I agree, also I'd just like to say that Infamous 2 is my second favorite game of this generation (next to Uncharted 3). It's just a shame that I2 didn't sell very well compared to other exclusives.

I'm still expecting a third Infamous game though.

pangitkqb5323d ago

Here here! I felt the EXACT same about these titles. They really deserve mote attention and praise.

Controversy5323d ago

I would LOVE a 3rd Infamous. Festival of blood was freakin' awesome.

reynod5323d ago (Edited 5323d ago )

Despite what fans on this site would like to believe i think PS3 really only has Uncharted as a great exclusive, other than that there isnt much worth mentioning.

Shooters are a dime a dozen. Games like Resistance, Killzone, Infamous etc are very ordinary tbh. Sure the fans here are gonna flame me for saying this, however Major part of PS3 exclusives are vastly over rated.

@yesmynameissumo

So why are KZ servers dead if the game is so good? Id list ya games from 10years back which still have servers populated simply because they are that dam good.

Lol at multiple accounts spamming disagree.

yesmynameissumo5323d ago (Edited 5323d ago )

@reynod
Spoken like a person who hasn't played any of the games you listed. Thanks for the laugh.

EDIT: Why am I playing KZ online right now if the servers are dead? Every game sees a decrease in online activity as MORE games release. It's the nature of things. Good games still have a community and life in them. Demon's Souls, KZ2/3, U2, hell Resistance 2 is still played.

@yesmynameissumo

Couldn't have said it better myself. Let him believe what he wants to, though.

SoapShoes5323d ago (Edited 5323d ago )

@reynod - You could say the exact same thing about Xbox exclusives since it's all shooters and the same thing about most multiplatform games. Modern Warfare 3 is pretty much the same as it has always been and not much different from any other shooter.

You're hilarious, you downplay PS3 games yet it's the same way for any other platform(except for maybe the Wii).

*Edit* At below, so that would mean you hate all games because PC exclusives and multiplatform games have everything you just complained about.

reynod5323d ago (Edited 5323d ago )

@estranged

Oh i agree, Xbox exclusives are way overated, Specially games like Gears of war 3 are terrible. In fact I dont think Xbox has any exclusive worth mentioning at all.

Point being exclusives are over rated in general its only fuel for the fanboys.

@mendicant

People blindly support exclusives of their platform as if its the holygrail i quite dont see the reasoning behind it though, actually its mostly just people on this site. In the real world aside afew handful of exclusives not many sell well. MS has a way of hyping some of their exclusives, yet aside those i dont see anything selling in the multi million mark.

mendicant5323d ago (Edited 5323d ago )

@reynod,

I'd have to agree with your original comment. And even then, I wasn't thrilled with UC3. If anything I'd say that ps3 exclusives are overrated.

Why o why5323d ago (Edited 5323d ago )

Reynod

Nobody here gives your opinion any credence. If you dont like whats out there then fair enough but dont tlk sh*t. I, like many others, play the good to the great games whether they're exclusive or multi. I cant eat beluga caviar every day...or watch something of the level of memento every time i go cinema. Sometimes a tasty burger or an action film will feed my need. You sound bitter to the point you talk about empty servers like you just checked. Thanks for the laugh

@mendicant. If i remember correctly you dont like much of what comes out of sonys stables. Each to their own. Im not a fan of everything they churn out either but thank fcuk they have MORE choice of a higher quality to play on top of the wide choice of good to great multiplatform games and the few 360 exclusives. Kinda makes me a winner. I dont get pissed when the 360 crowd hype games.....we're all gamers... and whats wrong with expressing that.....seems the only overhyped games are on the 'other' console for some people....funny that

@reynod/mendicant
Taste is subjective and I won't fault you for what you don't like, but to write off so many games without some sense of objectivity will always earn you disagrees. Multiple accounts need not apply. LBP sells millions, wins several GOTYs including the Academy of Interactive Arts&Sciences', and is one of the highest rated series this gen (including this year) but isn't worth mentioning? That's worth a disagree I'd say.

The GodofWar series has equally high scores & sales along with MGS4 & GT5, which itself has outsold the behemoth that is GearsofWar. The ol' guard still has its audience among the industry's contemporary leaders.

Heavy Rain taking a risk, selling 2 mil' and winning awards is forgettable? There'd be no Dark Souls had Demon's Souls not exploded. You don't consider Demon's Souls an exclusive worth mentioning?

Resistance & Killzone being critically and technically right up there at or near the top of the FPS genre (eg. 2011 Rage, F3AR, Duke, Bulletstorm, Flashpoint, Homefront, Crysis, Brink, Section8, BF3, Goldeneye Reloaded) isn't an accomplishment? Surely breaking the FPS 90% meta barrier with COD & Halo is worth some props.

inFamous being ordinary and overrated? I don't know of a lot of open world non-crime dramas this gen that also double as million selling non-licensed superhero games. I think it's unique enough in that regard.

KZ servers aren't "dead" either. But if I haven't been on lately you'll have to forgive me as I've had a busy year that's also included ICO/SOTC, GOW Origins, Motorstorm, Yakuza, & DCUO. Then there's the multiplats. Time is at a premium. AC Revelations is out next week.

spektical5323d ago

its selling more than IF1.. I guess for me thats all that matters. This game will reach 2milion eventually.

sphinct5323d ago

I hope so. What a great series.

LolololRumz5323d ago

Infamous 2 was an amazing game.

The evil ending for me what so well put together it was un-real

dgonza405322d ago

if you dont tear up in the roof scene, i question yout possession of a soul. lol

ReservoirDog3165323d ago

I would say inFamous 2 and kz3. Both some of the most fun I've had this year and neither set the world on fire like they should've.

fluffydelusions5323d ago

Infamous 2 had great review scores just like R3 but neither sold really well unfortunately so I don't know if you could consider it "underrated".

Knushwood Butt5323d ago

Yep, you saved me from typing the same thing.

LolololRumz5323d ago

@Reynod

Infamous is ordinary? Have you actually played it?

I can safely say I haven't seen anything like Infamous

iamnsuperman5323d ago

Infamous 2, for me, was amazing.

SoapShoes5323d ago

Resistance 3 was my favorite FPS this year and by far the best in the series. It was fantastic!

rob60215323d ago

I agree Resistance 3 was a very solid game it's a shame it got overshadowed this year and people didn't have the money to buy it.

Majin-vegeta5323d ago

I will be picking it up R3,infamous 2 and other games i missed during black friday.

SoapShoes5323d ago

Well I did notice it was coming back up the charts on Amazon so it might do decent this holiday if people are buying it for presents.

koehler835323d ago

I think Infamous 2 will be my favorite game of the year. I couldn't put it down until I got the platinum.

Silly gameAr5323d ago (Edited 5323d ago )

Why not brag? It's good to have a variety of games to chose from, then one or two. Some are going to do better then others. That's a given. I always thought that article was nothing more then flamebait when it was first submitted, and my opinion still hasn't changed.

I think this article is a continuation of that one somewhat.

pat_11_55323d ago

I think your flame bait.

Seriously though, why not brag? Because it accomplishes nothing and the statistics show that the majority of PlayStation owners aren't buying these titles. Sales stats don't lie.

Why o why5323d ago (Edited 5323d ago )

If gamers from the other console always purchased games youd think more would be released yoy NOT less. For every gears theres an alan wake and people seldom have worldwide figures just north america usually then the devs release the actual figures but by then its old news...u know like the tiny retraction newspapers print on page 9 to appologise about printing misinformation which they put on front page a month ago..... Another net phenomenon is the notion that the 300 or so fans of x y or z console that you meet on gaming forums equate to 6 million or so gamers out there so those 300 braggers should somehow magically equate to 5 million sales day 0... Isnt it obvious we are but a fart in the wind compared to how many types of countless gamers out there. We're just the types that come to places like n4g...surely people shold be able to work out we dont represent everybody out there....surely??

For me games like yakuza 3 and 4 should get more exposure and recognition. I put a lot into both and found them solid even after countless hours. More should give them a try.

Resistance 3 is a Classic, 13 Years On

Insomniac Games' thunderous conclusion to its acclaimed first-person shooter series remains an under-appreciated work of art.

Sony needs to remake the trilogy on ps5

CrimsonWing69571d ago

I’d rather them do a new game in the world of Resistance.

Cacabunga571d ago (Edited 571d ago )

I honestly liked the first one most..
killzone 2 and 3 outshined Resistance 2 and 3 for me in every aspect.

Eonjay571d ago

I absolutely adored Resistance 3 but they do not NEED to remake this game. They should do something that they enjoy and if it is Resistance then so be it.

Mr_cheese571d ago

Loved resistance 3, played the whole thing on co op with the move controller and gun, was very different!

Resistance 2 online was the best

gamerz571d ago

Me too, but also on a 3D tv! R3 was one of the few games that got plastic rifle panning motion right.

isarai572d ago

Such a criminally underrated series, id love a remaster collection of the trilogy.

preciousdeath572d ago

Yes! ...and make them PSVR2 compatible.

Pedrof572d ago

Not a classic in my opinion ; a pretty mediocre PS3 shooter as far as I'm concerned, not bad, not the worst of the trilogy, but certainly not great. Killzone 2 was miles ahead of it (and of most FPSs even today as far as I'm concerned).

pwnmaster3000571d ago

Naw man.
Resistance 1 will always be GOATed for me.
I remember playing all night on multiplayer. Such a fun game.

P_Bomb571d ago

Ah yeah, R1! I cut my teeth on the one-shot Walmart map, lol! Miss that.

gamerz571d ago

Played that demo soooooo many damn times since it was the only thing to play for a while at launch. That and motorstorm.

refocusedman571d ago

killzone was amazing but resistance was great as well. althpugh theybwrre both fps, I think that served different purposes.

JEECE571d ago

Thanks for turning Insomniac into a Marvel studio.

ApocalypseShadow571d ago (Edited 571d ago )

Although I agree on original games and creativity over licensed IP, especially something like Ghost of Tsushima. But Sony's looking at that series selling less and less overall with the 3rd estimated to not even sell 2 million. Gamers who say they loved it didn't really buy it.

While Spiderman the series has sold over 50 million not counting PC. And Spider-Man 2 is over 11 million so far. If you had their business and had to make their decisions, what would you do in their shoes?

JEECE571d ago

@ApocalypseShadow

Umm, that's exactly my point lol. Insomniac made great, original IP games and people didn't buy them because they were too busy lapping up yearly CODs and Assassin's Creeds, so naturally Sony/Insomniac had to pivot to something else.

Knushwood Butt571d ago

So you are saying 1 was the worst?
I respect your opinion but strongly disagree.

I'll start with what I didn't like about 3:
- OK, Nathan Hale is gone but new player character totally forgettable. Can't even remember their name.
- Awful forced in 3D. Just look at KZ3 for 3D done well.
- Online multiplayer that paled in comparison to 1 and 2. Put hundreds of hours into the first two. Probably less than 10 hours into 3.
- Campaign was OK but I played the other two more, especially 1.

Pedrof571d ago

1 had my favorite gunplay of the trilogy (no need for COD iron sight) so I guess my worst would be 2. At least 3 wrapped up the storyline, supported the move controller and had prettier graphics. But in my book, none of the three really stood out. From that era, I prefered Singularity for example and obviously Killzone 2.

I wish they'd bring back the Resistance 2 multiplayer. God that co-op was so much fun.

Alexious1109d ago

I want it too. Make it co-op as well.

-Foxtrot1109d ago

Yeah they had a lightning bolt in the shape of a question mark at the end of Infamous 2

They always went off the good ending for Cole so I think for Delsin it should be the bad ending

What he did in the bad ending, absorbing everyone’s powers, seemed like he was going to turn into something powerful.

Makes you feel like he could have been the real Beast and John was just an anomaly because of them messing with time

Sets up a Cole vs Delsin showdown

lukasmain1109d ago

How would fans feel about a reboot? You know to bring a new audience in? Not a good idea? Good idea?

anast1108d ago

Not a god idea. They let it sit for too long and the game hasn't been strong enough to carry itself all these years. There is so much other stuff out there right now.

masterfox1109d ago

Second Son was released in 2014 was an amazing game visually and gameplay wise, sometimes I play it again on the PS5 and seeing it run at 60 fps is something to behold(yes an almost 10 year old game), if you haven't done that on your PS5 try it you won't be disappointed, pure eye candy, a PS5 exclusive of Infamous would be amazing no doubt.

gold_drake1109d ago

meh, i want Cole to come back.

or maybe a reboot. with cole.

Resistance 3 is such a great game. One of my all time bests.

cooperdnizzle1438d ago

Couldn’t agree more. Still love It as a shooter to this day.

Just something about that game. I really wish they would just do a remaster, don’t even need a remake just bring it up to todays out put, touch up a few things if any, and I am there to buy it day one.

Of course I would love a remake built from the ground up. As long as they treated it like Shadow of the Colossus, or close to those type of remake. Wouldn’t want it to get the RE treatment…. Just because the game is already paced so perfect and hits all the right beats that I wouldn’t touch that aspect.
