they will be both meaning you can still vote for them.  Look at Twilight Princess as an example.  People still vote for it a lot and it is on Gamecube as well as Wii


Okay, but then look at Persona 4 or Wild ARMs 5 as examples, like I listed :P

They're not cross-gen games, but they were 2007 releases well after the PS360ii released.


Persona 4 Golden can be voted in next gen.  And i doubt that Wild Arms 5 is significant enough to make top 25.  The only significant release that i can think of is Gran Turismo 6 and as i said before racing games just dont do well on these lists.  In all previous years they manage about 20 points total each year.

Bolded is exactly my point :P

We can strike off examples from sixth gen lists, but it seems like there's going to be an increasing pool of "seventh gen only" games going forward.

Lightning Returns next year; Dark Souls 2; Castlevania LoS 2; Ninja Gaiden Z; Drakengard 3; etc.  Plenty of stuff that could get next gen ported, but absolutely no confirmation.  And like I said, Japan is going to keep supporting seventh gen for a long, long time.

It's fine making a list now.  I have no problem with that; you're putting the work in.  I'm just saying, for a lot of people the generation is a long way from being over and new games that could top people's lists may well be appearing in the future; and just because they could be added to a different list doesn't mean they shouldn't be on this one.  Burnout Revenge as an example.  Just because it exists as a 360 game, doesn't mean it shouldn't be included in a list of the best sixth gen games (especially if it was making my personal list, since I never owned a 360 but I did own that game on PS2).  

But anyway, I think I've made my point now so I'll leave it at that.

this gen is obviously still going to continue. Never said that.  Just said that there is nothing big enough to really change what is placed. A t most Dark Souls 2 could make top 25.  I really dont see any of the others changing anything.  If there is something big coming I will do another one next year for this generation as I dont even know if we will have enough games to vote for for next gen next year.  Though 3DS, Vita, and WiiU will have been out for a couple years, XBO and PS4 wont have the same privelage.

The Last Of Us is on pretty much every list, and those who don't have it on there list seem to not be Ps3 gamers. Good stuff.
