The trailer of PS3 dragon riding game.
Alex S. from Link-Cable writes: "When shopping for new video games you can often trust the name publisher or developer on the box to be an indication of the quality of the game. Names like Nintendo, Square Enix, Sony Interactive Entertainment, Capcom, Xbox Game Studios and Sega are world famous because they helped shape the industry by releasing some of the most defining video games of all time. Though sometimes even these great gaming houses stumble and put out a stinker."
Splatterhouse remake . Loved the og’s at the arcade growing up . Hell the best thing about the remake was the og,s were included . And left alive by Square . That game had so much potential , but the gameplay was worse horrendous .
once Great studios getting destroyed is actually common. happened with ND and Last of Us2, Bioware and Mass Effect Andromeda/Anthem, Bungle and Destiny .
I'm pretty much certain that any Sonic game that comes out will be terrible, I've not enjoyed one since the original side-scrolling days of the MegaDrive.
For this Topic it says Good Studios that make bad games. Sonic Team hasn't been good in years.
Lair has the best soundtrack of a major game flop that I can remember. I still listen to it from time to time on Youtube.
I only just found out that Factor 5 reemerged in 2017, and reacquired the rights to the Turrican franchise.
I love the fact that at least someone remembers,
during the PS3 era how many bad games, and studios were shuttered during that era. you get nothing but rose-colored/ perfect hindsight about that now...
Haze broke me. I was such a massive fan of Timesplitters that I didn't believe for one second they could make such a generic, sub-par game. It even had a couple of neat ideas, but nothing that could save it from utter failure.
I learnt a harsh lesson from that game.
Exactly the same for me. Timesplitters 4 is now merely a pipedream because of Haze, and that hurts the most.
Average gameplay aside, what boggles my mind with Haze is that they ruined the entire plot in every trailer, interview, and even on the back of the box. Corporation bad, Nectar make you not see things, you join the rebels. Told in a more mature way and without it being spoiled from day 1, I could've seen Haze making much more of an impact.
It was definitely a very clever idea! Held back by poor marketing (as you said), poor narrative, underdeveloped characters and technology that hadn't QUITE reached the standard required for that kind of twist. Such a shame.
It's an idea that now wouldn't be all that ambitious, but back in 2008 it was an interesting idea that had the potential for so much depth!
A reimagining of 5 disappointing video games and the masterpieces they could have been underneath other studios.
well... if disappointing movies can get remakes then why not games? some of these have really good premise but somewhat disappointing execution. In the right hands they could be great.
I quite enjoyed lair (after the patch), too human and the order 1886. I'd even add in quantum break and recore as disappointing but with a good premise.
"well... if disappointing movies can get remakes then why not games?"
But how many disappointing movies actually get those? I'm still waiting for a remake of Howard the Duck.
@Gangsta
Wasn't there a rumor that they were looking at making another Howard the Duck? He had a cameo in GoTG2.
Love that movie for how bad it was. That and Garbage Pail Kids.
The Order was a fresh experience. Not the most compelling game, but I didn't want to put it down, and platted it. Good for what it was.
Quantum was something different as well, but a little less fun to actually play, imo. The 'acting' was done in a cheese factory too. Completed one path and never returned to it.
FFXIV was already remade, and it's probably the beat thing Square has put out in years.
Every time sites need clicks. Just look at the obligatory: i wAnT cLIcKs tEh OrDer 1886 pIcTUrE.
It's really not super often, but it does happen!
Mostly we see cult favorites come back around but in the recent case of Shaq-Fu we really saw a truly awful game see new life (not great life but at least new).
It's something I'd love to see a lot more of.
Thanks for reading my article!
The Order has its faults yes but it had a fantastic atmosphere and some great gameplay. A game with enormous potential and far from disappointing. I say give Ready at Dawn another crack at it because I think they created an diamond with some rough edges that just needs some tlc.
Problem was the repetitive boss fights. I liked the gunplay, cover system and somewhat the story.
It did have fantastic atmosphere, I'll give you that. But gameplay pretty much played out like short gunfire segments interlaced with walking/sneaking + QTE events. Gameplay was the weakest point of The Order because RAD prioritized world building and graphical detail. Ut was disappointing because it didnt live up to the massive potential it haf. If they were given another shot at a sequel, I hope they can learn from their mistakes.
gameplay was meh but the world had potential, in my ideal world it'd have Mass Effect kind of gameplay
I waited till The Order was discounted and went in with certain expectations and wasn’t disappointed. Just like Quantum Break. Great concept just needed a little extra meat on the bones.
I had high hopes before it released. They were curbed some by the early previews, and while I found faults with the game, and it was obviously released unfinished, I still enjoyed it. The lore, acting, graphics, and world itself were excellent.
I agree that it had some awesome atmosphere and the gameplay wasn't awful, but that potential is exactly why I put it on this list. I actually loved playing the game (same as some of the other games I put on this list such as Army of Two) But I would just love to see what could happen if it fulfilled some of that potential, ya know? Could have had the next incredible Sony franchise to rival God of War.
Thanks for reading my article!
The order should have had a sequel. The first one wasn't bad just needed a few tweaks.
I would love a sequel to The Order. It is still a great game.
Lair had a great concept and could be amazing with the current technology available. A Lair-like ps5 game could be incredible.
The Order itself wasn't disappointing to me. I had a lot of fun playing it. The disappointing part was how short the game was...It needed at least 5 more hours.
why waste money on remaking disappointing game
when they can remake good old school game
for a new Gen
The order 1886, im sure Sony said that would be a franchise. I also remember the developer saying he would take all the feedback and develop future title to be better
For me the biggest disappointment with The Order other than it being over a bit too quickly, having a rushed ending and not having any replay value is that I actually wanted more and never got it. The cliffhanger it ends on feels more like I just reached the middle or end of the first act of a game, not the ending proper. A sequel that picked up where it left off was sorely needed and we did not get that. For what it is, I actually really enjoyed The Order. It probably helps that I got it for $8 on a PSN Flash Sale rather than spending $80CAD on it on release, but I got value for the money I spent.
i really enjoyed the order.
I think the game was bashed for no good reason.
short game, so are tell tail games. do i have to mention Detroit's running time? how about quick time events.
if the industry is going to pan a game and then celebrate other games and they are basically the same i think they are all HYPOCRITES .
PlayStation’s strong and impressive lineup of exclusives is probably the biggest edge it has over its direct competition in the market- a fact that has been true for as long as anyone can remember.
Ridge racer for PSP was actually good and shouldn't be on this list. I think I'm the only one that enjoyed Haze.
When GamingBolt have to dig up PS1 & PS2 games you know Sony is doing something right.
The list is about the worst Playstation exclusives games OF ALL TIME...
Why wouldn’t they include PS1 and PS2 games?
That’s right, only PS4 games should be on the list of the worst Sony exclusive games of all time. /s
As much as I like PlayStation, there are plenty of stinkers just like on all platforms tbh.
Haha you completely missed or are willfully ignorant of the intent of this article. It clearly says worst PS Exclusive Games of All Time.
RR on Vita made the list, not the PSP version. RR on Vita was severely lacking content.
They tried something new and it failed.
The initial price point was low but a large amount of content was locked behing DLC
These days you often pay full price up front and get the same concept.
Didn’t the list just have ridge racer on Vita? Because the Vita ridge racer was a dumpster fire at $40 with next to no cars or tracks. It was such an incomplete experience. As the article states, it felt more like a full priced demo than an actual game. Psp ridge racer had so much more to it.
All early ridge racers had next to no cars...game was great because of its graphics, controls, fun factor. Nothing could touch it on PS1.
When this piece of flotsam indicated that "Being a clone of GTA shouldn't be that hard" I just closed the window.
Socom 4, I guess you could say that was an AWFUL/TERRIBLE Socom game. BUT it was an okay game if it didn't have the word Socom in the title.
To save you from clicking those annoying slides:
HAZE (PS3)
LAIR (PS3)
KNACK (PS4)
RIDGE RACER (PS VITA)
TWISTED METAL III (PS1)
LAST REBELLION (PS3)
BRAVO TEAM (PS4)
BASEMENT CRAWL (PS4)
MORTAL KOMBAT: SPECIAL FORCES (PS1)
GANGS OF LONDON (PSP)
LITTLE DEVIANTS (PS VITA)
PLAYSTATION MOVE APE ESCAPE (PS3)
APE ESCAPE ACADEMY (PSP)
KUNG FU RIDER (PS3)
EYETOY: OPERATION SPY (PS2)
I love when people do this to sites that try to artificially up their clicks by forcing one click per entry. But I will say maybe let's leave off the first entry so they get the one click. Both so N4g gets whatever they're due for pushing traffic to their site and to send a message to the site that you only get one click.
Sites are lucky if I click once or twice, half a dozen or more clicks is more effort than I'm willing for a list that may or may not suck.
Maybe not knack but it's understandable, its not the best game tbh. Dunno bout ridge racer.
Have to say that is a pretty crappy list. I remember being so pissed with Twisted Metal 3 after TM2.
You're doing Gods work. Many blessings upon the house of Gardenia.
Knack should not be on these list. The game hit the mark on accessibility and ease of access to children at the BEGINNING of the PS4s life and delivered a very good sequel that improved on the first.
My 7 year old started Knack 1 when he was 4 he now plays and loves Knack 2 with my 4 year old.
That’s literally what we love about young gaming
@RainbowBrite
So you're telling him what his kids like and dislikes? Then concluding his kids are poor. Typical liberal trash thinking.
@Gaming_1st It wasn't my intention to imply that he or they didn't have any money. In any case I don't understand why is that liberal thinking?
My kids have options across the board, they had all the Mario games and donkey Kong games I continue to hear “gamers” proclaim as the best games all around. They played them all of a few seconds before losing interest. Only games I’ve seen them enjoy are Minecraft, Lego games, Knack and yoshis wholly world.
Mario isn’t even on their spectrum of interest of games. So, saying my kids are not happy with THEIR choices is an asinine thing to imply.
Socom 4, all others were great. Looking forward to H-Hour releasing on ps4 later in the year
Legend of Legaia 2, the first was one of my favs all time, 2 was returned to GameStop the same day I bought it.
Haze - never understood anyone that defended this pos. It looked generic, it played generic.
Twisted metal small brawl. Please Sony give us another game like Twisted Metal Black
Generic doesn't mean bad, it just means it didn't innovate to a level some may have wanted.
I really liked Lair back then, pretty graphics and overall production values. Sure it had some issues, but still I didn´t quite get the hate it got,.
The game was rubbish at release because of the forced motion controls, once they patched in an alternative it was a much better game.
the same reason people hate on many Nintendo games. Forced motion gimmicks, at least at launch.
Horrible six axis motion controls that couldnt be turned off at launch and a forgettable story made this game a disappointment for me.
Honestly, I think Lair in VR would be sick, either as a the of the dragon or the rider.
the funny thing is more than half these games aren't bad they are just not that good or very niche
I thought the Haze premise was actually pretty cool. What's funny is that the same basic premise was used in Black Mirror.
Wow... some of these games on the list aren't bad at all. Must be a slow day at the office, huh?
I think we should note that these are the worst ps exclusives, which doesn’t mean they “bad” games. Just not as good as many of the good/great ps exclusives.
These are my top 15, in no order at all: (please note i don't enjoy racing games)
15. Infamous 2
14. Uncharted 2
13. The last of us
12. God of war (Ps4)
11. Heavy rain
10. Ratchet and clank: a crack in time
9. Metal gear solid 4: guns of the patriot
8. Yakuza zero
7. Horizon zero dawn
6. God of war 3
5. Resistance 3
4. Until dawn
3. Uncharted 4
2. Metal gear solid 3 snake eater
1. Bloodborne
It's leaning more towards ps3/ps4, I know, but these are my top 15 nonetheless. I expect a lot of disagrees!
Ok so then what are your top 15 exclusives seeing as I'm clearly in the wrong here?
LOL! Even PS1 and PSP titles are counted. Surely gamingbolt was s0 desperate to find something from 20 years ago.
Which is why it is titled “15 Worst PlayStation Exclusive Games of All Time”,
Learn to read, just alittle bit. It is good for you, you know.
Interesting timining gamingbolt since Sony has been killing the competition with it's exclusives.
GamingBolt, the Microsoft mouthpiece that continues to find one way or another to say something negative about Sony.
There were stinkers on every platform. Xbox and Xbox 360 had quite a few and the reason why there are so few on Xbox One is because there have been hardly any exclusives this gen. Given the sheer number of exclusives Sony has had over each of the consoles, 15 games over nearly a quarter of a century is hardly anything to write about.
and for them to put zelda breath of the wild as #1 and see how that goes hopefully gaming bolt does it so i can see the backlash.
breath of the wild is not one of the worst, but not a masterpiece or an awesome game neither, it's a 7/10 game
i liked it, but definitely wasnt no goty to me.
i could imagine if a list was made like this and it was number one all those comments
I actually kind of enjoyed Knack. It isn't the greatest game ever but I knew what I was getting when I bought it. I think people were expecting it to be this hardcore AAA killer app probably due to it being a launch title, and it just isn't that. On the other hand, that it was released as a launch title is why anyone paid any attention to it at all, so maybe it worked in the game's favour afterall.
Haze was my first ps3 shooter and should not be on this list. The multiplayer lobbies were always full and I would play for hours. The campaign was that bad either.
for some reasons , I started Twisted Metal with TW3, after I loved it, I tried going to TW1 and TW2, I wouldn't say I didn't enjoy them, however , I find TW3 better. maybe starting it as the entry game in TW was the reason I like it so much.
For me it was Haze, i give it a change but after 2 hours, but the gameplay was so bad that i gave up en never looked back.
I wonder if they do a "15 worst exclusive games on xbox" too?
Are there even 15 xbox exclusive games in total?
People need to get over the motion controls in Lair. They patched it to have regulat controls like a month later and the game was tremendously gorgeous and fun like an HD starfox with dragons.
As soon as I see a negative title I immediately know it will have Gamingbolt's stink all over it.
And 22 seconds of gameplay. Bleh.
Looks nice this game is gonna be tight
Best lair footage we have seen so far.
The fire and explosions looks a lot better than the previous videos.
"Trailer of PS3 dragon riding game"
Insightful!
Should prove to be an entertaining title, however this looks very similar in terms of gameplay to Drakengaurd; beautiful textures and light details though.
