Top Ten Industry Changing Games

In the beginning, there was Pong. Well, there were others, but Pong gets my vote as the oldest relevant video game. Since then, however, games have gotten slightly more complex. We’re telling deeply nuanced stories with bleeding-edge graphics, featuring state of the art sound and multimillion dollar talent.

That changed gaming for me and my friends for ever.

I think they should have Civilization in there, that game got me hooked for years! And a few other PC games.

Never been that keen on GTA games but I do understand their impact on the gaming world...

DoomeDx5439d ago

CoD changed the entire FPS industry. in a bad way.

Why? CoD4 was good, but now everybody tries to copy the formula of CoD, which never ends up well (Killzone 3, crysis 2)

Pikajew5439d ago

Horrible list. They should if put games that actual did somthing and not a little thing.

Only ones that did the most change was Zelda and MK

Snowii5439d ago

what about gta 3?

i think its the first 3d sandbox games with options like stealing cars and such

also heroes

TheOtherTheoG5439d ago

GTA III was the first sandbox game in the true sense, full stop.

Snowii5439d ago

there was a game before gta 3 that was also sandbox

Picnic5439d ago (Edited 5439d ago )

Right... no Mario 64 then. The game that set the template for Banjo Kazooie and various other 3D platformers.

And platform gams may not be a hugely dominant genre any more but historically they have been so I'd pick a 2D platformer too and, as boring as it is, I suppose that would have to be Super Mario Bros even though I preferred playing the likes of Manic Miner or Monty on the run.

And because I don't see many other dystopian shooters set underwater, I'd have put Resident Evil before Bioshock.

And how about Quake 3 for online gaming?
Or Mario Kart for the karting game genre?
Or Crazy Taxi for fun, open world feeling, racing games?

GTA3 is a bit overrated by the way in historical terms. Jet Set Radio was around the same time and that had a kind of open world feel to it even though it was broken up in to stages. You might as well pick the original top down GTA games rather than GTA3- there's no difference in gameplay is there. Now Max Payne from around the same time
has much more a claim for utilising Matrix like bullet time (and for its general survival horror like atmosphere in a shooter).

Ocarina of Time is also overrated in historical terms. Mario 64 was much more important.

"Gaming’s Biggest Fighting Franchise"

Press X to (seriously) doubt.

DarXyde45d ago

Underrated comment. I used to hate that game so much that any time my siblings asked me to play it, I just picked Hom and shut myself down mid-match.

Soy45d ago

And then MK1 killed it again.

DivineHand12545d ago (Edited 45d ago )

15 years went by so fast. I remember playing through the story mode at launch.

Capcom says it wants Mega Man, Devil May Cry, and Ace Attorney to be 'core IPs' like Monster Hunter

Sorry if you were expecting Bionic Commando.

ZeekQuattro177d ago

Actions speak louder than words. Show me a new Mega Man game that isn't a collection of games I played yesteryear. If they can churn out some kind of RE game every other year they can make a new Mega Man entry. It's not like it's known for its deep stories.

Christopher177d ago

I can see DMC, but the others just weren't built for that without some major adjustments on how they're played.

lukasmain177d ago (Edited 177d ago )

If they make the right choices and right kinds of games, the Mega-Man IP could potentially be made into an animated film or streaming series like the success of Mario and Sonic. Surely that thought may have crossed their minds? Or am I being silly? I mean there is a lot more water to go under the bridge for them to even start considering that. But I used to be a big mega-man fan back in the day. I'd love to see it happen.

shinXseijuro177d ago

It’s being done on purpose just to destroy inafune . It’s some pride stuff on the inside .

blacktiger177d ago

all talk and if they launch it will cost $200

shinXseijuro177d ago

Just like the guys said . I’ll believe it when I see it . Even the shareholders are asking questions regarding Megaman . I don’t want to sound ludacris but I have a strong conviction that the heads at Capcom are purposely holding the Megaman IP down because of their grudge and spite towards inafune on some deeper Japanese honour code stuff . It’s deeper than we think . You can tell something isn’t right .

VersusDMC177d ago

Well i hope DMC is being worked on. Either a remake of 1 or 6 will do.

And bring back Megaman X. Either regular, command mission or make it a Metroidvania since silksong is so popular.
