Top 5 most underrated games on PlayStation 3 - Ratchet on top

PSPSPS writes:

"For all the whinging early in the year, looking back with the crystal clarity of hindsight, we haven't really done all that badly, have we? The one year anniversary of the PS3 (for the US anyway) has left us with a fistful of truly great games and a respectable number of just plain good ones."

Underrated?? Resistance has sold over 2 million copies. that's not underrated, SNORK! R&C was adorned with 9's and 10's all over the map... the majority of reviews being super positive. that's not underated, SLAP ASS! Warhawk has more people on their serves than Resistance and COD4 ... probably put together. How is that underrated? Assassins Creed is a pile of junk and Heavenly Sword was garbage.

Lucreto6012d ago

I agree with Resistance and Warhawk but disagree with Assassins Creed and Heavenly Sword.

I enjoyed Heavenly Sword. It was funny and well made. It is short but I have been playing it slowly and I a enjoying it.

Assassins Creed is the same. I am collecting all the flags and such and I can barely put it down. It only froze twice on me since its release.

MK_Red6011d ago

How the heck could you say HS and AC are junk?
They are both really great fun and amazing games. Sure, AC has bugs but what other open-world game hasn't or doesn't become a bit repetitive after time?
And only problem with HS is that it's short. Aside from that, it's a classic game. You really need to open your eyes.

GIJeff6011d ago

is pretty much (other than god of war) the best action game ever. No kidding. Whats better?

okcomputer6011d ago

Devil may cry 1&3 and ninga gaiden are all better action games than hs

KingME6011d ago

These are the metacritic ratings for those games, notice that all but two are either equal to or higher rated that Uncharted. Yet uncharted did not make the list. I feel uncharted is more underated than all of those on this list.

Ratchet & Clank Future: Tools of Destruction 89
Assassin's Creed 86
Heavenly Sword 79
Warhawk 84
Resistance: Fall of Man 86
Uncharted: Drake's Fortune 86

Perhaps the article should have been titled "top 5 under appreciated ps3 games." But then again, if that was being said then there would be no one to blame but PS3 owners for not buying them. And we can't have fanboys taking the blame for anything; right?

Who cares how those clowns rate games, if you like it buy it. The problem is that a lot of people complain about the ratings and then don't buy the game. If you decided to not buy the game after seeing the ratings, then you obviously agree with the rating. Otherwise why not go out a but the game.

Well first off lol@ their site name. I also like how they're crying their games are underrated just because the games are on their console. Well I guess we need a random crap site to cry about how Halo 3 should have nothing below an 9.8, Forza nothing below 9.6 etc for all our games too. Sony fans cry so much about reviews even though they say they do not to care, makes no sense :)

shmee6012d ago

firstly a cartoon game with very low poly characters dont even qualify as a ext gen game.

EUROPEANS and JAPANESE are cautious people . This is why HALO 3 is a mega flop over there

Bladestar6011d ago

@shmee - Halo 3 megaflop in Europe and Japan... yet it sold quicker and more than Any console game ever sold and will sell... what does that tell you about the game industry? Yes, that America is the primary and most important region in the game industry...

Plain and system, "EUROPEANS and JAPANESE are cautious people ." means $h!t as far as business is concern... Sony can keep Japan... look at the games of today... tell me which Japanese game this generation (released one) helped the xbox 360 or the PS3 get to where they are at? all top games are western and many of these companies are American... the biggest game publishers are NOT japanese anymore... things changed... Japanense consoles need western developers... what do you think it would happen if American publishers and developers only supported the xbox?

Americans buy games... don't forget that.... without America Playstation is dead... and without "EUROPEANS and JAPANESE" the xbox seems to be doing just fine.

People talk about the PS3 beating the xbox 360 in terms of sales.. but take a look at the games sells...

Power of Blu6011d ago

"Sony fans cry so much about reviews even though they say they do not to care"

Like how you cry so much about pretty much anything to do with the PS3? "Wha Wha Wha PS3 sucks" "Wha Wha Wha Sony fans are babies"

Well done mate!

Power of Blu6011d ago

"Halo 3 megaflop in Europe and Japan... yet it sold quicker and more than Any console game ever sold and will sell... what does that tell you about the game industry?"

How about that Xbox fans will buy anything regardless of quality? Woot! Stick Master Chiefs face on a can of drink and I bet you guys think it tastes better! Halo3 prooved one very solid lesson to the industry in that you put enough money behind the advertisment with Master chief pants and Master chief toothpaste and you gulible lemmings lap it up.

You also say that Japanese consoles need western developers, that's a crock of sh!t too. Japanese games have been far superior than a lot of your american crap for as long as I can remember. The sooner the Japanese games start hitting the shelves, the sooner we will actually enter Next Gen. Nintendos already started. Sony is getting there. Maybe Microsoft will get there on the Xbox3.

Lucreto6011d ago

Halo did sell well but it is out of the top 10 now and lots of places have discounted the game to clear the overstock.

People talk about PS3 not selling but my local GAME just sold its last 360 where tons of them were dumped on them last Christmas.

GIJeff6011d ago

It was mostly japanese games that made the ps1 and ps2 successful. And guess what? its going to be the same thing with the ps3. FF series and GT pretty much ARE playstation. Also, MGS is PS3 exclusive making another system seller that is japanese. Im sorry, just because halo is american and it has american success(even though its a steaming pile and everyone knows it but everything else on the console is even worse) doesnt mean the same is true for all consoles. Especially the japanese made consoles. Grow up. The ONLY console that will meet the ps2's success is PS3. FACT.

KingME6011d ago

That was an incredible reach at best. And very desperate at that. It's amazing to me how many companies talk to walk-in customers about the inventory and business operations. There is NO WAY you local game just sold the last of their december 2006 inventory. That sh!t isn't even remotely believable.

And if they were given that many, then they have a management issue anyway. Which would explain why the spoke with you about how long their inventory has been on the shelf. NOT!

HarryEtTubMan6011d ago

haha They are scared. Bladestar is a little girl jealous of the PS3. Plain and simple. And his dreams are STILL going to be crushed in the end. Its a marathon. Not a sprint. And Sony is already taking the lead. 9 long years ahead for u guys but keep on hating.... its gonna make u that much more upset when Sony is kicking ur a$$

candystop6011d ago

Sony isnt winning sh!t so get over it biatch! I give you one more year to completly switch side and realize just how stupid you use to sound and be calling me your buddy lol!

Skerj6011d ago

It's Folklore by a LONG shot.

fredy6011d ago

like resistance and others only sold since there was nothing to play.(it's true)

R&C is just the same ol game with graphical improvements which was expected.

Heavenly sword is an Ok game kind of short but you can have just as much as fun with god of War 2 on the PS2.

If the game were selling like hotcakes to the masses with PS3's then yeah some would be underrated but if they don't sell much how is it underrated?

Games like "shadow of collosis" is underrated not simple games with just graphical improvements. which was expected.

PlayStation 3 Games That Desperately Need a PS5 Remaster

The PlayStation 3 may not have been the strongest generation for Sony, but there were still some diamonds in the rough that deserve a revisit as PS5 remasters.

Even if they could just remaster and put on PSVR2, some would still look great as VR titles and could do a whole lot to bolster the headset w these exclusives! I'd imagine the investment of reworking these titles into VR would be way less than building new games from the ground up, and they could be amazing experiences, and VR often makes flat games feel fresh again. The Resistance and Killzone games are particularly what I want to see!!

Rude-ro68d ago

I played killzone 3 in 3d and it really changed the game per being immersive.
In vr, that would be even more awesome.

darthv7268d ago

Funny you mention that... my son wanted to play some PS3 games in 3d on my PS tv and he was blown away by how good KZ3 was. It really was a great addition to the game. Im surprised there have not been more 3d games from that era being ported to the PSVR/VR2.

_SilverHawk_68d ago

resistance 1-3, killzone 1-3, uncharted 1-3, uncharted golden abyss, folklore, socom 4 , motorstorm, twisted metal, MAG, heavenly sword

Cacabunga68d ago

Killzone 2+3
Sly Thieves in Time
Crack in Time
God of War Ascension
Motorstorm
Modnation racer
Infamous 1+2

Profchaos68d ago (Edited 68d ago )

Killzone trilogy in VR would be amazing bonus points if they offer shadow fall.

There was a psvr1 Killzone project that supermassive was working on at one stage which wasn't up to scratch and Sony brand it back in house I was hoping we would see that on psvr2 eventually.

Personally I'd love to see some more love or acknowledgement of psvr2 from Sony in general it was a expensive headset and Sony barely acknowledge it's existence

seanpitt2368d ago

The amount of work needed to remaster these games wouldn't be beneficial on a financial and business sense.. MGS4 would probably be the best bet as it would need the least amount of work!

Iceball200068d ago

YEAAASSSSS! I miss this franchise and wanna play it so bad again.

Father__Merrin68d ago

The time is perfect for a resistance fall of man game campaign coop multiplayer

InUrFoxHole68d ago

The resistance series is str8 trash to me. Socom 3 I would welcome. Or killzone MP.

Marcus Fenix68d ago

A Resistance reboot will be awesome

Michiel198968d ago

That's what Bungie should make, Ill keep saying it until it happens

1Victor68d ago (Edited 68d ago )

Resistance was ok but Warhawk and Starhawk was better and kept me coming back for almost a decade of fun and petty revenge on the loud mouth unskilled players 🤣
Edit I loved capture the flag dropping the pot on the flag carrier was extremely satisfying as well as transforming your plane in bot form and stumping them to death 😱

Michiel198968d ago

Resistance was the best co-op fps I ever played after L4D2

Can We Finally Admit Assassin's Creed 3 Deserves an Apology?

AC3 was released during a turbulent transition period for Ubisoft and the Assassin's Creed series. It ventured into uncharted territory, narratively and mechanically, which caused it to receive mixed reviews. At its core, though, it's a damn good stealth game.

Nope, I hated 3, connar was bland, literally the most flat character in the entire game. Not to mention to myriad of bugs, camera issues, and that annoying thing where he automatically ditches his weapon you payed for for the sake of a cool finishing move forcing you to trek back to your base after almost every encounter just to re-equip your own weapon. It just didn't work as fluidly as the others like 2 and 4

Samonuske217d ago

The series peaked at AC3 for me. It’s been my favourite in the series. Connor will always be one of my favourite video game protagonists.

Becuzisaid217d ago

No. Game was BORING. Connor was really dull. Environments, while impressive, because of the geographic location and time period were not really exciting to be in. I would love some kind of game set in there colonial American time period, but a game like AC that back then centered around parkour and vertical traversal really didn't fit those environments.

-Foxtrot217d ago

Nope

There was a lot of issues but mine is how they handled the war

They told us Connor was not going to get involved, that the war was more of a background setting for the real story and it wasn’t going to be one sided

They lied, even the cinematic E3 trailer showed Connor emerge from the Colonist side and slaughter the red coats to get to his target, inspiring the Colonists to fight back

I just thought it would have made more sense lore wise that the red coats were mostly compiled of Assassins fighting the Colonist templars who wanted to take the new world for themselves.

Since the Red coats lost the war, it would then explain how the Templars started to gain the upper hand and how on the future the assassins were mostly killed off and the Templar’s had pretty much taken over everything.

Instead it just felt like they didn’t want to p*** off the American audience

Even Haytham was cool, he should have been an Assassin through and through and should have been the main lead.

toxic-inferno217d ago

The game even seems to lack the humour of the other games. It almost seems as though the idea of even slightly making fun of American history wouldn't be acceptable.

-Foxtrot216d ago

Exactly

It just felt super safe

“Better not make the colonists look super bad incase people boycott our game”

jeromeface216d ago

someone missed the whole point

-Foxtrot216d ago

There was literally no point

What I've just said above would at least make sense lore wise and why the Assassins start to loose their war, die off and how the Templars are in control in the future of almost everything....what they did was just, pointless

CrimsonWing69217d ago

I’m one one of those weird people that liked Ass Creed 3, but to be fair I never got around to finishing it.
