PS3-Sense.nl writes: "If a game sells well is that after a while platinum. Platinum games of course we recognize the yellow cover. They are also much cheaper and they cost only 29.99 euros. The French sales site Micromania said that in June 4 new Platinum games are available..... "

this will increase sales to 4 mil in no time

Automat5127d ago

finally Dirt2 gets on the cheap. it's been impossible to find that game for 20-30 anywhere..!

Army_of_Darkness5126d ago (Edited 5126d ago )

Now I can afford to pick up Infamous, LBP, A Crack in Time & DiRT 2 all at once! yes!

Dark_Vendetta5126d ago

Finally Ratchet & Clank. Don't know why I didn't get it yet.

Noctis Aftermath5126d ago

They really need to replace the yellow on the platinum covers with silver/platinum again, yellow makes the games unappealing.

Yi-Long5126d ago

... great to see Uncharted 2 get such an early discount. Same goes for Ratchet and Clank.

I don't really care about the other two titles (DIRT 2 doesn't have enough REAL rally-races in it for my liking, and WWF doesn't interest me), and I was really hoping for Naruto Ultimate Ninja Storm getting a platinum release with all the DLC included. That game is very hard to find nowadays here in Holland.

wow that was quick for Uncharted 2! Its good to see Ratchet and Clank in the platinum list, great game and Insomniac deserve all the sales.

Parapraxis5126d ago

Too quick for UC2 IMO, they should have waited a few more months, with sales of PS3 increasing at a rapid rate a lot of new customers would have picked up the game at regular price.

Another great incentive for those new customers though I suppose. However I suspect a lot of people buy the console for one game and then check out other games later.

UC2 for the win by the way, still my favourite game thus far this gen.

BeaArthur5127d ago

It's been past a million for awhile now.

SuperStrokey11235127d ago

I wonder if we are going to see those here soon?

PirateThom5126d ago

The threat of the Platinum cover has forced me to jump on A Crack in Time while the non-crap cover is still available.

Ranking the Ratchet and Clank Games from Worst to Best

From Xfire: "Insomniac Games first introduced the unlikely duo of Ratchet and Clank back in 2002 on the PlayStation 2. Since then, the series has taken audiences on a journey that has spanned not just an entire galaxy, but multiple dimensions, with its most recent outings."

Levii_921044d ago

Best games of the franchise are Up Your Arsenal, A Crack in Time, 2016 Remake and without a doubt the newest one Rift Apart. You simply can’t go wrong with these.

Man what a glorious game series.

neutralgamer19921044d ago

Only ones I don't like as much are all 4 one and full frontal assault other than that all games are awesome( even these are good games just not up to the standard of other games in the series)

victorMaje1044d ago

Nice article, good list, they're all fun & I love this game!
Rift Apart is spectacular.
Insomniac are wizards, I want their next game to be a new Resistance. I can't wait to see what they have in store for us next.

DOMination-1044d ago

Ryan Mccaffrey said last week that Resistance 4 was in development but Sony cancelled it due to the high number of post-apocalyptic games around at the moment.

victorMaje1043d ago

Well that’s a shame. I feel they could do something truly special with today’s technology.

chicken_in_the_corn1044d ago

I'm looking forward to playing Rift Apart then the whole series sometime afterward. Up Your Arsenal is my favourite

Currently playing Drakes Fortune on crushing, next will be to replay Among Thieves, but I'm sure it still holds up today.

P_Bomb1457d ago (Edited 1457d ago )

Recently re-platinumed 1-3. Uncharted 2 aged better than I even expected. I enjoyed it more now than I did a decade ago. It’s more polished than 1, tighter than 3 and Yemen in 3 was gorgeous. Shambhala out-prettied Ubar though. 60fps w higher res’ made for a damn good rerun.

Abnor_Mal1456d ago

Question: When you say Uncharted2 aged better than expected, are you talking about the original PS3 game or the remastered collection on PS4. I ask because I think that a remastered version of the game would look and play better than the original.

I doubt that the original ran at 60 frames, how many years old is the remastered collection anyway.

I need to replay the original trilogy along with the collection, not a fan of the collection trophy of beating levels in a set time and don't think the originals required that for platinum.

P_Bomb1456d ago (Edited 1456d ago )

@abnor_mal
It’s true that the remasters have upped the resolution and given it 60fps, but the base game is the same. The art design and base textures/physics/ animations are the same yet still look contemporary. More-so than UC1 which isn’t as tight, or UC3 in some cases which I found a bit clunky in close quarters.

UC2 level design was a great evolution in bringing the verticality from the jungle into rural/urban settings while maintaining smooth animation transitions. Drake still moves better than the ginger in Star Wars Jedi. Outdoor areas are better lit.

UC2 also has more action and better pacing imo, which helps when replaying a game 10 years later. Kept me engaged.

You don’t need to time trial for platinum. They stuck the speedrun trophies in a seperate extended dlc category so have no fear.

MadLad1457d ago

I thought the originals were good, but not great. I understand that puts me in the minority here. That said, Uncharted 4 was freaking fantastic.

Profchaos1457d ago (Edited 1457d ago )

Yeah I understand the hate for 4 prior to playing it I was firmly against it and felt like 3 wrapped things up already but now after playing it I think it was the best in the franchise.

Now I look back at two and I feel like I'm playing an on the rails shooter everything is so tightly scripted including the infamous train scene you simply can't make a mistake

Rimeskeem1457d ago

I think Uncharted 2 is a lot like AC2. Both games took the idea and basically improved it in every single way.

Movefasta19931456d ago

Uc2, AC2,Halo2, Soul calibur 2, Killzone 2, Infamous 2 , Dishonored 2 and a few more. The only negative thing I have against uc2, and imo it annoyed me,are the blue apes, uncharted 1 handled the super natural far better.
