I think this game will be 1 on the gamerankings list.

Not going to happen. Not because it's not going to be a great game, but the fact that there's too many reviews that are taken into account (on both gamerankings and metacritic), even one 80% would have a huge impact on the games score. That's why nothing will be OOT unless it is truly mind blowing. Personally I think it'll never happen, though I would never rank SMG #1, if even it didn't get it (close though) with all the hype, revival of a genre and groundbreaking elements it had, I doubt anything will.

MGS is by far the best franchise in the history of video games. And Ive played alot of video games.

Debatable, it certainly brought the stealth genre into popularity. But I'd think these were better franchises:

Mario

Zelda

Halo (yes halo, only because it did to the console FPS genre what MGS did to stealth, but like by X10 instead)

Final Fantasy (Main series)

Half-Life 

 

By best franchises I'm talking about a consistent quality of games and the impact they have on genre's/gaming in general.

It sure is looking good for gaming this generation.

Sales-wise:

Wii attracts a lot of the blue ocean, and also gets some of the SNES'ers to come back.

PS3 seems to be able to get in a big part of Ps2 userbase, and also get some new in.

X360 takes in most XB owners and some more.


Game-wise

X360 has a massive line-up, mainly shooters, but also a lot of RPGs and others.

Ps3 gets some of the enourmous X360 titles (they go multiplat) and they also have some great exclusives, even though many of them have bene rated down by reviewers.

Wii is a great stand-alone console for non-hardcore gamers who are fine with not alot of games comming in. It is also a superb own for multi-console owners. I have yet to see a solo-Wii-owner be unhappy with the library.

Electronic Arts is losing money, and some companies are now able to refuse being taken over.

We are seeing record high reviews for anyone who cares about those.

Surely this is looking to be one of the greatest generations for gamers, yet.

@ starcraft you may have to change your sig to one ps3 exclusive with 90% plus ( if it remains exclusive which i'm fairly certain of)

Lol.  I already made a thread acknowledging that very possibility.
