I never expected Blacksite to ever appear on one of these lists. I sure couldn't enjoy it as much as you 😅

[@thepolygondon9198]

Haha yeah I definitely think I’m in the minority but I can’t deny the fun I had with it. It’s got its issues though, for sure

[@boogracz2550]

oh, forgot about blur, awesome game

[@AJ72281]

I forgot about Dre……

[@Estorium]

Blur is in my top 5 games that I would kill to have remastered for modern systems. Breaking out my PS3 to play it at a suboptimal framerate for a racing game is not ideal.

[@cocktailzombie]

I have gone over the whole playlist and discovered some titles to pick up. I don't know if you have them but Army of Two, The Saboteur and Deadly premonition (alternate title red seeds profile) would fit in this series.

[@thepolygondon9198]

Deadly Premonition is the only game I’m missing from your suggestions, The Saboteur and Army of Two are games games I’ve been meaning to cover on the channel for some time. Thanks for reminding me and thanks for watching! 👊🏼

[@leelid4376]

Blur is a lot of fun! One of my favorite hidden gems but it makes me curse a lot!! Lol

[@thepolygondon9198]

Yes! Especially trying to get all the lights for the later tracks! 🫠

[@Ivotas]

Another fantastic video. I was particularly interested in the Avatar game but with the servers being down and the trophy being inaccessible it might be something for me alt account.^^'

[@thepolygondon9198]

Cheers man 👊🏼 yeah I hate it when that happens 😔

[@nicholasbullock1709]

There is a physical remastered version of Resonance of Fate for the PS4. It’s Korean with an English translation, titled End of Eternity,

[@thepolygondon9198]

Yes, I have recently had this brought to my attention, had no clue! Will definitely try and track a copy down providing it’s not too ridiculously expensive. Thanks for letting me know 👊🏼

[@saviordream]

I have both Blur and Resonance of Fate on the PS3 (actually was able to get a new copy of RoF for only around $20 or so), but haven't gotten around to playing either of them yet. They're just a couple of the many games I have sitting in my backlog that I'm planning on tackling when I retire, which is hopefully in a few years.

[@thepolygondon9198]

Blur is just brilliant and immediately addictive. Resonance of Fate requires a lot more patience and perseverance but the pay off for sticking with it is immense. That’s a decent price for a sealed copy of RoF though, good find! And enjoy the retirement when it comes, spending it working your way through your backlog sounds like a match made in heaven! Enjoy

[@rasmusnygaard1747]

Blur is epic and Avatar is such an underrated game. Games based on movies often sucks, but not this one.

[@shymira]

blur and resonance of fate ♥♥

[@rvpnetbart]

Excellent video Don, i like it very much, bring more videos like this please, cheers 😊

[@thepolygondon9198]

Thank you 👊🏼 More is on the way very soon

[@TheAbhorrentTruth]

Got all of these (however, I never played g-force, my young lad has, he seemed to enjoy it). Blur really is a must for anyone one who has a ps3. I'm surprised to see blacksite. I enjoyed the game, i was just hoping for a sequel to improve on the interesting concept.

[@thepolygondon9198]

Yeah Blur really is fantastic. Probably the best arcade racer from that gen, and there was a few really good ones

[@TheAbhorrentTruth]

@thepolygondon9198 I also really liked split/second 👍 but I'd have to agree with you on Blur be at the top. Great content btw, better analysis than the so called professionals.

[@thepolygondon9198]

Nice one mate, appreciate you saying that and yes! Split/Second was also incredible, love that HUD design 👌🏼

[@bobbuilder155]

I will only play prototype, juiced 2, midnight club los angeles, altered beast, dragon age inquisition, dante inferno, the darkness, ninja gaiden.

[@colek.]

Blur is still online btw :) great vid though, as always!

[@thepolygondon9198]

Oh wow really? On PS3 or PC? Thanks man, glad you enjoyed it 👊🏼

[@colek.]

@@thepolygondon9198 PS3! I played it online a few months ago

[@thepolygondon9198]

Ok well that’s cool! I must’ve just been unlucky finding anyone in the lobby when I tried then

[@bentbooster012]

Black site is pretty fun , but I suggest you play it on the Xbox 360 instead of the ps3

[@allenc6277]

Redeemer, Dex, Endling extinction is forever and Gravel for your next ps4 gems

[@thepolygondon9198]

Dex is something I’ve been wanting to talk about for a while and Redeemer and Gravel have been on my shopping list for ages. Haven’t heard of Endling Extinction though so I’ll check that out. Nice one mate 👊🏼

[@allenc6277]

And Nuclear Blaze is a nice short and sweet experience.

[@thepolygondon9198]

@allenc6277 nice one, adding that to the seek pile too!

[@PrincessNine]

Resonance of fate has a physical copy on ps4 but its asia region exclusive and it goes by its Japanese name End of Eternity. You can import copies through play asia. Its fully in English.

[@thepolygondon9198]

Nice one! I had no idea about that physical release 👍🏼

[@Ji99i3]

Dude what's the background music used when you showed off blur? Awesome list!

[@thepolygondon9198]

Nice one bro. It’s a track called Vampire by Emmit Fenn 👍🏼

[@Ji99i3]

@@thepolygondon9198 appreciate that! Looking forward to next game list

[@ThanhTruong-en2dr]

can i ask are you playing on original hardware ?? cuz i don't remembering the ps3 looking that good ?? if you are, can you tell me if you are using any scalers or anything else to get the picture that nice cheers

[@thepolygondon9198]

Yeah man, all original hardware but I’m also using a Marseille mClassic upscaler too. Highly recommend if you’re playing on 6th and 7th gen consoles. Makes PS2 and GameCube games look loads better on modern TVs 👌🏼

[@zikolink5389]

Blur on ps3 still online.

[@awesomeguy7652]

What’s the game at 0.24

[@georgewatts6790]

Can you do some old persona games for ps2?

[@thepolygondon9198]

Yeah man, the PS2 is something I’ve been wanting to cover for a while 👍🏼

[@AllzaoMaximus]

Resonance is really not an accessible game. Not sure who decided to make it so incredibly complicated. It really hurt the sales since it's a fenomenal game if you can get through it. Avatar was way better than it had any right to be and was sadly kinda overlooked for being a movie game.

[@thepolygondon9198]

Agree on all points made 👍🏼

[@wakeupzzz9110]

Black site is a huge disappointment, could have been a much better game

[@bentbooster012]

Black site no trophies no bueno

[@CasepbX]

Movie games are always rubbish lol
