Forums - Gaming Discussion - PlayStation 3: All Time Greatest Exclusives List

new thread, replaces this one, includes xbox games: http://gamrconnect.vgchartz.com/thread.php?id=128625

this is a list of all playstation exclusives. for it to be included on the list. it has to have either a Gameranking or Metacritic score above 80. i included the ign score as well, but a game will not be on the list if it has >80 ign score but not metacritic/gamerankings. 

i also left off casual/party games, or just arcady type games, also no psn only games. (so a game like Singstar is not on the list, and neither is some download only game). also no move only games. This list is mostly AAA and AA titles only. 

what makes it exclusive?:

-not on any other system

-only on a PlayStation

- different enough from its psp, ps2 counterparts (so games like MLB: The Show count)

if you think that i missed any games please tell me and i will add it.

the PS3 exclusive list didnt start off with a bang, though some games just missed the cut (like Ridge Racer). but it has been a tour de Force for several years now.

so as you can see with the scores, ign seems to score game slighlty higher. especially earlier in this gen. early in the ps3 life cycle ign ranked the ps3 games fairly high in comparison to others, but interesting enough lately that does not seem to be the case. you might be able to see a trend starting in late 2010, ign started rating games either very close to the gameranking and metacritic score, or below it. that is especially evident in 2011

uncharted :P



Hopefully IGN will be in a good mood when infamous 2 releases.



Year by year, I got:

  • 1 PS3 exclusive from 2007:Uncharted
  • 3 from 2008:  Metal Gear 4, Little Big Planet, Valkyria Chronicles
  • 3 from 2009: inFamous, Uncharted 2, God of War Collection
  • 2 from 2010:  God of War 3, Heavy Rain
  • 2 from 2011:  Killzone 3 (took back to Gamestop, though) and Little Big Planet 2.

11 PS3 games for me!  I wish they'd toss in a list for PSN games, though. There were some great ones like Super Stardust and Flower.



really... no one is posting.

well here is a list of the xbox games

basically same rules apply.

but i did include games also on PC (to make it more balanced), though i did italicize the PC games. 

i tallied the xbox ONLY games, and the XBOX/PC games (you can see the totals, where it says TITLE) and then added them for the total amount of games.

again, if you feel i either unjustly included or didnt include a game, please just tell me, and i will look into it.

xbox got off to a very good start, securing many titles when the ps3 didnt exist, but the game rampage has been dialed back lately. again ign ranks their games slightly higher. ironically enough, earlier in this gen, ign ranked the games much closer to the gameranking. metacritc counterparts, but lately, starting around 2010, ign started ranking the games more higher than meta/rankings, the opposite of what appears to be happening with ps3.

 

okay xbox fans, i included you games too, so you can join in, and discuss your awesome games

they, who's they?

im the one who made the list, and i made the rules for exclusive. i thought it would be more fair to just include the bigger, more important, retail games. also i included xbox games



mods can you lock this thread, the title excludes xbox games, so i made a new thread including it.

new thread below

my favorite year was 2008 dough...MGS4 & Valkyria Chronicles are just too good ^^

but believe me 2012 will top all of this...
