Define "remembered"...

Games that people still talk about or play.

Also consider I'm not talking about games that are considered good or influential today.


So, again, define "pepole", truly hardcore gamers? The mainstream media? Somewhere in between?

Games who are influential will most probably be "remembered" among game fans, like SMB, LoZ from the NES days, and MGS, FF7, OoT, HL from the 32 bit gen.

But really, how many influential games are out there today? Wii Fit? No, it just sold a lot, and if the "genre" won't evlove in the next 20 years it will be forgotten.
Same for Wii Sports, unless motion sports really catches on for the next 20 years, the fact that it sold a lot doesn't mean it will be remembered.

Halo will probably be remembered for making online gaming really popular on consoles, and making console FPSs what they are today.
Maybe CoD will be remembered.

If by remembered you talk about games like Chrono Trigger, as in, games who didn't have a bit of influence but just really resonated with pepole...

I can see MGS4 having that one, maybe Uncharted 2 (and probably 3, especially if it outsells and is better than UC2), ME2, SMG (probably 2) and... dunno.

You're annoying. And also pretty evil for making such a bet with Dr.A.Peter.Nintendo.



Above: still the best game of the year.

Specific games? Probably not. Just major franchises.

What's annoying? Saying "games that will be remembered" mean nothing, since you need to need to define the context in which they will be remembered, and I also gave a pretty detailed answer (at least I think it's detailed)

And yeah, i'm pretty evil, dark side all the way *random gif that Darth would use*

Although that guy offered that bet in the first place, how could I say no?



Bet with Dr.A.Peter.Nintendo that Super Mario Galaxy 2 won't sell 15 million copies up to six months after it's release, the winner will get Avatar control for a week and signature control for a month.

You're annoying for making long posts I don't wanna read. And you're still evil for accepting such bet.

Wii Sports and nothing else. Only ridiculously old-fashioned losers will remember stuff like CoD, Halo, GT, Wii Fit, etc. Wii Sports, on the other hand, will be the Super Mario Bros of tomorrow. The gamers of tomorrow will look back at it fondly whilst complaining that Nintendo have strayed from their ways and are neglecting their true audience.

I think...God of war, halo and call of duty (even if i do despise it) and monster hunter in japan XD also i think the ps3, wii and 360 will go down in history because of how close this gen has been. By that i meen PS3 are battling constantly, with no big idicater of who is going to win. Thw Wii is selling the most but the ps3 and 360 are making bigger impacts in terms of memorable games (not talking about motion controles people). By that i meen nintendo are just making more of the same charecters they always have where as sony and microsoft are creating new and exiting things constantly. New story. New characters basically lots of new.

Any nintendo fan out there dont flame me for saying it, just that weather u like ps3 for example or not you wil def know what LittleBigPlanet where as with game such as super mario bros though the hardcore will recognise that in 20 years most people will rememebr it as another great mario game. Not saying mario is bad, just that among more casual gamers its refers to simply as mario, not its specific name.



Yeah i know my spelling sucks but im dysgraphic so live with it :3
