When a film or game is released, you know if it's considered a classic or not. It seems that this year is chock full of that type of material.
When I say classic, I mean something that is going to have a long-term impact on people for a LONG time..years..maybe decades....for example: GTA 4, Super Mario 64, Super Smash Bros Melee, LOZ: Ocarina of time, etc. etc.
Films:
-Man of Steel - Brand new Superman movie? C'mon..that's awesome.
-Oz the Great and Powerful - We all know it's the first film of a trilogy....I predict that the third film will be a remake of The Wizard of Oz.
Games:
-The Last of Us - C'mon. It's a classic. Cannot deny this.
-GTA 5 - A game that is going to entertain many people for many years. I know it'll eventually get released on every system possible...with GTA Online being a cross-platform experience. Probably won't go that far...but I wish. Nonetheless, GTA 5 is going to be big for a while.
-Wind Waker HD - Some are complaining about it just being a remake, but it's the definitive version...it brings the old gameplay to a new level...looks and just feels better. Such a classic game...and it's so much better now.
-Super Mario 3D World - I know it isn't released yet, but c'mon. Super Mario 3D Land for the 3DS is a classic. Some might disagree with that because they think it follows the same path as the Galaxy series. These are experimental games...they are trying to implement so many addictive gameplay aspects in the game. And even though there is no gravity or planet/galaxy stuff...the gameplay elements aren't too much different. Definitely not the same, but not entirely different. When Nintendo announced Super Mario Galaxy 2, people thought it was going to be awful. I remember. Then after it releases, it goes on to be one of the best games of all time. I believe Super Mario 3D World will receive a 96/100 on metacritic..going on to become one of the best Mario games of all time...right under Galaxy and Galaxy 2. It'll go on to become a classic...families will have an extreme amount of fun playing multplayer. It's a matter of time before Super Mario Online World is announced(I wish).
-Rayman Legends - Obviously a classic. The gameplay is addictive...it's entertaining and doesn't get old..the artstyle is beautiful. 10/10.
What other classics do you think were released this year?
