Most Gorgeous PS3 exclusives that everyone should play

Gamersmint: We all know what the PS3 is capable of, but the following games show what the hardware can really do. Sony didn’t take a 250$ loss on the initial PS3s for nothing you know.It wasn’t till mid-2008 that the PS3s potential was shown to the world.

Let’s indulge in some visual bliss below -

the games PS3 rocks

VersusEM4902d ago (Edited 4902d ago )

Don't become a fanboy, we don't need anymore, Real Gamers play all games, no matter what platform, just as long as it is fun.

kissmeimgreek4902d ago

according to your disagrees, apparently your only a real gamer if you play ps3

SnuggleBandit4902d ago

What you cant like the ps3 without being a fanboy? Geez...

Chubear4902d ago (Edited 4902d ago )

yeah funny how you didn't see people like you back in 2006-2008 when the PS3 and it's games were being crucified. Funny how you didn't see all this higher than thou attitude back theen. Instead it was vile insults and bannings if you dare dream of commenting even on PS3 forums about exclusives you enjoy

Now the 360 is getting pistol whipped with exclusives and "teh sales" and all of a sudden everyone's a "real gamer" and crying all the time about PS3 gamers that enjoy PS3 exclusives more often than multiplat games.

I remember very well and will never forget the crap the PS3 fanbase went through for years and are still somewhat going through.

If it were up to these "real gamers" we have had no StarHawk, no Motorstorm2&3, no UC2, no KZ2&3, no MGS4, no infamous, no WKC2, no Demon Souls, no MAG, no Heavy Rain. You all killed sequels for new IPs like Heavenly Sword and Lair for gamers that loved these games but now you vomit your "be a gamer not a hater" stupid comments all over the place now. Gee, how convenient.

So if you're going to cry that people would rather buy and support 1st party exclusives over multiplats then you're just going to have to keep on crying then.

PS3 games are indeed visual and gameplay bliss. Enjoy and STFU already about not enough foliage in GT5 or too much exploding barrels in KZ2 or, Uncharted being "just Dude Raider lolz" or too much variety in R&C or all the other insane BS PS3 exclusives have to fight through on a routine basis.

cliffbo4902d ago (Edited 4902d ago )

REAL GAMERS buy the best hardware for the best games and that is the PS3 end of story you, may think this is being a fanboy but it is not, show me a blu ray player in the competions consoles or 3D games or 3D movies or even a hard drive built in as standard in ALL consoles.

let the disagrees begin oh and btw this is my opinion

ps if you agree with me bubble me please :D

Fan Tastic4902d ago

Uncharted: Drake's Fortune came out well before Metal gear 4.

This list fails.

Liquid_Ocelot4902d ago

REAL gamers don't need to be told what games to play, nor on what console to play them.

Sigh..

insomnium24902d ago

Holy s*** your comment rocks!

TheLastGuardian4902d ago (Edited 4902d ago )

So your saying I'm a fanboy and not a real gamer because I don't have a Wii or 360? GTFO. In all seriousness, I don't need a Wii or 360 because I have enough trouble trying to keep up with all the games on PS3.

VersusEM4902d ago (Edited 4902d ago )

ha, yeah you guys are taking it wayyyyyyy too serious ally, first off, as long as your having fun it doesn't matter if it is Killzone or Halo. Second off, I do have a PS3 and is my favorite console this gen. But also I have a X-Box 360, maybe not as much games but at least I have fun, I mean that is the main reason why I play video games, FOR FUN!!!!!!!!

MazzingerZ4902d ago (Edited 4902d ago )

Haha, good one

yeah, first it was it didn't have any games and about graphics...then sales...then in-game XMB, then HOME avatars, then game installs that didn't have any benefit,

(not saying you VersusEM were one of them)

Today? I guess is all about party chat...or being a real gamer LOL

PS3 owners have been real gamers from the beginning, they got a PS store that was not more than a browser, they found their way into online gaming when every game had different ways to take you online and message each other and only within the game

Those are real gamers, only an idiot would buy the most expensive console (600 EURO) to play Harry Potter and have "fun", we purchased a PS3 because we are REAL gamers and want to play the best games out there.

PS3 rocks, 360 rocks, PC rocks.
For me personally though PS3 rocks like Slayer, 360 rocks like My Chemical Romance (why Kaz?? why??). Hail Gaming and long may he reign!

Steve_04901d ago

both slayer and my chemical romance suck...
Why didn't the great Yamauchi stick with Feeder for GT5? Comfort in Sound would have been perfect... Or Just a Day, again!
Although not for GT5, some real rock bands? try Led Zeppelin, The Who, AC/DC, The Eagles, Lynyrd Skynyrd, Cream, Deep Purple, Iron Maiden, Foo Fighters, The Jimi Hendrix Experience, Guns n' Roses (with slash), Metallica, Pink Floyd, Nickelback, Van Halen, Oasis, RHCP, Queen... There's so many more that are so much better than slayer...

Arnagrim4901d ago

Ps3 rocks like Dream Theater while the 360 rocks like Bullet for My Valentine. One is for those who appreciate technicality (Killzone 2, Gran Turismo 5) and experimental projects (Heavy Rain, Flower, etc) while the other is for drones who eat up whatever everyone else is currently doing (Rotations between Halo, Call of Duty and Madden).

A Cupcake for Gabe4901d ago

PS3 rocks like John Pertucci, Steve Vai, Buckethead, & Frank Zappa fused into one body.

PS360fanboy4902d ago

Drop MGS4 and Resistance 2 and you have an awesome list!

ELite_Ghost4902d ago

WTF drop MGS4? Are you insane?

trevonn954902d ago

that realy wasent the best thing to say

Panthers4902d ago

Its his opinion, but I definitely disagree with it lol.

King-Leonidas4902d ago

lol i hope that you´re stoned out of your mind. Why would you drop MGS4? which was technically the best looking game out in 2008 along side with Killzone 2.

cranium4902d ago

Killzone 2 came out February of 2009, not 2008. But yeah I agree that MGS4 deserves it's spot on the list especially considering how it came out before all the other games on that list.

Steve_04901d ago

Dude, not cool. Bubble down man! :D
Don't you dare show hate to THE MAN

... by that I of course mean David... Hayter. :D

bananlol4901d ago

Drop resistance 2 eh? And here i was glad that one "graphics" list finally mentioned it. When i first bought it i thought the grapics were simply marvelous. Might be a little bias though, since it was the first game i ever played on a hd projector that didnt have lousy contrast ratio.

MazzingerZ4902d ago

Had a X360 since launch and got my PS3 some months after it released 2007 (PAL), Folklore and Heavenly Sword were the first games I played and they were nothing like what I had played on the X360 so far.

Folklore had loading times problems but otherwise an awesome game. Heavenly Sword was a fantastic action and cinematic experience, it showed what PS3 could do, graphically was outstanding, still today blows away many games.

People said HS was short...well for me was a game with no backtracking, constant action, variation all the time, great story and voice acting, the game is a GEM.

Then came Uncharted and R&C both games showed the PS3 muscles and what it was coming.

PS3 doesn't give me a break, releases quality games all the time.

BillOreilly4901d ago (Edited 4901d ago )

I feel the same for my 360. There are too many games lol.
http://scrawlfx.com/ps3-360...
Full game list. 360 wins. Call me when the ps3 has a jrpg better than lost odyssey/vesperia. Wrpgs better than Fable 2/3, mass effect, the dragon knight saga, risen, fps better than halos, tps better than gears. We have the best games released in EVERY catagory this gen. We have more games period. Better online, better multiplats. Call me when ps3 does indy games as well as xbl games, when ps3 does cross game chat, party chat. DIDNT THINK SO. You have no argument. But teh blu....but teh cell...uncharte.....nope.

CrIpPeN4901d ago

multiplatform sucks though(some).

Not even Lara Croft game can hold up the framerate.

GTmonster4902d ago

360 is still best for multiplatform games

FlatulentGhost4902d ago

How much it must suck to be stuck with a console with graphics hardware so poorly designed and weak that all you have to brag about is making the inane claim about 'teh multiplats'...

Hoje03084902d ago

Ha! Seriously though, he does realize that we get to play those too, right?

Panthers4902d ago

Yea I mean they may be better, but most of the time it is not even a big enough deal to bring up. Now with COD BO, yea they can brag about that I guess, but I am still thoroughly enjoying it on the PS3

CleanUP-CharliE4902d ago

@monster

Facepalm

Awww.. poor 360 gamers.

ksense4902d ago

clutching at straws i see...
first it was expensive....
then it was no games....
then it was teh sales!!!!
now we have better multiplatform titles,...lmao

Atleast we have the option to play the game unlike you guys that cannot get any of the games from sony and with bungie and soon epic gone i would be pretty scared...

GrandTheftZamboni4902d ago

Even those comparisons for multiplats that favour 360 would look different if they would lower the brightness and increase the contrast on PS3 version. Even the old TVs have that.

Redlogic4902d ago

Way to be sour. "Whatever dude we get to play the best mulitplats"...maybe so, but they are only better by a small "graphical" margin. Otherwise, ps3 and xbox360 games are the same by most standards. you fail.

divideby04902d ago

^ I call that a grasping cling comment, if you have to hang your hat on non exclusives for any console.

insomnium24902d ago (Edited 4902d ago )

That's the biggest LOL of the day my good sir.

im-12-years-old4902d ago

The pc is actually best for multi-platforms

nnotdead4902d ago

exactly what i was going to say.

King-Leonidas4902d ago

@panther

Its nothing to do with the ps3. It was Treyarch´s f**k up.

N4Great4902d ago

When stupid fanboyz blogs, or a little more respectable sites, are doing "screenshots comparisons", the worst fanboyz only remember "who win", even if it's not the truth, or (most of the time) when differences are ridiculous (same game most of the time)

visualb4901d ago

yet I've seen far less trolling comments (like mine) get flagged within 2 hours

explain that to me please...anyone?

is N4G really this biased? REALLY?!

@ GT = yeah, I rather have a console with the best exclusive that plays multiplatform titles fine, than the opposite =)

it will only get better for the ps3 in 2011, ff versus, last guardian, r3, can we really ask for more but wait there's MORE. It's the best time to get a ps3. Also, GT 5:D

cyborg4902d ago

will surpass everything released this gen as far as visuals are concerned.

nuff said

NewsForMe4902d ago (Edited 4902d ago )

On a console sure, though it still isn't even 1080P. If you're really that into graphics graphics do yourself a favor and get a decent PC. If not just play games and stop gawking at visuals, the least important part of a game by far.

rjdofu4902d ago

With the potential of the ps3, people demanding games with great graphic are normal.
PC is graphically strongest, true. But we're not only into visual; story and gameplay is important too, and all of that are top notch for many exclusive ps3 titles i.e: UC 2 and MSG4.
Ps: and pls sir check your fact right, GT5 will run 60fps in 1080p.

Panthers4902d ago

Not to mention my most anticipated title.... SOCOM 4!!!!!!!

nnotdead4902d ago

not my most but do want.

ELite_Ghost4902d ago

I hope it will have some socom 2 maps like fish hook for example

prongs1234902d ago

visually on PS3 is God of War 3, the scale and the intro, it was epic with a capital E!

xer04901d ago

I've completed this game 4 times... visually, there is nothing better.

Rageanitus4902d ago

why is resistance 2 on the list.... its really not that good graphics.. Even halo reach beats it in the graphics department.

This is my list

Uncharted 2 > God of war 3> Kz2 >heavy rain.

Hoje03084902d ago

Mine:
GOW3, UC2, KZ2.
GT5, KZ3, inFamous 2 and the inevitable UC3 will all be taking their rightful places on that list soon enough. With all the great exclusives and multiplats coming out next year, 2011 is going to be Year of the Gamer.

CleanUP-CharliE4902d ago

Although the graphics looked cartoony, i liked them.

Resistance 3 should improve a lot in the graphics department.

nnotdead4902d ago

the graphics in R2 where up and down. when u first walk out to see the invasion on San Fran it looks amazing. then other part looked very bland. it was kind of weird.

arragionthegreat4902d ago

dude resistance 2 is the best console shooter for me,..So I don't know,..

Please do not put Destiny’s monetization into Sony’s first party games. The monetization is what’s driving players away from Destiny.

just_looken11d ago

The new temp boss is the sony cfo bean counter so i can see this being a thing get every penny.

Cacabunga11d ago

PlayStation officially losing it.. fans will never support gaas games

just_looken11d ago

@car

The new boss did a interview in japan he wants to tap into the mobile market like nintendio so he give 0 fucks about gamers/fans

https://www.pushsquare.com/...

Redemption-6411d ago

@Cacabunga
You only speak for you and those who think like you, but most fans will support what they want. Playstation and PC fans are literally supporting Helldivers 2 and that is a gaas. Maybe you wouldn't, but many more would if they like it.

Huey_My_D_Long11d ago

@Redemption-64
Look, Im not making any judgement calls about this guy, but I will say that Helldivers 2 GaaS model is unique to Helldivers, and legit the only other game I can think of thats similiar was the Avengers game except HD2 pass is still better.
The fact that you can earn in game currency in a way that doesnt make you feel like you have to grind forever, as well you being able work on that pass that you bought...on your own time without a time limit...that right there is fucking huge to me, and I can't name any game other than avengers that avoided trapping players with FOMO logic...I think GaaS on HD2 shouldn't be compared to the rest of the industry...it should be copied.

Einhander197211d ago

Cacabunga

Helldivers 2...

Redemption-64

In Europe it's a 60 40 split favoring PC.
In the US its a 60 40 split favoring PS5.

So PlayStation owners supported the game just fine, it's not getting carried by PC or anything like that.

FinalFantasyFanatic11d ago

@just_looken,
I'm perfectly fine with the way Nintendo entered the mobile market, I never touched their mobile games, meanwhile, the console/handheld stayed the way it is. As for being a bean counter, he's probably going to reel in these massive budgets that Sony's studios have had lately, I haven't played Spiderman 2, but I cannot see how they almost tripled the budget for that game.

@Redemption-64,
That's an exception to the rule, I'm expecting a lot of these GAAS games from Sony to fail, to be fair, they only need a few to succeed, but I would have preferred that they put more of their resources into other types of games.

DivineHand12511d ago

True their monetization is driving players away and at the same time, their decision to chop out content and convoluted systems is keeping new players away from the game.

Joe91311d ago

I don't think that will happen based on how things worked out at Naughty Dog now that we know what we do, seems they had the option to fully commit to live service games or stay making single player experences so they gave up on their live service game. We are not sure how things came about with Bend making a live service game but I hope that was not a forced situation. Sony doesnt seem like they are forcing studios to switch up but we will see, Sony's bread and butter is single player games it is how they dominated the console market.

Obscure_Observer11d ago

Yeah, I though Sony learned something from all their failures in the LS segment under Bungie´s disastrous leadership and supervision which led to games been cancelled, studios closed and all the people laid off.

Looks like Bungie still plays a major role in Sony´s LS initiative and Sony is not backtracking on their GaaS plans.

S2Killinit11d ago (Edited 11d ago )

Are we forgetting that Destiny is also a highly successful franchise? I feel like that definitely deserves mention here.

Besides, there is no reason why a person cant learn from past experiences.

Joe91310d ago

I agree, people act as if Destiny flopped when it came out lol it took 9 to 10 years for the numbers to fall yet people are still playing it add the success of Helldivers 2 no wonder Sony is going forward down this path.

S2Killinit10d ago

Personally, I see no problem with Sony also having service games as long as they make good ones, and more importantly they deliver the AAA story driven games that they are known for. So yeah, I agree 100% with you.

Christopher11d ago

I mean, this person made some pretty bad decisions at Bungie. I hope they've learned from them because I definitely don't see those type of ideas as good for PlaySation in general.

CrimsonWing6910d ago (Edited 10d ago )

Honestly, what’s to learn from? How to make people happily continuously dump money into a single game over its life-time? Buy season passes continuously for several years with a smile on our faces?

GaaS is a design decision that is everything wrong with this industry. The fact that Helldivers 2 did so well and people defend the monetization because it was $40 and is a fun game, scares the sh*t out of me to see that the door is open and all shift will probably be to replicate that in future games. We already know the ROI for traditional game dev cost isn’t doing it for them.

I thought with Jimbo leaving we’d see a change for the better… I’m not so sure now.

S2Killinit10d ago

Service games are being offered by everyone. Sony cannot afford to only create single player AAA games. No one can. They already said they will be doing both.

Abnor_Mal11d ago (Edited 11d ago )

Ps5 gamers in 2023 seemed to play more live service types of games, so regardless to how people feel about them, numbers don’t lie and Sony is going where the money is. I mean look at the excitement around Helldivers2, people are showing that they want live service games.

Christopher11d ago

They play long-time existing live service games like CoD, Fortnite, Apex Legends, Destiny 2, and the like. Mass majority of new live service games are considered failures and aren't moving gamers away from older games.

just_looken11d ago

Yep the huge issue with live service is they need paid players along with a reason to play them.

You forgot mobile market that also taps into that player base as well as the eve online style games there is only a certain amount of krakens/whales blind supporters compared to the amount of live service games we have its not sustainable math wise.

700 restaurants making food for every seat for 1000-3000 eaters just does not work out

Einhander197211d ago (Edited 11d ago )

Christopher

I am not a big live service fan and literally own zero of the games you listed, but that is not true, unless you call games that aren't the top games to be failures.

There are tons of live service games that are profitable.

Games don't have to be the biggest game ever they just need to make more than they cost.

I challenge you to show professionally prepared data that shows that more live service games fail than make enough to keep going.

Because all the data that I have seen shows that live service is less of a gamble than making a big AAA budget game which needs to survive off retail sales.

FinalFantasyFanatic11d ago

I sometimes wonder if we're at saturation point, where it's hard for a new game to join those ranks unless it's particularly exceptional, people only have so much time and money to devote to these types of games.

romulus2311d ago

Correction, they have no issue playing good live service games

shinoff218311d ago

Lol it's not even a quarter of the ps5s sold. Helldivers may have been a hit but let's not say most are enjoying it because truth is most(the real most ) don't care about it.

S2Killinit10d ago (Edited 10d ago )

I play what is fun. If a live service game is good I’ll play it as long as its not a money scheme which Helldivers is not.

And Im a single player gamer.

mastershredder11d ago

How do you kill a franchise that already been killed?
Destiny’s grind, cash-in-on-playbass-cha-Ching, and pop-culture-insertion mainstream-me-too bs totally killed any rep Bungie had. Sony/Bungie, if you are doing this to ward-off players, it’s already working.
