Greatest Fan Service

Which games do you think supply the greatest fan service? Don't get me wrong, the game may not have been critically acclaimed but maybe it catered specifically to the fans, and they loved it. For instance, what I'm hearing about the new AvP is that it sticks to the old formula, which a lot of fans appreciate. Evidently, a lot of reviewers don't like the fact that it hasn't taken some of the "innovations" brought forth by newer games like Modern Warfare's rank system with unlockable perks/gear, but all my friends who have it, say they like it more for sticking to it's roots.

So anyway, my choice goes to MGS4. That game has got to be the greatest fan service...ever. I mean everything about this game just brings back Nostalgia. A certain locale you go to later in the game just brought tears in my eyes seeing how beautiful the place had aged. The return of all the series characters in glorious HD visuals was also quite the touch, and the little references to past games. This is by far the greatest fan service IMO.

id say doom3 for me, if doom3 had left 4 dead 2's zombie a.i that game would be close to perfect lol.

Chun Li and Sakura, nuff said. ;)

But actually, TC's example of MGS4 is stronger than mine.

doom3 is the last game i actually loved...2004, been awhile huh? 6 years and still no games i enjoyed more?

my main complaints about doom3, ...the a.i could of been better and i wish it had more deathmatch maps.

doom3 multiplayer is ****in awesome to me, because it's just like quake except with the ability to hide in the shadows.

That's a shame quake 3's bot a.i is better than doom3's a.i.

doom3 single player would of been awesome if the imps could of climbed walls like on the trailers and how aliens do on alien vs predator 2010.

the a.i just cant climb stuff that sucks.

I think the Disgaea series has fan-service covered.

The Smash Bros. series. Those games ARE fan service.

Halo

Some trash talk halo but fans always go back to it each halo have bring something new + the trilogy was grate

Halo CE was legendary selling over 5mill fans

Halo 2 introduce multiplayer like no other at the time bringing back 5mill fans and adding 3mill for a total of 8mill sold

Halo 3 Finish up the trilogy and added some amazing multiplayer stuff like make your own maps Video editing bringing back the 8mill fans from halo 2 and adding 2mill for a total of 10mil fans who buy the game

HALO3 ODST its probly the best selling Expansion of all times but its a stand alone expansion so its miss judge a lot

halo got popular because halo was the only first person shooter the xbox had for like almost 2 years.

halo definitely doesnt sell because it's good.

people were just desperate for a FPS on the original xbox so they bought it only one avalible for 2 years.

then the name just got trendy now it sells on its name.

i bought halo 11-13-2001 2 days before the original xbox even launched.

HALO WASNT SELLING GOOD AT ALL...WHEN IT WAS FIRST RELEASED IT DIDNT START SELLING GOOD ABOUT A YEAR AFTER IT WAS RELEASED.

PEOPLE JUST BECAME DESPERATE BECAUSE HALO WAS XBOX'S ONLY FPS FOR SO LONG.

Come on people, lets be honest here...Halo CE was a masterpiece regardless of why it sold, its one of the better FPSes out there, dare I say one of the best?II_Seraphim_II

no, because halo didnt start selling good untill a year after it's release.

it sold poorly when it was first released.

people wanted a fps so they bought it....the people who bought it obviously liked it because they are probley fps noobs and have come acustomed to newbie games so continued buying newbie halo games.

[QUOTE="nmaharg"] You say that like FPS on consoles were popular before Halo. Halo is the sole reason FPS are what they are today. Halo deserves alot of respect.nmaharg

It's mostly in shounen, but sometimes seinen has fanservice.
