Twenty games that will shape the PS3.

In 2006, it was hard to say anything nice about Sony and their approach to one of the most anticipated videogame systems of all time. While there may have been excessive blunders before, the PlayStation 3 has been selling consistently and well. And while there may be a drought of games to play on the entertainment behemoth now, we promise that you won't have to wait too long. Read on for the twenty games that will shape the PS3.

i don't see LAIR, Heavenly Sword at all in the list... maybe they listed only the games which everyone will play (not the hard-core ones)...

i want 8 Days too. and some of the listed games are also coming in 360.

Robotz Rule7018d ago

That game is going to change the way we play video games forever!,and is sure to sell a few hundreds if not thousands of Playstation 3 units due to the fact Wizards Of The Coast are making the cards playable with the game.

This list is sure f'd up to the max:)

QuackPot7018d ago (Edited 7018d ago )

Released videos so far show the AI and general gameplay is crap - especially on the ground. The developers have a lot of work to do. If they can make it more like God of War 2 then they just may earn the right to join the list.

****

But least we forget the importance of - LITTLE BIG PLANET - to be released 2008.

It should be clearly at the top of the list to finally turn the tide in Ps3's favour. Believe it or not, this simple platform game is going to be Sony's KILLER application. It's going to be huge, !!!! HUGE !!!!!!

Everyone that's anyone will want this game. It's just pure fun and that is what gaming is all about - not everyone wants to maime, butcher and kill.

I just love this comment from a badass viewer:

"I mean just look at hose cute little fukcers lol!! I like that one in the cape!! Fukcin adorable shti right there!!"

This game will get to the heart of any true gamer. This game will be just as enjoyable, 20 years from now.

Yes. 2008 is going to be a great year for ps3 owners.

"the PlayStation 3 has been selling consistently and well." Umm, where is this guy getting his info from???? last time we all checked, there sales numbers for the last couple of months are embarassing. Not knocking the system, just stating the obvious.

techie7018d ago

still consistent though ;)

nice_cuppa7018d ago

consistently bad is still consistent !

Birdman187018d ago

HAHA you hit the nail on the head with that one.... they say the Wii is outselling PS3 7-1.. PS3 has a few games coming out that are exclusives.. but we are nearing the end of exclusive console games.. especially since the wii's totally #'s are 3-1 against the ps3, and the 360 is 5-1. i still think eventually the ps3 and 360 will come out on top once people realize the wii is a novelty item and is just a gimmick. i forgot the developer that said it, but he was 100% right.. its two gamcubes duct taped together with a motion sensing controller. once people see games like Lair, GTA4, MGS4, Halo 3, and Forza.. they will kick themselves in the nuts for buying the wii..and this is coming from someone who owns a wii...

tehcellownu7018d ago

umm strange article..but i know all the games thats comin out anyways. so i know which one to pick up. and what game will push the power of the ps3

Anego Montoya FTMFW7018d ago

I`m hype to see what it actually is.
not what people think it`s going to be.
E3.E3.E3.

ArduousAndy7018d ago

this list doesnt impress me. Since a few of the games that are on there are going to all consoles. Not to start a flame war by any means. Lets see the Unique games for the ps3 that will make its shape.

I understand the importance on these games but realistically since roughly half (possibly more) of this list is to extend the library but if these games are available on a less expensive system especially ones that are in more homes then the ps3 how will it help ?

Anego Montoya FTMFW7018d ago (Edited 7018d ago )

Ratchet&Clank and Uncharted should be enough to impress any game fan.
Especially one`s who aren`t that into FPS or RPGs.
Heavenly Sword,MGS4,Warhawk and Lair aren`t even on there.
w/Home.

I don`t know about you but those 6 games are pretty impressive for a system to get out in it`s first year.

ArduousAndy7018d ago

I'm not impressed with the List not the games. Theres a difference.

Again my reason for say Eh to the list is that half of the games are going to other systems.

Now if it was a list of the Unique games then I would be impressed.

However I've never really liked Ratchet N crank.

For the ones you listed Heavenly Sword looks pretty however it seems to be a God of War rip (i will rescind my comment when the game comes out and I'm proven wrong)

MGS4 eh its one of those titles that look pretty and goes over the top with story and cinematic which is good. However its not my type of game. Never liked stealth games
Home to me seems like a rip of second Life (I really really really do not like Second life)

Warhawk dont know much about it.

Lair seems like a pretty version of Panzar Dragoon. I like Panzar Dragoon. So a pretty version should be awesome.

Rybnik7018d ago (Edited 7018d ago )

It is not a rip-off...As for this list, it is good, but I agree really should have included just exclusive games--
NGS
HS
Wardevil
White Knight Story
Lair
FF XIII, FF Versus:XIII
MGS4
Eight Days
Getaway 3
GT5
Warhawk
Motorstorm 2
GOW3

and I believe the list goes on but I can't think of anything beyond this at the moment.

Look I know VIII has its issues and all that but how on earth can the do big anniversary events with new artwork and merchandise for VII, IX and X yet VIII got sweet f*** all.

They could have given it something during its 25th anniversary yet all it got was a single Happy Anniversary post on their social media.

solideagle76d ago

they should know that we are OG fans of VIII as it sold truckload as well. not as much as VII or X. I personally didn't like IX but X and VI are my personal fav.

Shadow Hearts 2 covenant is another game I love. I hope one day someone can make remake, I would be delighted

Relientk7776d ago

Final Fantasy VIII is great and you are always the first to defend it in the comments

"Gaming’s Biggest Fighting Franchise"

Press X to (seriously) doubt.

DarXyde83d ago

Underrated comment. I used to hate that game so much that any time my siblings asked me to play it, I just picked Hom and shut myself down mid-match.

Soy84d ago

And then MK1 killed it again.

DivineHand12583d ago (Edited 83d ago )

15 years went by so fast. I remember playing through the story mode at launch.

PlayStation legend Shuhei Yoshida says Jim Ryan fired him because he didn't listen to him

Why did Sony push Shuhei Yoshida out of his role leading PlayStation's first-party games? He'd overseen some huge successes. Well, apparently, he didn't listen.

Relientk7785d ago

Yeah I can see that for sure. Shuhei Yoshida should have been in charge not Jim Ryan.

Cacabunga85d ago

It should be free highway for him now.. but Sony are too stupid to see this, especially that moron Hulst

S2Killinit84d ago (Edited 84d ago )

Wtf why all that anger. PlayStation is dominating on every level. Besides I think there is a little more to hiring a CEO than just who is available. Its not like its a athlete your team wants to buy.

neutralgamer199284d ago

S2Killinit

live service failures, chasing trends, closing studios. yes dominating

Cacabunga84d ago

Sony is Dominating because competition is not existing. Compared to previous gens this is the poorest in terms of software offerings.

Last gen we got Uncharted 4 Lost Legacy and TLOU2 from ND alone.

This is so far a remasters gen, with no competition to lift up the quality

1nsomniac84d ago (Edited 84d ago )

..."PlayStation is dominating on every level"....

...Really???

PlayStation are soon heading into a new generation in the not to distant future. They currently have the worst customer satisfaction they've ever sustained as a company. The company is heading for a huge crash while at the same time they'll need to be planning how they are going to try and win back that favour and the build up to their new releases.

Yes financially they're winning but they're going to have to ride out this complete public corporate disaster. No one has faith in the company or the product anymore. They've damaged their public image so much this generation. Greed can kill anyone.

medman84d ago

Hulst is a disaster......

blacktiger84d ago

He would've done the same thing and fire Jim Ryan and Shuhei would be the villain. Why?
Because Elite creates the narrative and distraction for gamers, users and citizens.

Outside_ofthe_Box85d ago

More confirmation that Jim Ryan is the culprit for what has happened to Sony. Hulst needs to go too. What sucks is that a lot of the good top heads at Sony are no longer there. I wish that guys that were forced out prematurely by Dumbo Jimbo like Shuhei and Layden came back.

robtion84d ago

Yep. Yoshida was responsible for bringing one of the best games of this generation to playstation (Stellar Blade). He is an actual gamer and is in touch with what gamers want (creative, fun games, not GaaS and agenda pushing). He also seems like a genuinely nice guy if you watch some interviews. Of course they got rid of him.

darthv7285d ago

Makes you wonder if MS even thought about hiring him after Phil and Sarah were leaving. He certainly couldn't make their situation any worse.

Agent7584d ago

Microflop. After Windows XP and Xbox 360, it all went floppy.

S2Killinit84d ago

Floppy 😆
No pun intended

badz14985d ago

Yoshida for President! Jim Ryan was and always be a hack! Sony should get Shu back

Lightning7785d ago

All the gamer/consumer lead heads are gone across PS and Xbox. shuhei gone phil's gone (questionable) but gone. The future of gaming is somewhat uncertain across the board.
