The Exclusive Arms Race: 2009 Update

Gaming Target examines and analyzes the exclusive titles for each consoles that are scheduled to be released in 2009:

"Unsurprisingly, the Wii will see the most exclusive releases in 2009. This is understandable as there will be plenty of games available for the PS3 and Xbox 360 that won't be on the Wii (anti-exclusives, you could say). But that's not to say the Wii's large quantity of exclusives comes from castoffs and shovelware (it's important to note this list does not include any of the shovelware that's been announced for the Wii). Instead, I say 2009 is the year that third parties finally get a handle on the Wii and start producing good games that even hardcore gamers can't ignore."

Of course they missed a small game like Yakuza 3 or Free Realsm or announced Ratchet and Clank sequeal or even war devil.

Typical Bias crap .. dont give them any hits

KingJFS5566d ago

Yakuza 3 - No American release date, no rumored release date
Free Realms - No PS3 release date, no rumored release date
announced Ratchet and Clank sequeal - Currently unannounced
war devil - No release date, no rumored release date

None of those games qualify for an article of "2009 releases."

LoL at the fool trying to downplay the ps3's incredible lineup. Funny thing is the ps3 will yet again have the highest rated exclusives of 2009.

PS3 vs WII with the 360 having neither

PS3 FTW!!!!

goflyakite5566d ago

Alright lets have a look.

From this list:

51 Wii EXCLUSIVE games.
14 PS3 EXCLUSIVE games.
10 360 EXCLUSIVE games.

That's too bad, the 360's in last.

It sucks that every other 360 'exclusive' comes to the PC.

ReaperXL75566d ago

Adding games like Halo Chronicles,Huxley, Splinter Cell Conviction to the 360 list almost completely screws this up entirely, as these games have never recived even rumored release dates.

I have wanted to get my hands on Huxley for along time, but I really don't ever expect it to be released.

Darkseider5566d ago

Huxley while it looks interesting has already been done a LONG time ago by none other than SOE. There is this MMOFPS w/ RPG elements still up and running by the name of PlanetSide.

Just thought I would throw that out there.

has been in korea for the longest time. I will tell you why there is no release date on it. IT FAILED. The game was suppose to play like COD4 but it works like UT3, but even faster and you can't aim correctly. The bots move so fast that they make the flash seem slow. I was sooo hyped up about this game that i even found out a way to create a Korean SSN and mailing address. When i finally got to play it I was so pissed. They promised so much stuff and they can't even get the gameplay right.

I am looking forward to APB, but that game is not even in closed beta yet. So it does not have a release date. Thus, it should not even be mentioned in this article

Tales Of Graces Ƒ Retro Review – Holding Out For a Hero

Gary Green said: Namco Bandai heard the call of many fans asking for the PlayStation release of Tales of Graces which was originally released seemingly exclusively for the Wii back in 2009. If you’re acquainted with the Tales series then Graces f won’t be something entirely new to you, yet if you’re a newcomer then you’ll find a plethora of gameplay mechanics and nuances that distinguish this series from other JRPGs. While the game finds itself following the traditional archetype of JRPGs, such as a somewhat clichéd story, Graces has something to offer to both veterans and newcomers alike.

It's A Crime That There's No Sleeping Dogs 2 Yet

Huzaifah from eXputer: "Sleeping Dogs from the early 2010s is one of the best open-world games out there but in dire need of a resurgence."

LG_Fox_Brazil3d ago

I agree, I consider the first one a cult classic already

isarai3d ago

You say "yet" as if it's even possible anymore. United Front Games is gone, along with anyone that made this game what it is

CrimsonWing692d ago

That’s what happens when games sell poorly. And I’ve seen people wonder why people cry when a game sells badly… this is your answer.

solideagle2d ago

Majority of the time it's true but if a company/publisher is big (in terms of money), they can take a hit or 2. e.g. I am not worried about Rebirth sales as Square will make Remake 3 anyway but if FF 17 doesn't sell then Square might need to look for alternative. <-- my humble opinion

Abnor_Mal2d ago

Doesn’t Microsoft own the IP now since they acquired Activision?

DaReapa2d ago

No. Square Enix owns the IP.

Abnor_Mal2d ago

Oh okay, Activision owned True Crime, but when that didn’t sell as intended it was canceled. Six months later Square Enix bought the rights and changed the title to Sleeping Dogs.*

*As per Wikipedia

boing12d ago (Edited 2d ago )

Sleeping Dogs was a sleeper hit back then. It was fantastic. It actually still is. Would love a sequel to this, or at least a revive of True Crime series.
