IGN - The Top 20 PlayStation 3 Exclusives of 2012

IGN - Which PS3-centric titles should you keep on your radar?

Snookies124411d ago

Wow, just the fact that there are 20 to choose from is amazing. Playstation is really cranking out those exclusives for sure. That Closure game really interests me... XD

xPhearR3dx4411d ago (Edited 4411d ago )

Quality > Quantity.

Plus, many of these are downloadable titles. If you were to count those for each platform, PC, Wii, and 360 would have just as many, if not more.

Edit: Except, 90% of this list isn't Uncharted quality.

Snookies124411d ago

Exactly, most PS3 exclusives are of AMAZING quality. Take Uncharted and Heavy Rain for example, or the God of War games.

Either way, people used to complain about PS3 not having any games when it first appeared, looks like that has changed drastically as of late which is definitely a good thing. ^^

Gamer19824411d ago (Edited 4411d ago )

What are you talking about half the titles on this list are quality titles. Nothing I am excited about personally but you couldn't write a list of 10 360 quality exclusive titles. Some games on there like Last Guardian and Twisted metal just cannot be matched on the 360. Not to mention the sheer amount of JRPGs on the list. Also downloadable titles? Only like 5-6 of them are downloadable.

I am not a ps3 fanboy or anything but 360 exclusive these days are usually kinect only titles. Its depressing me.. I only use my 360 for dance central now and sky player :(.

Boody-Bandit4411d ago

"Quality > Quantity"
Yes, this is without a doubt true. The best part of being a PS3 consumer is you get the best of both worlds.

GribbleGrunger4411d ago (Edited 4411d ago )

sorry Brutalhonesty, i pressed disagree by mistake. i actually agree with you and what that list shows quite clearly is:

Quality>diversity>quant ity

which is why i stick with Sony

CarlitoBrigante4411d ago

You forget that no other platform has this many amount of exclusives, they dont even come close to 5 exclusives LOL!

PS3 has quality AND quantity, Wii has no games, 360 has only couple of Kinect games left and PC... lol does it even have games outside those weird games no one plays?

PS3 offers something for everyone.

GraveLord4411d ago

Get ready to lose your last bubble!

PS3 has not only quality, but also quantity. They can do both unlike Microsoft who do Gears, Forza, Halo, Fable, Gears, Forza, Halo, Fable...etc.

BTW all those I listed are now yearly titles with the exception of Gears.

MaxXAttaxX4410d ago (Edited 4410d ago )

You people confuse me.... or is it that you are the ones confused?

In 2007 it was always quantity > quality when it came to 360 games vs PS3 games, because you know "PS3 has no games" remember?
But now that PS3 has the quantity, it's turned into quality > quantity?

Unfortunately for you, PS3 has both.
It has increased it's quantity AND variety while keeping the quality.

What's next? "exclusives don't matter anymore"?

lover20124410d ago (Edited 4410d ago )

@xPhearR3dx
i will always welcome Quality over Quantity
but then again Sony i doing both
that why uncharted 3 win all the gfx awards
and was one of the top 5 most awarded and rated games in 2011
go look at them in wiki
now where are gears 3 or forza 4 awards ???
don't bother here
gears3 only won 3 awards from the whole year lolXD
check wiki for your self
and
forza4 won nothing
those was the only exclusives on xbox last year

Omnislash4410d ago

Uhh yeah, Playstation has Quality AND Quantity, 360 has neither so...

schlanz4410d ago

Quantity usually means more quality, dude.

Is there more likely to be 3 amazing games out of 5 possible, or 20 possible games? Don't try to spin this into something negative.. There's nothing wrong with a little optimism.

_Aarix_4410d ago

Would all of you assholes quit trash talking the 360. Seriously the shits been getting old
For years. I love my ps3 as much as the next guy what with twisted metal, rachet and clank and heavy rain but the 360 is still an awesome console as well. They both have pros and cons in the overall experience that makes people have specific preferences over them. Grow up, both consoles are great. This is 2012, just love gaming and stop being assholes.

tiffac0084410d ago

Well it goes both ways, the ones trash talking and down playing what the PS3 has, needs to stop too.

Especially on PS3 centered articles.

As for the list almost half of them is what I'm waiting for.

I cannot wait for Ni No Kuni: Wrath of the White Witch

deep_fried_bum_cake4411d ago

Neither can I. I'll probably be importing it from America though because of the utterly stupid decision not to have the European and american release dates at the same time.

Krew_924411d ago

Yeah the game looks promising.

dedicatedtogamers4411d ago

I thought Ni No Kuni was also on DS? Oh well. I'm getting it on PS3 anyway.

Relientk774411d ago

I dont think Ni no Kuni is on the DS in the U.S. It is on the DS in Japan

dedicatedtogamers4411d ago

Ah ok. Thanks for the info, yo.

CLOUD19834411d ago

Ni No Kuni is the game always w8ing for to play from the time I buy my PS3, finally a traditional fairy-like turn-based JRPG with the original Japanese Voice Over included, and as all that wasn't enough we have even the legendary studio Ghibli the only anime studio in the world who have won an OSCAR and countless other awards to design the art! this game is the most "MUST-BUY/DAY1" title for me than any other ever in PS3.

End of 2012 they say eh? :/ w8ing for this game to be released will be unbearably...

ShaunCameron4411d ago (Edited 4411d ago )

LittleBigPlanet Karting
Sly Cooper: Thieves In Time
The Last Guardian
The Last Of Us
Starhawk (maybe)
Dragon's Crown (not listed, but I'm hoping Vanillaware's still working on it)

are the games I care to have.

Not a single Reistance? Fuck this article.

mastershredder21d ago (Edited 21d ago )

Starhawk over Warhawk?...... Dude, NO ONE should listen to you.

Odd choices for "best" more like you settled as these being the "best" that available to you at the time, cause a lot of these blow or were average to poor performers that ended up in bargain bin.

Missing too many great sci-fi titles here. The Void, The Resistance Series, Killzone 2 and 3, Enslaved, man.. there were so many, this is redicu-list.

FreeckyCake21d ago

Nobody should listen to you either with that attitude.

OtterX21d ago

I agree that Starhawk shouldn't be above Warhawk, however I must say that Starhawk multiplayer was incredible for its time! Many people wrote it off bc the single player was quite terrible, bc it was basically 1 huge tutorial for the multiplayer. But I can tell you never spent any significant amount of time in MP. It was doing incredibly tense base building w air, foot and land vehicle (and mech!) combat long before Fortnite was ever a thing.

I bet it would have been much better received if it had just ditched the story mode all together. So many people like yourself completely wrote it off based on reviews by reviewers that let the criticism of single player weigh heavily on their scores. I bet you didn't even play it.

Friendlygamer21d ago

The riddick games are some of the best stealth titles ever, highly underrated

YourMommySpoils21d ago

What games? All recall plating was Escape from Butcher Bay.

Friendlygamer21d ago (Edited 21d ago )

There's also the less acclaimed 'assault on dark Athena'

( also, not saying this to you specifically but there's both resistance and killzone games on the list, it's amazing how even something so simple and innocent as a game list can be turned into misinformed vitriol here lol )

jznrpg21d ago

Glad to see Resonance of Fate. Enslaved was pretty good too. I’m sure there are others nobody has listed but I’m too tired to try and think of anything

The Last Of Us Series Has Remarkable Potential For Spin-Offs

Najam from eXputer writes "It's time fore a new installment in the series, not another pointless remaster."

anast92d ago

They are working on something new. Not to be rude but it is impossibility stupid to think ND next major announcement is going to be a remaster or their next Last of Us entry is going to be another remaster.

AlterRecs89d ago

I think this is in response to them releasing a remaster for the sequel, a game that didn't need a remaster.

Basically a "why did you put out a remaster no one asked for when you have all there options available"

anast89d ago

They remaster is to put out something quick while they are deving new stuff. I don't get how people can be so static.

AlterRecs88d ago

There's no news about a third game being in production, you're just assuming that they're working on something that they aren't

anast88d ago

When they release the news to start the hype-train, you can give me my props then.

DrDoomer92d ago

I want an alternate timeline spin-off, where part 2 never happened.

CrimsonWing6992d ago

They’ve already done Remasters of 1 and 2… what else is there to Remaster?

AlterRecs89d ago

Considering they remastered the first game twice, who knows lol

CrimsonWing6989d ago

That was a Remake. I guess they could do that to 2, but man…. They should wait a couple generations so it can look like a major upgrade.
