(September) Halo: Reach

(November) Gran Turismo 5 andLittleBigPlanet

(February)Killzone 3, Motorstorm: Appocalypse, and MLB 11: The Show

Now, if we extend it 2 months AFTER that, then Lemmings get 2 AAAE in that time (Gears of War 3)but that also gives Cows 6 AAAE (Infamous 2).

The best part about them all, is that each of the PS3 games listed, almost ALL of them are going to be graphics kings.

And by Guarranteed AAA Exclusives, I mean at Metacritic and Gamerankings. As if they all dont also have AAA on lock at Gamespot as well lol.

Inb4 only gamespot matters.

We use gamespot to compare "Flops", but when comparing quality titles, everywhere else is on the table.

And not to forget The Last Guardian and Agent also. We dont know much about those games but they are 2 names worth throwing out there.

If a game gets a 9 or a 9.5 it is AAA.

Silverbond

Well considering both MLB:10 the show and MLB 09: The showare BOTH 91 and 90 on Metacritic respectively, as well as 90.53 and 89.60 @ Gamerakings, its not exactly that far fetched :roll:

As well as Motorstorm? I actually look at games for themselves, and judge them, not the scores of the last game. One previewer called it "the Uncharted 2 of racing games" .

I see so how does a game at barely 720p become a graphics king? Rest of your argument is just opinions.

PC rules the graphics king department.

The only thing I got from the TC is that he is hyping Halo and Gears AAA. WAY to GO! Reach will get AAAA though. :P Actually all of those games do have a chance to get AAA. Fable3 could get AAA too (I know, teh not exclusive)

This is some weird thinking...you use scores of older games to claim that the sequel will get AAA, and right after say you actually look at the games yourself and not judge them by the last game. Thenyou believe motorstorm can get AAA by looking at the game for yourself and judging it, then quoted what a previewer said?

Because you are not giving them the benefit of the doubt as developers. You assume they are all idiotic robots who are going to do the same thing, while the opposite is true.

Not a single person expected Uncharted 2 to be as good as it was, when it was announced. Nobody saw that comming. I actually read previews and follow game development when I judge, I dont just blindly look at names to throw around in system wars.

The thing is, you are being Pessimistic. Game development doesnt work in a pessemistic manner, it works in an optimistic manner. They are going to be doing everything in their power to make sure that the game gets as high of a score as possible, while you are hoping for a lower score. You are hoping pessimisticly, while the developers (the ones actually making the game) are working optimistically.

mystervj
Agreed. Motorstorm I'd bet on an 8.5. MLB The Show is consistently AAA but they've kind of peaked, they can't make any real improvement from here on out so I highly doubt it can threepeat. Now if The Last Guardian and a Team Ico Collection happen to come out within the next 6 months I'll flip out and start yelling about 2011 being the year of the PS3, but until then there are 2 or 3 games I'd hype AAAE, and even those aren't guaranteed.

The point is it's close enough to a high AA score it could easily dip. People can easily say LittleBigPlanet is pretty much a guaranteed AAA (although saying anything is GUARANTEED AAA is stupid, if it flops you're owned) because it has a 95 on Metacritic, safely in the AAA range.

No I actually don't assume they are robots because the PS3 devs have been doing awesome things with their sequels save resistance 2. Also when uncharted 2 was announced and footage was shown everyone around here though it was going to be amazing, not as hyped as it was coming to release obviously, but many people thought it would be amazing and the more that was shown the more people jumped on that bandwagon.

Also believe it or not alot of us on SW follow game development.

Can you provide a link to these future review scores? :roll: Especially for Motorstorm since Pacific Rift only got an 8.0. Nothing is GUARANTEED.All I know is I get them all anywaysince I have both systems (and probably will get all of them but MLB and Motorstorm). Not being a fanboy FTW!

You are hoping pessimisticly, while the developers (the ones actually making the game) are working optimistically.

They aren't hoping for anything. They're stating a simple fact: no game is guaranteed AAA. The first 2-D Mario game in 15 years, I'm sure tons of people thought that was guaranteed AAA on its merits, and it ended up an 87 on Metacritic. Plenty of games just miss the mark and end up slightly below. For all we know LBP2 and GT5 could come out completely broken and in dire need of patching. I think GT5 looks boring, but in all likelihood it'll be the best in its genre and score highly, and I'm really hyped for LBP2. However, remember that until a score comes out nothing is certain. No one expected SMG2 to get a 10. Mafia II was expected to be a AA, maybe AAA, and sure it met hype here, but it's got a 73 over on Metacritic. Point is games exceed expectations, and games flop. Nothing is certain, and being overly optimistic about a game before it comes out can be a killer for your enjoyment of it.

Right...looks like barely 90 to me? what if a couple websites lower that a bit...all of the sudden we have an 87 or an 88? not guaranteed AAA...guaranteed AAA usually means 94+ not on the cusp...thats called potential AAA not guaranteed...

AAA means over 9. Thats it

No kidding, but if your going to judge a series by its games past history and the games have scores of 89 and 90...the next installment is by no means guaranteed AAA...whereas if you are judging a series and its past games have scores of 94 and 96...its much safer to assume the next installment will be AAA...not that you can ever guarantee a game will be AAA, but really...it makes for a much safer bet.

MLB 09 and 10 were both AAA(on metacritic) why wouldn't 11 be?

There's no real room for improvement or addition, and neither are a safe AAA, both border on AA. In fact MLB '10 was AA on MC for a long time, if a few reviews hadn't barely bumped it up it would've remained that way.

A, AA, AAA, and AAAA that we use in SW is defined by GS scores.

Its not hard for a series to deteriorate...especially a sports series. Look at the scores some the Madden games used to get and compare them to today. If MLB:11 is the same as MLB:10 with updated rosters, it probably wouldn't get AAA, and from a developers perspective for this type of game score isn't all that important many people buy sports games regardless of their scores...and simply because they lovethesport!
