It’s safe to say that the PlayStation 3<\/a> didn’t have the smoothest start to life during the buildup to its November 2006 release. Sony’s console had numerous delays, was excessively expensive, and frustrated gamers with its lack of PS2 disc compatibility. Because of this, Sony handed an audience of gamers to Microsoft’s Xbox 360<\/a> and they struggled to regain the faith of many until their excellent PS4 launch.<\/p>\n

The poor marketing of the console was a great shame, as it could be retrospectively argued that the PS3’s hardware was underappreciated. The console may not have had the best start to life, but it showed by the end of its cycle that it was indeed the PS2 upgrade that everyone had hoped for. Even today, many PS3 games look fantastic to the modern eye and exemplify why the PS3 doesn’t deserve to be looked upon as a disappointment<\/a>. The ten games on this list, in particular, show just how cutting edge the PS3 was during its lifespan.<\/p>\n

10 <\/span>Dark Souls<\/h2>\n
<\/figure>\n

With the thousands of articles and YouTube videos covering FromSoftware’s iconic\u00a0Dark Souls,<\/em> there’s not much to say about the game that hasn’t already been said. One thing that is often overlooked in favor of lore, bosses<\/a>, and level design, however, is the game’s aesthetics. Despite lacking the huge budget of some of the other games on this list, FromSoftware created one of the most visually memorable games on the PS3, with environments that helped enhance or even tell the game’s story.<\/p>\n

Of the many incredible sights, being carried over Anor Londo’s huge surrounding walls to see the area for the first time is undoubtedly the most iconic.<\/p>\n

9 <\/span>Killzone 2<\/h2>\n
<\/figure>\n

Killzone 2\u00a0<\/em>may seem like an odd inclusion on this list, as\u00a0Killzone 3\u00a0<\/em>released on the same console; but it earns a spot for two reasons. Firstly, the game came out early in the console’s lifecycle and was one of the first games to truly show off the console’s hardware. Secondly, despite the game releasing two years prior, many people believe\u00a0that it looks even better than<\/a>\u00a0<\/a>Killzone 3.<\/em><\/a>\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n

The game wasn’t a perfect advert for the PS3, as\u00a0its poor implementation of motion controls didn’t do Sony any favors, but it certainly set a benchmark for graphics and aesthetics.<\/p>\n

8 <\/span>Bioshock Infinite<\/h2>\n
<\/figure>\n

The original\u00a0Bioshock\u00a0<\/em>was close to making it onto this list, as Rapture still feels as immersive and intimidating as it did when it first released; but it’s hard to deny just how impressive\u00a0Bioshock Infinite<\/em>‘s floating city still looks today.<\/p>\n

The game’s developer Irrational Games were rewarded for their effort at the\u00a02014 Game Developer Choice Awards, winning the award for Best Visual Art.<\/a><\/p>\n

7 <\/span>God of War III<\/h2>\n
<\/figure>\n

It may seem easy to dismiss God of War III<\/em>, as 2018’s\u00a0God of War\u00a0<\/em>set a new standard of visual design for the series; this would be a disservice to the 2010 game though, as\u00a0God of War III<\/em>‘s\u00a0visual design\u00a0played an important role\u00a0in enhancing the epic adventure.<\/p>\n

The boss fights, in particular, benefited from\u00a0SCE Santa Monica Studio’s attention to detail, as the character models\u00a0gave the series its best collection of fights to date<\/a>. The David vs Goliath fight against\u00a0Cronos was particularly memorable, as the sheer size of the titan made\u00a0for a memorable battle.<\/p>\n

6 <\/span>The Last Of Us<\/h2>\n
<\/figure>\n

The Last of Us\u00a0<\/em>was one of the PS3’s last major releases<\/a>, so it wasn’t a surprise when early screenshots showed off the impressive visuals. Despite the lofty expectations, Naughty Dog amazed players with its unsettlingly immersive post-apocalyptic world that taught the player without words the devastation that happened between the game’s opening and its jump to twenty years later.<\/p>\n

The Last of Us’\u00a0<\/em>narrative understandably receives the bulk of the game’s praise<\/a>, but the incredible landscapes helped enhance it each\u00a0step of the way.<\/p>\n

5 <\/span>Grand Theft Auto V<\/h2>\n
<\/figure>\n

At this point, it’s easy to forget that\u00a0Grand Theft Auto V was\u00a0<\/em>released\u00a0around the same time as\u00a0The Last of Us\u00a0<\/em>on PS3. Despite the game’s numerous updates and latest iterations, GTA 5<\/em>\u00a0still looks as incredible<\/a> as before on the PlayStation 3.<\/p>\n

Rockstar\u00a0may want to\u00a0consider sending CD Projekt a fruit basket or something, as\u00a0Cyberpunk 2077<\/em>‘s poor console performance has indirectly reminded people of just how impressive GTA 5<\/em> was for 2013.<\/p>\n

4 <\/span>\u014ckami HD<\/h2>\n
<\/figure>\n

Originally released on the PS2<\/a>, \u014ckami\u00a0<\/em>came to the PS3 over six years after its initial release in the form of a high-definition remaster.\u00a0HexaDrive had the difficult job of\u00a0improving upon Clover Studio’s stunning art design but managed it by not trying to complicate things and simply fine-tuning the pre-existing visuals.<\/p>\n

\u014ckami HD\u00a0<\/em>also helped the IP reach the sales figures that it deserved, as the original release went somewhat under the radar despite its whopping 93 Metascore<\/a>.<\/p>\n

3 <\/span>Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns Of The Patriots<\/h2>\n
<\/figure>\n

The first\u00a0Metal Gear Solid\u00a0<\/em>game to release on the PlayStation 3 was always going to have a huge weight of expectations on its shoulders, and the high hopes of fans went through the roof when they saw the first batch of images and trailers for\u00a0Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns Of The Patriots.<\/em><\/p>\n

Releasing all the way back in 2008,\u00a0Guns of the Patriots,\u00a0<\/em>much like the aforementioned\u00a0Killzone 2,\u00a0<\/em>was an important release for Sony as it showed off the PlayStation 3’s hardware at a time when the public perception of the console was still quite negative.<\/p>\n

2 <\/span>Uncharted 3: Drake\u2019s Deception<\/h2>\n
<\/figure>\n

The third entry to the PlayStation 3’s most iconic trilogy<\/a>,\u00a0Uncharted 3\u00a0<\/em>may not have been as well-received as its predecessor, but the visuals certainly surpassed it.<\/p>\n

Whereas\u00a0Uncharted 2: Among Thieves\u00a0<\/em>largely took place among snowy mountains,\u00a0Uncharted 3: Drake\u2019s Deception\u00a0<\/em>predominantly featured scorching deserts. Many visuals details can be praised, but the game’s sand physics, in particular, deserves the most acclaim.<\/p>\n

1 <\/span>Beyond: Two Souls<\/h2>\n
<\/figure>\n

Quantic Dream’s follow-up to the revolutionary\u00a0Heavy Rain<\/em> (which nearly made it onto this list) offered one of the most movie-like game experiences ever released up until that point.<\/p>\n

The big-budget cast that included\u00a0Willem Dafoe and Elliot Page didn’t just provide vocal performances, but motion capture too; the expensive cast would have been\u00a0wasted if it wasn’t for how incredibly detailed the character models and more specifically, the facial expressions were.<\/p>\n

Sadly, the game failed to impress, scoring just 70 on Metacritic<\/a>.\u00a0However, it showed just how far the gaming industry had come, and why it was becoming\u00a0such a powerful form of media.<\/p>\n
