"But what of the multiplayer? With Killzone 2 spearheading the next wave of PS3 titles, it'd be safe to assume that it'll be taking that assault online too. Resistance has proved a hit with PS3 owners so far, and Warhawk will surely storm PS3's servers. Yet so far Killzone 2's developer, Guerrilla, has kept schtum about what online options we can expect to see. A couple of very vague hints have been dropped, and PSW has seized upon them like a pack of hungry papps on a bleary-eyed Pete Doherty."
As PlayStation celebrates its 30th anniversary, let's explore the best PlayStation games Sony has to offer.
There's too many games to choose from
No Metal geat solid 1,2,3,4?
No Resident evil?
No Silent hill?
No Midnight club 3?
No NfS Underground 2?
No Final Fantasy?
No Burnout 3?
No Dragon quest 8?
No Days gone?
No Ace combat?
No Tekken/Soul calibur?......
just from the top of my head
PS1 era was full of great RPGs, PS2 was racing generation i would pick top 200 and even that would be just a fraction.
30 is way too low over the entire history of Playstation, I just wouldn't be able to narrow it down that much, I would pick 100 at least.
Yeah...really odd list. I get that it is personal preference and I love most of the games listed, but my list would definitely be different. I agree though, it would be incredibly difficult to come up with just 30.
I only picked first-party titles. Otherwise, I agree!
EDIT: Except for Days Gone, I don't get the love for it but you do you!
The Amsterdam-based studio reflects on its humble beginnings, beloved franchises, and growth through the years.
Up there with the top tier in the industry. Love Guerrilla Games - Horizon Burning Shores is simply STUNNING.
Same. They nailed it with Horizon. The trouble is I also want a new Killzone! Can't I just have it all?!
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!
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
One year after realease HZD sold 7.6 million.

So not a drop off.
Unless you're saying a HFW should have sold as much now as HZD sold in 5 years?
It's been 3 games, this includes Call of the Mountain. Also no, its a great improvement over HZD.
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.
@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
Wow, very impressive. I didn't know the numbers were so high for Forbidden West. Still playing through it myself
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.
Such a wonderful studio. They deserve all their success.
The Decima Engine is absolute 🔥 I'm just mad they have abandoned Killzone.
They are probably working on mutiple projects. One of them is Horizon 3, but another is a multiplaer game and probably somehting else.

Still looks secure 2 gens later... one of my favorite ps3 moments. With 3D and move the game is on another level
PC almost always ends up the best place to play games, even if it takes a while.
What would you rather play decades down the line? A game at a fixed resolution and frame, considering you have a working disc, and the hardware?
Or run it on an emulator that can update the experience all around, and let you use whatever control input you prefer?
If you insist on the former, it's really only for the sake of nostalgia.
I disagree. The main draw for consoles has always be the simplicity of just putting the disc in / downloading it and playing without worrying about anything else. The average person just wouldn’t want to deal with emulation even though it’s very important for preservation.
Youre getting flak because people on here thibk of themselves as pc wizards. But honestly most poeple try and go get emulators and romz they end up with malware.. yes theyre "easy" if you know the basics but alot of people dont. That said the fact that its taken nearly 20 years to get a sustantially better experience for ps3 games than on its native system shows the complexity of getting bc to work. Sony, if they have any intention, should just invest in a vastly better psnow experience.
jukins
Most people who emulate don't get malware, you'd have to be going to some weird sites for that to happen, heck years ago people were getting sketchier ad's resulting in malware warning on this site if you didn't have a ad-blocker lol.
That's fine if that's the main draw, but it doesn't make it a better experience, just a preference. Having the freedom to do the things you can do on PC is what the appeal of PC is. Buying a game on PC means you never have to worry about the console makers just deciding the next hardware shouldn't support the generation anymore, which means everything you bought is stuck on that hardware instead of moving up with everything else. Nintendo uses this tactic to keep reselling the same games over and over at inflated prices. Sony cut all previous gens off the PS4 and sold it back to people in a poor attempt with PSnow. While the PS5 supports PS4 games, that may not be the case in the next gen after this. No to mention shutting off all the previous stores and updates completely. Even MS stopped making new BC titles at some point, so now there's a big list with 17 pages of titles that are not playable on Xbone and are just trapped on older gen. That's not a problem on PC, the reverse happens where you only have to worry if your hardware can play the newest releases at ultra with no issue.
Shhh don't say that aloud! You're going to trigger a lot of console infidels here.
Well that's the beauty of still owning a retro console tho. Those who usually complain about emulation are just being blindly loyal to a company. Emulation is great for many reason, but if I still owned the console then I disagree nothing beats plugging it back in and going down a nostalgia trip
The RPCS3 devs are doing great work. And Kami works nicely with it too it seems.
Very neat.
I hear the pitter patter of ugly little feet. Man the gates KZ2 fans, bottom feeders and trolls on their way. Where are some air strike binoculars when you need them?.......
The game seems to be more and more promising with every new bit of news and info. Talk is one thing, execution is another. Everything sounds really ambitious. I'm hoping GG pulls this off and creates a wicked multiplayer and singleplayer mode.
.....that this game should turn out fantastic. With Sony and Guerilla games coming together to really create one hell of a game. 2008 is going to be a great year for ps3 owners.
if its as horrible as the original killzone's multiplayer we shouldnt be expecting much at all except the same sort of garbage we have come to see from Guerilla Games and their track record of making rubbish that ends up being in the bargain bin.
This is a bit of verbal pwnage I couldn't let go to waste, though I wrote it as a comment to a previous article, I feel it is appropriate for this topic.
I would say I look forward to your response, but I don't have hope for you or any of your crew of half a$$ed MS apologist to respond with anything of substance. So without further delay here it is...
Such hostile replies from the 360 "FANATICS" over a poorly written article by a little known source (The article about the PS3 winning in 2008). I highlight the word fanatics because I really hope these people who troll and are just generally forces of detraction are not the best and brightest in the 360 camp.
As I have said many times before, I challenge ANY of the 360 trolls to do an honest comparison of where the 360 was at the time just before it hit the one year mark in its life cycle like the PS3 is about to do. I guarantee that the 360 was not offering the same amount or level of quality IP's that the PS3 is offering right now. Sadly, I have not been taken up on this challenge, and with good reason, there is no argument to this question that will make the 360 look superior so its easier to ignore the question all together like some of you like to do.
Back to my fanatic comment, the true 360 fans are paying attention to their own news, happy with their purchases, and dealing with the shortcomings of their system in a mature manner, maybe some of you XBOX trolls should learn some restraint lest you get pwned like when the in game footage of KZ2 was revealed at E3.
And to all the PS3 fans, I know sometimes the nonsense that is spewed gets to you, but know that the nonsense is a product of concern and impatience. Most of these XBOX trolls are closet PS3 lovers who jumped on the 360 band wagon due to a lack of patience. Most people don't have money for two consoles, so the next best thing is to hope the system they don't have fails (this goes for both sides tho). I have been well served by Sony since their first console, and being a rational adult, I know that PR can be a bit spirited. If I have any sense, I would take performance over PR any day, and past experience showed me that Sony stands by its systems and MS has brought dirty tactics from its monopoly in operating systems to the video game industry and I don't like that. I also have basic reading comprehension and most of the time there is Hype, its the media that creates it. Case in point was the pegging of the first KZ as a Halo Killer, I challenge someone to find a Sony rep describing the game as that. Can't do it because it does not exist.
Another point that the trolls keep bringing up is that KZ1 was garbage, so Sony fans shouldn't expect anything different from KZ2, and I find this one of the funniest arguments of them all. They are basically saying a product or a company cannot learn from their past mistakes. Now for the slow people follow my train of logic for a moment because I am on a roll.
If Sony fans are fools for thinking that KZ2 might be a decent game because the first one fell a bit short, then 360 fans are fools for thinking that MS will support the 360 for any extended period of time based on their past treatment of the first XBOX.
If KZ1 has doomed GG from any future success (This is a false statement, see. KZ Liberation, but for the sake of argument lets act as if this is not the case), then MS's treatment of the first XBOX indicates its doomed to repeat the same injustice to its customers with the 360 (Failure rate and the denial of said failure rate until the problem became too big to ignore).
I know tomorrow this comment will be overshadowed behind a wall of PS3 and 360 fanboy nonsense, but I would really like an honest discussion of the issues and points I have brought up. Either the argument used to justify KZ2 bashing is flawed, or MS gets a pass from a fan base who makes decisions based on faith and a deep seated commitment to a corporation who treats its customers like crap.
I embrace any and all replies.
