I wouldn't say any of those games jumped out at me as being "Revolutionary" but I guess i'll have to pick Halo.

Demon Souls would be a very close second.

Interesting question. I'd say the three most revolutionary games of the 21st century are Halo: Combat Evolved, Grand Theft Auto III, and Wii Sports.

Since GTA is multi-platform, it's down to Halo and Wii Sports. Although Wii Sports turned the industry on its head in 2006, and stands today as the most "killer" of "killer apps" in the history of video games, it's influence has petered out over the last few years. The Wii U failed to capitilize on the revolution that was Wii, and Wii Sports, once a marquee title, has lost its luster. Motion gaming in general, unfortunately, has been more or less abandoned outside of Nintendo.

Then there's Halo, which, along with its sequels, revolutionized console shooters and console online multuiplayer, and influenced two generations of first-person shooters. Its control scheme, weapon inventory system, and focus on militarism has become the standard for shooters. Furthermore, the series is still going strong and, more importantly, its legacy is still going strong.

So I give the edge to Halo.

I would say that the souls game are a new genre now, death pain and suffering RPG or DPSRPG so ill go with souls.


Isn't that essencially what Rogue-like games are? I always considered the Souls games soft Rogue-like, but brilliant Action RPGs anyway.

I like how people are conveniently ignoring the second option in the poll as if it doesn't exist or it didn't inspire many games or vastly improve narrative in games. Its being treated as a third-rate exclusive, which very clearly PS fans in this site don't care about.

The only thing that game revolutionized was naked chicks on your PlayStation.

Tell me that when you play the game.

I think rogue-like games are not necesarily dark and scary, and the theme does not have to be hopelessness, souls games want you to quit not only through their gameplay, but because of the graphics, sound, lore, the whole atmostphere works psicologicaly agaisnts you.

How was Galaxy revolutionary? It didn't start any sort of revolution in gaming. Innovative, yes. Revolutionary, no.

Only right answer is Halo. Not only was it the biggest reason for the Xbox selling as well as it did, without which there might not have been a 360, it also greatly boosted the popularity and playability of FPSes on consoles. Halo 2 was also one of the first big online console games.


This is basically exactly what I was going to say, so I'll just quote it instead of taking 5 minutes to slightly re-word the same thing.

 

I'm sure Galaxy was an amazing game (I never played it), but what exactly did it revolutionize? From the trailers and footage I've seen it just looks like Super Mario 64 with obviously way more going on and HD graphics. Did it really revolutionize the platformer genre? I don't get how it's winning this poll...besides bias.

I voted Halo. It revolutionized first person shooters on consoles. Being a guy that missed out on Goldeneye when it was new, and having played it for the first time a couple years ago...I have no idea how people enjoyed it back then...the control scheme gave me cancer. Thank God Halo and other games around that time figured out about the dual joystick method. 

The other FPS games on consoles during that time were terrible, you have to give credit to Goldeneye 007 for being a great game despite only having 1 analogue stick. Also, Super Mario Galaxy isn't HD, but since Galaxy 2 will get ported to Wii U, it might become HD.

I have. Ninja Gaiden was a much better experience for a bloody hack'n slash. Seriously, that game even had the nerve to butcher Greek Mythology.

Honestly, Gow 3 was good but nothing spectacular in my opinion. There's much better PS exclusives to choose.

You and I have very different tastes. GOW III is my favourite PS exclusive by far and I prefer GOW to any of Naughty Dog's creations.

Seriously Ninja Gaiden? That game is absolutely shit. GOW is the best in its genre by far.
