Sony Announces 34 PS3 Games At Gamer's Day
destinyland writes "Sony just announced a whopping 34 titles that are upcoming for the PlayStation 3. Despite record losses for the game group, their stock shot to a five-year high and they promised to eliminate 80% of their operating loss within one year. Analysts think that Sony's plan for that might include eventually lowering prices for the PS3." The 'Gamers Day' event featured a great deal of new information about Sony products and services, including the new PSP Store. Joystiq had some hands-on time with highly anticipated titles like LittleBigPlanet and Heavenly Sword.
Ninja Gaiden Sigma, Rainbow Six: Vegas, Lair, Warhawk, Stranglehold, Ghost Recon: Advanced Warfighter 2, Stuntman: Ignition, Heavenly Sword, and Sega Rally Revo are all due before the end of September.
Oh, I got that right here. My close, personal friend, Dick Marks, posted them here. The one I'm REALLY looking forward to, is the untitled, unannounced sports game from a to-be-determined studio.
Apology to Ubuntu forum.
There's more of an actual list, although still only showing about half of the games, over at 3 -games-sony-strikes-back/>Gamer.Blorge.com</a> But even then of those (which I assume are the best ones in order to get mentioned) only about 3 are exclusives. The others are either going to be available on many platforms, or just sequels to franchises... A good summary was over on Fark somewhere..
SingStar Another franchise entry
Heavenly Sword
Uncharted: Drake's Fortune
Pirates of the Caribbean: At World's End Movie tie-in
Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix Movie tie-in
Madden NFL 08 Another franchise entry
Tom Clancy's Rainbow Six Vegas Another franchise entry
Grand Theft Auto IV Another franchise entry
Brothers in Arms: Hell's Highway Another franchise entry
Ninja Gaiden Sigma Another franchise entry
Tom Clancy's Splinter Cell Double Agent Another franchise entry
The Bigs Not exclusive, seems like a lame faux sports title.
NCAA Football 2008 Another franchise entry
Timeshift PS3 Not exclusive
Assassin's Creed Not exclusive
The Darkness Not exclusive
Lair
All Pro Football 2K8 Another franchise entry (Used to be the ESPN NFL line)
You have basically 3 exclusives.. yay.
I'm a fiscal conservative, it's a pity we don't have a political party anymore
This is just a summary of the best ones * Heavenly Sword * LittleBigPlanet * SOCOM Confrontation * Folklore * Uncharted: Drake's Fortune * Lair * Ratchet & Clank A good summary with screenshots, comments and videos can be found on 1up: http://www.1up.com/do/newsStory?cId=3159592 LittleBigPlanet, Folklore, Lair, Drake's Fortune and Heavenly Sword are all of them very bad news for the Xbox360 and even the Wii. Yes, even the Wii. Oh and take a laugh with the Pain simulator!
Nintendo understands the ADD generation where ridiculous short party games are all that many ppl find fun today. Some of us others still enjoy the epic detailed intricate hard games that come with 360/PS3 territory.
I'm over 5 hours into Paper Mario: Lost in Time and doubt that I'm 1/3 of the way through the game yet. I hardly doubt that qualifies as an ADD game. Some of the fights are a major pain in the ass. Its possible I just suck at it, but I doubt it.
