were so many great new IPs, but if i chose one gotta with Souls franchise by FS.

 

[The Alien]

Bioshock
Batman Arkham
Gears of War
TLOU

 

[begotten]

BioShock then daylight then whatever IP is your most nostalgic favourite.

 

[Humdinger]

Brute Force.

 

[Eddie-Griffin]

Mind Jack, Rouge Warrior,

 

[DEAD ORIGINAL]

Uncharted?

It's this or Gears of war

 

[DeepEnigma]

Souls created an entire genre.

 

[SafeOrAlone]

This easily goes to Gears of War, which introduced a cover system and style that many other games follow, to this day. None of the other games you guys mentioned was as influential as Gears of War.

This was the first game that comes to my mind when I think of the 360 era, but I think it's been diminished over time, because the series doesn't seem as relevant anymore and cover-mechanics aren't as big of a trend as they were after Gears released.

Demon's Souls was sort of the tortoise who won the race, in a sense. It's influence is still being felt today.

 

[semiconscious]

Yeah it was crazy good. I doubt we will see another generation like that again. Nowadays with spiralling costs publishers leaning on safe ROI, from safe sequels and focus on cinematic experiences; we only get maybe a couple IP's or a few (if we're lucky) from devs in one generation.

Hopefully this gen picks up a bit now we're nearly past the cross gen period. And devs and publishers are willing to push the boundries with new, fresh experiences.

the other thing, of course, is that if, indeed, a number of new & imaginative ips do begin to appear over the next while, & what with the new extended development times we currently have, it's as likely as not that we won't be seeing any sequels to these ips till possibly the following generation...

meaning, unlike the ps3/360 era (bioshock, uncharted, gears of war, mass effect), no trilogies...

 

[AJUMP23]

Mass Effect.

 

[DaGwaphics]

RDR
Bully (technically on PS2, but 2006 so I'm counting it)
Gears Of War
BioShock
MassEffect
Dead Rising

 

[Interfectum]

Souls

 

[WoJ]

Mass Effect, Uncharted or the Arkham games. Such a great generation.

 

[tommib]

Demon’s Souls.

 

[abacab driver]

Gears of War, Bioshock, Mass Effect, Red Dead, The Last of Us.

That's the top 5.

Edit: Portal also.

 

[Esppiral]

Brute Force.

Brute force is an original Xbox game.

 

[Robb]

Portal, Uncharted, No More Heroes, Bayonetta, Ghost Trick, Rhythm Heaven, Bioshock etc. etc.

Difficult to pick just one. Loads of good stuff!

 

[anothertech]

Heavenly Sword
Vanquish

Runners up:
Gears of War
Uncharted
Last of Us

Come at me bitches

 

[Humdinger]

Uncharted, Last of Us, Mass Effect, RDR.

 

[WhiteWaterM00se]

1A.) Uncharted
1B.). Mass Effect
1C.) Borderlands

2.) Gears of war
3.) Forza horizon
4.) if you consider it. Red Dead.
5.) Full house poker
6.) Rock band
7.) Bayonetta



But the true answer was Wii Sports. Followed by Guitar hero.

 

[sainraja]

• Uncharted
• Little Big Planet
• The Last of Us
• InFamous
• MotorStorm

^^ These immediately come to mind.

 

[sainraja]

You do know Gears cover system is heavily influenced by Kill.Switch? Gears was referred to as Resident Killswitch by CliffyB himself.

Tenchu also had a cover system.
But yeah, Gears was influenced by Kill Switch and RE4.

 

[sainraja]

How am I the only one to say Call of Duty

da fuck

Because...

"Call of Duty is a first-person shooter video game franchise published by Activision. Starting out in 2003..."

 

[El Muerto]

Mirrors Edge
Bayonetta
Sleeping Dogs
Gears of War
Bioshock
Alan Wake
Dead Space
Darksiders

 

[M1chl]

All of them, fuck I want that game era back.

I am currently playing Dead Space 2 after Callisto and it...sorry they knew how to do games before, now, outside of few devs, it's mostly garbage.

And no it's not my emotional state, I can directly replay those games and it's good you know.

And now they have way more tools to play around with and stuff like that.

 

[Moses85]

Uncharted and TLOU

 

[DavJay]

Skyrim. Seriously they should be done with elder scrolls and call the next one Skyrim 2 and so on. Many don’t even know Skyrim is part of a bigger franchise call The Elder Scrolls.

 

[ZehDon]

For me it's gotta be Gears of War, Mass Effect, and Dark Souls. They're terrific IP that really added something new and interesting to the landscape of gaming.

 

[Naked Lunch]

Lost Planet. Too bad Capcom gave up on it by the 3rd entry by outsourcing - and they already abandoned it.

Deadly Premonition. The first game will forever be a legend.

Chromehounds
and
Metal Gear Rising. One and done?
