What is Sony's best series?

What am I exactly? Someone with great taste? I agree.

I really hope Naughty Dog works on a new Jak and Daxter for PS4 after they finish Uncharted 4

Twisted Metal!

I'm calling shenanigans with this poll @char. Shame on you for leaving out Greatness. :P

I feel like the first game is the only one that really needed to exist. Story-wise and gameplay-wise GoW2 and GoW3 were completely irrelevant. They feel so tacked on.

Sexy choice, amigo!

I had forgotten it existed! In my defense, so did Sony *runs*

Sony has made a lot of good/great one off games but the franchises have been weak when judged as a series.

Probably Uncharted.

Twisted Metal

I really don't understand how I forgot Twisted Metal...

What does being new have to do with any of this?

I've been gaming since the 90s, and honestly speaking I don't like any of those franchises. Like I can accept that Sony's published some really good games in Uncharted 2, Last of Us, Demon's Souls, Dark Cloud 2, and on some level I can respect what Gran Turismo was. But entire franchises man those franchises have some straight up stinkers or they were way the **** outclassed by better games in there genre. For instance God of War 2 is pretty good, but I wouldn't even humor the notion that it held its own against better beat em up games of that era, much less the shit Platinum started doing once they hit the ground running.

Like purely series, Dark Cloud is the only Sony published series that I can say really I have any affinity for. The other shit? Right now I'm waiting for all of them to get more than one good game to their name. In Sucker Punch's case, they could make a good game for the first time and that would be neato.

In theory the Team Ico games are a series, but that's pushing it at this point.

The Order. Best series Sony ever created.

I'm mainly saying this because I can't vote for Twisted Metal.

I don't agree.

If team ICO's games counts as a series then I pick those games. But from the poll I chose God of War.

Though Unfarted is a my second choice.

Uncharted is winning?....

So... If somebody could explain to me the appeal of Uncharted, that would be cool. It's still the biggest gaming mystery to me. I know it's opinion and all, but I can usually get in the shoes of others and see why they like a game I don't. I've just never been able to understand this one and nobody's actually made an attempt to really explain its quality.

I know people are probably annoyed by me saying this all the time, but I keep doing it in hopes somebody will actually discuss it with me instead of just writing me off.

GT was, not sure if it will continue, we'll see with GT7 I suppose.

Honestly, based purely on fun-factor, inFamous.

Is the TC serious ?

Crash Bandicoot.

For me it's a tie between Jak & Daxter and God of War.

I enjoy Uncharted. It's not the greatest franchise in gaming by any means, but I enjoy the Indiana Jones narrative, the gorgeous set pieces, etc. The games don't offer much replayability, but I have fun with them on the first play through.

Not uncharted

I see. The best argument I've ever heard somebody make for Uncharted is the verticality in its gameplay. When the person mentioned that, I had to agree. What other TPS allows you to get to higher vantage points. I usually hit on a lot of bad choices in terms of the games combat, but this I had to concede. Uncharted does have something that makes it unique in its gameplay.

I also must add that the direction shown in the U4 gameplay demo looks like a substantial improvement in terms of combat scenarios and flexibility. Especially when I consider the verticality mentioned above.

Yeah, GoW2 and GoW3 felt basically identical to GoW. I don't get the people who say GoW2 is the best and GoW3 sucked. They are all the same game. It's a good game, but it's stale at this point.

@scottpsfan14: When you compare it to other hack n slashes, yeah God of War is pretty weak in general. You get a lot less for your buck with that series.

Yeah, the verticality goes hand in hand with the set pieces. Shoot outs on crumbling rooftops, trains hanging off of cliffs, and other precarious locations are fun. At least to me they are. The actual meat of the game itself is sub-par, but as a single player action game, it works. I wasn't expecting to vote for Uncharted going in, but after viewing the other options, I felt it was the best on the list. It makes me feel like Sony's first party gets way more credit than they deserve.

It's a below average game in gaming's best genre. I'd still call it a good game overall.

Original I would have said Ratchet, but the last few games have shattered me. It's also a pain that Sony doesn't own a lot of the great franchises associated with the brand over the years. I know they started being aggressive recently, which explains the whole Insomniac Sunset deal, but then they are also removing Ips like Socom and Wipeout.

Sony made some good games but when these games became a series, the series aren't that good. So when you compare the series, they pretty much enough out for me.

The Souls games aren't hns. I don't know why a fan of any particular genre would want to claim them, though. They just do everything poorly, imo. I don't like the leveling system or the loot system. The zombies on Left 4 Dead have better AI than the enemies I encountered in Demon's Souls. The melee combat is ok. I'm not a big fan of the stamina system or strafe-based combat, but it's better than most other RPGs. The ranged combat mechanics are really bad. The thing that really sets Souls games apart from hns, though, is that you just never do anything cool in a Souls game. You can't jump off of walls, you have no twitch-based moves to take on multiple enemies at once, no combos, etc. Dying is fun in a good hns game. You say "Holy crap, that was intense, and I can't wait to give it another try!" In a Souls game, it's more like "Holy crap, I just died and now I have to replay that whole boring level to get back to where I was. I can't believe I didn't notice that guy camping out around the corner."
