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

Cacabunga512d 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

Profchaos511d 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

DarXyde511d ago

It's not a comprehensive list.

Moegooner512d ago (Edited 512d ago )

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

Agent75512d 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.

CosmicTurtle511d ago

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

Inverno512d ago

Another PS3 list another me mentioning 3D Dot Game Heroes

Redgrave512d ago

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

StoneTitan511d ago

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

FIELDMARSHALL_P511d 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_P511d 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.

Rynxie511d 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.

Profchaos511d 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

Rynxie511d 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.

Ace Combat 7 Director Asks Which Ace Combat and Ridge Racer Remakes You Want

Remakes and remasters have become a staple of this generation, and Ace Combat 7 Game Director Kazutoki Kono opened a couple of interesting polls on his Twitter account about two of Bandai Namco’s most classic series.

Give me every Ace Combat from 1 to 5 and any Ridge Racer will do. Flight Combat is my favorite genre, Ill take everything you can give me.

Abriael3658d ago (Edited 3658d ago )

I'd be happy with Ace 5 and RR T4 :D

And an Ace 3 actually localized without removing the whole story.

bouzebbal3658d ago

Ace combat everyone than 6.
RR type 4 was amazing.. One of my best memories

DevilOgreFish3658d ago

Ridge Racer 4 all the way.

Aenea3658d ago

I totally agree! Love flight games and racing games, whenever I bought a new PlayStation a Ridge Racer was always that I got with it, was kinda bummed there was (and still is) none for the PS4

CrazedFiend3658d ago (Edited 3658d ago )

Adventure and maybe even FPS games makes sense but Why do THESE games need remakes?

DafunkyRebel3657d ago

Ace Combat 5 was the best and most memorable hands down

Philaroni3658d ago

4, 4, 4, 4. Ace Combat Four.

FITgamer3658d ago

Yeah boy. I spent so many hours on that game. One of my favorite PS2 games.

nix3657d ago

I played one where the wingman becomes the main villian. Can't remember which one it is.

Sharingan_no_Kakashi3658d ago

4 was the first one I played and it was really good. But I like 5 the best. Being able to control your comrades was great and the story was just slightly better. Though no one is more legendary than Mobius 1.

Bennibop3658d ago

Ridge racer 4 would be amazing!

ritchi453658d ago

AC4 was my first experience not only of the series, but also my first PS2 game. Remember hammering it for hours at Xmas when I got it.
Would love to see it brought back :)

20 years of PlayStation: the Ridge Racer revolution - Digital Foundry revisits the PS1 game

Eurogamer:
"December 3rd, 1994 - Sony launches the original PlayStation in Japan, bringing with it seismic shift in the nature of console gaming. The 2D era of sprites and bitmap art was coming to an end, with polygon-driven 3D the new standard in state-of-the-art visuals. The Sega Saturn launched a couple of weeks ahead of Sony's debut console, but it was the PlayStation that set the standard for technological innovation in this new era. Namco's Ridge Racer launched alongside the new hardware - and it was a revelation."

Riiiiiiiiiiiiiddgeeee Raaaaaaaaccceeeeeeeeeer, everyone!
Says Kaz. Never forget.

MK24ever4155d ago

That is actually in the game, that's why he said it that way... but I guess you're to young to know that.

rodiabloalmeida4155d ago (Edited 4155d ago )

You lost the bet. I played the very first Ridge Racer game on the first 32 bit Arcade machine when you were on dipers. Can't take a joke, huh?

MK24ever4154d ago

I can take a funny joke, not one trying to make fun of an internet Meme which was made based on ignorance. And what makes you think I was that young in 1993? Anyway, if I misjudged your intent with that comment I'm sorry for that, but with so many trolls on here sometimes it's hard to differentiate jokes from trolling.

rodiabloalmeida4154d ago

Just don't take things too serious. That works for me. And that wasn't even a try for a joke. It was just a memory that everyone shares, at least the ones who follows the Sony brand. ;)

Hoffmann4155d ago

The music of Ridge Racer 1-5 still beats the scores from the later games though!

madmonkey014155d ago

the space invader loading screen was great in that game, complete it all to unlock all the cars and the special black car. those were the days, no micro transactions to buy a faster car in those days.

NaAsAr4155d ago

please bandai-namco. bring these classics back with online multiplayer for psn and xbox live. the newer games are utter crap.

Tapani4155d ago

Damn! I completed this game 100% once. I got all the cars, did all the crazy challenges to unlock every last one of them. The Space invader thing, everything.

I just gotto say it: THOSE WERE THE DAYS!!! :))
