Hidden Gems!

[Goshikk]

Even to own, unless you’re a weirdo who wants the stand-alone copy, it’s extremely cheap too. It was one of the first games I got with my XBox when I got it used. It was, like, $7 for a complete copy of the bundle.

Only thing weirder than that would be someone who enjoys the other half of the bundle

That would be me. SEGA GT 2002 is a fun sim racer. Not a “must buy” though. What you’re really doing is spending less on Jet Set.

Like Roommania #203 but with a robot girl

Including both PS1 and PS2 results in quite a long list of answers, but to add to this the game that comes to mind for me is Linda Cubed Again an enhanced remake the PC Engine CD rpg a la the Lunar games. This is the only version I know of that has an english patch. I suspect this game inspired the Pokemon series but its way more interesting than those

I've searched "hidden gems ps3" on google and I clicked on the link without seeing it was for this forum :D
I will also look among the topics here (I've seen a used and cheap ps3 in a store near me and I'm thinking of buying it)

I’m personally iffy on it and pirate warriors. My favorite modern musous are WO3, DW7-8, Persona 5 Strikers and Hyrule Warriors.

Hyrule Warriors is fun. I put a lot of time into every version of that game. I think Fire Emblem Warriors is even better.

the miku ones
thats it
nothing else

I could say Sleeping Dogs or Metal Gear Solid 4 but to avoid repetition...
Alice Madness returns!

(I'm still waiting for its sequel, but I'm aware that it will never happen after everything that happened around its development. :c)

Someone has already mentioned Project Diva, so I'm just gonna add to that by saying those games are the one of the reasons why I even got a PS3 to begin with (The other reasoning is a long story, but to make it short, my brother ended up giving the PS3 to my sister when she moved away. It's fine because the one My brother had was the third revision if memory serves me right, and I like the second revision better!)

Another pick of mine is Rune Factory Tides of Destiny. I may have not played it yet, but I will someday! Farming sims are a favorite genre of mine so I'm sure I'll end up loving it regardless.

Sony has this legacy of pouring a bunch of cash into games nobody remembers or cared about at the time, on ps2 it was mark of kri, primal, and ghosthunter. on the triple you get afrika and puppeteer. Afrika is a really fun wildlife photography game, in my experience it gets over bigly when you show it to people who aren't gamers. puppeteer is a gorgeous sidescrolling puzzle platformer with a dope aesthetic.

I watched youtube essay on this, it is indeed a fascinating game that is way more interesting than any pokemon game I've ever tried.

 

[King Torro]

Demon's Souls
Red Dead Redemption 1 GOTY (though not the best version of the game)
Metal Gear Solid : Legacy Collection (absolutely amazing value)
Soul Calibur V
Soul Calibur IV
Tekken 6
God of War 3

Mad Stalker is a remake of an old game originally released for the PC-Engine and some Japanese computers. It is one of the best retro mech games out there, imo.

 

[Badseed Badseed]

I bought a hard drive for my 360 just to run this

 

[trickybus]

Damn, first time I got to one of these late and didn't see my game already listed. Ya'll are sleeping on Ms. Splosion Man. If you're someone who enjoys a great platformer with unique mechanics, a silly story and a fantastic co-op experience for up to 4 players, you need to play this game.

Yes, the title is a play on Ms. Pac-Man. The tone of this series (this game is a sequel to Splosion Man) is satirical. Anything and everything related to gaming and pop culture is referenced and caricatured. There's nothing preachy about it and it's not trying to send a "message"; it's just goofy fun.

You probably didn't get this vibe looking at the cover but this game is not easy. The platforming starts off manageable but eventually, that difficulty curve kicks in and dying becomes common place. I enjoyed the challenge but there is a skip function for those who may get frustrated, a nice little QoL mechanic that lets people enjoy the whole game even if they get stuck at a tough section. There is a downside to using the skip function but this is more than made-up for because on the other hand, you get to listen to Vegeta's voice actor sing about girls with big butts.

No, I'm not joking.

Where were we?

Don't Lose! Kendo Magic 2: Fighter with RPG elements where you gain power as you go through the game.

Fireman 2 Pete and Danny: Oh wow, I didn't know there was a sequel to Fireman, I loved the SNES game!

Love and Destroy: Mech and Dating Sim, nice! Sadly there's no fan translation.

Galaxy Fight

Abalaburn: Budget title that feels part Megaman Legends, and part 2d Arcade Fighter.

Kileak The DNA Imperative: Pre-Residen Evil FPS/Survival game that pre-dates Resident Evil. It's also got Live Action Cutscenes. I played this during the PS1 era. Warning: More of an interesting curiousity than anything else, and it's really really hard!

Novastorm: Shoot em up with FMVs that hold up surprisingly well, feeling like a playable cutcenes.

Mad Stalker: Oooh, another beat em up that I didn't know about. It looks great, and it's all about building up your attacks.

Gunm Martian Memory: Whoah! There's Battle Angel Alita video game? And it's an action rpg?!!! And it's good?!!! How did I not know about this?

 

[proto51]

Just Modded my psp and was wondering if y'all know any underrated/hidden gems.

 

[SliperyHippo]

I'm a big Max Payne fan and I think Dead to Rights: Reckoning is worth looking into if you like campy early 2000's shooters.

 

[Metroid_Hybrid]

While not exactly "Hidden," as more-or-less unplayable (in English) without a modded PSP..

Monster Hunter Portable 3rd

I would love to put together a team over xlink kai one of these days..

While I don't know for sure if it's a "hidden gem", maybe Gurumin: A Monstrous Adventure?

 

[Turbo Kid]

This is basically Dynasty Warriors 6 & 7

There's a lot of interesting imports besides the ones I've mentioned
