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

AznGaara4382d ago

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

elhebbo164382d ago

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

Kevin ButIer4382d 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

wastedcells4382d ago (Edited 4382d 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.

Inception4382d 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 >.<

piroh4381d 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

badz1494382d 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!

Saints944382d 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.

jc485734382d ago (Edited 4382d ago )

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.

plaZeHD4382d ago

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

Lovable4382d ago

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

creatchee4382d 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 :)

blanket144382d 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!

InTheLab4382d 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...

mxrider21994382d ago

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

Christopher81d ago (Edited 81d ago )

As expected. Unless it's going to Xbox or Switch 2, we can stop hearing about these older games now? We can move on to just news about new games?

darthv7281d ago

....until the PS6 remake followed by the PS7 reboot

Christopher81d ago

Man, first year of PS6 is going to be 90% remasters. I'm going to hate it and likely hold off until new games actually get released that I can't play on my PS5.

Cacabunga81d ago

Yes I’m waiting for complete remaster…. On ps5

OtterX81d ago

...20 years later, "you haven't heard the last of us yet!" *releases The Last of Us Retro Collection*

cloganart81d ago

@Christopher

Oof, yeah. I don't think I'm picking up the PS6 until "Pro" comes out 😂

Cacabunga80d ago

I haven’t played Tlou1 since PS3 and i have the greatest memory of it

Notellin80d ago

I'm already dreading all the cross generation games and remasters we'll see with the next round of consoles.

LonDonE80d ago

lmao this is getting ridiculous but thing is if people keep buying them.. then why would they stop making them?
Peeps STOP BUYING this game.. that actually hurts me to say this as the last of us is high up on my greatest games of all times.. its one of the few games i played through start to finish 3/4 times back to back as i loved it so much. But sony need to stop, give us a Resistance 3 remaster, i would love and buy that.. such an underated series as was killzone.
Or give us infamous.. so many great series and titles i would gladly buy but they just want to keep giving us last of us.

I am done buying that game.. i would only buy part 2 remaster if they remade it and kept joel alive, or i am not interested. Hate last of us 2s story killing off joel.. the actual game is stunning and incredible, they improved so much in the gameplay department but i hate the story with a passion.

Profchaos81d ago (Edited 81d ago )

We can stop hearing about it when they stop re-releasing them I guess.

I reckon the ps6 version will be 8k 240 and I'll still not care.

I miss new games from nd

Inverno81d ago

And HBO just announced season 3 even tho LoU2 couldn't possibly be so long that it wouldn't be able to fit in 1 season. They're just milking it at this point.

darthv7281d ago

speaking of the HBO series... I felt they should have made part 1 across two seasons, then address part 2 in seasons 3 and 4. so now i have a feeling they rushed through part 1 in season 1 to make season 2 a cliff hanger with Joel's impending demise being the starting point to Season 3.

-Foxtrot81d ago

I love how they decided to rush, chop and change things for Season 1 to get through the game yet for TLOU Part II it’s like “we’re going to do multiple seasons and take our time”

Inverno81d ago

Okay after seeing that there's only 7 episodes I take it back. Though I think it's incredibly stupid not to have just made the season longer. Another season just to finish what could've just been a 13 episode season seems counterintuitive but aiight. I put that on HBO tho.

Neonridr81d ago

This will be the 4th time Sony sells us The Last of Us Part 1.. And the 2nd time on the PS5.

Knushwood Butt80d ago

They don't want Metroid Prime holding that record,

NotoriousWhiz80d ago

Strange, I thought the record went to Street Fighter 2.

FPS_D3TH81d ago

We are approaching Skyrim levels here

Profchaos81d ago

At this point we are at Skyrim in terms of frequency. Skyrim was one per generation. If you exclude VR Skyrim we've now exceeded it

Tlou 1 PS3, 1 PS4 2 ps5
Skyrim 1 ps360 2 PS4/x1/vr 1 ps5/sx

Tlou 4
Skyrim 4

Christopher81d ago

Not quite. Skyrim had:

PS3/360/PC
PS4/X1
VR
Switch
Skyrim Special Edition PC/PS4/X1
Skyrim Special Edition PS5/XSX

VersusDMC81d ago (Edited 81d ago )

Also add skyrim bundles like the one below and all the humble bundles since that's what everyone is doing here

https://www.xbox.com/en-CA/...

darthv7281d ago

@Chris, LoU is getting just as bad by milking the same user base. At least Skyrim was able to sell to a wider audience via different platforms.

Christopher81d ago

@darthv72: I don't know why you're telling me that. I only corrected on number of Skyrim re-releases/ports/etc. I didn't say anything else.

Profchaos81d ago

@christopher guess I forgot just how much was out I think the special editions are technically one release despite being cross platform though would the Alexa version count

Christopher81d ago

@Profchaos: I guess, but I'd consider it a separate release since it rolled them into one at a later date but definitely there is a PS5/XSX version with PS5/XSX supported updates specific to them.

Chevalier80d ago

"LoU is getting just as bad by milking the same user base"

Weird. Like 35% of PS5 owners are NEW to Playstation. Plus this is really for new fans from the TV series for season 2 of TLOU.

I recall the same idiotic comments when the 1st one was remade just before TLOU TV Series came out and it went on the be one of the best selling games that year.

So maybe get your FACTS straight. Unlike Skyrim getting literally releases in 3 generations and 10 releases.

Neonridr80d ago

I gotta figure RE4 is up there too

FPS_D3TH80d ago

No. Those are remakes. Not remasters

Neonridr80d ago

@FPS - we've had quite a few RE4 remasters, only 1 remake.

CrimsonWing6979d ago (Edited 79d ago )

@FPS_D3TH

It blows my mind how people do some mental gymnastics to try to cope with a game they like doing the same thing (technically more) they’re complaining about for another game.

RE4 - PS2, GC
RE4 w Motion Controls - Wii
Literally RE4 HD Remaster - Xbox 360, PS3
I’m assuming a port of RE HD - PS4, Xbox One
RE4 Remake - PS5, Xsex

1 Remake and the bunch are Remasters… how, I mean how—Y’know what, it doesn’t matter anymore…

P_Bomb81d ago

Store says I already own it. I guess it’s just a straight twin-pack. Looks like they added 4 maps to ‘No Return’.

VersusDMC81d ago

You don't need to buy this to get the maps, marlene and bill. It all got patched in to the game on the 3rd.

P_Bomb81d ago (Edited 81d ago )

Good to know. I’ve watched runs of ‘No Return’ but have yet to try it myself. Soon, soon 😉

Knushwood Butt81d ago

Yeah, No Return got a content update.
Three new trophies too.

A mysterious physical edition of a Naughty Dog game is in the works

billibil-kun: "As The Last of Us season 2 prepares to air on HBO, we've spotted a mysterious reference to a special edition of a physical PS5 game from the franchise. Here's our take on the game, which remains unclear for now."

It's probably a bundle of both The Last of Us games

Nyxus91d ago

Yeah that's what I'm thinking. The Last of Us Part 1 + II Remastered.

lukasmain91d ago (Edited 91d ago )

That's totally what it is I believe. It would be a great bundle for new players getting into the ecosystem

91d ago
Goodguy0191d ago

They're really milking this franchise lol

anast91d ago

You must comment on every Mario, Zelda, and Skyrim article too.

darthv7291d ago

....because there has been the same mario, Zelda and Skyrim games for three console generations?

91d ago
isarai90d ago

@darthv72

Literally yes 🤨

Cacabunga90d ago

Every Mario and Zelda is different. This is just the exact same game over and over

anast90d ago

Skyrim, yes. Mario and Zelda since the 80's

Loktai90d ago

@darthv72 Uh yes. Yes it has. They milked BOTW across Wii U and switch and they STILL want 40+ for it new and never discounted it. They made "remasters" of older zelda games as well on switch and in the past onto the other gameboy platforms from the older platforms. They have done the same with Mario. They port the paper mario games and mario RPG to switch. And now I PROMISE you they are going to show "enhancements" for those same games on Switch 2. I PROMISE you thats going to get mentioned, maybe even tomorrow. Last of us Part 1 has been across techncially 3 generations, but 2 has been 2- and JUST BARELY 2 because it released just a few months before the PS5 did - and so if that counts as milking it, what do you call breath of the wild on Wii U then going to switch or Twilight Princess coming uot on gamecube and Wii - OR ZELDA WIND WAKER HD coming out?

"Skyrim games for three console generations?"

Darth showing some idiocy here. Seriously yes Skyrim has been re-released more than any other game period. It's been released on 3 generations - PS3, PS4, PS5, PSVR, PC, PC VR, Switch, Xbox 360, Xbox One, Xbox Series X/S. That's 10 releases across 3 generations! So Seriously get your DAMN facts straight.

Yui_Suzumiya90d ago

And yet Fallout 3 has never been Remastered. Prison time should be given for that offense, lol

darthv7290d ago

Skyrim sure, but the other two... not so much

thorstein90d ago (Edited 90d ago )

@darth GTAV says hi.

Skyrim has an Alexa edition.

Chevalier90d ago

Clearly a guy with business acumen! Why would Sony want to rebundle games and release them in time for the 2nd season of TLOU to release? I mean the last time a bunch of idiots laughed at Sony then guess what? TLOU part 1 for PS5 only hit top 5 sales and kept popping onto charts throughout the year?! Lol

90d ago
Chevalier90d ago

"Skyrim sure, but the other two... not so much"

Multiple Mario and Zelda games have made 2 generations. Maybe you guys forget that over a 3rd of the gamers on Playstation have NEVER owned a Playstation system before and some are coming into it as a result of the TV show.

People said the EXACT same crap when the 1st game got released on PS5, but, it ended up being one of the best selling games the year it came out.

Also for all the idiots complaining. Playstation at least offer $10 upgrades for some of these games. Have you EVER seen a re-release by Nintendo, Xbox, Bethesda offer that?! No I didn't think so.

darthv7290d ago

releasing a newer version because the previous version is not physically compatible is not quite the same as taking a perfectly good existing game that already works on the newer platform and repackaging it under a remaster brand for that newer platform and then repackaging it AGAIN for the same platform.

And that whole line of *insert people here may not have had a PS before* is a line of BS. PS2 is the most selling platform in history... chances are very good a high percentage upgrade to the PS3 and then upgraded to the PS4 and are upgrading again for the PS5. So dont give me that line of bologna. you'd rather swallow every bit of Sony propaganda instead of call them out for milking (and yes this is milking) this game. You know there will be a PS6 version and likely a PS7 remaster.

Of course i am purely speculating on the 6 & 7 but there is a high degree of probability because of what they did already between 3, 4 & 5. And you defending even the $10 upgrade when most of the XB games get free upgrades is just another sign of your blind loyalty. I didnt think it possible and gave you benefit of the doubt but now I can see i was totally wrong.

Chevalier89d ago (Edited 89d ago )

@Darth

Again your examples are absolutely terrible. Repackaged games for new audiences isn't new with the high cost of development. This release is timed for people that are new to Playstation coming from watching season 2 of the TV show. If you're surprised and annoyed by this then stop gaming then. It will happen if there's some new Skyrim, Fallout, Doom or whatever TV show comes out too.

Also you're the guy who defends Xbox for this crap too. Skyrim releases were done while owned by Xbox.

Also you mentioned the PS2, repackaged games happened all the time then too. If you think that repackaged games is going to go away with the skyrocketing cost of development is going away then sorry cover your eyes and plug your ears and pretend like an idiot then. You will be complaining daily soon.
