Quake
Unreal
TIE Fighter
Pa Rappa The Rapper
Guitar Hero
Castlevania, we know which is the best but the name alone is included in a current and widely made genre
Splinter Cell
Tony Hawk Pro Skater
R-type
I hate to even mention it, but Fortnite should probably be listed
I don't know what game created the 1 vs 4 thing but that's a huge genre right now.
I'm having a brain meltdown trying to remember games.
Edit: Had one more as I submitted
Dance Dance Revolution
Unreal

I love this series, i have all 3 retail discs.
Its innovative, enemies AI is great, some horror...But for me its not a game that inspired developers, or created a tendency or genre.

Don't sleep on Another World. First of it's kind to use cinematic style cutscenes and gameplay. One of my all time favorite games too.
I don't know how you want your list to be, Guitar Hero you got, but Rock Band also expanded on that by adding the whole band. Rocksmith uses real guitars. Pa Rappa should be there because it influenced all rhythm games.

These seem to be more a list of games console online media trained people to consider the best games who grew up into the web age.

*Checks for Max Payne 2*
Okay, yeah, Max Payne 2
Also Dark Souls 3 and Condemned
Edit: I see DS on there. And I'm sure people would list Max Payne instead of 2. But I think the ones on my list perfected the formula of the originals, personally. I do think Condemned should be on the list for unique melee horror.

That doesn't really change anything I said but sure.
Your other post about Portal indicates you want influential games. Are you looking for influencial games or just peoples personal favorites that they consider to be the best ever made?
MasterDerico
Member
About 3D fighters, you are alright, i should post Toshinden, not Soul Calibur or Soul Edge. BUUUT, as i said, those game had more boom than a established game that created the genre.
MasterDerico
Member
Not personal.
-Games that redefined or defined genres and sub-genres.
-Games that u see developers using the formula until today, they was inspired by then. Influence.
MasterDerico

Let me get this straight; You're only interested in influential games and not the actual best games? Because the latter is actually interesting, but the former is not as its gonna consist of many games which have not aged well at all, mostly because of how the imitators improved on them.
edit: other way around, changed it.

Lots of IPs with innovation came at the dawn of 3d. Tomb Raider OG (for me) was the best of them.
