Splatterhouse – the arcade game – wasn't actually that good even 22 years ago when it first hit Japan. So why a remake of the first game is being made at all confuses us – next they'll be telling us the 'classic' Altered Beast will be re-done (1. It's rubbish, 2. We know it's already been re-done, and the remake is rubbish too)."
The PS3 era was a happy time, so let's look back on some of its games that flew well under the radar.
One of my favourite games.
I played all the games in the list, it is a good list but there were plenty of other overlooked gems. Several have been remastered now e.g. Catherine, Red Faction, Kingdoms of Amalur.
Some more you could add, Space Marine, Singularity, Killer is Dead, and a whole bunch of indies like Deathspank, Critter Crunch, The Last Guy.
Haze is the greatest PlayStation 3 game to ever launch, it took first person shooting to a whole new level. Just shocked it never got a remake on PlayStation 5.
Sad that the team behind Dante inferno did not get their chance to finish the story. They had two other games planned
Enslaved: Odyssey to the West
Remember Me
Folklore
Tales of Graces f
3D Dot Game Heroes
The Darkness
Enslaved is a terrible port on the PS3 mind you, it's a great game though. But the PS3 version is....brutally ass. I wish I opted for the 360 version when I played trough it a few years back lol.
There’s some gems in the list but as far as “should play” MAG would be in a “should’ve played” for sure
Indeed. A bit hard to play a game that was entirely online with shutdown servers. A shame that it went from a game that could have been remembered for what it was, and instead is remembered as a poster child for why you should be wary of entirely online games.
I enjoyed it while it lasted, thoroughly.
I had the most kills with my knife, I’d sneak ALL game, destroying AA batteries 🔪
Too bad the industry hadn’t figured out how yet to support online games long term with additional content and MTXs.
Heck yes. MAG was one of the most satisfying fps I've ever played. Definitely miss it!
"I have always liked the idea of having a Doom-like "Splatterhouse" game. Well, now I (we) get the chance to experience a game like that, because "Splatterhouse 3D" is a really cool "Doom" mod that offers that very .experience" - Robin Ek, TGG.
