Better late than never. PS3 has a massive backlog of exclusives, and there are still more games on the horizon.

AznGaara3950d ago

MGS4 and a lot of good RPGs if you're into that.

elhebbo163950d ago

I'm sure theres a bigger variety of PS3 exclusives lol.

Kevin ButIer3949d ago

The white GOW limited edition is so cheap now that i'm starting to feel the temptation... my ps3 fatboy needs a rest lol

wastedcells3949d ago (Edited 3949d ago )

TLOU just came out, Beyond, Grand turismo, Rain and Puppeteer are out in a couple months. Still lots of new reasons to buy a PS3 if you haven't yet. Plus the back catalog of exclusives makes it an easy choice.

Inception3949d ago

I still have back catalog that i must play like Siren, Folklore, 3D Dot Game Heroes, or inFamous 2. But then, next month we will got Dragon's Crown, Tales of Xillia, and Killer is Dead. Darn, what a busy year for PS3 owner >.<

piroh3949d ago

3D Dot Game is a great game trust me. i just beat NiNoKuni and TLOU, focusing on NiNoKuni sollosseum, TLOU new game+ and waiting on Tales of Xillia

badz1493949d ago

now is THE time to have a PS3! add PS+ to that and you will have your gaming need served for what...as long as you PS+ subscription allow? not a bad deal...uh oh...don't EVER skip TLoU!

Saints943950d ago

I'm in the same boat but more like "buying a PS+ card" since I actually had it since the first year it came out but didn't use it as my main.

I did the opposite years ago. I bought the new 360 S model fairly cheap (less than 100 dollars), then got a 250gb for around 50 dollars. Yea, you find all kinds of crazy deals at ebay when you least expected. Only managed to build a library of 10 360 games and maybe another 10 for xbox originals. I was very careful because I only bought 2 kind of games on the 360: 1. some exclusive games like Dead Rising and 'J'RPGs and 2. Multiplatform titles that performed better on the 360 (Bayonetta, Dead Rising 2, and Lost Planet Colonies). As you can see, for some gamers like me, we do not find a lot of games on the ps3 that are considered "inferior," so it doesn't really quite affect me. I own most my multiplatform titles on the ps3.

plaZeHD3949d ago

Multiplats(most) only my Xbox 360 250GB slim
Exclusives on my Playstation 3 320GB slim

Lovable3950d ago

I knew it, he bought the PS3 for the Last of US being the main reason. Lmao the game is so good

creatchee3950d ago

I know all about buying a console for one game (at least at first). I got my PS3 specifically for Metal Gear Solid 4. Obviously, that isn't the only game I've bought since then, but it was the major selling point for me, as I already had a 360 at the time.

Same thing happened previous gen - got an original Xbox for Halo 2, despite already having a PS2. I loved the online of LIVE so much that I got the 360 near launch.

Sometimes it only takes one game to get you into owning multiple consoles :)

blanket143949d ago

lol that you got dissagrees the last of us is a game that will forever change the way you fwek about a game it is revolutionary on emotion I love that game In my ratong scale I give it about a 20 out of 10!

InTheLab3950d ago

"I’ve been through three Xbox 360s, having twice used Best Buy’s replacement warranty to replace units that decided they’d had enough of my shit and red ringed. The 360 has been good to me, "

Burned through 3 Xbox 360s but the 360 has been good to you? I just can't wrap my head around that...

mxrider21993949d ago

ya i lols so hard at that i was like you burned through 3 lols shouldnt it have stopped after the first one

The Last Of Us Series Has Remarkable Potential For Spin-Offs

Najam from eXputer writes "It's time fore a new installment in the series, not another pointless remaster."

anast82d ago

They are working on something new. Not to be rude but it is impossibility stupid to think ND next major announcement is going to be a remaster or their next Last of Us entry is going to be another remaster.

AlterRecs79d ago

I think this is in response to them releasing a remaster for the sequel, a game that didn't need a remaster.

Basically a "why did you put out a remaster no one asked for when you have all there options available"

anast79d ago

They remaster is to put out something quick while they are deving new stuff. I don't get how people can be so static.

AlterRecs78d ago

There's no news about a third game being in production, you're just assuming that they're working on something that they aren't

anast78d ago

When they release the news to start the hype-train, you can give me my props then.

DrDoomer82d ago

I want an alternate timeline spin-off, where part 2 never happened.

CrimsonWing6982d ago

They’ve already done Remasters of 1 and 2… what else is there to Remaster?

AlterRecs79d ago

Considering they remastered the first game twice, who knows lol

CrimsonWing6979d ago

That was a Remake. I guess they could do that to 2, but man…. They should wait a couple generations so it can look like a major upgrade.

The Last Of Us Online Devs Celebrate Their Experience With The Canceled Game

The team is sad for losing out on such a great project but celebrates its growth because of spending time on it.

Chocoburger126d ago

All they had to do was make a basic online mode like their previous games. Instead they wanted more money and choose to go live service which makes games worse in my opinion.

What a waste of time and money, what a shame.

seanpitt2382d ago

I can't wait for season 2 so they can kill Joel off in the first 2 episodes!! Then it will be just Abby and Ellies revenge plot!

Something is telling me that this won't happen though because it wouldn't make sense, oh wait

Linzoid126d ago

Not sure why they didn’t just make Factions 2. There was no need to make it a live service.

TLoU Factions was a great addition such a shame they couldn’t be bothered to remaster that for PS5 considering the crazy high price tag of the remaster of a remaster…

anast126d ago

This is something to be celebrated. This studio is smart and they get it, even factions 2 wouldn't've have been worth the time. I am surprised they didn't just remaster the first one though, but actually how popular was Factions?
