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)

KaBaW4066d ago

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

Y_51504066d ago

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

SolidStoner4066d 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!...

despair4066d 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 4066d 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 why4066d 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 4066d 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 why4066d ago (Edited 4066d 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

chrisgay4066d ago

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

sway_z4066d 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

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

Furesis10h 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.

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.

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 6h 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 6h ago

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

VenomUK1d 3h ago

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

I would’ve focused on the creative.

anast9h 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.

Armaggedon21h ago

Not all games “look” current.

anast9h ago

Their games always look like the gen before it.

gold_drake2h ago

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

anast1h 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.
