Top 5 Playstation 3 Games Missing from E3 2012

From the PlanetPlaystation feature list:

"Sony had an above-average showing at E3 2012 with The Last of Us and Beyond: Two Souls stealing a lot of the limelight. Both games should be solid exclusive additions to the growing PlayStation 3 library. Even with these two being the prime focus for Sony, there were a few games that were grossly missed from their lineup, along with a handful of third-party support that was oddly out of the picture."

I would have loved to see Overstrike =(

WildArmed4750d ago (Edited 4750d ago )

Ditto. If half of these games showed up at E3 this year, it woulda been an awesome E3.

But for some reason, Sony avoided bringing anything big. It was kinda disappointing. I think they could have taken some time off all the already announced games or that ridiculous Far Cry 3 co-op session and give us updates on these.

Oh well..
at this point, pretty sure Agent is dead.

Sony has become pretty notorious this gen with game announcement and releases. Like The Agency, it was shown then canned... not to be heard of until much later.

Or Assassin Creed n DMC4 exclusive announcement (not that I mind them going multi-platform) and then it went otherwise.
It's becoming hard to keep anything down with a track record like that this gen.

SonyStyled4750d ago

about a year ago rockstar said agent was still in development. then at e3 2011 someone asked jack tretton if it was still a ps3 exclusive and he said something along the lines of "im not sure". a similar question was asked at this years e3 and tretton responded "like you said, its agent from rackstar games. youll have to ask rockstar games the questions". if it was canned he would have said so. i think jack avoided answering if it was a ps3 exclusive because its now a ps4 game. it all makes sense. if it was multiplat, we would have heard it by now, same as if it was canned. i think its a ps4 game now that its this late in this gen of games

The Last of Us made up for all 5...

nukeitall4750d ago (Edited 4750d ago )

It's usually how Sony works. All about the hype train.

Distract fans with Agent (since 2007), Last Guardian (since 2008) and Final Fantasy Versus XIII. Gets fanboy's to put it on their list of exclusive every year since, and then introduce a new IP and keep silent on the other supposed games!

That is how they beat the Dreamcast with the PS2. Dreamcast was practically dead before PS2's release due to the hype Sony generated.

That said, Last of Us did look damn good!!! Naughty Dog has a good track record of releasing games so far so I can't wait myself.

I do agree, one good game THAT IS RELEASED makes up for five awesomely non-existant ones. XD

edit: @LarVanian
Sony announced it way too early to play their hype game again. It's definitely deliberate. MS learned their lesson with Alan Wake, and *almost* all games they announced since then have been released within a 18-month window.

LarVanian4750d ago

Agent and Last Guardian were both announced in 2009. And it isn't really Sony's fault that games such as Versus XIII and Agent are taking so long. Those are matters concerning Rockstar and Square-enix.

beerkeg4750d ago

The Last Guardian is the game I want most on ps3. I really was hoping for something to be shown, anything really, at E3. Maybe at TGS. Maybe.

Immediately thought of the El Dorado zombie dudes in Uncharted: Drake’s Fortune.

raWfodog44d ago (Edited 44d ago )

Not necessarily a ‘horror’ moment, but I remember feeling really tense and anxious when the Flood were first introduced in the original Halo. I never felt more on edge or nervous in that whole game as that moment. I think it was the whole buildup that something terrible was coming but you didn’t know exactly what.

Another non-horror game that had me feeling it was Subnautica. The deep dark depths, and knowing that sea monsters were lurking nearby, had me jumping at every sound.

NettosGameRoom44d ago

That scene where you first see them attack is pretty crazy!

Relientk7744d ago

I remember being scared of the Asylum level in the most recent Thief game from 2014.

Cancelled Games That Still Upsetti My Spaghetti

As a wise man once said: what be will, be will, and sometimes games just get canceled, whether it’s due to publisher meddling, a lack of funds or the creative vision simply not panning out.

Eight Days for me

Really would have enjoyed a buddy cop game with a Lethal Weapon like tone.

helicoptergirl159d ago

The only one that really bothered me was when Sony wouldn't fund Days Gone 2. That announcement made me literally feel nauseous. I felt sick in the guts. That's the first time Sony had done something that actually physically hurt me lol. I'm still bummed that there won't be a Days Gone 2.

lucasnooker109d ago

I would have loved the getaway 3! The original is still one of my favourite PS2 titles

always liked 15, but the development was shch a shitshow. it could have been so much more.

but Tabata did a good job with what he had regardless

DivineHand125179d ago

Ff15 was a missed opportunity from square as they transitioned from turn based to real time.

One of the issues is that it was 30 fps. The combat mechanics required precision dodges to activate Noctis teleport ability and it was difficult to do at 30 fps. I am glad they rectified that in FF16. The story and flow also felt like it went through a chopshop similar to how some live service games end up when they are trying to meet a deadline. Those extra episodes they sold as dlc should have been in the maingame.

FF15 is one of the weaker entries in the series.

Z501178d ago

Dodges don't activate the teleport ability. Teleport was R1 + O. Dodge was just the O button. Explain the Black Hood (the item that automatically Dodges for you)

TheNamelessOne179d ago

Ah yes; FF XV.
The beginning of me coming to the realization the series was no longer for me.

Michiel1989178d ago

16 was a lot better, I think 15 was just a big mess with how development went and all. The music though, one of the best in the series, probably the only reason I finished the game.

Cacabunga178d ago

At least FF15 had RPG elements . 16 was just an action game from beginning to end.

Michiel1989178d ago

I rather have a good action game than a bad rpg with 2 button combat

Cacabunga178d ago (Edited 178d ago )

Then call it something else then FF. I got scammed with FF16. Nothing of what i expected it to be.
Even the action is bad in it, especially after the demo section where absolutely nothing happens until the very end.

FF15 isnt a great game but it has some variety at least.

CrimsonWing69179d ago

That initial trailer with the Leviathan fight was the game I wish we got. The actual retail release was watchdogged to all Hell and while there’s enjoyment to be had in the game, it’s such an incomplete product and so many elements feel so slapped together without any cohesion.

Like, don’t get me wrong, I loved fishing, cooking, and the first third of the game, but I much rather they made a story that didn’t feel barely there and the the last third of the game didn’t feel so rushed and unfinished.

Becuzisaid178d ago

Every time a party member left for a period of time screamed future paid dlc. It was horrible.

Imagine Dagger and Steiner making the party go to sleep in Lindblum in FF9 disc 1 and then taking off to Alexandria by foot themselves, but then never playing their side of the adventure in disc 2 when they smuggle her through the South Gate in pickles, take the cable car and fight the Waltz, head to Treno and start the quest to find Supersoft. They just eventually reunite with the main party in the future without explanation of what went on in their adventure.

Or Sephiroth's backstory in the famous Kalm flashback being added as a dlc pack. Same goes for Vincent, Cid, or Yuffie for that matter.

Oh and anything to do with Jenova, the Ancients, Aerith, her mom and Gast, shoved into a 2 hour CG movie or 5 hour anime ministries that's considered required viewing for anything in the main game to make sense or have characters actually be interesting.

I enjoyed FF15 at the time, and finished it, but it's bright spots are marred by a bad development cycle and a worse marketing scheme.

CrimsonWing69178d ago

What’s sad is when I watched a vid on the entire story (that wasn’t properly told in the actual game)!it was really solid and could’ve been one of the most epic stories in any FF. I think a lot of the compilation and cross-media stuff really f*cked it all up.

gurp179d ago

FFXV was underrated in my opinion
I have played all of the final fantasy games, and I loved this game
turn based to me takes too long, I like active battle
the extra dlc and chapters should have been included in the original release, but it is nice that they fixed the game later
