Exactly. I dont see why these PS3 fans are getting so upset over these scores. If you know you are going to like the game, thats all that matters. Just like Kinect, it gets bashed all the time around here but I love mine. Oh well

iPad4980d ago

Oh well. I'm having way more fun playing KZ3 than KZ2

lil Titan4980d ago

any and everybody is so focused to point out negativity on this and every Sony exclusive...why cant they have a survey on people who bought the game and give there score on it? i bet the score would be alot different

Kon4980d ago

So this is what PS3 fans do? If a game is going bad on scores they bring Xbox games?? lol

RatherHavaBigGirl4979d ago

kz3 controls need work. They're to floaty no matter how much I mess with the sensitivity. Sluggish. And I'm a ps3 only owner and I don't play cod. Kz3 controls are just fucked up and I hope they can fix it. kz3 is nearly perfect imo but the controls ruin it.

Alpha_Gamer4980d ago

I`ve noticed it is getting harder to maintain a high score on Metacritic. LBP2 dropped to 91 despite the insanely good reviews. Two versions of Dead Space 2 also dropped to 88.

It is possible KZ3 will hit 91, but it`s doubtful because there are already 20 reviews.

Zir04980d ago

Too many sequels which are too similar to their predecessors.

Games thats were once AAA are becoming AA GT5, Killzone 3, LBP2 and Halo: Reach just about managed it.

Gears 3 and Uncharted 3 could be next.

plb4980d ago

UC3 non-AAA? Doubt that. ND are gaming gods.

Keith Olbermann4980d ago

@Ziro
You make some of the dumbest comments on this site. Sorry dude..but its true.

just_looken4980d ago

i guss by your logic all those ps2 sequels were crap? ha oh and gt5>gt4

SoapShoes4980d ago

GT5 blows every other GT out of the water.

mushroomwig4980d ago

'Too many sequels which are too similar to their predecessors. '

Game deveolopers just can't win, completely changing the game machanics to a sequel can risk the alienation of their fanbase, but at the same time if they stay true to their original format then people will still complain that it's too similar.

Damned if they do and damned if they don't.

Clarence4980d ago (Edited 4980d ago )

I agree it seems that alot of reviewers are targeting the PS3 exclusives. GT5 is a great game but they tried to knock it, without even playing the game fully. IGN is one of those sites, that is really bias towards the PS3. Its starting to become very obvious with them. A lot of the reviewers have been saying that the story is bad or nothing new to the gameplay. I ask what's so great about BlackOps, MW2 gameplay or story?

KZ3 is going to be a great ride. People just got out and buy the game, prove the haters wrong like you did when GT5 came out.

moparful994980d ago

So a game has to have a meta score over 90 to be AAA? I wish you people would quit buying into all of this nonsense... There will always be a bunch of hater sites that give weak scores because they have a stick up their butts.. Review scores have lost all of their credibility anymore...

Optical_Matrix4980d ago

This is idiot doesn't even know what AAA means. Its a marketing term. Games which have huge budgets and marketing campaigns/hype surrounding them are AAA. Review score has NOTHING to do with it. Halo 4 can score a 55 on meta and it'd still be AAA because you can be sure as fuck MS will put a lot of money and marketing into the game. Look it up if you don't believe me.

Halo 3 > Halo Reach, MW2 > BO, AC2 > AC:B

just_looken4980d ago

funny aswell a 2007 game is #1 on your list

lil Titan4980d ago

thats true to add to your list thats in the same category
$h!t > liquid $h!t

fooltheman4980d ago

asassins creed brotherhood..was better than ac2 though ^^

just_looken4980d ago

watch gears 3 gets 98 but has a 4hr sp and a loading screen every 30min heck gears 2 mp is a epic fail but everyone likes it. money>reviewer

HarryMonogenis4980d ago

Haha, I'm sure everyone will take you seriously and know you're not a fanboy *looks at avatar image*

I can guarantee that you haven't played Gears of War 2.

Ravenor4980d ago

If the game doesn't matter to you, why does the number matter? The scores pretty irrelevant to my enjoyment of a title, maybe you should try that.

PlayStation 3 Games That Desperately Need a PS5 Remaster

The PlayStation 3 may not have been the strongest generation for Sony, but there were still some diamonds in the rough that deserve a revisit as PS5 remasters.

Even if they could just remaster and put on PSVR2, some would still look great as VR titles and could do a whole lot to bolster the headset w these exclusives! I'd imagine the investment of reworking these titles into VR would be way less than building new games from the ground up, and they could be amazing experiences, and VR often makes flat games feel fresh again. The Resistance and Killzone games are particularly what I want to see!!

Rude-ro199d ago

I played killzone 3 in 3d and it really changed the game per being immersive.
In vr, that would be even more awesome.

darthv72199d ago

Funny you mention that... my son wanted to play some PS3 games in 3d on my PS tv and he was blown away by how good KZ3 was. It really was a great addition to the game. Im surprised there have not been more 3d games from that era being ported to the PSVR/VR2.

_SilverHawk_199d ago

resistance 1-3, killzone 1-3, uncharted 1-3, uncharted golden abyss, folklore, socom 4 , motorstorm, twisted metal, MAG, heavenly sword

Cacabunga199d ago

Killzone 2+3
Sly Thieves in Time
Crack in Time
God of War Ascension
Motorstorm
Modnation racer
Infamous 1+2

Profchaos198d ago (Edited 198d ago )

Killzone trilogy in VR would be amazing bonus points if they offer shadow fall.

There was a psvr1 Killzone project that supermassive was working on at one stage which wasn't up to scratch and Sony brand it back in house I was hoping we would see that on psvr2 eventually.

Personally I'd love to see some more love or acknowledgement of psvr2 from Sony in general it was a expensive headset and Sony barely acknowledge it's existence

seanpitt23198d ago

The amount of work needed to remaster these games wouldn't be beneficial on a financial and business sense.. MGS4 would probably be the best bet as it would need the least amount of work!

Iceball2000199d ago

YEAAASSSSS! I miss this franchise and wanna play it so bad again.

Father__Merrin199d ago

The time is perfect for a resistance fall of man game campaign coop multiplayer

InUrFoxHole199d ago

The resistance series is str8 trash to me. Socom 3 I would welcome. Or killzone MP.

Marcus Fenix199d ago

A Resistance reboot will be awesome

Michiel1989199d ago

That's what Bungie should make, Ill keep saying it until it happens

1Victor199d ago (Edited 199d ago )

Resistance was ok but Warhawk and Starhawk was better and kept me coming back for almost a decade of fun and petty revenge on the loud mouth unskilled players 🤣
Edit I loved capture the flag dropping the pot on the flag carrier was extremely satisfying as well as transforming your plane in bot form and stumping them to death 😱

Michiel1989199d ago

Resistance was the best co-op fps I ever played after L4D2

Up there with the top tier in the industry. Love Guerrilla Games - Horizon Burning Shores is simply STUNNING.

1Victor503d ago

Can’t wait for their next franchise

SullysCigar503d ago

Same. They nailed it with Horizon. The trouble is I also want a new Killzone! Can't I just have it all?!

jznrpg502d ago

I’m with you I want Horizon 3 , Killzone and new IPs

badz149502d ago

I have yet to play Burning Shores as I just started Forbidden West (bought at launch, just unwrapped last weekend LOL) and playing on PS5.

man...I still can't believe the graphics especially now I'm playing it on my LG OLED. that graphics and with stable performance backing it up, GG really is the master of their craft!

Vengeance1138503d ago

32.7M sales in the Horizon franchise! With 8.4M coming from Forbidden West alone! Truly a hugely successful game and franchise as a whole. Looking forward to Horizon III

Shane Kim503d ago

That's kind of a huge drop though. It's only been two games.

VersusDMC503d ago

One year after realease HZD sold 7.6 million.

https://www.noobfeed.com/ne...

So not a drop off.

Unless you're saying a HFW should have sold as much now as HZD sold in 5 years?

Vengeance1138503d ago

It's been 3 games, this includes Call of the Mountain. Also no, its a great improvement over HZD.

solideagle503d ago

lol you are comparing:

HZD: 28 February 2017 - May 2023 (6 years+)

HFW: 18 February 2022 - May 2023 (1 year+)

We will see if it surpass original number.

Phoenix76503d ago

@shane, 2 full main games, 2 DLC add ons, 1 VR spin off game, oh and a an official LEGO set.
Not too bad for an ip that's only been on market for 6 years

REDGUM502d ago

Wow, very impressive. I didn't know the numbers were so high for Forbidden West. Still playing through it myself

thesoftware730503d ago (Edited 503d ago )

Yooo, when I first saw that Killzone 1 footage at E3, my friends my brothers and I were like, Holy shit! When it came out, it didn't look exactly like it, but we sunk so many hours into 1 & 2.

I even liked Killzone: SF, it was a spectacle to look at, and even today it looks good. I hope they make a new one. Can you imagine how that will look, and they can get some modern FPS pointers from Bungie.

blacktiger502d ago

thank you fps lover, I'm with you

talocaca503d ago

Such a wonderful studio. They deserve all their success.

The Decima Engine is absolute 🔥 I'm just mad they have abandoned Killzone.

OzzY-waZZy503d ago (Edited 503d ago )

Kinda wish they move on from Horizon tbh.

potatoseal503d ago

They are probably working on mutiple projects. One of them is Horizon 3, but another is a multiplaer game and probably somehting else.

Imalwaysright503d ago

There were rumours that they were working on a Socom reboot.

Top 20 Best PlayStation 3 Games (20-11)

Alex DS. from Link Cable Gaming writes: "Is the PlayStation 3 retro? This is a surprisingly hard question to answer as the system definitely has the age to be considered retro, having launched in 2006, over 15 years ago now. But with it being home to so many massive games, many of which still hold up today and in fact were released for the PlayStation 4 when that console was released, make the PS3 a retro console that doesn’t feel retro."

shinoff2183874d ago

No ps3 is not retro. I dont even consider ps2 era retro. All imo.

shinoff2183874d ago

Typically, the term retro is given to items which are at least 20 years old (but not yet 40 years old).

Quick google search

badz149874d ago

No the PS3 is not yet a retro console. But if you're gonna put 1 game from a series in this list, then LBP2 should be there instead of the original, Motorstorm PR is also an overall better game than the 1st game and to put Tools of Destruction over A Crack in Time is a blasphemy when ACiT is the best game in the series.
