Will there be a game with a perfect score of 10?

*If Money and time were not an issue*

First Question: With the new technology [PS3, Xbox 360, PC] we have now is it possible for a game developer to make a game with the highest quality without losing any game quality? And if so how can they achieve this?

Example:

- Great game play [story, game features, physics]?

- Great graphics [looks almost like real]?

- Fun to play?

- Great online play?

- Highest frame per second [60fps] and TV Resolution support [1080p]?

*Please explain your answer and also please provide your source of information*

I asked this question because some games can run at 60fps and have truly amazing graphics, but the rest of the game quality isn't all that great and some games only run at 30fps, but have great game features.

Second Question: Which game developing company would have the best chance to achieve this:

- Rockstar North?

- Kojima Productions?

- Bungie Software?

- Epic Games?

- 2K Games?

To be honest, they need to start giving them out again. What's the point of there being a 10 if a 9.5 is the highest they'll go anymore? 9.5 is the new 10 now. *shrugs*JustPlainLucas

What about 9.6 I've seen that.

GS is on a .5 increment scale now, so you'll never see anything higher than a 9.5 other than a 10.

You wont get a game that looks almost real, not on these consoles.. but it looks darn good to be sure.

I expect the next Shenmue to be real good in the graphics department, as for real life (or close to)graphics.. give it another 7-12 years which is my estimate.

A perfect 10 rating is like the holy grail for a game. If you gave a game a 10, that doesn't leave that goal for all games to try and reach, therfore forcing games to get better and better.

On Gamespot the highest score i saw for a game was GTA: San Andreas [9.6] and Gears of War [9.6]

Halo 3 only got a 9.5. Is Gamespot more stricked these days?

no game deserves a perfect 10 because no game is flawless. For a game to get a 10 every single person has to like it, it has to have no graphical glitches, incredibly great gameplay with no flaws, and a perfect story.Dopemonk736

That's actually not true with the new rating system, which is really the sole arguement for having it. A game can have a few small flaws, but if the final score would have been graded with a 9.8 or 9.9 that would now be rounded up to 10.

Note that 10 isn't "perfect" anymore, but rather "prime." That changes it from "best game ever" to "you can't get better than this... for now."MAILER_DAEMON

I think 10's should be more frequent. IMO, it's not saying "this game is perfect" but "this game is amazing". No game is perfect.

Yeah I heard that there was a game coming out that will totally get a 10. Its called Half-Halo 3: Call of WarZoneW3dotCOM

Nah this is better. Legend of Halo: Biogears of Mario-Life

its possible i think that GTA: IV might be one of the few games to actually get that score, considering the gTA games have always got around a 9.6 in score wise2ndWonder

It's probably more likely the games will get a 9.5 at the highest.

I highly doubt any game will ever recieve a 10 again from Gamespot. Their crew has become way too strict and way too harsh when rating games, and I hate it.

But if any game was close to receive a 10, it would be Call of Duty 4.

I don't give a crap what Gamespot thinks. What I think is good game and worthy of a 10 > Anyone else's opinion.

No game should ever get a 10 until the gaming community can grow up and stop trying to use those 10s as an automatic argument against any negative statement of the games in question.DarkCatalyst

Impossible.

Exactly.

Only game to truly deserve a 10 is legend of zelda it is flawless.

rest of the games they gave 10s to arent that good and the fact that halo 3 got 9.5 is just madness should get more like 8.0 or sumthin

No game should ever get a 10. No game is perfect. If you read my blog, you'll see my system; I do not issue 10s.The_Frederick

Honestly, I think scores mean very little. Ok, they're a good way to express if a game is good or flawed but what , IMO, really matters is the review text. Because, Pro's and Con's, every game has. Even Ocarina of Time had negative points. It just that that every person wieghs every feature their own way. Some people hate really hard games, some love it. some people like in-game advertisement, some don't. some don't even care.Sr_Mateus

Fanboy Alert!

I think that GS rarely gives out tens, compared to things likeOPM UK, which has given out at least 10 - maybe it is because they used to have a decimal system, which gives them more flexibility.

To this whole "There's no such thing as a perfect game" thing, well in my opinion I don't believe that since I actually played 2 games that were "perfect" meaning that if you changed anything in it, it would be worse. Even if you made the graphics better in these games, it would loose their stylle and mood by some effect.

And those games are

and

Those are the only games that I would call "Perfect" meaning it's impossible to make the actual game itself better.

Half-Life 2 came so close, but failed because of that stupid "Team" control thing at the end.
