| Incubi said: Super Mario Galaxy director, Koizumi, is not heavily involved with Super Mario 3D World. SMG2 director, Hayashida, is directing 3D World. I have great faith that it will have the highest metacritic score since it's a new game from the acclaimed director. Wind Waker HD will be penalized for being a remake, so it will not have the same metacritic score as the original even if its better(which it most likely is). There where mixed feeling about the original donkey Kong Country Returns, and the same will hold true for its sequel. No doubt it will still be a great game, but it wont touch SM3DW on metacritic. Sonic Lost World will no doubt be a great game. But Sega never manages perfection. There's always something holding their games back from being truly stellar, from a historical perspective. So, with my amazingly good educated guess, i'll say this about how they'll fair on metacritic: 1. Super Mario 3D World. It will be GOTY contender alongside The Last of Us. 2. Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze. It will be by far the best 2D platformer this year. 3. LoZ: Wind Waker HD. The fact it is a remake means it will not score as high as the original. Even if its better. 4. Sonic Lost World. This will be a great game, but it will have faults preventing it from being 10/10 material. Thats my prediction. |
So glad to see someone else excited about Mario 3D World :)
@OP:
Wind Waker HD -- 93 --- A beloved masterpiece that will probably lose a few points for being an enhanced remake.
Super Mario 3D World -- 92 -- Like Incubi, I think this game will be great. An evolution of the 3DS game, which was a critical darling.
Tropical Freeze -- 88 -- The mechanics, art direction, and sound will wow critics.
Sonic Lost World -- 78 -- Looks interesting but not quite as polished as the other three.
