Video game releases of 2013: List of multiplats and exclusives (PIC)

GC: 2012 is almost out of the way, and it’s time to look forward to the next year. Here’s a list of all the video games that are confirmed for 2013.

[Smurf1]

PS3 seems to have a lot of exclusives next year, especially Beyond: Two Souls. I'm so excited to play that!

[MikeMyers]

Just a quick correction to the article.

"The PS3 didn’t have a good 2012 when it comes to exclusive games. We only saw a bunch of casual ones like Wonderbook and games like Playstation All-Stars Battle Royale–which didn’t really set the charts on fire."

That's not really true. Starhawk and Twisted Metal came out earlier this year.

Now going into 2013 I have these on my radar:

GTA V
Bioshock Infinite
Tomb Raider
Watch Dogs
Metro Last Light
Star Wars 1313
Dragon Age 3
Grid 2
Company of Heroes 2
Total War Rome II
Command & Conquer
The Last of Us
Beyond
Pikmin 3
Lego City Undercover
Bayonetta 2

[Chris558]

Where is your god of war bro

[MikeMyers]

Not a huge fan of the franchise, same with Gears of War. I have God of War 3 and the remastered package of the first two on my PS3, as well as Chains for my PSP. All good games but I'm getting a bit tired of them. Too many other games I'm anticipating.

[Cam977]

If you buy them all then that's ~£600 of games.

[shutUpAndTakeMyMoney]

Ps3 may have a lot of games but 360 gots windows 8 tiles you mad?

/s

[shivvy24]

yep keep staring at your tiles , ill play my games

[punisher99]

"Ps3 may have a lot of games but 360 gots windows 8 tiles you mad?"

Windows 8? Windows 8 is freaking horrible.

[iWishTifaWasReal]

Find DevilMayCry in the picture

its says

"F*ck You DMC"

lmao

[showtimefolks]

damn most of 3rd party games aren't coming out for wii-u? nintendo really needs to get all these 3rd party publishers in a room and ask for their support. This is not a good sign for wii-u

in first 5-6 months of 2013 no matter which console you own you will have a lot of choices for quality games

beyond 2 souls-day one
god of war-day one
last of us-day one
gta 5-day one
bioshock-day one
MGR-unless P-Games does something wrong which they won't and since kojima productions are taking care of story its a day one for me
yakuza 5-will be a day one whenever it comes out in the west, also i hope yakuza hd collection comes to west

sly4-maybe day one but have to wait for some reviews
tomb raider-this is a rent for me, 12-15hrs story
DMC-a rent

overall just a great year for all different system owners along with PC

this lineup means ps4-next xbox announcement at E3?

also do you think it makes sense to announce ps4 and next xbox than wait a year to release in 2012? the only reason i am asking is because nintendo did it like that. my gut feeling is ps4 and next xbox will hit the market in fall 2013

[otherZinc]

Bungies game is exclusive to 360 for its 1st iteration.

You guys conveniently forget that. So, there are 2 (Gears Judgment & Bungies Exclusive 360 Title for 2013) titles that will outsell all exclusives released for the PS3.

As Gears 3 for they year it released outsold every PS3 exclusive that year by itself.

So, this raises the question, How important is an exclusive if it doesnt sell? And, I'm not saying sales numbers after its been a pack-in at Holiday Seasons?

[punisher99]

"You guys conveniently forget that. So, there are 2 (Gears Judgment & Bungies Exclusive 360 Title for 2013) titles that will outsell all exclusives released for the PS3. "

Whether thats true or not. The real question should be, which exclusives will actually be better? Sales is a different story.

[th3n00bg4m3r]

Multi-platform games - Ground Theft Auto V, Watch Dogs, Bioshock: Infinite[i am unsure about Tomb Raider, Dead Space 3, Crysis 3, Prey 2, Battlefield 4 and Metro: Last Light.
Exclusive games - The Last Of Us, Beyond: Two Souls and God Of War Ascension.

[Smurf1]

Yeah looks like a pretty decent list. Overall solid amount of games to play next year.

[th3n00bg4m3r]

Do you know that if Metal Gear Solid: Ground Zeroes is releasing next year?

[capox]

Wii U --> where is Monster hunter 3 Ultimate? Pretty big exclusive if you ask me....

Also Bioshock Infinite is confirmed by the devs to release on the Wii U after launch of the other versions.

[-Mika-]

There is so much wrong in your post.

First, MH3U is not an WiiU exclusive. It is also coming out for the 3ds.

Second, bioshock infinite is not coming to the WiiU. Ken even said this himself. Here the link.

http://www.destructoid.com/...

[shempo]

trust me the majority doesnt care
player base will get it for ps3-xbox

[capox]

dd

[Hicken]

So, while people PROVE to you that you're wrong, your only response is "faghead?"

Real classy.

[DA_SHREDDER]

as soon as Monster Hunter and Dragon Quest X come out Im getting a wiiU just for those games.

[Kyosuke_Sanada]

Amnesia: Machine Of Pigs and Routine is going to lead into some interesting nights.......

[Muffins1223]

MY god...i think this is the saddest xbox exclusive line up of its lifetime

[shempo]

since when xbox had any exclusives except halo,forza and gears ?

most of their games are also on pc

[from the beach]

In my opinion it's an example of a poorly researched article - Crimson Dragon is probably my most anticipated game for next year, there's also Lococyle, Matter, Ascend, etc.

But whatever.

No iksloooosiffs.

[wishingW3L]

it could be worse. GeoW is an amazing franchise so Xbox fans can be sure that at least 1 exclusive worth owning an Xbox will be released next year.

[BLAKHOODe]

The list forgot to mention Xbox's exclusive Kinect line-up of about 150 games.

[SolDojo]

they forgot on purpose

[Bnet343]

Gears is enough, there are a lot of good multiplatforms because Xbox 720 is coming out Fall of next year, that's why it's only one. And Gears alone shits on everything.

[mushroomwig]

This picture completely fails, why does it list PC indie games as exclusives but only AAA titles for the consoles? Where are the PSN and XBL titles?

[I_am_Batman]

I'm glad someone mentioned it. Didn't get that either.

[CommonSense]

If the picture showed all the PC indie games, it would take a week to scroll through the page. They just mentioned the ones of notoriety.

[Norrison]

They didn't list all the indie exclusive games on PC, just like the 5%

[DomceM]

Cant wait for amnesia.

Also interested in Rome Total war 2, Arma 3, Path of exile (heard its better than diablo 3).

[Tetsujin]

Is that JoJo's Bizarre adventure under the PS3 exclusive list?

[BoNeSaW23]

I missed that.
I didn't know the new JoJo was coming to North America!? May have to check it out.

[modesign]

wii U looks dead in the water for 2013.

[quantae06]

You realize that a lot of games haven't been announced yet right!?

[wishingW3L]

and are they going to announce them when? 1 day before they get released?

[quantae06]

E3 2013... Monolith has been creating a new ip. Fatal Frame is in the works. Beyonetta is being worked on (personally not a fan of it due to my beliefs). Yoshi Island is rumored to be in works. We don't know for sure if these titles will release late 2013, but they could be. So, that's why I said the games haven't been announced for 2013. But they may release next year.

[torchic]

lol Yoshi mmmkay

[Zhipp]

Yes, things are looking pretty bleak right now, but there are a few unannounced 2013 tiles. I'm sure some of Nintendo's E3 games will be landing late 2013 as well.

[BLAKHOODe]

The same thing happened with the original Wii. Why would the Wii U be any different?

[CommonSense]

I really regret buying a Wii U

[quantae06]

PS3 is on beast mode!

[quantae06]

People can disagree with facts if they want too haha. We all know their will be some games on Wii U that haven't been announced yet. Facts>Opinions

[Yukicore]

WAIT, Is GTA V really not comming to PC, or it hasn't been announced yet?

[Xenomorph]

Actually not coming to PC, which is odd.

[HenryFord]

There is no such statement from Rockstar, the PC version _will_ come, I'm sure about that. It just will be (again) horribly late in comparision to the console.
(Also: If it's as bad as GTAIV was on PC, they can (should) leave the PC alone)

[animegamingnerd]

rockstar said they considering a PC and wii u version but want to finish the other version first before deciding

[Yukicore]

It would be very disappointing if it wouldn't, as GTA is one of those games which are actually the most PC friendly and fun on PC.

And the modding abilities on PC. It's just uncomparable to consoles, and the graphics will probably look outdated on consoles, like they always do on multi-platform games.

But I'm sure it's comming to PC :)

[metroidfusion2]

I'm sure this person is missing out on a lot of nintendo games and nintendo will dominate in sales next year

[Hanso]

what Mario and Zelda ?

[Taggart451]

As I already said when I was on reddit earlier, there are still mistakes with this list. Two that I saw immediately:

FUSE has not been announced for PC. A quick Google search will show you on the Insomniac Forums that, when asked about a PC version a webmaster/admin says in a thread "No PC Version. Thread closed."

Second, Starlight Inception in not a PC exclusive. It was Kickstarted as a PC/Vita title, but within that last few months (on the Escape Hatch Entertainment website) it was announced that a PS3 version of the title is also in the works.

Hooray for finding information online and repeating it without actually checking!

[BitbyDeath]

Pic is missing 'Until Dawn'

[ThePsychoGamer]

The list has a bit of a weird criteria, I mean games like Hyperdemsion Netunia V and The Which and the hundred Cavalrymen (both have been confirmed for a 2013 release) and yet games that sadly haven't been confirmed like Yakuza 5 are there.

[fresh2death93]

The 3 games that ps3 have makes up for any other exclusives thats coming out.

[Belking]

Only games I want is the Last of US, Gears, and the next xbox of course.

[Tales RPG addict]

Games I look forward to more than anything.
Ni No Kuni Wrath of the White Witch
Tales of Xillia
Beyond Two Souls
The Last of US
Atelier Ayesha
Puppeteer
Jojo's Bizarre Adventure All Star Battle
Sly Cooper Thieves in Time
God of War Ascension
and more

[wishingW3L]

PC Domination Continuation

http://www.gamechup.com/wp-...

[Qrphe]

Seriously, most exclusives this year and every year.

Yet you still get those saying that PC games don't have exclusives or games worth playing.

[th3n00bg4m3r]

But, none of them are worth playing, no triple A games.

[HenryFord]

Check your facts again - no AAA-Games? And even if that wasn't the case - who cares? A Game should make fun, there are a lot of indie-games I would take over AAA-titles any day.
PC is still leading the pack when it comes to...well...everything.

[I_am_Batman]

To be fair there are all those indie games listed for PC but no PSN or XBoxLive games. And you have to see that some games are exclusive to consoles in general and not to a specific console (like Metal Gear, Final Fantasy, Tekken x Street Fighter) and therefore not available on the PC. I'm not trying to say that PC doesn't have good exclusives but that the picture doesn't do the consoles justice.

[Qrphe]

@the noob

Yes, because good games have to be AAA and millions of wasted $ on marketing.

Oh look, TWD and Journey won several awards this year, so much for only AAAs being good.

You're wrong man.

[Treian]

Ni No Kuni!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Qrphe]

The Witch and The Hundred Knight
Dragon's Crown

Why do they always forget these two???

[ThatsGaming]

As usual, these are a bunch of vaporware.

I only believe them when there is a specific release date. Very few of these games have a specific release date yet. Especially the exclusives.

[josephayal]

The WII U Needs More Love

[WiigotU]

If you take the top 10 pc games for 2013 and pit them against the top 10 console gamesfor 2013 who wins?

I think we can officially end the pc vs console war.

Also instead of fanboys going hard at each other we should hope the industry stays healthy and that every console does well. I say this because I am very tired of the mobile gaming talk.

[Wintersun616]

So let me get this straight.

You're trying to end a "war" by waging the "war".

I agree with the latter part of your comment, but the first part is just stupid. Wouldn't it be better to let everyone play whatever they want and have their own way? Without telling them what they should be playing?

[HenryFord]

I think his point is:
"If you take the top 10 pc games for 2013 and pit them against the top 10 console gamesfor 2013 who wins?"

Noone. War ended.

[bunfighterii]

[r21]

Damn, the PC has alot of exclusives! And xbox exclusive is only Gear of War judgement? Also, no list for the ps vita and 3ds?

[Xenomorph]

3. Aliens: Colonial Marines
4. Amnesia: Machine For Pigs
5. Dead Space 3
6. Grand Theft Auto V
7. MGS: Revengence
8. Dead Island: Riptide

[bebojet]

Wow. PC has one hell of a list of exclusive games. Maybe when Valve releases their Steam Box I'll get to enjoy some of those games. For the mean time I have plenty of PS3 games to enjoy.

[ghostrider32]

just looking at the lineup for exclusives next year, it's safe to say at the next E3 Microsoft will get booed extremely hard.

[I_am_Batman]

That's why I was almost 100% sure that MS would reveal the next XBox at E3 2012. It isn't even announced yet and they're running out of games already. The strong 3rd party games lineup is probably going to save MS over 2013 but I really don't see a reason for them to wait any longer with their next console.

[NoFanboyRequired]

Doubt it. Theres most likely games we dont even know about. Also, they'll most likely announce the NextBox, which will dominate the whole E3 if its the only new hardware being revealed.

[black911]

Most excited for Beyond Two Souls!!!!!

[cliffyboy21]

just give me the last of us, beyond 2 souls and tomb raider and im good for the rest of the year.. GTA V i might pick that up

[justlikeme]

I hope The Last Guardian and Final Fantasy vs13 releases in 2013 too....

[MuhammadJA]

Poor Gears of War. All alone.

[Stoppokingme]

Has anyone else noticed that only 15 games on that list will be released on Wii-U?

That's alarming, especially if you just bought a Wii-U.

[Stoppokingme]

Has anyone else noticed that only 15 games on that list are coming to Wii-U?

[TheMrMadzen]

God dammit why is Rayman Legends only for Wii-U......WHY!?
