LBP and Uncharted without a doubt. i won't accept any other offers

Gaetano5294d ago

U2 more than U1 imo. But LBP is just amazing. I don't think there is a game with as good community creation and sharing on consoles?

Yeah Nathan Drake is the one that shines the most, but honestly SackBoy is such a perfect mascot, who best represents community, creativity, and fun...What games should be about.

PshycoNinja5294d ago

Not to raise peoples hopes but I got inside info that more Versus XIII info will be revealed next month. To be exact, there is an 80% chance that this info will be at this years Jump Festa and a 20% chance that it will be revealed on some other day in December. This should come as no suprise to fans as we know that Square always announces something at Jump Festa.

Kran5294d ago

I think he may have meant the franchises as a whole, not just the first games in those franchises.

Mw3 define ps3 without doubt

nix5294d ago (Edited 5294d ago )

i think every game/franchise has their own story to tell. For eg. Heavenly Sword, Uncharted 1 and Resistance 1 were the first gen of games to show the power of PS3. Killzone 2 had it's own challenge and controversy. MGS4 started the chain of PS3 game of the year. there was a time when PS3 exclusives won "Game of the year" title 3 times in a row.

GT5 also had it's own huge expectation to live up to. inFamous, LBP series, Motorstorm series, God of War, Heavy Rain etc... all have different stories to tell us. Uncharted series is setting new bar in the gaming industry. in short, PS3 is the culmination of every exclusive game that has come out so far. PS brand has never been about single genre.

Though i didnt like the campaing ill have to say uncharted 3 has defined it from a technical stand point.

Have to agree with the list, I'd ad GT5 in there too though as it's the best selling exclusive.

christheredhead5294d ago

There are a ton of games that define the console. Mgs4, gran turismo, infamous, resistance, r&c, i mean the list goes on and on. It really depends on what you like. Something that ive always really enjoyed about the playstation brand is the huge diverse library of different games across different genres.

trouble_bubble5294d ago

Indeed. Someone else could just as easily pick risky ventures like Demon's Souls or Heavy Rain and make a valid, rational argument.

GribbleGrunger5294d ago

games that have been on other PS generation consoles can't 'define' the PS3. they defined the consoles they were on at the time. it should be games that appeared first on PS3 and i stand by what i said!

Uncharted and LBP!!!

damn you all for disagreeing! how dare you!

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.

solideagle16d 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

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.

DarXyde23d 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.

Soy23d ago

And then MK1 killed it again.

DivineHand12523d ago (Edited 23d 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.

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

Cacabunga24d ago

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

S2Killinit24d ago (Edited 24d 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.

neutralgamer199224d ago

S2Killinit

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

Cacabunga24d 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

1nsomniac24d ago (Edited 24d 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.

medman24d ago

Hulst is a disaster......

blacktiger24d 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_Box24d 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.

robtion24d 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.

darthv7224d 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.

Agent7524d ago

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

S2Killinit24d ago

Floppy 😆
No pun intended

badz14924d ago

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

Lightning7724d 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.
