Dark Souls II won best PS3 game
We’re well into the new year, but not everyone’s put 2014 squarely in their rearviewmirror. PlayStation Blog just finished tallying the votes to determine which games Sony fans were most fond of last year. All PlayStation platforms were considered, and the polls asked players to look both backward and forward.
Destiny took home the biggest prize as Best PS4 Game, beating out Dragon Age: Inquisition, inFamous: Second Son, and Far Cry 4 in that order. It’s not a PlayStation exclusive, but Sony certainly secured a marketing edge over Xbox on one of the year’s most anticipated titles, essentially ensuring that the install base would be greater.
With regard to legacy consoles, Destiny popped up yet again, but couldn’t overtake the beloved Dark Souls II for Best PS3 Game. South Park: The Stick of Truth and Far Cry 4 finished second and fourth respectively, with Bungie’s moon shooter placing third.
As for the rest of the categories, Child of Light won Best PS Vita Game, inFamous: Last Light was elected best digital release, BioShock Infinite got the nod as Best PS Plus Game, Uncharted 4: A Thief’s End is the Most Anticipated Game (surprisingly, Bloodborne wasn’t in the top four), and Naughty Dog was named the Studio of the Year despite not releasing a new game during the calendar year. Maybe fans are paying forward that last award and assuming that Uncharted 4 is going to be really, really great.
