PlayStation 3 Owners Be Proud!

[Buland]

~PlayStation 3~
Why PS3 Owners Should Be Proud!

The seventh generation era of gaming has brought not only great consoles of amazing quality, but also a much hyper audience. Despite the fan base of today's generation being lesser than that of the preceding one, the amount of support a respective console gets is far superior to that of the sixth generation.

In 2005 Microsoft released the hyped Xbox 360 - the one console that catered the thousands a year before the Japanese systems came out. Upon release, the Japanese consoles, particularly the PlayStation 3 suffered the greatest of blows. After two generations of enjoying the bounties of success, Sony was finally to give up its reign of power and hand it over to Microsoft. However, we all know which console has surpassed both the mighty giants in terms of popularity and accessibility. That's right, the Nintendo Wii has been catering to the casual gamers, which, in comparison to other types of gamers, make up most of the gaming population of the world.

However, Sony was not ready to admit defeat. At least not just yet. Microsoft aimed for the Xbox 360 too early, which gave Sony an upperedge in this war to make their console superior. But despite the reliability, and the quality of its hardware, the PlayStation 3 had no software backing. As a result, 2006 belonged to the Xbox 360.

But in that year, the PlayStation 3 had managed to learn from its overconfident mistakes and taught the PS3 users of that time to persevere. Through patience, the PlayStation 3 owners, who were cornered by the Xbox 360, were finally out of their shell and can now claim their PS3 ownership proudly. In only a year, the PlayStation 3 managed to attain such a strong software list, that it now has more exclusive titles that in its main competitor - the 360.

METAL GEAR SOLID 4: GUNS OF THE PATRIOTS

There hasn't been a game, at least in my opinion, which can ever surpass the complexity of Metal Gear Solid's storyline. I mean, the plot of this game is filled with twists and turns (which is a good thing!), and you're never disappointed by an MGS. As a result, Metal Gear Solid 4 is no different. Having a strong fan base on the PlayStation 2, MGS4 brought a miracle of a game to the PlayStation 3 console, giving it the legendary Solid Snake as a counter to MasterChief himself.

KILLZONE 2

After suffering massive humiliation by critics for the original Killzone, Guerilla Games held their heads up high and after a success with Killzone: Liberation, they finally released the main course! At first, people will mistake this game for being as bad as its prequel on the PlayStation 2, but this title is not to be looked by its cover. A first person shooter has never been this much fun. Introducing a great campaign and an amazingly fun online play, Killzone 2 is the FPS the PlayStation 3 audience have been waiting for!

NINJA GAIDEN SIGMA

The term 'Sigma' has been rightfully placed in this exclusive title. The original Ninja Gaiden, released exclusively for the Xbox 360, was a great hit and a successful title. Which is one of the reasons that encouraged Team Ninja to make a revamped edition exclusively for the PlayStation 3. Sigma was the inevitable result and it is bigger and better. With improved graphics and gameplay, Ninja Gaiden Sigma has certainly given the PS3 owners a game to brag about when compared to its cousin on the 360.

LITTLE BIG PLANET

LittleBigPlanet truly is 'The Next Big Thing'. This exclusive title has been praised by several critics for its innovative structure and fun gameplay. The game is one of the few family oriented games on the PlayStation 3 and as such has been spotlighted several times. The ability to create your own levels and to share them with your friends is clearly an awesome feature. Not to mention the amount of customisation in this game is limitless! And with free online play, this game gets even better as online is what makes this game reach its peak! A must-buy for gamers who just want to have fun with cute little sack-boys!

INFAMOUS

When Sucker Punch decides on a new game, the successful Sly Cooper series comes to mind. However, they cooked up something even bigger and sucker punched the world with inFamous! This open-world, superhero title has a two sided story - one in which you are evil, and the other in which you are good. What really makes this game a blast is that it might be THE best open-world game for 2009!

RESISTANCE 2

With the release of Resistance: Fall of Man, fans have been awaiting the much anticipated sequel! And guess what? This time, they get more than their money's worth! The game features a heavy campaign with great boss battles and a great plot as well. Not to mention its online 60 player matches are epic! A First Person Shooter that really picked up the PlayStation 3's pace, this game is one of the best in its genre.

WARHAWK

Like the PlayStation 3, this game has come back from the grave as well! After dusting off the cobwebs of Warhawk we find an exclusive title which has taken advantage of the PSN's free accessibility and put it to good use! There's not much to say except that Warhawk is one of the most fun online experience you'll ever play and its splitscreen four player offline is just as fun!

VALKYRIA CHRONICLES

With all the military and shooting themed games being released, what can an RPG do? Why, take on the shooting genre of course! What Sega did with their Valkyria Chronicles is that they have included the strategy and tactical form of gameplay into an RPG, making it twice as much fun! This title certainly does show the variety of games the PlayStation 3 has to offer (not saying 360 doesn't have as well).

HEAVENLY SWORD

Heavenly Sword is just another reminder of how powerful the PlayStation 3 really is. Maintaining a reasonable frame rate, this title, though short, packs a punch! Its combat mechanics have really been worked on and the fact that you can fight so many villains in one screen while not worrying about the frame rate is a pleasant one. Ninja Theory have thrown in just another great exclusive.

GRAN TURISMO 5: PROLOGUE

Revealing only a mere fraction of the real thing, Polyphony Digital have permitted us to feast upon the highly anticipated, Gran Turismo 5! This title, though only a "Prologue" of the actual thing, is a lot more than expected. With sharp controls, technically proficient graphics, and great sound effects, we can only imagine how well the actual game would be like!

UNCHARTED: DRAKE'S FORTUNE

What happens when you're uncharted on an island? Total Epicness! This game, also being one of the PS3's earliest titles, has been praised by critics for its great story, gameplay, and visuals. The game is one of a kind (aside from the genre) and its even better knowing that there's a sequel coming this October! Uncharted: Drake's Fortune may not seem much from the cover, but upon opening that box you have endorsed yourself on a journey you will not forget!

Still think owning a PlayStation 3 isn't worth all that? Well, think again! Not only does the system already have a strong backing of great exclusives, but it will soon be getting more!

RATCHET AND CLANK FUTURE: A CRACK IN TIME

Retrieving a great amount of success on the PlayStation 2, Ratchet and his trusty sidekick Clank have now made it to the next generation! Having already gone through the gruesome adventures in Tools of Destruction, and A Quest for Booty, the dynamic duo return in A Crack In Time with this title being the best of the series so far!

Release: 27th October, 2009

NINJA GAIDEN SIGMA 2

The best of Ninja Gaiden 2 and more is finally coming exclusively to the PlayStation 3 this year! Team Ninja will really outdo themselves with their latest and greatest Ninja Gaiden/Sigma title!

Release: 29th September, 2009

UNCHARTED 2: AMONG THIEVES

For those who enjoyed Uncharted: Drake's Fortune are going to love this great title coming soon for the PlayStation 3! This game contains all the epicness that the previous game had and more! Now featuring online multiplayer mode as well! Could it be any better than this?

Release: 13th October, 2009

DEMON'S SOULS

What happens when humanity has to ready itself for extinction? Prepare for an epic battle, as The Old One will not take it easy on you! Featuring stunning HD visuals and a totally different way of playing RPGs, Demon's Souls won't be easy to forget!

Release: 6th October, 2009
​

MASSIVE ACTION GAME (M.A.G.)

What can I say about this title? Featuring 256 player online matches is the greatest idea ever! A 'heavy' game, MAG will be a hardcore FPS gamer's paradise!

Release: 26th January, 2010

WHITE KNIGHT CHRONICLES

After already being released for the PlayStation 3 in Japan only, White Knight Chronicles will now be presented to the worldwide audience! The plot may be simple, but the game has yet to reveal what it can truly do! You, as the main protagonist, are able to transform into a huge knight as you go about trying to rescue a princess.

Release: Q1 2010

HEAVY RAIN: THE ORIGAMI KILLER

After showing off a small portion of a title-in-the-making, Quantic Dream have finally announced that Heavy Rain's debut on the PlayStation 3 will be sometime next year! The game features near-to-life graphics and, what is said to be, a more "mature" themed storyline unlike many 'M' rated games we've played to date. How far are you prepared to go to save someone you love?

Release: Q1 2010
​

FINAL FANTASY VERSUS XIII

Square Enix has always been persistent in making the most out of their Final Fantasy games. With the release of the CD, they shifted from Nintendo to Sony simply because of the added space CD provided them with. As a result, the same is now happening with DVD and BD. Final Fantasy Versus XIII (13) has some of THE best graphics I have ever seen in a video game, and best of all - its a Final Fantasy! Like all other 12 parts, this one is no less epic, but all the more greater!

Release: 2010

GOD OF WAR III

Having conquered the PlayStation 2 console, Kratos had given himself a break. However, while he remained dormant, mega exclusives had taken over the PlayStation 3 system. Now, Kratos will reawaken to take back what was rightfully his and will lead this console war to its end!

Release: 2010


So, with all these amazing exclusives coming out (not to mention all the amazing multiplatforms also being released) the PlayStation 3 owners can really come out of their hiding place and proudly call themselves a PS3 owner. Sure the games cost a lot more than they do on the 360, but you won't find such epic titles anywhere else except for the PS3. Its worth the money after all!

I hope not. The reason I've made this article is because I see a lot of Xbox 360 topics. Now, I didn't make it out of jealousy or anything but I saw the lack of PS3 related topics or something of the sort. So, I decided to enter the fray. This, according to my intention, is just to say something for the PS3, not something against the other two consoles.

 

[Shyber]

You're talking about the best of the best PS3 has to offer yet you missed out on Gran Turismo 5
I think White Knight and Heavy Rain deserves a mention too.

 

[hasanJ]

things get too much dull with only PC vs 360 since no one defends the PS3

good to see some enthusiasm from the PS front
keep it up Buland

 

[Gizmo]

@Buland This is a very good Article/Topic you have here.Did u write it urself?

 

[Muaaz]

Did you really write all of this ?

Anyways , this is a perfect thread to salute the awesomeness of the great titles that have come and are yet to come on PS3 . No doubt , PS has had the greatest games library this gen and last gen as well .

I don't think there are any ops for this .

 

[R3Z0N]

Great article dude, could go on the main page

[SolitarySoldier]

Nice job bro! Great article. Really PS3 do have something too awesome to be proud of.

But some great games are missing in your list such as GT5P, GT5 and Heavy Rain.

Anyways, my top 3 from your list are:

MGS4
LBP
Uncharted

(1)

 

[Em0s]

Great article bro. Keep it up !!!

 

[soulcalibur]

Excellent article bro.....

 

[Chandoo]

just some random nitpicking, don't mind me guys.

the PlayStation 3 managed to attain such a strong software list, that it now has more exclusive titles that in its main competitor - the 360.

that's .. not true if it's sheer numbers you're talking about.

No doubt , PS3 has had the greatest games library this gen and last gen as well .

debatable, and last gen would be PS2, yes ?

 

[Gizmo]

No doubt , PS3 has had the greatest games library this gen and last gen as well .

Like Chandoo said it is debatable,Both the PS3 and 360 have a good number of good exclusives,but let's leave that for another thread,And not ruin the PS3's glory

 

[Necrokiller]

No doubt , PS3 has had the greatest games library this gen and last gen as well.

No way man. Nothing beats PS2's library. Remember the Crash Bandicoot series (PSOne/PS2)?

 

[Muaaz]

Sorry , I meant to say PlayStation . Did you see the 'last gen' part ?

 

[Buland]

You're talking about the best of the best PS3 has to offer yet you missed out on Gran Turismo 5
I think White Knight and Heavy Rain deserves a mention too.

I... can't believe I actually forgot all about them! I'll edit the article.

@Buland This is a very good Article/Topic you have here.Did u write it urself?

Of course I did.

Great article dude, could go on the main page

 

[Gizmo]

Of course I did.

Nice work.It's good to see the PS3's getting some attention

 

[ShayZ]

A lot remains to be seen on the PS3 front. At the moment the 360 is an overall better experience but i still have hope for the PS3 to pass by. hope that happens before the Xbox 720 though

 

[Buland]

The article has been edited a bit. GT5 has been added to the list of games, as well as Heavy Rain, White Knight Chronicles, and Demon's Souls!
