5 Reasons Why PSN Exclusive Games Win

Both the PS3 and the Xbox 360 offer great exclusive arcade games that could have you playing for hours without dropping $60 of your hard earned money. Lately, it has been noticeably clear which console has been delivering top notch arcade games that feel well made, complete, and well worth the money. Check out the top five list of PSN games that have made the PS3 that much more valuable while keeping it under $20 or even $10...

no but having both systems and buying games off both services I must say psn has more unique experiences and not just games that are similar. for example psn has super stardust hd, fat princes,pixel junk eden, junk monsters, ratchet dlc, shatter, cuboid, wipeout hd, elefunk,flower, and crash commando,

although i did enjoy braid, castle crashers, banjo kazooie and splosion man on xbl

FamilyGuy5374d ago (Edited 5374d ago )

There's no denying it, PSN wins hands down in this comparison. I posted a list before of the PSN exclusives that have come out or are comming out in this year alone
Burn Zombie Burn
Comet Crash
Buzz! Junior: Robo Jam
Cuboid
Fat Princess
Flower
Gunstar Heroes
Heavy Weapon
Inferno Pool
Magic Ball
Noby Noby Boy
Outrun Online Arcade
PixelJunk Shooter
Rag Doll Kung Fu: Fists of Plastic
Shatter
Smash Cars
Trash Panic
Trine (timed?)
Zen Pinball

This list doesn't include mulitplats (obviously), PSOne Classics, or PSP games that can also be found on the store

Quality>Quantity either way

"Game Sharing" furthers the gap when comparing PSN games to XBLA games

Blaze9295374d ago (Edited 5374d ago )

good question...and what is the author comparing those titles too? SURELY not every Xbox LIVE Arcade game...cuz that'd be one hellavu a joke....a counter article can, and probably will, be made for this but what point are they making with no comparisons and probably 0 knowledge of what each service offers.

coolcole935374d ago

He missed out Supersonic Acrobatic Rocket Powered Battle Cars which is my fave PSN game. Fat Princess is boring as is Flower. WipEout is amazing as well though :)

jetlian5374d ago

360 got gunstar heroes and heavy weapon

we also got

shadow complex
trials hd
spolsion man
fatal fury mark of wolves
king of fighters 98 ultimate
dead samurai
monkey island
perfect dark this winter
and a samurai showdown is suppose to come out this winter

Opinions are like ______ (fill in the blank), everyone has one and they all _____(fill in the blank)!

Nice opinion piece but not news. The author should think before they submit such none sense.

I will say this, I have no problem saying that the PS3 wins with more arcade games or better arcade games...I really don't know as I have never downloaded anything other than Doom on the 360.

Now when it comes to actually games. Full releases, the 360 wins in that department. Hands down. I don't have to go into the whys and why nots as they have been said a million times by other members of N4G and gaming journalists.

SSHD should of been on this list in my opinion. I have spent countless hours playing this game and still do. Its hard trying to get x10 multiplier trophy, what a pain in the a$$. I get in a groove, then the song changes and I screw it all up lol.

edit: @FamilyGuy
YYa man, I still play sshd its awsome and at your comment above, nice list. I am just getting into burn zombie burn and its pretty damn fun.

FamilyGuy5374d ago

I loved that it has a co-op multi-player.

"5 Reasons Why PSN Exclusive Games Win"

"Check out the top five list of PSN games that have made the PS3 that much more valuable while keeping it under $20 or even $10."

Where exactly is the comparison in this article? I only see 5 PSN games. The guy should make the headline: "Top Five PSN games worth buying" or something like that.

FamilyGuy5374d ago (Edited 5374d ago )

You're absolutely right, he didn't "compare" anything here. Well, I mean to say, he listed no "comparisons".

I'm all for PSN games but i'm still jealous of Shadow Complex, it looks like a great game.

@ Sir Ken_Kutaragi below

You know most if not all those games can be played in flash games in the web browser right?
Frogger is coming soon
And why say "on it's own" when a package deal is more for your money?

LeonSKennedy4Life5374d ago

Seriously. What the frick?

All amazing games though.

Madis0075374d ago

Playstation = Sony have So many exclusive games what no other consoles dosent have + sony owns so many games companies.

Wii dosent own nothing... Only Mario and Zelda.

Microsoft owns Bungie but there will be last halo. and Epic is not exclusive too... So Microsoft dosent own nothing

Playstation = Games,best grahpic and EXCLUSIVE GAMES and blu ray
Wii = Casual
Xbox = Online,DLC and multiplatform games

LeonSKennedy4Life5374d ago

Both of you need to stay in school.

The Wood5374d ago (Edited 5374d ago )

stunted xbl's growth. No chance for in between type games like wipeout HD or HV bowling or many of the others FamilyGuy listed above. This was/is only lifted on some occasions because MS didnt/doesnt want to be left out by games that psn allowed but they didnt like the street fighter HD. It was slightly unfair to some smaller devs as they could either choose to dev an xbl game with a size limit or a full price game.....no in between and because they weren't well known like capcom the chance of MS upping the limit was/is minuscule. PSN is better than xbl in this aspect as there is clearly less restriction.

If you disagree....please list the games or explain....its simple just click reply and the world is your oyster

Rowsdower5374d ago

ms lifted the file size restriction long ago on arcade titles.

n4g where fanboyism and ignorance (on both sides) trump gaming news.

this site sucks.

The Wood5374d ago (Edited 5374d ago )

http://news.softpedia.com/n...

like i said stunted the growth and as you can see there from their own mouths the limit is still there 'as a guideline'. I say this because im sure some games still dont make it out because of their size and how many large exclusive xbl games have actually been released since the ban was 'lifted'....... I wonder and Multi's like street fighter and watchmen dont count as like i said before ..'me too' and its also the reason i said 'stunt(ed)' as its moved from 50 mg to 250 whereas psn has no such 'guideline' and the reason why there are x times as many large games on psn from launch. Size isnt everything but thats not my point. Its just games like warhawk were not possible on xbl until 09 hence 'stunted'

Rowsdower5374d ago (Edited 5374d ago )

my favorite XBLA games thus far are Splosion Man, BF 1943, Peggle, REZ HD, Braid.

oh yeah this is the full quote from the article you linked to for those reading our little back and forth:

“We have set Xbox Live Arcade game file limits as a general guideline. An important part Xbox Live Arcade is easy access, and keeping file size down is a vital part of that. Equally important is offering titles with superior gameplay. We weigh both considerations on a case-by-case basis, and will make exceptions when it makes sense to ensure the best customer experience.”

Also as of 8/11 BF Bad Company is a digital download at 19.99, so in terms of gameplay and file size there are options on Xbox Live that make your argument null as of today. Both Bf bad company and warhawk share an 84 on metacritic and both cost around the same price, so i call it even.

in terms of "stunted", how were they stunted did the file size limit any games, I just dont see where the past file size limitations resulted in any game being stunted, what are your examples of stunted games? What games dont make it out as you say?

tops on Metacritic:

xbla:
Braid: 93
Portal: Still Alive 90
Geometry wars 2: 90
Rez HD: 89

PSN:
wipeout HD: 87
Marvel vs CApcom: 87
Bionic Commando remarmed: 87
Flower: 87

check out metacritic for yourself
as PS3 fans love to say its about quality not numbers (in this case filesize.)
by the way this is fun.

The Wood5374d ago (Edited 5374d ago )

Im talking about the type of game. xbl NOW allows for bigger games BUT there was a time when this wasnt the case SO there are not as many games to the quality of BF1942/Warhark available as of today. The limits limited (pass tense) these games from being on xbl

Metascores......do you play those or do you play the games. Meta is tainted even if 09 has been sony's year according to them....I still say eff it especially since 80% of the sites that have input are from the western media and many of those are from the continent where one of the major players is based. 'Look after your own' if you need a hint. The site also shows zero transparencies in its weighing or credence giving to sites or their reasons for doing so. Your list is even flawed. Wheres fat princess or shatter....you've just chosen to pick and choose so it suits your argument which has been done better by others (ill say no names) yes.. you are fun but next time try listing 15 games then we can have a fairer comparative. xbl has games yes but not as much of the quality of psns. Its why this article has been written after all so call him ignorant init. Ill be waitin for ur 15 btw:)

Rowsdower. good on ya.. yes im even too lazy to ejaculate sometimes....cant be asked

Rowsdower5374d ago (Edited 5374d ago )

games score wise off metacritic from both PSN and XBLA, you want 15 now? Jeez you'll have to give me some time to compile what you could easily see with your eyes by going to the site.

PS3 scores: http://www.metacritic.com/g...
Xbox 360 scores: http://www.metacritic.com/g...

But let me see metacritic is not a valid place for info according to you.

I realize much of this is subjective and to each their own, but the moment I have the time I will compile that list for your lazy a@#.

Fat Princess got a 79 and shatter got an 87 on metacritic, btw, but again those number are biased so ignore them.

The Wood5373d ago

since you cant decide for yourself what quality titles are without meta or u cant tell us 15 titles i guess we'll......well you'll just call it quits. You were not so fun after all;(

Rowsdower5373d ago (Edited 5373d ago )

i linked to where the info is see for yourself

you self righteous sob. i'm not here to convince I'm here to challenge your misguided assumptions, just because you don't want to hear what I have to say doesn't mean I haven't answered you.

so you win cause your mind is the most closed.

The Wood5373d ago (Edited 5373d ago )

If you hadn't noticed this was about psn/xbl games. why give me a list of every game for huh imagine if everybody did that???. I asked for 15 xbl games for a clearer picture of my point not just the 4 you conveniently selected. Its obvious you're acting like the type that makes noise then plays dumb and hides behind links. If i wanted a list of meta games i would of done it myself for example if i wanted to name 15 games off psn i'd look in my collection NOT meta. Just because people have a differing opinion to ur own doesnt mean they're 'misguided'....thats just as childish as basing opinions off of meta. good day to you.

Rowsdower5373d ago (Edited 5373d ago )

i gave you both lists so you could look and see what the scores of psn and xbla games are in order from highest to lowest, and you could compare what gaming journalists think of the quality of the games that appear on both services.

You want lists there are lists, make the simple mental leap and open both in 2 separate windows side by side and there you can compare the top 15 xbla and psn games. what you will find is that gaming journalists have rated xbla games higher than psn games (if you actually click on the game you will find links to the reviews themselves), but you think that metacritic is not a valid source and thats fine.

Also you never identified which games never came out on xbla because they were stunted by the file size limit.

I'm getting annoyed because you just want to argue and not look beyond you limited worldview and that fine. I've provided you with info ignore it to your hearts content.

good day to you too

Sony, What Happened To Wipeout?

Will we ever see more of Sony’s futuristic racing franchise?

PSNghost881718d ago

Better question. What happened to Ridge Racer? LOL

darthv721718d ago

That's better suited to ask Namco, not Sony.

Forn1718d ago

Better question, what happened with Motorstorm?!

darthv721718d ago

I would absolutely LOVE a motorstorm collection. All 5 games in one package.
Motorstorm
Motorstorm Pacific Rift (my favorite)
Motorstorm Apocalypse
Motorstorm Arctic Edge
Motorstorm RC

himdeel1718d ago

Sony Liverpool was shut down, that's what happened. Ask harder questions.

DillyDilly1718d ago

Better question what happened with Twisted Metal ?

KickSpinFilter1718d ago (Edited 1718d ago )

Ya that would be awesome but highly unlikely, it’s a little messed up while Driveclub started out lousy all the server and updates ended up making one fabulous racer. Developer was able to turn around Days Gone into a pretty good game not sure why Driveclub did not get that chance also

neutralgamer19921718d ago

sony has way too many IP's that's what happened

King_Noctis1718d ago

Even better question, what happen to Twisted Metal?

So many great exclusives that I hope Sony bring back for the PS5.

jivah1718d ago

Why get a motorstorm collection that will look like ass when we can get a new installment properly developed that will have brand new maps, vehicles and mechanics as well as legacy ones.

VTKC1718d ago

wow imagine if they did a motorstorm with VR compatible like wipeout! Would be insane! With all the dirt and mud flying in all directions and looking to the side or any direction to see the other competitiors while racing around the track and the sense of speed when you decide to hit the nitros! They got to do this!

Sevir1718d ago

Evolution shut down after Driveclub didn't make money.

The Wood1717d ago

Who owns the ips for motor storm and twisted metal? Can't they be reborn

Forn1717d ago

I should have stated that I already know Evolution was shut down. Despite that, Sony could give the IP to another studio if they wanted. I realize that Apocalypse didn't sell very well, but that was due to circumstances beyond Evolution's control. I feel like Evo should have at least started this gen off with a Motorstorm series remaster before they went on to Driveclub to help get their feet wet with the new hardware. Might have helped them be better prepared in creating Driveclub.

S2Killinit1718d ago

What happened to Wipeout is that the games only logical and natural evolution involves VR. Which Sony has already introduced to test out people’s reaction. If enough people are actually interested, then we will get the next Wipeout. Otherwise I think there are a lot of people out there who remember the franchise fondly, but wouldnt be will to fork out full price for it. Lets see if Wipeout VR will turn the franchise into its glory days when the fast paced racer was a unique offering.

Simple really. Nothing happened to it except time.

LoveSpuds1718d ago

The first PSVR experience I had that made me feel dizzy and nauseous, I was pretty gutted about it because it looked amazing and very immersive.

quent1717d ago

Not everyone cares about tedious VR, how's Psyognis doing these days btw ?

S2Killinit1717d ago

Not everyone needs to care. Not everyone cared about games either. But here we are.

FinalFantasyFanatic1718d ago

I would love a new Ridge Racer, but the series has fallen off the earth somehow.

Wipeout is in great shape, finally released in VR, the way it was meant to be played.

How dare they. What happened to Motorstorm?

I really miss Motorstorm :(

NiteX1718d ago

They also shut down that studio and most of them went to Codemasters that made Onrush which sold horribly.

DaDrunkenJester1718d ago

Aww man, what about the Twisted Metal and Warhawk devs? Are they still around?

KyRo1718d ago

I miss Motorstorm too. I miss cinematic racers in general. Split Second, Motorstorm Apocalypse, even NFS the Run. Racing with earthquakes, avalanches, tsunamis, police, bombs etc was thrilling. No everything is a boring sim/semi sim. We ain't allowed fun with racers anymore

KickSpinFilter1718d ago

What happened to Crackdown 3?

DaDrunkenJester1718d ago

@kickspin

It got made and released? Lol what do you mean?

Sevir1717d ago

Driveclub Developer Evolution shut down because Driveclub didn't make them money.

They were planning on supporting Driveclub while also working on a new Motorstorm. That got scrapped after DCVR update released and the chopping axe came down on the studio.

They went on to become a Codemasters's subsidiary called "Evo"and put out Onrush, which was a spiritual successor to Motorstorm. But it sold horribly and Codemasters shuttered Evo for good.

Bad management from the get go of The PS4 generation. Lead to a great team being liquidated. :(

Just a little bit of trolling, but in all honesty I do love these games and it is a shame they aren't around anymore.

IRetrouk1718d ago

Personally didnt like wipeout, just couldn't get into it, I'm sure if there is a demand a new one will be made, who knows what they have planned.

DaDrunkenJester1718d ago

I loved the collection that recently came out and then coupled that with some PSVR support made it even better.
