Of course many people have different definitions of hardcore. THere is such a thing as hardcore and casual. Plenty of review sites and tv shows use these two words. For games and sports.

No, there is no such thing as a "hardcore" game. There are "Mature" games, and there are games for everybody. "Hardcore" can only be applied to gamers, not games. How can an inanimate object be "hardcore" at something?
devil may cry's core, not hardcore it appeals to the masses, it's forgiving and it's way too flashy a game like ninja gaiden is hardcore since it's difficulty is a such a barrier that only die hards will stick with it madworld is probs hardcore, it's too niche, over the top and impossibly hard on hard mode (no, i couldnt be assed to get it) anyways... no more heroes ds maybe, possibly the grinder i would say silent hill, but apprently they're making it to appeal to the masses so i assume it must be forgiving
If you play hardcore, even Wii Sports can be hardcore. (i.e. getting pro in every single sports, getting gold medal in every training, etc. i think that's either pretty hardcore, or u are just exteremely bored) Hardcore is more of "how the player plays game", and core is "how the game appeals to its mass" that's how i think when it comes to hardcore

How can an inanimate object be "hardcore" at something? Technically there is no hardcore game. But its used so much by gamers and developers and everyone so its pretty much now has two meanings. Hardcore=Mature game

i think you're right actually i think that some games are designed for hardcore players but most games can ust be played in a hardcore way like harry potter and the chamber of secrets - getting everything in that game is definitely hardcore, unless you use a guide and a game like cod waw on easy, anyone can pickup and play but on the last 2 difficulties, it's one of the most hardcore adrenaline games ive ever played (it's also annoying s hell with grenade spamming retard nazis and a broken gda)
Without getting into some off topic debate about the meaning of words and just assuming that a hardcore game means a game that will typically appeal to hardcore gamers more than casual gamers, I would say Murumasa and Phantom Brave: We Meet Again are two of the more hardcore games to be coming in the future.

DMC 4 was a bit forgiving but not the third. That game threw everything at you plus more on DMD mode.

No, there is no such thing as a "hardcore" game. There are "Mature" games, and there are games for everybody. "Hardcore" can only be applied to gamers, not games. How can an inanimate object be "hardcore" at something? That distinction does not exist either, any game can be played by anyone, as a large part of the rated M audience is made of prepubescent kids. There is simply games, games you like, games you don't, there are no hardcore vs causual games, there are no mature vs everyone games, they are all just games, some will appeal to a larger audience than others, some will appeal to a particular demograph but in the end they are all just games.
Little King's Story. Seriously. This game may look kiddy, but it was created for gamers and carries a "T" rating for language and alcohol references. I find that hilarious and awesome.
I don't like the way this is phrased but I'm going to say Sin and Punishment 2. You don't get any more obscure a cult game than sin and punishment. If anyone's ever heard if it, they're sure not a "casual"

I just meant literally, there are games with an "M" rating on them, and games with an "E" rating on them.
[QUOTE="bob_newman"] No, there is no such thing as a "hardcore" game. There are "Mature" games, and there are games for everybody. "Hardcore" can only be applied to gamers, not games. How can an inanimate object be "hardcore" at something? Because it's AIMED at that audience. Come on now. A ton of major development companies use that term, including PopCap games, the primary purveyors of casual fare. How long are we going to deny that terminology exists despite its wide usage? Let's all just bloody well answer the question and not get all meta on the poor TC's ass. Anyway, ya, I think Muramasa will be, and same with NMH2. Same with The Conduit, and of course the new Metroid game.

There also games with T ratings on them, I know what your were saying but like I said ratings mean absolutely nothing, many, many kids play M rated games so even a ratings distinction is meaningless. Its probably more meaningless than the whole hardcore vs causal distinction.
Sin & Punishment 2 (Everything Treasure makes are Hardcore.) Muramasa: The Demon Blade (Vanillaware's games are hardly heard of so they can be classified as Hardcore.)
the term hardcore was created for ps360 fanboys who play fps and games where there is cussing every other word. its really all in the way you play it. COD could be just as "core" as neopets depending on how you play it. you could play COD casually
