Thinking about getting a PS3.
« on: May 22, 2011, 08:17:54 PM »
I haven't really been following PS3 games since it came out, so can I get a list of good exclusives for it?

As far as PSN games go I like the Pixel junk series, at least Monsters and Shooter are both good fun especially co-op. You might like Joe Danger too, it's like trials meets excite bike. Noby Noby Boy is... different. Also Flower :heartbeat  8) Warhawk surprisingly still has a pretty active community.

Might as well just save your money for next gen. I bought one maybe 6 months ago and after the novelty wore off, I haven't turned it on forever. Not a diss at the PS3 in particular. Just that its very late in the gen so you might as well wait for the next big thing. I would say the same about a 360 at this stage.

This is pretty stupid too, we dont know how much their expensive chunk of silicon will cost. He can get a cheap unit and enjoy the backlog and by then, if there are any developers left to even create software, he can pick one up.

Journey and The Unfinished Swan are both great if you're into artsy games. Retro/Grade is a pretty neat music game inspired by shoot 'em ups and Guitar Hero. Tokyo Jungle is awesome if you like quirky Japanese arcade games.

If you go a bit further back you have:
• Atelier Rorona: The Alchemist of Arland
• Atelier Totori: The Adventurer of Arland
• Atelier Meruru: The Apprentice of Arland
• Demon's Souls
• Yakuza 4
• Wizardry: Labyrinth of Lost Souls

Was going to fire off a list of stuff until I scrolled down and saw that I'd already made a suggestion and that this thread is old as fuck. :lol There's a good amount of PS3 only Musou games since they can't be bothered to port them over to 360 since nobody buys them outside of Japan anymore apparently :fbm and Tokyo Jungle seems pretty awesome.

Here are my PS3 recommendations.

Yakuza 4- I haven't finished 3, but I think 4 stands as a good entry point. Mostly because you are introduced to 3 new characters and a story that while having some small ties to the previous stands on it's own. Regardless, the game is awesome. Really fun beat-em up gameplay that's pretty simple to get into with a story that is pretty crazy, but has you know heart!

Valkyria Chronicles-What can I say? It's just a charming game with pretty cool srpg/third person gameplay. it's really the game you want Japan to make these days.

Sengoku Basara 3-A Dynasty Warrior's clone with style and humor. That sense of personality adds a lot to the simple and repetitive gameplay. Pretty fun and zany.

Uncharted 2/3-Yeah they are your super cinematic action games, but they are good for what they are.

Infamous 2-The first one sucks, but this was such a super improvement. I don't really think any game comes close to the sense of awesomeness that this game gives you during world traversal. It also doesn't look like shit, unlike the 1st one.

Gundam Extreme Vs-Just a really fun arcade mech fighter.

These are about all the exclusives I think are worth a damn. You non-exclusive stuff like FFXIII, MGSHD, Vanquish, Catherine, Castlevannia LoS, No More Heroes, Resonance of Fate, and Asura's Warth that are pretty good and may be better on the Ps3.

I'll probably just get the AC3 500gb package.  Besides Tales, all the games I want are less than $20 now.

In all honesty you could probably just grab PS+ and be satisfied with that, they give you enough shit for free or discounted that I've never run out of games to play.  Hell, almost every game I actually have bought has either been given away for free or discounted, so I don't really buy PS3 games at full price anymore unless it's something that's highly unlikely to come to Plus, like Graces or whatever.

House of the Dead 3 & 4 PSN

It's why I'd get one over a 360 if I had to get one of them at this point.

It's not so great at the moment, if you're just signing up you missed out on warhammer, saint's row 2, borderlands, etc. LBP2, inFamous 2, and some Ratchet bullshit are the only big games up right now, most of it's PSN meh. Maybe they'll do a big update around the holidays.

Custom firmware puts compromised consoles on PSN, leak of LV0 decryption keys to thwart future security measures

Sony is facing new PlayStation 3 security headaches today, as Eurogamer reports that hackers have released custom firmware that allows for compromised consoles to go on the PlayStation Network, and LV0 decryption keys that will facilitate circumvention of future security updates.

PlayStation 3 security was largely undermined in early 2011 after hacking team Fail0verflow detailed a technique to get unauthorized code running on Sony's console. At the time, the group said they attacked the console's security as a response to Sony removing the OtherOS feature that allowed installation of the Linux operating system on the PS3. Eurogamer notes that Sony's 3.60 firmware actually managed to plug many of the security holes from that event, but piracy has persisted for those willing to run older firmware and not take their systems onto PSN.

However, the newly released custom firmware contains the current PSN passphrase security protocol. And even if Sony changes that with new firmware, the release of the LV0 decryption keys means that hackers should be able to easily lay bare future security measures in system updates.

According to Eurogamer, Chinese hacking group BlueDiskCFW had planned to sell the custom firmware circumventions, which prompted another group called The Three Tuskateers to release the LV0 keys. They also released a statement claiming to have discovered the keys some time ago, adding, "only the fear of our work being used by others to make money out of it has forced us to release this now."

People were going on PSN with hacked consoles before this leak.

This just means that the last level of PS3 security is broken,those keys can make anything pass PS3 security.

Isn't there a Resistance trilogy pack? Never played the second one but first and third are good. Actually playing the third one at the moment, nearly completed it, one of the better FPS I've played this gen. Love the oldschool mechanics (using health packs to revive, massive weapon arsenal) could do with a little more destructibility though. You'll be hiding behind flimsy looking wooden fences and shacks which completely block all the alien blasters quite a lot. Haven't played the first since the PS3s launch but I really liked that at the time too. as with most PS3 games though the updates are massive and take forever, and are prone to failing after you've been dl'ing it for the last 40 minutes :piss2 I tried twice and it failed on the last part of the update both times.

PS3 PS2 emulation  :yuck unless you have one of the NA/JPN ones that released at launch with the PS2 hardware in it I'd forget about it. The 'backwards compatible' PS3s that were sold here were a scam, makes PS2 games look terrible. Component + PS2 4lyfe (or PC emulation)

wait the games stay on your ps3 after they are taken down?  I thought they only offered certain games at certain times and after that time you lost the ability to play them.
