Just got my old PS3 shipped to me - any games stuck in last gen I should check out?

I wanted to replay SMT: Nocturne so I got my old PS3 shipped from home. While I'm excited to replay one of my top games of all time, it feels silly to get a whole console for one (PS2) game. I'm looking for games stuck in last gen that are either available digitally (much preferred) or cheap to get physically.

I can only think of Demon Souls and I might well get it but there's a rumored remaster coming as well.

Thanks!

Metal gear solid 4 and it will probably never be ported to any other console or PC

Might want to clarify your platforms and whether you can stomach streaming via PSnow.

Just look up PS3 games not available on PC or 360. I got one in Jan and I pretty much bought almost all the unique PS3 games (Nier, Ratchet Future games, Resistance/Killzone/inFamous Trilogy, Sly Games, Xilia, Mk vs DC, Folklore, Motorstorm and bunch PS Move games). Some of them cost a pretty penny. Also if you had PS plus for a while you might have a couple of digital PS3 games. I didnt know I had Demon Souls, Puppeteer and Scott Pilgrim vs the World and bunch of others like Yakuza 5 and Persona 4 Arena U.

Ratchet and clank series! Future Series + Into the Nexus and you're good. Unless you missed the original games, then get the HD remasters as well

Twisted Metal. It may not have the best campaign but it has the best gameplay and bosses of the whole series.

So many games.
Basically, you should check out lots of PS3 exclusives that didn't make it to this gen: --- inFamous saga (the first one is very rough tho, and barely unplayable to these days, but the plot is tightly linked between those games)
- Motorstorm Pacific Rift and Apocalypse
- Twisted Metal
- Starhawk
- Sly 4, Puppeteer, the 4 main Ratchet future games
- Folklore
- Killzone and Resistance games, all of them
- Gran Turismo 6
- Rain (literally loved that game, a shame it was so underrated)
- MGS 4
- Dead Space trilogy, Mass Effect trilogy
- The Saboteur, Shadows of the Damned, Castlevania Lords of Shadow, Binary Domain, Asura's Wrath, Call of Juarez: Bound in Blood and Gunslinger, Lollipop Chainsaw

I'm probably forgetting many others.

Click to expand...
Click to shrink...
This is basically THE list.

I will specifically call out for anyone to try Starhawk, Binary Domain and especially Shadows of the Damned. All great games.

I love the Yakuza series and I love janky experimental games like Deadly Premonition but man

I tried... But Yakuza Dead Souls played so bad I just couldn't deal with it.
