Would come off as more genuine if he listed some non-PS games.

It's hilarious that people think Yoshida must have an objective opinion here. He probably isn't the least bit interested in what other consoles offer.

Was it him or Kaz that got a Wii U?

 

[Razgriz-Specter]

all PS games, WHAT A COINCIDENCE

Well my list would be kinda similar and the only MS game that would make it is Halo:ODST somewhere around top 5.

 

[exfatal]

lol no mario galaxy or tales of games? someone needs to play more games

 

[zackmorris]

Didn't even play half of those. GTA V should be higher it's REALLY good. Uncharted 2 deserves kudos for having one of the best stories I ever saw in a video game.

If you didn't play half the games how could you say GTA should be higher?

 

[elhav]

Respect for having Journey and Souls games on the top of the list.

And lol at people saying he should have certain games on the list. It's his list you know.

 

[Mohasus]

He thought it was bad since the version he played didn't resemble the final game, the article explains that.

Hmm, no. It was a mess when he first saw, but when he played it, it was close to final. I think it is more like what Miles Quaritch said (Yoshida gave a second chance and had a change of heart).

 

[Htown]

Bad list, but he's limited to choosing from games on Sony platforms, so what're ya gonna do?

 

[zackmorris]

Bad list, but he's limited to choosing from games on Sony platforms, so what're ya gonna do?

What games that should be on this list aren't available on a Sony platform. Maybe a Halo game, but that's about it.

 

[Bravocado]

In his defense, these are all terrific games. It's not inconceivable that this could be the list of an unbiased individual.

With that said, no Pokemon? Come on Yosp ;-P

 

[SolidSnakex]

It's hilarious that people think Yoshida must have an objective opinion here. He probably isn't the least bit interested in what other consoles offer.

He's actually mentioned that he's a big Mario Galaxy fan.

 

[braves01]

I get that he needs to say titles that are on Sony platforms, but Journey? Really now

 

[paskowitz]

Awful list.

Great list!

GAF.

 

[twobear]

Pretty disingenuous to paint yourself as a gamer if this is the case, frankly.

Presumably this is the PR-friendly list.

 

[TheKastorian]

You can skip to around the 1:29:00 mark. He gets pretty emotional when talking about Journey.

1. Journey
2. Demon’s Souls/Dark Souls (tie for #2 and #3)
3. Demon’s Souls/Dark Souls (tie for #2 and #3)
4. The Last of Us
5. Uncharted 2: Among Thieves
6. Sound Shapes (Favorite PS Vita game)
7. Persona 4: The Golden
8. LittleBigPlanet
9. Grand Theft Auto V
10. Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare

Great list and totally agree

 

[BlazingDarkness]

I get that he needs to say titles that are on Sony platforms, but Journey? Really now

FYI, Journey won GAF GOTY. It'd probably be a contender for GOTG on here too.

 

[braves01]

FYI, Journey won GAF GOTY. It'd probably be a contender for GOTG on here too.

And I think that's a shame, too.

 

[Sandfox]

Uncharted 2 > The Last of Us IMO

 

[Feindflug]

Bad list, but he's limited to choosing from games on Sony platforms, so what're ya gonna do?

Well at least he put the Souls games in there...besides the Souls games (which are the top 2 IMO) I don't think that any other game on that list would make it on my top 20 to be honest.

 

[revolverjgw]

FYI, Journey won GAF GOTY. It'd probably be a contender for GOTG on here too.

It won GOTY in a really weak year. I can't see that having a realistic chance overall.

 

[GeoramA]

Good list. Lots of GOTY winners.

 

[BlazingDarkness]

It won GOTY in a really weak year. I can't see that having a realistic chance overall.

It also won like a billion awards in the industry, can't chalk that up to it being 'a really weak year', it's a bit of a disservice, no?

 

[Htown]

What games that should be on this list aren't available on a Sony platform. Maybe a Halo game, but that's about it.

well the best game of the generation is missing, so let's start there.

If IW wants to give COD4 a graphical makeover and release it instead of Ghosts 2, I'd be down for that. Or a map pack with all the maps...

 

[Glass Rebel]

well the best game of the generation is missing, so let's start there.

to be fair, nobody played sin & punishment 2

 

[Hyunashi]

Persona > GTA5?
Well done yoshp!

 

[Htown]

to be fair, nobody played sin & punishment 2

wrong Wii game

 

[IncandescentPrecept]

No Red Dead? Mass Effect 2? Bioshock? Galaxy? Portal?

A matter of opinions, wouldn't you say?

 

[Ragingnight]

well the best game of the generation is missing, so let's start there.

and that would be?

That list has a few games I would put, some I would not because I have simply not played them (demon/dark/sounds shape).

999/VLR would be up there.

 

[Origami Superman]

Journey is top 10 worthy. The rest, not so much.

 

[Feindflug]

It won GOTY in a really weak year. I can't see that having a realistic chance overall.

I bet that it will be in the top 5 of Gaf's GOTG results.

In fact the top 5 will be something like that:

1. The Last of Us
2. Uncharted 2
3. Dark Souls
4. Journey
5. GTAV

What games that should be on this list aren't available on a Sony platform. Maybe a Halo game, but that's about it.

Did you own only a PS3 this gen? serious question.

 

[Empty]

Pretty disingenuous to paint yourself as a gamer if this is the case, frankly.

Presumably this is the PR-friendly list.

if i was making a pr friendly list i think i'd neglect the souls games what with how sony fumbled the franchise

 

[cebri.one]

He really does get emotional at the end, journey is that special.

 

[Caronte]

lol no mario galaxy or tales of games? someone needs to play more games

That's funny.

 

[GamerJM]

I don't get why he listed Vita games as games from this generation. The Vita and PS3 are from different console gens.

 

[RedRedSuit]

Here are the ones I've played/finished:

• Journey
• Uncharted 2: Among Thieves
• Persona 4: The Golden <I played PS2 version though>
• LittleBigPlanet
• Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare

Would definitely put Uncharted 2 into top 10 (at #2, after ME2).

Would definitely put Persona 4 in there somewhere... though it's a bit odd to call it part of that generation, but fair enough.

CoD 4 probably wouldn't make the list at this point for me, but it was definitely very cool at the time.

LBP was stunning but also janky, and LBP2 didn't quite fix that, so no.

Journey was cool.

 

[Inanna]

Sorry, but this looks like a list for PR. It feels like a very safe Playstation's greatest hits list. He could have thrown in a bone like Minecraft or Angry Bird or something.

Its like you people didn't even listen to the podcast and came to rant here. Its a PS podcast, the guys asked him about PS3 TOP 10, NOT top 10 in general...

 

[antitrop]

Journey is top 10 worthy. The rest, not so much.

You should play The Last of Us, it's pretty decent.

 

[twobear]

if i was making a pr friendly list i think i'd neglect the souls games what with how sony fumbled the franchise

Those games are 'real gamer' catnip. If I were head of PR at Sony I'd be telling everyone to say it's one of the best games ever made at every opportunity.

 

[Dibbz]

Spot on with Journey. Game of the generation, no question. Fucking masterpiece. Possibly better than Team ICO games, it was that fucking good.

 

[fantomena]

Opinions, how they work?

 

[Empty]

Those games are 'real gamer' catnip. If I were head of PR at Sony I'd be telling everyone to say it's one of the best games ever made at every opportunity.

yeah fair point

 

[Razgriz-Specter]

If IW wants to give COD4 a graphical makeover and release it instead of Ghosts 2, I'd be down for that. Or a map pack with all the maps...

I would take anything COD4 related.
they could sell all 16 COD4 maps at $5+ each and I would buy at least 15 of those.

thats $75 extra free just need some slight graphical updates.

 

[Morfeo]

Terrible list imo, but thats Sony PR for you!

 

[ohlawd]

Where the fuck is Folklore?

 

[IncandescentPrecept]

Those games are 'real gamer' catnip. If I were head of PR at Sony I'd be telling everyone to say it's one of the best games ever made at every opportunity.

Even Sound Shapes and Journey?

 

[Bright-Light]

Take out GTA V, Sound shapes and demon souls.
Pop in Fallout 3, gears of war 2 and Ni no kuni.
Then I would struggle to disagree.
Although I might find room for Ratchet and Clank:ACIT and Fable 2.(yes I said fable 2 in my top ten! #dealwithit)

 

[Pistolero]

I'm listening to the podcast and I am finding it simply fantastic! Thank you OP!

 

[Sword Of Doom]

Didn't even play half of those. GTA V should be higher it's REALLY good. Uncharted 2 deserves kudos for having one of the best stories I ever saw in a video game.

He said only reason GTA V isn't higher is because he's only played it for a few hours.

 

[kurbaan]

Journey is top 10 worthy. The rest, not so much.

You get an F.

The last of US and Demon Souls are amazing.

 

[mujun]

Pretty disingenuous to paint yourself as a gamer if this is the case, frankly.

Yeah, seems a bit silly.
