PlayStation 3 Platinum Range Expands

Jem Alexander of the EU Playstation Blog writes: On September 2nd the PlayStation 3 Platinum range received a handful of new titles. These popular games require no introduction and may well be of interest to any recent purchasers of the new PS3 model.

All these games have reached sales of over 400,000 and so to celebrate we are offering consumers a chance to add these unmissable titles to their collection for an unbeatable price – £19.99 / €29.99.

Good idea release all of last year good games for all the new users the slim has created.

DrWan5381d ago

I am surprised they are doing this so quick, but they were quick with Uncharted and we have only just gotten it. So dont expect USA to follow suit.

PLAYINB3YOND5381d ago

Platinum games are a great deal, especially for all the new ps3 owners we are now seeing we should expect nearly every good PS3 game to hit platinum :)

BulletToothtony5381d ago

Killzone 2 only sold 50,000 copies..

wxer5381d ago

killzone2 sold 2 millions in 6 mouthes

the idea of Platinum is
after the game sales 1 million
and after they get their money back and make some profit
its okay to cut the price

great move

Karum5381d ago

Actually wxer I think the requirement for Platinum is that it sells 500k rather than 1 million, I'm certain I read that somewhere in the past but could be wrong.

FamilyGuy5381d ago

That doesn't sound right, where Naruto:Ultimate Ninja:Storm at then? It's been out for a long time now and I read it was at something like 700K sales. Maybe 1 Million is the real marker.

i well get MotorStorm Pacific Rift
but i really hate the Platinum cover , cant they use a better looking covers ewwwe .

Karum5381d ago

Pacific Rift is great fun and the 2 expansion packs they have released so far add a ton of sweet extra content. Definitely one of my favourite racing games to relax with.

DK_Kithuni_715381d ago

Do you play the cover? Black or grey? Who the hell cares? The content of the Blu-ray disc is what matters.

KruLLit5381d ago

I hate those covers as well. A sticker should be enough.

sniper-squeak5381d ago

I'm a game collector and it kinda ruins my collection lol, so that's why I stick to first day buy's now.

I did get my first PS3 kinda late (only a month ago) but the platinum covers look like they take less money to produce... maybe that's what add's to the lower price of platinum games?

Tee7soo5381d ago

topdawg1225381d ago

wxer5381d ago (Edited 5381d ago )

http://www.n4g.com/industry...

this is a great move by Sony

the kings of the industry

ukilnme5381d ago

I applaud this move so much that I will wait for all PS3 titles to hit bargain bins/rates before I buy them.

FlipMode5381d ago

@above

lol wow that was a dumb comment.

kissmeimgreek5381d ago

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-ro85d ago

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

darthv7285d 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_85d ago

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

Cacabunga85d ago

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

Profchaos85d ago (Edited 85d 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

seanpitt2385d 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!

Iceball200085d ago

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

Father__Merrin85d ago

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

InUrFoxHole85d ago

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

Marcus Fenix85d ago

A Resistance reboot will be awesome

Michiel198985d ago

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

1Victor85d ago (Edited 85d 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 😱

Michiel198985d ago

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

SullysCigar389d ago

Up there with the top tier in the industry. Love Guerrilla Games - Horizon Burning Shores is simply STUNNING.

1Victor389d ago

Can’t wait for their next franchise

SullysCigar389d ago

Same. They nailed it with Horizon. The trouble is I also want a new Killzone! Can't I just have it all?!

jznrpg389d ago

I’m with you I want Horizon 3 , Killzone and new IPs

badz149389d ago

I have yet to play Burning Shores as I just started Forbidden West (bought at launch, just unwrapped last weekend LOL) and playing on PS5.

man...I still can't believe the graphics especially now I'm playing it on my LG OLED. that graphics and with stable performance backing it up, GG really is the master of their craft!

Vengeance1138389d ago

32.7M sales in the Horizon franchise! With 8.4M coming from Forbidden West alone! Truly a hugely successful game and franchise as a whole. Looking forward to Horizon III

Shane Kim389d ago

That's kind of a huge drop though. It's only been two games.

VersusDMC389d ago

One year after realease HZD sold 7.6 million.

https://www.noobfeed.com/ne...

So not a drop off.

Unless you're saying a HFW should have sold as much now as HZD sold in 5 years?

Vengeance1138389d ago

It's been 3 games, this includes Call of the Mountain. Also no, its a great improvement over HZD.

solideagle389d ago

lol you are comparing:

HZD: 28 February 2017 - May 2023 (6 years+)

HFW: 18 February 2022 - May 2023 (1 year+)

We will see if it surpass original number.

Phoenix76389d ago

@shane, 2 full main games, 2 DLC add ons, 1 VR spin off game, oh and a an official LEGO set.
Not too bad for an ip that's only been on market for 6 years

REDGUM389d ago

Wow, very impressive. I didn't know the numbers were so high for Forbidden West. Still playing through it myself

thesoftware730389d ago (Edited 389d ago )

Yooo, when I first saw that Killzone 1 footage at E3, my friends my brothers and I were like, Holy shit! When it came out, it didn't look exactly like it, but we sunk so many hours into 1 & 2.

I even liked Killzone: SF, it was a spectacle to look at, and even today it looks good. I hope they make a new one. Can you imagine how that will look, and they can get some modern FPS pointers from Bungie.

blacktiger389d ago

thank you fps lover, I'm with you

talocaca389d ago

Such a wonderful studio. They deserve all their success.

The Decima Engine is absolute 🔥 I'm just mad they have abandoned Killzone.

OzzY-waZZy389d ago (Edited 389d ago )

Kinda wish they move on from Horizon tbh.

potatoseal389d ago

They are probably working on mutiple projects. One of them is Horizon 3, but another is a multiplaer game and probably somehting else.

Imalwaysright389d ago

There were rumours that they were working on a Socom reboot.
