View Full Version : Playstation 3 exclusives

There are still quite a few games that were released on the PS3 that have never seen a rerelease or remaster on PS4/5.

Some I can think of that I would like to see available for current systems include:

White Knight Chronicles 1 and 2
Ridge Racer 7
Resistence series
Ratchet and Clank games
Motorstorm
MGS4
Linger in Shadows
Killzone games
Infamous games
ICO
Bomberman Ultra

Are there any PS3 games you would like to see rerelease, remastered or remade?

In tempted to setup one of my PS3s Jedi to play some of these games. Also Gran Turismo 5 and 6 as I never did finish them and they still look great even compared to GT7 and have more tracks not included in the newer game.

I really wish they had somehow managed PS3 backwards compatibility on the PS4 or 5. PS Plus subscribers with the classic library do have access to some PS3 games, but most are cloud streaming, not natively installed. This works ok but you always have the danger that they will suddenly pull the game from the servers. This happened for a couple of games I had been playing on the PS4, including Bomberman. Suddenly just gone.

I'm streaming Split/Second Velocity and Motorstorm Apocalypse, works fine, I would prefer being able to actually download them to the console though. They should at least give you an option, even if they would ask 5-10€.

On the other hand I have my PS3 still standing there with 300+ games on an external HDD, lately I played through the whole FIFA Street campaign (again), a lot of fun, that's definitely worth a remake/remaster, a lot better than their recent Volta additions to the main game.

I expect the sales figures of said titles on an earlier platform will be the keystone on future releases. If the sales are poor, they obviously not going to bother. :shades:

Was ICO never updated? I hired it from Blockbuster back in the PS2 days and never really gave it much of a chance.

After playing Shadow of the Colossus on PS4, I felt a little like I wanted to go back and give ICO another chance.

No it received an HD remaster on the PS3 along with Shadow of the Colossus. But that's it. As you mentioned the latter's PS3 remaster was posted to PS4, but not ICO. The only way to play it on PS4/5 is cloud streaming the PS3 version.

Interesting.....Never heard anyone discuss these racing genre's before.....

Split Second had a much better sensation of speed for me but circuits/maps are repetitive & can be mastered to memory. - Blur just didn't float my boat like Split second. It's all about the sensation of speed I guess. :)

I gotta gush & say this though.....Gran Turismo has always held the top spot for me in Racing Sims & after that, I'd have to say WipeOut.

I liked Blur too but I don't like the powerups aspect of the game so much, I pretty much prefer the explosion triggering in Split/Second.

Motorstorm Apocalypse is really great too. Another one that I like is Ridge Racer Unbounded, unfortunately you cannot download people created tracks anymore as the servers are down.

I enjoyed WipeOut too. For me the most enjoyable recent driving game has been Hotshot Racing. It's in some ways like the original Burnouts (without the cool crashes though) in the way that it plays. Or a Ridge Racer but with more a bit more glitz and humour.

It's a fun racer, and well worth the bargain entry price.

Don't think I've played that. Will take a look.

Wipeout has always been great, and the PS4 version Omega collection, which brings together all the tracks abd racers from the PSP version along with the PS4 version is great. Also supports VR which is mad.

I really wish they would make a new Ridge Racer, but sticking to the series roots. I got so addicted to those games on the PS1. Still liked RR6 on the PS3, but not as much. PS1 R4 and the PSP RR2 are both on PS4/5 now with HD upscaled graphics, but it's not the same as a new game.

Wipeout Omega Collection has a BANGING soundtrack too
