ICO Collection is being released fairly soon, so I went with that.

I'm sure Last Guardian will be above 90, because Team ICO don't make anything other than incredible games, but it's not going to be out for a LONG time. The same goes for Starhawk, though there is a chance that that could slip under 90.

I think the others will be high 80s at best.

ICO Collection has the closest release date and I'm certain it will get at least a 90 MC rating.

d21lewis said: The Last Guardian. Ico Collection will suffer from being old. Standards have changed in ways we don’t even pick up on unless we go back and play older games. I've been playing old Gamecube/PS2 games (at my kid's request) and they aren't holding up nearly as well as I expected. TLG should be more in line with what we consider the standard to be.

I know what you're saying. Old games that we once thought were incredible can become aged as time goes on. This applies to most games, but I don't think SOTC will follow this rule.

I didn't play the game until last year and I thought it was amazing. It was one of the few games that left me sucked in from start to finish. The gameplay was very simple. I don't think the game is aged because, in terms of gameplay, it wasn't really complex enough to have any elements that would evolve & change with time. The game was basically ride horse, defeat monster, go to headquarters, repeat. It didn't really have any 'elements' that could actually become aged with time.

The game was amazing because of its beautiful, well-constructed world, it's puzzling, giant, enemies, and it's simplicity. I don't think any of those factors have been greatly improved upon.

Besides, a 15 year old game, OOT, managed to please critics (and you!) despite it having an even greater potential to be old. I think SOTC, a simpler & younger game, can do the same.

Notice I didn't say ICO because I haven't played it. But as for SOTC, I don't really think it's aged. I can't think of any games that were similar & superior in the last few years. I suggest you play SOTC (again?) and let me know if it's aged. If you think it is, then I guess we'll have to agree to disagree. May I ask what old PS2/Gamecube games you were playing? Also, are there any games similar to SOTC that could have made it appear aged?

Out of all the games they have announced I can't see any of their games making it 90+ on meta

The only one I can see is the ICO collection...many of the other games will most likely just miss the 90 mark.

The ICO Collection and then The Last Guardian.

All the games they have announced? or just the games on my list? I hope it's not the former because Uncharted 3 has a good (almost certain) shot at reaching a 90 meta.

Another person that sees potential in Starhawk. I can see the game surprising everyone and possibly being a go-to-multiplayer-game for the PS3. The awards it won at E3 helps cement my theories for the game. I won't get too hyped for it though. It seems like everytime I get high hopes for a game, I'm left utterly dissapointed when the game releases.

What kind of question is that? Why do you think they will?

I don't usually bet, but I think I'm right for this.

let's make a bet: Uncharted 3's metacritic score will be 90 or higher.
