Leonidus said: They'l both be remembered. MGS4 will be remembered as one of the best games ever created, Halo 3 wont be as remembered as much - but the Halo series will. I think MGS4 lived up to its series and hype better than Halo 3 did. |
How would you judge that?
Both games have serious detractors, people know all about the MGS4 = movie comments for example.
Halo 3 has its place in the history books as the fastest or one of the fastest selling games of all times.
Halo 3 sold more, therefore more people would play/remember the game.
I also don't see many studios rushing out to try and copy MGS4 for whatever reason, but Halo 1/2/3 influence other FPS games even today, you don't ignore the 10M seller in the genre do you?
For those reasons it has to go Halo 3 for most influential.
Greatest? Well it depends, what do you call great? Critical darling 10 years from now? Industry impact? It depends on your perpective.
Tease.
