God Of War 3 looked better than Final Fantasy (in 2010)!

Put a game from 1986 to make the list a full 25 years. 2011-1987= 24.

In reply to MrCheese.

Yea I saw this was all on different pages and said “screw that”

The last thing I am going to do is post this on G+ or FB for my friends to go to, I couldn’t even make it through to the second page myself…

In reply to MrCheese. Because hey stupidly think it will increase their ad revenue. When in reality, it decreases it since most people see a "one per page" list and don't click to the next one. Especially when it is a lame list like this. (Really...going back ALL THE WAY to 1987? Wow! That really was the birth of video games!)

There is an issue with the list. An error.

Wolfenstein 3D wasn’t actually 3D rendered. It provided a “pseudo 3D” affect by using ray casting to basically skew textures to make it look like you are in a 3D space, while a depth buffer made sure that an enemy “behind” a corner couldn’t be seen. Obviously because it wasn’t “true 3D” it was limited to a “single plane” environment. Even with Doom, the game, when you went up stairs, you were still on the same virtual plane. As a result, you will NEVER find a “bridge” or “tunnel” that goes under or over another path/room.

One last thing, while Wolfenstein 3D obviously made “3D” popular, games like Catacomb 3D and Hovertank 3D used the same technique to do all that the W 3D engine did.

Is it just me; Or does Uncharted 2 LOOK WAY better than Crysis2? Maybe U2 should be LAST on this list…
