GTA4
DW6

ridge racer 7 -Maybe
uncharted -Likely
heavenly sword -Highly Unlikely *sold poorly*
GTA4 -Likely
DW6 -Unlikely

To be part of the greatest hits a title has to sell well, if it didn't sell well then it wont, thats how it worked for the ps2, and it seems to be a similar system thus the name "Greatest Hits"

Its a real shame for Heavenly Sword
I thought it was a fantastic game, better than Ninja Gaiden Sigma or Devil May Cry 4.

It got unfairly singled out as a "short" game.

DaMexiRican · 11-12-2008, 09:19 PM

Yeah, it was a short game, but honestly one of the best i've played in the current gen.

Ridge Racer 7. Wouldn't that be already out on greatest hits/platinum already? Its been out for just over 2 years now.

we may see a price cut for heavenly sword, which would be sweet. I haven't picked it up yet, waiting for a price cut.

You could rent it and beat it.
It's short, but sweet.

i was gonna wait out till xmas to get uncharted and heavenly cuz i thought they'd be in the "greatest hits" line-up but i couldnt resist and got it off some members

Aaron · 11-13-2008, 02:48 AM

Ratchet & Clank Future: ToD should be a greatest hit before Christmas.

DeathByAsh'aman · 11-13-2008, 03:27 AM

GTAIV (if they follow their own rules) will 100% NOT be out as a greatest hits before xmas. A title must be out for at lesat 10 months and sell over 500,000 copies. It has sold over 500,000, but it has not been out longer then 10 months.

I'll doubt we see Uncharted as a greatest hits just yet...since the Uncharted/160GB bundle comes out this month. Looks like a better deal when it's still worth $60. Just my thought.

oh wow, i thought it was 1,000,000 copies sold...
good to know.

I was really hopefully for a few more titles to be labeled GH before Dec, but so far I haven't heard any announcements.

Some titles just naturally get discounted though...

Taken from frys site.

Turok $29.99
Blazing Angels 2 $39.99
Soldier of fortune $29.99
Devil May Cry 4 $39.99
Blacksite Area 51 $19.99
UT3 $9.99 *OMFG*
Stanglehold $19.99
Army of Two $29.99
Vikings Battle for Ascard $19.99
Clive Barkers Jericho $19.99
Fear $29.99
Lair $29.99
Splinter Cell Double Agent $29.99
Conflict Denied Ops $29.99
Orange Box $29.99
Medal of Honor Airborne $29.99

So while maybe theres not alot of GH titles there are plenty of titles at that price level or lower.

ngkf7 · 11-13-2008, 01:55 PM

I don't see Uncharted dropping for a while. It sells moderately well and is a great way for players to see what the PS3 can do. It has high production value and is worth every penny. I wouldn't expect to see a drop on that price for a while, especially with the 160gb bundle. Maybe when Uncharted 2 is announced or something.

sega_smasher · 11-13-2008, 05:21 PM

when games come bundled with consoles they generally see a price drop (in used sales) because the market gets flooded with them. check out your local gamestop after a few weeks of the 160 being out and you'll see what i mean. it'll be around the 30 dollar price mark.

Unreal 3 is the most underrated game of this generation.

heavenly sword sold like 750,000 world wide when ps3 had an install base of 4million. I would say it did not sell poorly and deserves to be a greatest hit.

also just checked vgcharts and heavenly sword sold over 1 million

VGChartz is not credible, at all. With that said HS probably did sell a million copies or more by now.

Shin-Ra · 11-13-2008, 05:49 PM

Ninja Theory themselves have confirmed that Heavenly Sword is over 1M copies worldwide.
