Top 5 PS3 exclusive games

One area where Sony manage to consistently trump Microsoft in this generation of the great console war is exclusives. Coming up with the top 5 was a bit of a stretch, and there are plenty of other PS3-only games worth your time aside from this lot. Anyway, on with the list!

there is wayyyy to many maybe top 15

Merrill4094d ago

Demon's Souls is my #1, by far.

HammadTheBeast4094d ago

It all depends on the genre you prefer. Playstation exclusives cover almost every single genre out there. Personally, GT5 was my favorite.

indubitably4093d ago

no way, Sony's best franchises are GT, Uncharted, Ratchet and Clank, and Metal Gear. I can see someone being really into Demon's Souls I guess but the rest of the franchises are weak in comparison to other games in their genre.

theBAWSE4093d ago

in all seriousness it needs a top FIFTEEN list

journey motorstorm and starhawk need to be in there somewhere

plaZeHD4093d ago

@indubitably
Really!!!?
What about God of War, Heavy Rain, Little Big Planet, Kill-Zone[2], Journey, MLB The Show?

aCasualGamer4093d ago (Edited 4093d ago )

This top 15 list is based on the games with the greatest WOW moments and the most fun i had with them over the longest period:

1. Heavy Rain (The only time a game made me emotional)
2. God of War 3 (Epic got a new definition)
3. Uncharted 2 (Visuals got a new definition)
4. Killzone 2 (Best multiplayer this gen)
5. Resistance 1 (2nd best multiplayer)

7. Killzone 3

2. Demon's Souls
3. Uncharted 2
4. Heavy Rain
5. God of War 3

The Last of Us and Beyond: Two Souls will be in the list later :)

Merrill4094d ago

I played and finished Heavy Rain, but I find the game extremely over rated. It had great atmosphere, but the writing was atrocious. So many holes in the story, terrible controls, stiff animations.

Why the does the killer have internal dialog about trying to find the killer? It makes no sense at all. Developers really need to start hiring actual writers for games, I expect better.

I would prefer a minimalist story, aka Demon's Souls to a overly melodramatic, hole filled story that is Heavy Rain. Let us hope his next game has better writing and execution to it.

jammy_704094d ago

Mgs4 was awesome but just not enough gameplay to many cutscenes. Uncharted 2 has to be the best, killzone 2 up there to.

3-4-54094d ago

They all have a dark look to them...

Sony needs to use the other 5 million colors in the human visible spectrum.

Donnieboi4094d ago

@ merrill: okay so u prefer a different type of storytelling, but games like Heavy Rain are heavily story based. So if you dont like that, then that's your problem. It was meant to be dramatic. After all, it was trying to blur the line between movies and games

Philoctetes4094d ago

@ 3-4-5

Yeah, I really get sick how the Uncharted series is nothing but greys and browns.

Merrill4094d ago (Edited 4094d ago )

@Donnieboi

My point is that they didn't do a very good job at it. I love a good story, but I would prefer they do a coherent job of it. I have nothing against a story based game, but make sure you at least check your story for obvious holes and questions left unanswered. They need better writers.

Other than the internal dialog of the killer looking for the killer, why does Madison act shocked when she is told who the killer is? She never met or heard of him? Why the hell did Ethan keep having black outs? No explanation at all, moments like these took me out of the experience.

If you didn't notice any of the story problems, then that's not my fault. Look them up, it's pretty silly.

I did enjoy the game, but it's no top 5, or even a top 10.

SolidStoner4094d ago

Metal Gear
Gran Turismo
Uncharted
Killzone
Little big Planet

from any direction..

DOMination-4094d ago

The typewriter bit was terrible. Really crap writing lol. Still loved it though.

N4Flamers4093d ago

@Merrill

I loved heavy rain for its mood an atmosphere but I agree with you 100%. The story in a story driven game should be the main focus but most of that game had weak to incoherent writing.

The blackouts that Ethan kept having were explained though and here's the answer. When Jason was killed the killer was at the scene and him and Ethan developed a psychic link. Every time a child was killed Ethan would have a blackout or hallucinations. This part of the game was not finished and scrapped from the final product, but they left most of it in there to cast suspicion on Ethan. That just tells you how lazy and unorganized quantic dreams was.

Heavy rain spoilers

The other retarded part was in the antique shop where the man is killed with the typewriter and the Shelby looks shocked to discover him dead yet he's the one who killed him and no one else was back there to see his reaction.
How about how ethan escaped a platoon of cops and a helicopter by falling off a small building and carjacking a taxi while the cops just watched him.

I only actually like 5 ps3 exclusives

uncharted 1
uncharted 2
infamous 1
infamous 2
Heavy rain

ChickenOfTheCaveMan4094d ago

Even though I really enjoyed Infamous 1, I played it again after Infamous 2 to get a missing trophy. I couldn't do it, 15 minutes in I gave up because they enhanced so much things in the 2nd one, the 1st one was really crappy to play.

Great games age well and that's really not the case with Infamous 1.

omi25p4094d ago

well i first played infamous 1 two years after it came out and i loved it.

I still play it sometimes

nix4094d ago

Gotta say I didn't see no. 1 coming but it's always nice when a list surprises you.

Although I would add, WHERE IS RATCHET AND CLANK WHY NO ONE LIKE THOSE GAMES!!!!?!??

....seriously

remanutd554094d ago

Ratchet and Clank A Crack in Time ranks among my top 10 favorite ps3 games.

StrongMan4093d ago

Where's God of War 3, Infamous 2, Gran Turismo 5, LittleBigPlanet 2, ........

LOGICWINS4094d ago

Yeah, I can agree with Valkyria Chronicles and Uncharted 2. Everything else no. I would have replaced Demon Souls with Infamous 2.

plaZeHD4094d ago

1, Uncharted 2: Among Thieves and Uncharted 3: Drake's Deception
2, Little Big Planet 1 and 2
3, God Of War 3
4, Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns Of The Patriots
5, KillZone 2
But soon this will change.

abzdine4094d ago (Edited 4094d ago )

before i clicked i thought Valkyria Chronicles! i like this list there is some heavy stuff in it! i'd put Killzone 2 or WipEout HD instead of Demon's Souls imo.

Ranking the Devil May Cry Series

VGChartz's Mark Nielsen: "Upon finally finishing Devil May Cry 5 recently - after it spent several years on my “I’ll play that soon” list - I considered giving it a fittingly-named Late Look article. However, considering that this was indeed the final piece I was missing in the DMC puzzle, I decided to instead take this opportunity to take a look back at the entirety of this genre-defining series and rank the entries. What also made this a particularly tempting notion was that while most high-profile series have developed fairly evenly over time, with a few bumps on the road, the history of Devil May Cry has, at least in my eyes, been an absolute roller coaster, with everything from total disasters to action game gold."

First to last for me...3,4,5,1,2.

VersusDMC1h ago

Me leaving it out should be telling of my thoughts on it. Better than 2 as a DMC game.

Still a good game though.

Friendlygamer2h ago

3,1,4,5 to me, never played 2. 5 gameplay is amazing but level design was really disappointing to me, just a bunch of plain arenas, the story felt like a worse written rehash of the 3rd and the charater models looked weird ( specially the ladies ). Another problem with 5 was that there was not enough content for 3 charaters so I could never really familiarize with any of them

monkey6022h ago(Edited 2h ago)

2.
Dmc.
4.
5.
1.
3.

God DMC2 was an awful game.
And in case this isn't obvious it goes worst to best

Yui_Suzumiya23m ago

1 and DmC. The rest are unimportant.

DarXyde15m ago

Order changes depending on your focus. I tend to focus on gameplay/fun factor, so...

5, 3, 1, 4, 2.

I really didn't like 4 but commend Dante's weapon diversity. The retreading of old ground was pretty unacceptable to me.

But even then... Still more enjoyable than 2 for me

Tales Of Graces Ƒ Retro Review – Holding Out For a Hero

Gary Green said: Namco Bandai heard the call of many fans asking for the PlayStation release of Tales of Graces which was originally released seemingly exclusively for the Wii back in 2009. If you’re acquainted with the Tales series then Graces f won’t be something entirely new to you, yet if you’re a newcomer then you’ll find a plethora of gameplay mechanics and nuances that distinguish this series from other JRPGs. While the game finds itself following the traditional archetype of JRPGs, such as a somewhat clichéd story, Graces has something to offer to both veterans and newcomers alike.
