Title: PS3- Cabinet friendly games??
Post by: DataWest on May 18, 2011, 02:09:07 am
Thinking about adding a PS3 to my cabinet. Controls are not an issue, I already have that all figured out. What games are exclusive to the PS3 that are cabinet worthy? Do any of you all have a PS3 in your cab?

If the PS3 can play ps1./2 games this list is gonna be pretty long.

I hooked a ps3 up to my cab to play Super Street Fighter II HD Remix.

Super Stardust HD. 

That game was clearly inspired by arcade-style gameplay, and it rocks (no pun intended).  I think it would make a kick ass gaming experience to play it on a cabinet.

I've heard its great, but I imagine it uses analog controls. I can do d-pad only.

Ahh, that's too bad.  The game easily has the strongest "arcade DNA" of any PS3 game I've played to date.  Game play sample: Super Stardust HD (PS3): 5 Minutes of Gameplay (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Jhhocl7jf3o#)

Another possibility is the absolutely fantastic Pac-Man Championship Edition DX.  One of the most addictive games I've ever played.  Trailer - PAC-MAN CHAMPION'S EDITION DX for PS3 and Xbox 360 (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=czRv1az4J5c#ws)

Another one that probably isn't for everybody is Everyday Shooter.  Like Stardust, it's a twin-stick shooter that you can play with the analog sticks but I believe the control is technically only 8-way.  The directional shooting can be accomplished with the different buttons on the PS3 controller.  The all-guitar soundtrack is very cool.  Everyday Shooter PS3 Official Trailer (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kUw3ZNzvXBM#)

I think from what I have read, the XB has more cab friendly type games because there are more SHMUPS on the xbox, among other things...
