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

Merrill4099d ago

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

HammadTheBeast4099d ago

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

indubitably4098d 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.

theBAWSE4098d ago

in all seriousness it needs a top FIFTEEN list

journey motorstorm and starhawk need to be in there somewhere

plaZeHD4098d ago

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

aCasualGamer4098d ago (Edited 4098d 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

1. Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots
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 :)

Merrill4099d 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_704099d ago

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

3-4-54099d ago

They all have a dark look to them...

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

Donnieboi4099d 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

Philoctetes4099d ago

@ 3-4-5

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

Merrill4099d ago (Edited 4099d 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.

SolidStoner4099d ago

Metal Gear
Gran Turismo
Uncharted
Killzone
Little big Planet

from any direction..

DOMination-4099d ago

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

N4Flamers4098d 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

ChickenOfTheCaveMan4099d 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.

omi25p4099d ago

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

I still play it sometimes

Hovis4099d 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

remanutd554099d ago

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

StrongMan4098d ago

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

LOGICWINS4099d ago

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

plaZeHD4099d 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.

abzdine4099d ago (Edited 4099d 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.

I never got around to mass effect - I’m skeptical that it would hold up if I were to try it now

Furesis11h ago

I would say it does. The combat is a bit shit for todays standards but everything else is great.

anast9h ago

It's worth a play through today.

the first one is abit the odd one out but after u finished it, believe it it gets tremendously better and better

El Shaddai: Ascension of the Metatron - Coming Back for a New Generation

Originally launched in 2011, El Shaddai: Ascension of the Metatron is coming to Nintendo Switch, so It's time to look back at the original.

jznrpg1d 6h ago

Still have my ps3 copies. Bought it at launch and another one when I found it cheap and in perfect condition about 10 years ago. I wouldn’t buy it on Switch but if they made a PS5 version I would. I still have one of my PS3 Fats hooked up so good to go either way.

darthv721d 5h ago

Id play it again on the switch. I wished my 360 version was bc but this is still a good way to play.

Fallout 3's Reveal Led To Death Threats And Bethesda's First Security Guard

The artist behind Fallout 4’s Deathclaw reveals just how bad things got back when Bethesda took over the series

anast1d 7h ago

People are stupid I get it. No one should feel unsafe,

But I think they need to talk about why they cut so many corners during the development process and why none of their games ever look current. And why they think all of this is okay while they charge full price.

LucasRuinedChildhood1d 7h ago

As much as Bethesda deserve criticism, that's not really relevant to the reveal of Fallout 3 in 2007.

VenomUK1d 4h ago

The default angle Kotaku always go for is to highlight the worst in gaming.

I would’ve focused on the creative.

anast10h ago

The game went downhill at Fallout 3's release. This is when they started to cut corners.

gold_drake1d 2h ago

there is no "but". the hell lol
you dont send death threats, period.

anast9h ago

Usually, you have good comments but this isn't one of them. It just rides the mob. We can do both condemn the actions and not let them use it for other things.

I can say I received a death threat and everyone needs to shut up. People are not honest and will use horrible things to their advantage.

Armaggedon22h ago

Not all games “look” current.

anast9h ago

Their games always look like the gen before it.

Armaggedon41m ago

Yeah, but thats not the result of laziness, incompetence, or a bad engine. Thats what happens with their type of open world games. Its hard for people to find a point of comparison because no one makes games like Bethesda does.

gold_drake3h ago

mh ok thanks, i still think ur wrong in this mate.

anast2h ago

No problem. I'm not here to convince you. I'm only stating an actuality. What your words do if we look at them like events.
