Gamer's Corner writes; "Eventually, Sony's Playstation Network will resume. If we're lucky we'll see that day sometime in the next few weeks. It's already old news that Sony will be offering it's loyal customers a free selection of two games from a pool of five. To date, Sony have not announced what those games will be. Clearly they'll be existing downloadable titles, we think they'll come from a mixture of genres and price points. To keep everyone happy we're expecting a full priced retail game, a mid priced pairing and a couple of golden oldies that satisfy the 'cheap and cheerful' moniker. We're not expecting any minis in the bunch, that would just be an insult after all of these weeks."
From the cosmos to crash-landing back on good old planet Earth, come read through the best sci-fi-nastically games on the PS3
Starhawk over Warhawk?...... Dude, NO ONE should listen to you.
Odd choices for "best" more like you settled as these being the "best" that available to you at the time, cause a lot of these blow or were average to poor performers that ended up in bargain bin.
Missing too many great sci-fi titles here. The Void, The Resistance Series, Killzone 2 and 3, Enslaved, man.. there were so many, this is redicu-list.
I agree that Starhawk shouldn't be above Warhawk, however I must say that Starhawk multiplayer was incredible for its time! Many people wrote it off bc the single player was quite terrible, bc it was basically 1 huge tutorial for the multiplayer. But I can tell you never spent any significant amount of time in MP. It was doing incredibly tense base building w air, foot and land vehicle (and mech!) combat long before Fortnite was ever a thing.
I bet it would have been much better received if it had just ditched the story mode all together. So many people like yourself completely wrote it off based on reviews by reviewers that let the criticism of single player weigh heavily on their scores. I bet you didn't even play it.
There's also the less acclaimed 'assault on dark Athena'
( also, not saying this to you specifically but there's both resistance and killzone games on the list, it's amazing how even something so simple and innocent as a game list can be turned into misinformed vitriol here lol )
Glad to see Resonance of Fate. Enslaved was pretty good too. I’m sure there are others nobody has listed but I’m too tired to try and think of anything
Final Fantasy 7 has come back under the spotlight thanks to the release of Final Fantasy VII Rebirth, but is it worth replaying the original?
Got to Zacks part in 7 Rebirth. Said f it. Finishing my game in 7 og. Just got to part 2 yesterday. I also got Crisis Core... So it'll be a while before I'm back to Rebirth. I just keep thinking about it too smh, want to get back to playing it. Not till I know Zacks story though. I beat 7 og sooooooo long ago, it's crazy going through it again and remembering things.
Got to Zacks part in Rebirth?
You mean you started the game and turned it off?
The game starts with Zack...
... Really 🤓 lol. His second part, I've played for 80hrs lmao. <---- PS5 Run time, probably not all game time. You guys know how it goes.
Did you not ever play the OG FF7? After you recruit Vincent, later in the game, disc 3, return to that basement and look at the pod, there's a whole Zack story that'll trigger as a memory.... it's well hidden in the game and a lot of things regarding Zack are cleared up. FF7 Crisis Core is basically an extend feature of that hidden flashback... It took me years to discover it back then lol

80 hours in Rebirth by doing everything, and you should've reached Zacks story about 5 times 🤣
Ye I kno that's y I said not all gameplay time. But also I am very anal when it comes to exploring.
Not to mention fighting Titan at his full strength. Hours spent trying still haven't succeeded. Found all 3 ruins but I'ma masochist when it comes to games.
Very much so. Graphically it's dated but the story and the gameplay haven't aged a day. It's still one of my all time favourite RPGs and for me is better than Remake in some ways.
It always takes me back to Christmas 1997, I got it as a gift and I was blown away when I played it. I couldn't believe games could look that good. The combination of pre rendered backgrounds and FMV really made it stand out. It definitely still has a certain charm that modern games can't replicate.
I can't imagine people will still be talking about Remake and Rebirth in 27 years.
Fully agreed. To me the atmosphere, pacing, gameplay and music are all better than in the remake.
Remake is so amazing, pure FFVII Love, play it on PS5 please! aww the graphics the battles, the music... a dream come true.
Love single player RPGs? Here at HardcoreDroid we've complied a list of the top ten offline Android RPGs as of 2020.
I highly doubt it will be anything already released on PS+...
just sayin
Will Starhawk be free?
How about they give everyone Infamous just in time for Infamous 2 to be released. Infamous is $30 on PSN store.
To be honest I think it would be quite a good strategic move for Sony to have a couple of free games that are updated every now and then, and have tournaments and HOME integration.
And I don't mean because of the PSN thing.... I mean as a selling point in general, a community builder, and a bridge to HOME.
Like for example.... Warhawk and Wipeout, imagine every one on PSN having access to them, and having a decent Clan system and Tournament structure in place...
And the various other things you could build around that to help forge more of an online community that had some sort of focal point around an area in HOME (but that wasn't necessary).
Obviously it would have to be set up in such a way that it wasn't going to detract from game sales as that would be counter-productive... but something that was alot of fun, brought people together in some sense, and that people could dip in and out of when they felt like it.
A game such as Little Big Planet has all the ingredients for something like that too...
Infamous is a safe bet, why else would Best Buy sell it for only $10 now anyways.
