Okay, so what are some good PS3 exclusives?
 

I've got the cash to throw around, and a blu ray player would be nice (I have a HD DVD player, but there are exclusives on both sides). However, I own a 360, and most multiplatform games generally have the better versions on 360. You can argue that point if you want, but really, what's going to sell me on a PS3 is stuff I DON'T already have access to.

Problem is, I haven't been paying attention to the exclusives. Any that are worth the while? Keep in mind, I'm not going to be guying any FPS games. I just don't like them. Sorry, shooter fans, I'm not trying to insult you....

I hear a lot of the exclusives are pretty weak, and I know Sony's losing exclusives, but I keep hearing they've got some nice ones, too. Folklore looks interesting, but what else is there?

Final Fantasy XIII/Final Fantasy vs. XIII

If you're talking about games that are already out, the only ones that come to mind are motorstaorm, Ratchet and Clank, and Heavenly Sword. Although R & C is the only one among those which can hang with 360's top titles.

I will also be getting one soon, as I want a blu ray player, and there are enough games out now, and upcoming where I can now warrant purchasing one. Although I do like FPS games.

I hear Heavenly Sword's exceptionally short, otherwise I'd probably be all over that. R&C I hear nothing but good stuff aboot though.

Ninja Gaiden Sigma and Uncharted: Drake's Fortune are both suppose to be pretty good. You can also get PAIN from the PSN which is really fun but not much content with it right now.

LittleBigPlanet is one to watch as well. It got pushed back but should still turn out pretty well...at least I hope. And Metal Gear Solid 4 will turn out worthy of the console itself. You might also Warhawk if you're going to play online. I'm not a fan of it but it seems to be liked amongst some. Another TPS but it mixes in air combat as well and that is by far the best part of the game.

Other than that there's not many exclusives that have done that well. Actually, there aren't many exclusives at all.

Ninja Gaiden isn't technicaly an exclusive.

MGS4

Oh yeah, Uncharted was the one I was trying to remember. That shit looks HOT.

NG is a port of a game I already own. It has some new stuff, but it's not really an exclusive title. I think I've got enough stuff to make it worth my while.

Well. I was gonna mention Haze. But since you mentioned you ain't a big FPS fan, that goes out the window.

You might like Uncharted. I didn't care much about it when I downloaded the demo from the store.

On the multiplayer end, there's Warhawk. Pretty cool, but gets boring really fast. That might have gone away since the new expansion just got released.

Don't waste your money.

I'm digging uncharted so far. I'm thinking about grabbing Warhawk. The MP only element is kind of a turnoff, but at least online's free for PSN.

Also, I DL'ed the demo for Heavenly sword, and it looks like a less interesting N3. I like beat 'em ups, but this one just seems pointless.

How much of a difference is there with the blu-ray? Does it seem worth it?

I'll tell you the second I get a HDMI cable.

Leave it to Sony to package in an 800 dollar player and give you the cheapest connector known to man (Straight up RCA jack).

DVD is good enough

Wrong!

You're like the people who where still hanging on to VHS when DVD first came on the scene. "Old tech is good enough for me!!!!"

It's pretty amazing. Can't stand watching normal DVD's now. The HDMI hook up was worth the extra how ever much more it was.

I sitlll own a rather large VHS library fag.

I dont even use DVD I have a portable media player and use avi downloads.

Yeah, High Def looks freaking sweet generally. Even over copnent video.

It's terrible, not just short.

Motorstorm and Ratchet & Clank at the moment for me... Thats it.

I played some of Uncharted and just couldn't get into it. I ended up throwing on Tomb Raider Legend and having a much better time :D

I loved Uncharted

I'm playing Ratchet and Clank right now and enjoying it.
I didn't dislike Heavenly sword, but it's really short, and I got the most fun out of shooting people with Kai.

If you like the series, downloading Tekken 5 DR wouldn't be a bad idea.
High Velocity Bowling is a fun party game... It uses the motion sensor, so it's a lot like wii bowling, but feels like it has more depth. For 10 bucks, it's a good buy.

Everyday shooter is a fun downloadable game too. Pretty cheap, nothing amazingly advanced, but fun.

There's some good looking games coming out this year though. The FF13 games have already been mentioned... Little Big Planet looks amazing IMO. Echochrome should be a fun puzzle game. MGS4 obviously. Infamous sounds like it could be really good too. The new Grand Turismo game if you're into that ( personally, I'm not.) The Agency could be interesting... It's a PS3 mmorpg done by the group that makes City of Heroes. Then again, it apparently mixes in FPS aspects, so might now be for you.

Anyway, you should get gamefly. I love it. It makes dealing with short games a lot more tolerable.

Yeah, I played the demo and wanted to shoot them. Of course, it's a LITTLE better now that I know how to counter effectively, but it's boring.

Hey Fignuts, HDMI-output makes the Blu-Ray look incredible. It's basically the exact same quality as my Toshiba HD-DVD player on my TV. It'd probably look even better if my TV wasn't cheap (Emerson model that I bought 6 months ago because the price was right), but I'm definitely happy. Especially since Warner is now backing Blu-Ray exclusively.

Hate being wrong, but they're like 20% of the video market, meaning any chance HD DVD had probably just went out the window.

Yeah, HD DVD is pretty much screwed. All they have left is what, Dreamworks for exclusives now?

I believe Paramount, which owns Dreamworks, Weinstein, and Universial are still HD-DVD?

Doesn't look good for HD-DVD at this point.

Yeah, Warner was the swing. With some HD DVD exclusives, they were helping Toshiba. But I think those are the only exclusive companies left.

I can understand why technological advancements may be appreciated, but saying someone is wrong because they're happy with what they have? It's a bit of a sheepish thing to do. They say jump, you say how high. We'll survive without HD or Blu-Ray.

A lot of the reason a lot of people were clinging to VHS in the early days was becaue they absolutely did not want to pay so much for something they did not need. Yes, DVD has almost completely replaced VHS, and the same will happen again, but people aren't wrong for not jumping straight through the hoops.

I'd go with Ratchet & Clank, KK. Loved those games on PS2, and while my only exposure to Tools of Destruction has been my friend's copy, everything seems to have evolved in appropriate ratio. Worth picking up, I'd say. :y:

I think you're lost. This isn't the wrestling forum.

And it's pretty obvious I was joking.

I don't know about it being "pretty obvious" but if you say so.

who knew such a thing as a PS3 exclusive even existed?:?:

People not as phenomenally stupid as DAMN INATOR.

Just a hunch.

OBV, that post was in sarcasm...*SIGH*

Actually, the sarcasm doesn't make it less stupid.

Just an FYI.

This thread is so misleading!

Kojima and the boys over at Konami keep killing all rumors of MGS 4 going to the 360 left and right as of late.

Yep. Doesn't look good for a 360 version.

I'm fine with that, as along with mgs4, R&K, Final Fantasy, The Agency, KK's endorsement of blu-ray, and the fact that firepro and king of colesseum has little chance of showing up on 360, makes me feel like buying a ps3 is a good investment for me at this point.

Which is probably bullshit, but it will remain exclusive for the time being at least.
