Which game left the biggest legacy in gaming ?

[RealSchizo]

I'd go with Silent Hill 2. Perfect soundtrack and I have no idea how they managed to create such an ambient environment. Inspired many good horror games and left a lot of questions unanswared.

It is one of the few games that gets you invested in everything that is happening. How did Konami pull this off ? Shame that there is not a proper port on Steam for SH2 instead they're making a remake which hopefully is going to be good.

My laptop cannot run the remake obviously, but I'll watch walkthroughs on youtube.

It is one of the few games that deserves to be paid for. I would have definitely pre-ordered if my pc was decent. Well, I guess I saved myself some bucks.

if by "legacy" you mean general influence, probably DOOM or Half-Life 2

 

[deleted fren]

I assume that by legacy you mean an undying reputation despite the games age as well as being influential.

Super Mario Bros 3

Doom

Half Life

Final Fantasy 7

Ocarina of Time

Halo Combat Evolved

Super Mario 64

Minecraft

It's doom there so many can it run doom even doom enteral runs on switch and doom games are a good benchmark if your pc or laptop is trash

Depends on what you mean with "legacy"

History? Technology wise? Popularity ?

I just fully read your posts, apparently it's about your fav game.

GTA 3 literally created the modern 3D open world formula.

Resident Evil 4 for the over the top view & shooting.

 

[udeactive]

Red dead redemption 2

Mario

 

[Excalibur]

Medal of Honor

 

[starystulejarz]

Doom (first competent fps game)

HL1 and 2 (story based fps games)

Mario (first competent platformer)

Tony Hawk Pro Skater (first polished skate game)

Battlefield (for class based fps games on larger maps)

GTA 3 as a blueprint how to make a 3d open world story based game, while Driver failed

Gayshit impact (showed us that foids will be paying millions billions of dollars to get hot 2.5d chads and censoring female characters is a great idea)

Medal of Honor

true without that game there would be no COD series, actually a lot of devs of MOH worked on COD1

 

[Lonelyus]

For me, Conquerors blade, BF4 and red dead 1

Basically all videogames today can be "traced back" to Zork, Wolfenstein 3D, Populous or Tetris.

Of these, the first three emulate something, Tetris is the primordial "proper" videogame, that is: a form of art that refers to objects that were invented in the multimedia digital form (image, sound, keypresses etc.).

Probably Mario 64. Ico also secretly inspired a fuck ton of devs.

Silent Hill 2

Definitely not. Like, not even close. It didn’t even sell that well, and even back then, the targeted demographic was very niche. It’s a cult classic, for sure, but it’s not even close to being as impactful as the RE series was, especially RE4, with the way it made over the shoulder camera perspectives the norm going toward for third person shooters and survival horror games.

GTA 3: Revoultionized 3D open world games

I always find it funny when people say this. Not like The Elder Scrolls existed long before it or anything. I think even mechanically, the game was outdated for its time, but in terms of graphics, fidelity, and general openness, it offered a lot.

It was the first of many ‘fake open worlds’ where it gives players the illusion that they’re free, when in reality, it’s very closed and you could only explore so much. The way I see it: it was the least complex 3D game of the era where you could shut your brain off and still manage to enjoy it, hence it became insanely popular, and even to this day people still somehow think it was the first to ever do it.
