The 20 PlayStation 3 Exclusives of 2013

IGN - The PS4’s on the horizon, but the PS3’s still trucking.

When I was in New York City attending the PlayStation 4 reveal, I started to think a lot, ironically, about PlayStation 3. Sitting with well-known Sony executive Shuhei Yoshida and picking his brain about PS4, it became clear that the new console was a separate ecosystem. PS3 games – both digital and retail – won’t work on PS4, and it seemed like Sony may be slowly closing the book on PlayStation 3.

But that doesn’t mean that 2013 hasn’t been and won’t continue to be a great year for PlayStation 3 exclusives. Delving into the depths of IGN’s games database, I found a lot more of them than I expected. Sure, I’ve heard of all of these games and even previewed and otherwise written about others, but I didn’t quite do the math in my head until I saw it all before me: PS3 gamers have a lot to look forward to in 2013. Some of these games have already come out; most others are still on the horizon.

gow, last of us n gta 5 will keep me busy until the realase of the Black Beast (PS4)

KaBaW4075d ago

What if the PS4 isn't black?! :o

Y_51504076d ago

GT6 is on that list, it's not confirmed yet...

SolidStoner4076d ago

every GT fan knows that they are working on GT6.. the real question is when it will be released, as this article says "PS3 Exclusives of 2013"... I doubt GT6 will come out this year.. and I doubt only on PS3!...

despair4076d ago

It probably will come out this year, it makes sense and I agree that it will be for both PS3 and PS4, hopefully there is a Vita version as well.

DivineAssault 4076d ago

& there u have it folks.. In the year ending up to the PS4, PS3 still releases MANY great exclusives that are unrivaled by ANY of the competition... Sorry xbox & wii u, PS3 b*tch slapped both of u & hasnt even begun its PS4 onslaught

Why o why4076d ago

Im not going as far as saying anybody slapped anybody but I heard too many people giving ms a pass because the gen was ending meaning they weren't expecting much of an effort in terms of 1st party games and in different articles those same people argue that ms have just as many functioning studios as sony and Nintendo. ...We shouldn't be making any excuses for these guys. They serve us. Demand more

DivineAssault 4076d ago

Theres no excuses for em only releasing Gears of War this year.. Sony got way more games & still announced their system so MS couldve made more effort to release some new stuff before 720

Why o why4075d ago (Edited 4075d ago )

they feel they dont need to because their customers make the excuses for them. It used to be about exclusives which were, in their rawest form, more games more choice more variety for gamers to choose from. Its sad when we make excuses for multi million/billion dollar corporations be it sony ms or nintendo. weak

chrisgay4076d ago

Fair play PSTriple! I'm keen to grab one after the next price cut, if only for Ni no Kuni...

sway_z4076d ago

...this is so cool. The PS3 has so much momentum so late in its cycle that I can even wait a whole year after Ps4 launches and still feel my hardware is relevant.

How many 'other console manufacturers can you say that about?

...Not many

Games That Were Bad on Release, But Are Now Great

BLG writes, "Some of the most popular games have had a rough start, with some of them being downright unplayable.

Despite that, developers have managed to turn it around for them and make their game worth playing. Here are some games that had a rough start but were pretty great."

Good list..hoped to see Street Fighter 5 there..and it is.

Vits16h ago(Edited 16h ago)

Sea of Thieves... I'm not disagreeing that the game has improved in terms of content. But I feel that the most significant change between now and its release is actually the public perception. Nowadays, most people are aware that the game is a multiplayer PvP-focused experience first and foremost, and not "Black Flag made by Rare". Consequently, people dismissing the whole experience because the single-player aspect is lacking or the story is plain are much less common.

darthv7214h ago

Several years ago, i submitted an idea to Rare that would change up the mechanics of battling opponents in the game. whereby if you died in battle, you turned into a skeleton warrior and had to fight your way back to the land of the living. It was an interesting twist on respawning and would allow the player to experience both sides of a battle.

I keep hoping to see something like that get added to the game.

They consider FO 76 & ME Andromeda to be great now 🤭

anast13h ago

Every game in the last 2 decades...

INMATEofARKHAM10h ago

It's sad that this quick retort is more often than not true... The industry's acceptance of release and patch has gone too far.

They aren't going to give more. We are talking about a company that has rereleased an 13 year old game at least 5 times.

Doesn't seem to be that bad of a month. Got a bit of something for everyone.

Please do not support braid anniversary edition. Don't support Phil phish, he's a very despicable person, a a cry baby.

One example

https://youtu.be/yKUGwlFJAH...

Tacoboto2d ago

Wrong developer. Phil Phish was the developer behind Fez.

Jonathan Blow was behind Braid. If you're gonna cancel culture, don't take down the wrong indie...

CrimsonWing692d ago

Man, I don’t know why, but it also irks me when people try to tell others what to do. Fez was an awesome game, I couldn’t care less if the dev was a douche.

This is just extra cringe since the person actually doesn’t know what they’re talking about 🤦‍♂️

remixx1161d 17h ago

Welcome to the internet crimson

shinoff21831d 10h ago (Edited 1d 10h ago )

I wasn't cancel culturing shit. Phil phish is a complete douche. Did you bother to watch the video? Probably not.

I was wrong but call me cancel culture is just plain dumb also

Also crimson.

As you I'm human and we make mistakes. That was a mistake I mixed the games up. Shit happens. So go cringe yourself

Honest mistake, if you can watch that video and support the guy. Then I guess your in the same camp

Tacoboto1d 9h ago

You were wrong and that's that. Don't be so angry.

And yeah, that is a case example of cancel culture. It was a dozen years ago, he's apologized since, had Japanese developers rationalize with his remark, barely has done anything in the industry since Fez, and yet here you are, not even remembering the one game he made...
