5 Games We’ll Remember In 20 Years

The games that we’ll make our kids play while they’re taking a break from virtual reality porn.

Let’s be clear, these games are those special experiences that brought something so unique, polished or wonderful that they become timeless. They are far from perfect but like any man in love will tell you, the imperfections just makes her that much more special.

To make things more interesting we’re also trying to stick to newer games. Bioshock, Call of Duty 4 and Half Life 2 are already classics in their own right so we’re not going to suck them off again.

Without further mumbling here are the top five games that, like it or not, changed the course of gaming for the better. Graphics will improve and consoles will change but these five games should be played by every generation until the sun burns out or Half Life 3 is released, whichever comes sooner.

ljh2175234d ago

There are very few modern games I would pick that will be remembered in 20 years (which is a REALLY long time). There is only two I would pick from last years releases (which is where the majority of these picks are from) and those two are Skyrim and Portal 2.

iChii5233d ago (Edited 5233d ago )

The games I'll probably remember are:

Silent Hill 2
Metal Gear Solid: 3 Snake Eater
Metal Gear Solid: 2 Son's of Liberty
Resident Evil 3
Jak 3
Killer Instinct (SNES)
Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas
Final Fantasy 8
Zelda: A Link to the Past
Devil May Cry
Conker's Bad Fur Day
Annnd Megaman X5 (Watching Zero die is unforgettable)

Emilio_Estevez5234d ago

I would have to agree, I would say that there are lot of people right now who don't even know what they are. If I asked 5 of my video gaming friends about them, I'm fairly certain only 1 or 2 would even know they existed. They are good games, but most people don't remember them now, let alone in 20 years.

AfricanWoolf5234d ago

I suppose that was kinda the point - the last two are games that, for anyone whose played them, will be remembered.

I also think you underestimate how popular they were.

Maybe the article should have focused more on the fact that the games are examples of experiences that stick with you for a long time.

I still remember playing through them because there was something profound about the experience.

Didn't mean to make a proclamation about which games are the best, just trying to spread my love of these particular 5. :)

5 Games smart people will Remember In 20 years,how it should be

gamingsquid5234d ago

Seriously I don't remember a single one lame list

Psychotica5234d ago

You actually play video games right?

Fishy Fingers5234d ago (Edited 5234d ago )

All good games, but all will probably be lost in time rather quickly. People are fickle, on to the next best thing, nothing these days has the initial impact of something like PacMan or Mario.

Realistically, titles like Angry Birds/Farmville will have as good a chance, if not better, than any of the games on that list of being remembered.

AfricanWoolf5234d ago

You're probably right but I won't admit it.

I choose to believe the games I picked, being excellent works of art, will be remembered.

The world ends in December so who knows, maybe religions will start surrounding my favourites :D

I am the first priest of the Church of Bastion.

CarlitoBrigante5234d ago

Dafuq are u saying? People equally remember non popular games too, just becoz it didnt sell 100 million units doesnt mean we wont remember the little gems.

It all comes to in what genre you're interested. RPG people will remember the greatest of the genre like Secret of Mana, Xenogears, Chrono Trigger/Cross, Skies of Arcadia

Everybody remembers Shenmue eventough it didnt sell well.

Abdou235234d ago (Edited 5234d ago )

I still remember MGS 1 perfectly fine, till this day i still know how to beat every boss ( Psycho Mantis..anyone?! ) and how to get out of every situation. and it's been 15 years. i doubt any current gen game would last with me all that long, i don't even remember the good games i played 2-3 years ago.

Picnic5234d ago (Edited 5234d ago )

I'm going to nitpick about Uncharted 2 though - a poor beginning in my beginning throwing in a dull stealth section with some below par graphics I thought there too. And no maneouvrable vehicles in the game- this might have been a design decision but I loved the jetskis in the first game. Apart from that, the time that the game gave to just exploring was welcome although it remains difficult for any game with snow scenes to impress me with its effects as Metroid Prime did that so well with Phenandra Drifts 10 years ago.

NeoTribe5234d ago

Below par graphics? Really?

Picnic5234d ago (Edited 5234d ago )

I'm purely talking about near the beginning where you're in these Arabian style buildings. It's a weak part I thought like being in some bad Prince of Persia game- and thankfully short.

The actor who portrayed Zoltan Chivay in The Witcher series of games has died

Alexander Morton, the Scottish actor probably best known for starring in British comedy drama Monarch of the Glen - but known to me for being the hilariously foul-mouthed dwarf Zoltan Chivay in The Witcher 2 and The Witcher 3 - has died aged 81.

Bro missing companions: Legion, Grunt, Samara/Morinth, Javik, EDI

anast537d ago

Legion, Zaeed, and Jack are my favorites.

RiseNShine537d ago

To think that Bioware at some point was capable of doing games like this, you see those characters and remember them like good old friends, and now check ME Andromeda, Anthem, Veilguard etc and wonder what the hell happened.

anast537d ago

They lost too much talent.

IAMRealHooman537d ago

some in andromeda are decent, I agree with peebee and Vetra being good companions. Except Liam he's trash tier

anast536d ago

Liam lol I can't stand that dude.

IAMRealHooman536d ago

it's like bitch but your shirt back on, your not blue or spikey get away from me

Uncharted 2 Is the Most Important PlayStation Exclusive of All Time

In a list of games that defined the PlayStation 3, Uncharted 2: Among Thieves would certainly be one of the top contenders. The blockbuster sequel to 2007’s Uncharted: Drake’s Fortune not only received critical acclaim and became a massive hit for Sony’s third console when it was released 15 years ago on October 13th, 2009, but it also cemented Naughty Dog’s future as a developer of cinematic, story-driven action-adventure games as opposed to its history of colorful platformers like Crash Bandicoot and Jak and Daxter from previous PlayStation generations. To this day, Uncharted 2 stands as one of the PS3’s best exclusives and one of the most important PlayStation games of all time.

gold_drake569d ago

it was pretty good. especially the multiplayer

KyRo569d ago

I loved this era on multiplayer games from Sony. People used to call the modes tacked on multiplayer but they were enjoyable. I loved Factions even more. I'm Still gutted that the second one isn't coming out.

-Foxtrot569d ago

Yeah, that one game where it not only has an amazing single player but the multiplayer was also just as good.

A fresh a breath air with it's more "skill focused, less is more" multiplayer in a time during COD fever where every other game with online was trying to be like it.

Shame NaughtyDog eventually did do COD like things with Uncharted 3 and 4, they ruined what made the original so good. It become an over the top arcade fest in the end.

Inverno569d ago

Ironic cause the MP was basically Halo, and Bungie helped on the technical side of things too. MP was more simple back then, I've said this before but I played U2 MP religiously. I sucked at it like you have no idea, but mah gawd did I have so much fun. Can't find an MP game that hooked me like U2s these days. Then Factions came along and while it had its problem I found new religion with it. Agh damn it why did they cancel Factions 2 bruhh.

gold_drake569d ago

i had so much fun too, played almost every night with mates or cousins baha

Relientk77569d ago

It is for sure my favorite game in the series. It's such a blast to play. The train levels still hold up and are fun as hell as well as the entire game.

RaidenBlack569d ago (Edited 569d ago )

Still remember the first gameplay video ... shooting the chasing truck and then the beautiful visuals & details whilst traversing the dilapidated Nepal streets ... perfection
Too bad Sony never ported the trilogy to PC ...

RaiderNation569d ago

I would argue it's God of War.

darthv72569d ago

I'll say, the PS3 really did sequels better than people give it credit for. Resistance 2, Uncharted 2, Motorstorm Pacific Rift, Infamous 2... all were better than their initial offerings and still hold up to this day.
