PS3 Exclusives That Disappointed, We Expected More

GamingUnion.net: Last week we chronicled the very best exclusive titles produced for Sony's big black behemoth - games that represent creativity, execution and vision at their finest. This time we're going to take a look at the console's seedy underbelly, so to speak.

Haze makes it onto any list that starts with 'disappointing', regardless of the genre.

mephman5538d ago

Oh Haze.

The people who bought that really got trolled. I can't believe it sold as many as it did.

ikkeweer5538d ago (Edited 5538d ago )

I bought it for 5 Euros last year. Apart from the dialogue it was ok. 5 bucks well spent.
Also, I really want to play Lair, I heard its pretty fun after they released the patch.

And RE2 should never be on that list anyways.

MaxXAttaxX5538d ago

Seeing as how RE2 is in there, I assume that when they say "disappointing" they don't necessarily mean "bad".

Sharingan_no_Kakashi5538d ago

dead horse beating article is beating dead horse.

gman_2975538d ago

Yeah, it was. But I got it at GameStop for free after doing one of their "Buy 2, get 1 free" deals or whatever. For a game that would've been $10, it wasn't that bad. But I can see everyone being disappointed due to all of the hype.

Moral of the story: DON'T OVERHYPE SHIT THAT DOESN'T HAVE A HISTORY.

You could say, "Well, they made TimeSplitters!" Did they make this a game meant for humor and arcade action? No? Did they make any previous TimeSplitters for this generation of consoles? No? Thing about it people. It'll save you at least your disappointment.

Ducky5538d ago

You want history?
It's a mystery.

thugbob5538d ago

KZ3 should be on the list in my opinion.

Haze did disappoint a lot. The game itself is pretty decent, but the online co-op was ridiculous. All the TK-ing going around was so effin' annoying.

Hardedge5538d ago

Hahah, good on your part then, you missed out on a lot of frustration.

cfountain5538d ago

i personally enjoyed White Knight Chronicles and Resistance 2. Im also planning on getting WKC2 and the PSP version and Resistance 3.

mephman5538d ago

Loved Resistance 2 as well, but it didn't live up to what I expected from the game. Multiplayer was great, single-player... not so much.

DrHouse5538d ago

Well resistance never really had a solid story, the same goes for Killzone. AND resistance is arguably the best multiplayer offering of all the ps3 exclusives.
KZ2 could have held that but those awful controls ruined it, kz3 isnt much better either.

MaxXAttaxX5538d ago

Killzone actually has a good story. They just haven't applied it well enough into the game.
Resistance' multiplayer isn't THE best, but it's definitely one of the better ones.

You say it was awful, I say it was unlike everything else.

Hardedge5538d ago

Loved it too, but it really was quite a disappointment.

Unknown_SNAKE5538d ago

yeah me too i enjoyed resistance 2 in my opinion Afrika instead of Resistance too

remanutd555538d ago

i loved White Knight Chronicles , cant wait for WKC 2 and WKC psp

cfountain5538d ago

me too. too many people letting reviews keep them from playing good games this gen.

Redempteur5538d ago (Edited 5538d ago )

WKC only problem is that his story was cut in 2. i wonder what will reviewers nitpick next time to dumb down this very good game.

Dasteru5538d ago

Beat WKC 3 times and enjoyed it, ill admit the combat system was half baked and the story was somewhat cliche (which is to be expected of most jrpg's anyway) but overall the game was good. hopefully the rerelease of it that's coming with WKC2 will fix up the combat system a bit.

gravemaker5538d ago

White Knight Chronicles is a very good game, definitely not dissapointing

Infernostew5538d ago

Only disappointing thing about WKC was that it was way too easy other than that the game was fantastic!

gravemaker5538d ago

if you found it too easy, you should play some online)

Infernostew5538d ago

I only played a little bit, GR3. My friend who convinced me to get the game week 1 said he'd play online a ton. We only played a bit and the moron didn't even finish the single player.

Video Game Franchises in Danger of Being Forgotten

The gaming industry moves at such a pace that it’s not surprising we’ve seen countless franchises fall into obscurity over the years.

Im surprised that a game with a heritage of Medal of Honor is in this list.

cthulhucultist573d ago

There is a rumour that Driver 1 & 2 remasters will be released for Switch and presumably for other systems as well.

https://www.gamingbible.com...

Not sure however whether this results into new games in the near future.

HellspawnPR1981573d ago

Ninja Gaiden? Splinter Cell? Tenchu? Virtua Fighter? Killer Instinct? Killzone?

DefenderOfDoom2573d ago

I would very much enjoy
a new dedicated single player Killzone campaign. With a fun multi-player.

cthulhucultist573d ago

Tenchu and Killer Instict would be great indeed!

Unfortunately new Killzone game does not seem to be in the works

Virtua Fighter is going to receive a new entry!

https://www.dualshockers.co...

Splinter Cell is likely to be one of the remasters launching next year (not sure whether this has to do anything with the remake previously announced)

https://toronto.ubisoft.com...

HellspawnPR1981573d ago

Yeah, read the news about a new Virtua Fighter and I am so ready for it. Splinter Cell at this point I don't believe anything Ubisoft says plus I don't think modern day Ubisoft can make a decent stealth game. They will likely fuck it up.

Inverno573d ago

Basically everything at this point as companies have no concern with preservation.

Ranking the Resistance Games From Worst To Best

While it's been on ice for as long as it was around, the Resistance franchise has no shortage of quality.

Knushwood Butt1496d ago

My take:

Single player
3, 2, 1

Multiplayer
3, 1, 2

Overall
3, 2, 1

I beat the lengthy single player in 1 multiple times and spent hours in the online too. Plus 1 featured my home town! Special mention to the audio design in 1: playing that with surround headphones blew me away.

Note: I have the platinum for Resistance 2.

Eidolon1495d ago

Resistance 1 MP will always be my favorite. Call it nostalgia or whatever, but that was my jam, felt more balance, natural.

Miraak82 1495d ago

i have the platinium too , 10k kills in online ranked matches was no joke . Took me 3-4 months straight grinding but it was fun . To put it in perspective you only got like 25 kills per match if you were 1st place every match that's at Least 400 matches in 1st

Sciurus_vulgaris1496d ago

I only played the 3 main Resistance titles. My ranking would be;
1. Resistance 3
2. Resistance: Fall of Man
3. Resistance 2

GoodGuy091496d ago

Man I loved 3's campaign. Another gem stuck on the ps3 and who knows if insomniac will go back to the franchise.

fr0sty1495d ago

Resistance, Warhawk, MAG, Motorstorm, there's so many first party gems on PS3 that Sony has just left to die...

P_Bomb1496d ago

Never played Burning Skies but I still have Retribution.

monkey6021495d ago

Burning Skies was about 3 hours long and rather inconsequential. You haven't missed anything

porkChop1495d ago

Honestly, Burning Skies was shit. There's no two ways about it. At first I thought it looked terrible, then I second guessed myself. Big mistake.

darthv721494d ago

Retribution has this really cool feature where you could use a PS3 to link a controller to it and play. So if you had a 2000 or 3000 hooked to a tv, you can use a real controller. All of this predates the PSP Go's ability to sync a sixaxis to it via bluetooth.

Yui_Suzumiya1495d ago

Resistance 3 was shocking and brilliant. Loved it.
