Good PS3-only games

[Alleged_Alec]

Okay, firstly: I wasn't able to search if such a thread has been made already because my internet speed is currently at the same level as dial-up.

I was thinking of buying a PlayStation 3, since I've recently lost all confidence in my Xbox 360 when it started scratching my discs. However, I don't just want to impulse-buy a 400 euro console, so I hoped that you guys could tell me about some of the good PS3-only games that are out there.

Infamous, it's a great sandbox/super hero game
Metal Gear Solid 4, Uncharted, (I personally hated it but) Little big Planet seems to get very good reviews

LBP.

I'm sure I saw this thread earlier today.

 

[Fallen_Hitokiri]

Infamous, LBP, MGS 4

 

[SyIo-]

Infamous and MGS4

From what I've heard the new Ratchet and Clank games are very good PS3 exclusives.
Not to mention The Last Guardian comes out for PS3...

I enjoyed Uncharted, Heavenly Sword, and Folklore, in addition to MGS4 which is indeed more movie than game. You can also try Resistance 1 & 2 as well as Killzone 2, but I personally hate shooters on the PS3 - I own all 3 of these, but they just don't feel quite right compared to their 360 counterparts. Just my opinion.

Oh, and RENT Little Big Planet first, because there's really not much to the game if you don't plan on designing/sharing custom levels.

Thanks for the responses so far. I do have a question for all of you though: will I still be able to enjoy MSG4 even if I haven't played the previous MSG games?

Not as much, but yes. Despite what everyone says about it being more movie than game, it isn't. The gameplay is solid and there is more of it than story, cinematic, etc.

I saw that thread recently which has what you are looking for. It mentions multiplat games too though.

Bollocks I say! Playing that game with friends is so much fun that it's unexplainable. It's the one reason I would recommend buying it.

I doubt it, the stealth is very fun for just about anyone but the game is so heavily story based that you'll probably hate it. It's worth a rent and I think there is a demo somewhere but you've got slow net.

Since you have slow net I have to ask - did you get that "new xbox experience" or whatever it's called? The thing with the avatars? - well you can install games to the hard drive so I assume if you have the space you can install all your games and the discs won't scratch.

It's only temporary though; we have some issues with our wireless network, or so it seems.

Anyhoo, yes, I am able of installing my games onto my xbox. However, that would cost me another 120 or so euros because I'd need a bigger hard drive and I would still need the discs, some of which are already severely damaged. Not only that, but I wont have an xbox for about three weeks because I'm sick of the damn console and it's flaws. I've had several errors with it already, including a RRoD, which mysteriously fixed itself after leaving the damn console untouched for a week.

On the other hand, I'd buy a PS3 pretty much on future potential, with God of War 3, the Last Guardian and Heavy Rain as the three main titles. However, Killzone 2, inFamous, LBP and Folklore are games I'd probably like as well, so there would certainly be some titles for me. Not only that, but the PS3 has most of the games which the Xbox does as well, only better looking...

UT3 is on the 360 as well, but UT3 on the PS3 has free online and mod support (that's mods for your characters, downloadable maps, basically everything on the PC can be downloaded and used on the PS3).

Really? Did not know that...maybe I should go get that now.
Oh and inFamous, Resistance, Killzone 2, and Ratchet and Clank.

Try the frag fx controller. It's like having PC controls on a console!
