Little Big Planet, lol. No.

paddy9568d ago

LBP3 and rayman legends are the best here.

Puppeteer is really good. Nobody played it because it came out right before PS4 came out. When I went to pick up Puppeteer from GameStop some people were trading in their old consoles for PS4 preorder.

Sony's Licensing Strategy May Be the Best Route to Reviving Some of PlayStation's Lost Classics

Sammy: "It’s sad that PlayStation has moved on from some of these iconic brands, but it would be worse watching them rot. At least with this licensing strategy, there’s a legitimate opportunity for more great franchises to get a second chance. And if they sell really well, there’s always the chance Sony may decide to bring them back."

Love this idea. Let other companies release reboots of these classics to a wider audience. Everyone wins.

Eonjay34d ago

It's what most IP holders do.

jznrpg34d ago

Remaster Puppeteer. It looked great on PS3 but it would be nice to have on PS5 with fast loading and some sort of 4k

Man I'd love to see GR3. Unfortunately Somy didn't do well to advertise these games and AAA gaming is what most gamers preferred.

This gen has been different, indies and smaller games are what people absolutely love now so I wonder how these games would do if they were to release now. These games would also need a PC release.

Cacabunga70d ago (Edited 70d ago )

GR2 was nice but i don’t think it’s made for a home console. It played like a dream on vita. Same for tearaway. Ps4 version was boring but vita was glorious.
Japan studio made amazing titles for everyone. Call them AA if you like but they can work on jrpg reboots and sequel of bloodborne. Maybe even let them remake old gems even from other developers. I don’t think a partnership with SNK to develop Koudelka remake will be unnoticed. But bad management is where it’s at. AA disappeared but let’s invest everything in gaas

Knushwood Butt70d ago

GR2 was never on Vita, oddly, but yes, the fist game was best on Vita and the gyro controls really suited the game and worked well too. Vita had a ton of tech built into it.

I platted GR1 on Vita and PS4.
I couldn't play GR2 more than a couple of hours. Bought it day 1. Still have it. Tried twice but just couldn't get into it.

isarai72d ago

I mean can you really say it closed when 90% of the staff is at Asobi Games which was originally a team in Japan Studio?

blackblades71d ago

Don't try to spin it the studio is no mo end of story

pwnmaster300071d ago

I mean he has a point.
I get it the studio is gone but what makes the studio, the people who works there.

For example people say BioWare is not BioWare no more because the people who made BioWare left.
Team Asobi may not be named studio Japan no more but if 90% of the workers is from studio Japan then it’s damn near the same and they still in Japan.

isarai71d ago (Edited 71d ago )

Not trying to spin it, that's literally the facts, Asobi absorbed Japan studio, and a small portion left but most of the Japan studio staff are still there 🤨. They're certainly taking a different direction that Japan studio but it's still the same people in the same office working for the same publisher 🤷‍♂️

Hell even the DNA is the same. Astrobot shares a lot in common with how it feels and controls with games like puppeteer and knack

blackblades70d ago

Saying that is like saying they gonna be making gravity rush 3 which is a no. The studio itself is gone the workers that went to asobi isnt gonna be making the same games

isarai70d ago

Wtf are you going on about, no one said any of that, why you makin sh!t up just to argue? 🤣

Scissorman70d ago

that's a bit of poor argument. i mean look at naughty dog. they don't make crash, jak & daxter , or uncharted games anymore either.

Bring Puppeteer to PS5 please! Love that game. Gravity Rush collection would be ice as well.

isarai71d ago

I've been shouting that games underrated nature for so long. I honestly think it has more unique charm and heart than astrobot, and if people rediscovered it they would really see Japan studio has always been a special studio

jznrpg70d ago

All the different heads and abilities were awesome. The aesthetic was awesome. The level design was so much fun. It is the true meaning of underrated, sadly.

Melankolis71d ago

Understandable. Adult gamers, while still having interest in AA gaming, have so little time that they choose to play AAA instead. Indie too, being fun and cheap, who could resist? they are too, time-consuming.

Eonjay71d ago

I think your on to something but for me it feels different. For one, even AAA games can get too time consuming. Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth is gigantic. Some would say obsessively so. It's quite an achievement simply due to the amount t of content. I definitely have less time for games now and the problem is that there is so much to play. I don't even get to half of the AAA games I want to play.

no beyond 2 souls or heavy rain god of war 3 uncharted 2 3 should got a mentioned

Cacabunga160d ago

I think all PS3 games are still looking good to this day!
God of War Ascension, Uncharted 3, Killzone 3, LBP, Beyond 2 souls, Sly thieves in Time.. other day i played Start The Party.. unbeatable fun

Profchaos159d ago

I think all of those games got remastered which really makes them forgettable on the base PS3 as everyone always jumps to the PS4 iteration

DarXyde159d ago

It's not a comprehensive list.

Moegooner160d ago (Edited 160d ago )

Whoever prepared this. Thanks for writing something meaningful for a change instead of the clickbait crap others do.

Agent75160d ago

Ridge Racer 6 on the Xbox 360 played a lot better than Ridge Racer 7 on the PlayStation 3, which included Ridge Racer 6 tracks. Ridge Racer 6 was the last quality game in the series.

CosmicTurtle159d ago

Both are good games, RR6 looks very slightly better, but this post is not about that.

Inverno160d ago

Another PS3 list another me mentioning 3D Dot Game Heroes

Redgrave160d ago

Yes, this deserves a re-release. I am surprised it hasn't been brought forth again.

StoneTitan159d ago

Must have sold pretty bad. I thought iz looked great but really did not like it

FIELDMARSHALL_P159d ago

@stonetitan it was like a love letter to the original legend of Zelda. I get it probably wasn't for everyone but it's a great game.

FIELDMARSHALL_P159d ago

Game was overlooked by a lot of people it took me back to the 80's playing the legend of Zelda on the gold cartridge for the first time. My kids I their twenties now actually brought it up the other day. I need a ps3 again my last one went out completely. I have so many ps3 games just sitting in a bookshelf. Still got that one up there too. I heard it's worth a lot now or at least was a few years ago, saw some article on it.

Rynxie160d ago

Replaying kz2, kz3, r1, r2, r3, kens rage 1 & 2, 3d dot game heroes etc. and they all aged beautifully. Also, playing these games in the hardest difficulty reminded me of how hard games were on the PS3. How I had such a love & hate relationship with these games.

Profchaos159d ago

I'm replaying kz2 on emulator at the moment purely because I want to remap the buttons outside of this it floors me just how good kz2 was on real hardware

Rynxie159d ago

Unfortunately, kz2 crashes for me on rpcs3 around the level where the helghast talks about raditz executing a soldier for poor uniform ethics. When I try and go up the stairs it keeps crashing. I haven't found a workaround yet. Every other game I'm playing works fine though.
