From VideoGamer.com: "According to the latest Sony Computer Entertainment UK release schedule PlayStation 3 gamers will have plenty to keep them occupied this autumn, with three massive titles hitting stores.

Scheduled for release in September are LittleBigPlanet and Killzone 2, with Insomniac Games' launch title sequel, Resistance 2, pencilled in for a November release."

"The titles are likely to go up against some heavy hitters from Microsoft, including Gears of War 2, Fable 2 and Banjo."

Wow OMG Banjo!!!!
we're dooooomed!!

hahahahah

MURKERR6306d ago (Edited 6306d ago )

like a phoenix ps3

sonarus6306d ago

hahaha was going to say the same thing about banjo but i kinda like banjo. I might actually get it if it is good. But banjo isn't a heavy hitter though.
Anyways like i said before R2 VS Gears 2 not KZ2 VS Gears 2. Resistance has another chance 2 redeem itself against Microsoft's juggernaut that is Gears. I am not so huge on shooters but i enjoyed gears a lot more than i enjoyed resistance 1. But i am rooting for R2 this time cus i overplayed gears way too much and i honestly can't play it again if i was paid lol.

If you listened to the game trailers GDC interview where they were talking about gears running on blu ray the PR guy actually already tagged resistance for a november release.

TheHater6306d ago

I was about to say the same thing about Banjo. LOl...But I already preorder all Resistance, Killzone, and LBP. I also preorder Fable and Gears Of War. I really don't think Banjo influence people to go out and buy a 360.

SIX6306d ago

Lets see what you got. I'm really jacked for this game.

The Killer6306d ago (Edited 6306d ago )

last year 360 had their storm which was

bioshock august (flop in sales and great game)
halo 3 september (success)
mass effect november (flop in sale and good game)

now for ps3 after 1 year of launch

GTp march-april (success with out a question, more than a million pre-order)
GTA4 april (success and will have more impact on ps3 than 360)
MGS4 june (success)
Haze (not known if it will be a success but a great title)

thats only the first wave
lets see the second wave

killzone 2 september (success)
littlebigplanet september (great game unknown success yet, its new IP)
resistance 2 november (success)
motorstorm 2 (success)

lets see 360 counter attack for this year

GTA4 april (success)
fable 2 summer (success but not a millions seller)
ninja gayden 2 summer (success)
gears of war 2 november (success)

so we have 8:4 into sony favor of great exclusives with the exception of GTA4.

yes i know some people will say 360 will have too human or alane wake but still we dont know when they release or enough info yet, also ps3 have more great games like "white night story" and "socom" and other games probably on the way but still we r not sure and dont have enough info!

sony will own this year by the number of great exclusives!! 360 had their chance last year and they lost it!! from now on ps3 only is getting better, i can say that to 360 also but 360 wont have the advantage that it had in 2007 with high price ps3 and lack of DEV's tools and crappy ports and rocky online gaming(PSN) unknown if blue ray will win or not bad image of ps3 and sony PR's the list goes on and yet that year ps3 sold more than 360.

i cant say more!

sonarus6306d ago

how was bioshock a flop? How much did it sell. I expected mass effect to do a lot better but games without mp seem to not do so well these days

ravinash6306d ago

KZ2 has been a long time coming, I really hope its all been worth it.

xhairs6306d ago

I like how their chance was....all halo.

Halo 3 was only a sales success, people complained of the single player to date that it was crap and focused solely for online play only. Not to mention GoW...can anyone say...Halo Junior? Crap they're even coming out with a 2nd one...can't wait to see another Gears of War fanatics show on MTV like last time...*yawn*

Anyways i support everything else you say -- but GTA 4 shouldn't be considered line-up on either side since it's multiplat now.

Silellak6306d ago

Mass Effect was not a flop in sales. It sold over a million copies.

Do you ever stop being wrong?

Glad to be a gamer6306d ago (Edited 6306d ago )

Shame on you tut tut tut.

Bioshock has sold 2mil+ Masseffect has sold 1.8mill+ Fable sold 3mill+
which is the same amount mgs3 sold the last time i checked.

This makes them a success not only with the reviewers(97,91,85) but with the general gaming public.

As for Banjo and kazzooie(92) to this day is one of the best adventure game ive ever played.The first bk had everything.

Kameo a new rare ip was beautiful,innovative,great story and gameplay) atlhough bit short. I think with Rares stable of quality you would be mad to think that this wont sell well. Especially since the price drop making it more accessible to the younger genration.

whoelse6306d ago

Wow, this is good news! I was worried that it wouldnt come in September and it had been delayed till 2009!

Glad to be a gamer6306d ago

I know mgs 4 will most probably make me cave and get a ps3 but if not lbp will definately this games looks amazing.

Hope it does live up to the hype.

The Killer6306d ago (Edited 6306d ago )

but thats the truth, i even tried to make 360 image better than it is, with RROD is only increasing(because of the old models which didnt die last year are dieing this year and also the new models have around 15% RROD)!! ps3 is having home in this summer etc.

halo 3 i called it a success because it had huge sales and a lot of good reviews, i played it for 10 mins and the graphics wasnt that great at all, i didnt go through the story but i heard thats its short and can display less than 720P.

bioshock i called is a flop in sales because it was so great game and all reviews gave it high scores but didnt realize it potential in sale because it was on 360 and pc only, if they made it first 360 and ps3 then pc they would have made more money.

again guys thats just my opinion.
also if a game sells 1 million on 2 million console out there and another game sells 2 million from 10 million console, i call the first game is a more success!!!

Jeebs6306d ago

Sonarus: So true. Non-MP games seem to get a lot of slack these days. I however purchased Uncharted maybe 2 weeks ago and was blown away at how great the game was, and now I'm playing through Heavenly Sword and am lovin' every moment of it.

le killer6306d ago

and the 360 is a shooter console??? two of sonys biggest games are shooters..lol it's amazing how things change is'nt! anyway, i'm looking forward to resistance2, 60 player battles is what i want! does anyone know the player count for kz2?

Gamingskills6306d ago

What a Fanboy statement! How can you label games a success thats not even out yet. In all honesty there haven't been many PS3 exclusives that we can label a success. Hopefully that will change in 08 my PS3 is collecting dust. I always buy multiplatform games for 360. Cant wait till MGS4 comes out in June tho that will be a definite buy hopefully that will sell real well so developers will see that PS3 owners do buy games and not just movies.

cmrbe6306d ago

Correction. PS3 now has potential great FPS franchise in the league of other mega PS franchise like GT,FF,MGS ie the PS will be a more complete gaming system for every type of gamers.

lawman11086306d ago

and #2 lets see if PS3 owners even buy them. That seems to be a huge problem with that blue ray player.....nobody wants to buy GAMES

nitramn4g6306d ago

Where one of the greatest platformer games of all time. I even preferred them to Mario64 which was also great. I would not count Banjo out so fast.

LastDance6305d ago

I wouldnt count out banjo either ....if it were on the Wii...but its on xbox.. good luck.

aiphanes6306d ago (Edited 6306d ago )

This will be great...and its a bit spread out....September for Killzone 2 and LBP and November for R2!!!

Gears of War 2 will probably be out in november also...but how can it stand up to a 60 play 8 way online co-op with multi campain Resistance 2? Only time will tell..and if Final Fantasy 13 comes out in december.....

All microsoft got is Gears of War 2...I wish them luck...

PlayStation3606306d ago (Edited 6306d ago )

Fable 2 seems dope as hell. However, I don't know about Banjo :/

Edit Below: I thought we were talking about exclusives.

Shankle6306d ago

Fallout 3 will kick Fable 2's arse.

chaosatom3336306d ago (Edited 6306d ago )

I think Sony was waiting for the right moment before unleashing.

Relcom6306d ago

I knew Resistance and LBP would come this year, Knowing Killzone is coming for sure this year makes me so happy

sak5006306d ago

What happend to PS3's summer blockbuster lineup?

leon766306d ago

The real question is what happened to x360 summer lineup, or what happened to 2008 x360 lineup????????

bumnut6306d ago

everyone seems to have gone quiet after you said that

butterfinger6306d ago

I have seen a November release date for Resistance 2 (11/4) and September for Killzone 2 and littleBigPlanet (9/1,9/2) on Gamestop's website since January. Maybe you didn't stop to think that Summer blockbuster wasn't just simply referring to these 3 games. Please take your flame bait to the open zone now.

SKullDugger6306d ago

I think you are in the wrong zone, MGS4 is a summer title and its a big one.

Drekken6306d ago

I think MSG4 and Socom are enough for my summer

HighDefinition6306d ago

is all anyone will need for the summer.

sonarus6306d ago (Edited 6306d ago )

lol 4get SOCOM. MGS4 owns june, Socom is the july toy, Hopefully something falls in august, then we have september goodies although i am sure 1 of the two will slip to october. effectively spacing out a fantastic line up.

@celly i was watching some footage of tekken 6 running on the arcade hardware and it looked fantastic. The animations have never been better. I am heavily siked for this game but it will probably be a late release. Bandai Namco seem to be focusing more on Soul Calibur right now

cellypower6306d ago

You still have tekken 6 and Valkyria Chronicles unannounced dates yet.

TheHater6306d ago

Socom, and MGS4 are coming out in the Summer. I don't think you need anything else on the ps3.

mikeslemonade6306d ago

There are other games coming like Wipeout HD.

jwatt6306d ago

When is the agency coming out, I'm really excited for that game.

kylo126305d ago

Socom is being released in September, which would make it a Fall release.

Video Game Franchises in Danger of Being Forgotten

The gaming industry moves at such a pace that it’s not surprising we’ve seen countless franchises fall into obscurity over the years.

S2Killinit234d ago

Im surprised that a game with a heritage of Medal of Honor is in this list.

cthulhucultist234d ago

There is a rumour that Driver 1 & 2 remasters will be released for Switch and presumably for other systems as well.

https://www.gamingbible.com...

Not sure however whether this results into new games in the near future.

HellspawnPR1981234d ago

Ninja Gaiden? Splinter Cell? Tenchu? Virtua Fighter? Killer Instinct? Killzone?

DefenderOfDoom2234d ago

I would very much enjoy
a new dedicated single player Killzone campaign. With a fun multi-player.

cthulhucultist234d ago

Tenchu and Killer Instict would be great indeed!

Unfortunately new Killzone game does not seem to be in the works

Virtua Fighter is going to receive a new entry!

https://www.dualshockers.co...

Splinter Cell is likely to be one of the remasters launching next year (not sure whether this has to do anything with the remake previously announced)

https://toronto.ubisoft.com...

HellspawnPR1981233d ago

Yeah, read the news about a new Virtua Fighter and I am so ready for it. Splinter Cell at this point I don't believe anything Ubisoft says plus I don't think modern day Ubisoft can make a decent stealth game. They will likely fuck it up.

Inverno234d ago

Basically everything at this point as companies have no concern with preservation.

Why Guerrilla Games Shouldn't Abandon the Killzone Series

Hugely disappointingly, it seems that Guerrilla Games, developers of the Killzone and Horizon series, may be done with Killzone for good.

IAMRealHooman251d ago

1 was fine, overhyped as a " halo" killer
2 was a graphical beast at the time, and felt heavy
3 was good a refinement of 2 but not much else. weird audio issues environment were to quiet
shadow fall was pretty but bland

OtterX251d ago (Edited 251d ago )

Shadowfall had great Multiplayer though. Too bad the campaign was meh at best. It did have the occasional great moment sprinkled in.

TheNamelessOne251d ago (Edited 251d ago )

I played through 2/3 multiple times. I played through the original once, but it felt pretty lukewarm for me. I couldn't be bothered to beat Shadow Fall. I got a couple hours in and just went "I'm done". Never touched it again. It was awesome on the tech side, being a launch title, but it didn't even match up to the first game when it came to actually having fun playing it.

Rude-ro251d ago

3 in 3d was an amazing experience to be had.
Although not many experienced it as intended for good reasons.

just_looken250d ago

You forgot the ai advancements on the playstation 2 killzone one you could have a full team of bots doing everything even playing the objective that was a big thing.

In killzone 2 they always flanked you and when available used the high ground.

Playing killzone 2 no hud 5.1 audio was/is awesome

MDTunkown251d ago

They should finish Horizon story first

darthv72251d ago

I dont mind if someone else takes up the mantle for the KZ franchise. We are several years removed from the first game. It certainly could use a remake to gauge interest in the rest of the series. I know it has its fans... Im thinking of how a proper reboot can rekindle that old dormant flame and bring in a new generation of fans in the process.

just_looken250d ago

You forgot killzone mercenaries on the ps vita but it was the worst selling sony game for awhile there.

Yui_Suzumiya250d ago

Yeah, a remake would be pretty awesome

anast251d ago

They should let it go or sell it. No use spending millions on this project.

LucasRuinedChildhood251d ago

Would like a new IP before Horizon 3. Just because games take so long to make these days.

Microsoft once tried to nab LittleBigPlanet from Sony after a few drinks

It turns out that many moons ago, Microsoft once had its eye on the Sony published LittleBigPlanet series.

XiNatsuDragnel418d ago

Microsoft had a good idea but fumbled it again.

Cacabunga416d ago (Edited 416d ago )

Project Spark idea was decent but they quickly gave up ..
LBP was wonderful

ApocalypseShadow417d ago

Microsoft in a nutshell. Always tried to poach Sony employees, games, 3rd party games and devices like the depth camera that was turned into Kinect but was running on PS2 before Xbox 360. Wouldn't be surprised they wanted LBP. Just like they worked behind the scenes pushing the MLB to bring Sony's baseball game to Xbox instead of making their own.
https://www.playstationlife...

They didn't spend years trying to develop their own baseball game. They wanted Sony's game.

They're scum.

Zachmo182416d ago

Microsoft didn't force MLB on Xbox. MLB gave Sony 2 options either go multiplat or risk losing the license.

Rynxie416d ago

And why do you think MLB said that? I believe Ms approached MLB.

ApocalypseShadow416d ago (Edited 416d ago )

Totally ridiculous comment.

The only exclusivity Sony had was to their own creation of The Show. Microsoft could have paid the MLB for the license just like Sony did and made their own baseball game.

Microsoft instead, groomed MLB for years in trying to poach Sony's game and bring it to Xbox. They're worth 3 TRILLION dollars. You think that's not enough money to make their own baseball game? Don't be delusional.

Microsoft spun it like they always do and told the media that they had to trust Sony with their hardware. After they put Sony in that position of not having a choice. Either go multiplatform or stop making one of their successful games. That's a no win scenario.

And what did Microsoft do? They didn't try to sell the game to the Xbox community. They put it on game pass to hurt Sony. Pushing the idea of why buy games that are $70 when you can play them in their cheap service for $10. It was a dirty tactic.

You fell for the Kool aid drink Microsoft served you instead of spitting it out. Hope it tasted good because you were fooled by Phil and the gang.

Hereandthere416d ago

Xbox executive Sara Bond has told Axios that Microsoft spent a number of years trying to get MLB The Show onto Xbox consoles. And when it finally succeeded in breaking off PlayStation’s long-held exclusivity, the company had to “trust” Sony with pre-release Xbox Series X/S consoles.

Bond revealed that MLB The Show “always came up” in conversations between Microsoft and the Major League Baseball organization. “We always said, ‘We love this game. It would be a huge opportunity to bring it to Xbox.'” she recalled. However, when Microsoft’s efforts materialized, it put the company in an awkward situation where it had to send in pre-release consoles to a rival company.

ApocalypseShadow415d ago

Lying to yourself is unbecoming.

Article link tells you all you need to know in Sarah Bond's own words.

Hereandthere416d ago

They were too cheap/inept/lazy to develop their own mlb game, so they port begged for years and bribed the mlb to make the show multiplatform. Like i said many times, xbox brought nothing to the table their 24 years, ZERO.

ApocalypseShadow415d ago

At least you and others get it. Note drank the Kool aid and asked for seconds thinking it was refreshing.

Most don't even know how it all played out but it's there in black and white for all to see. Microsoft brought it up for years until the MLB forced Sony's hand. It was a win win for Microsoft. Kill one reason to buy a PlayStation or kill the game by dropping it in a cheap service to kill Sony's sales numbers on PlayStation.

OtterX417d ago

"However, Healey said Media Molecule wouldn't have felt right doing that, adding it would have been "morally corrupt"."

Major kudos to Media Molecule for being an upright studio with principles.

Cockney415d ago

They chose well, Sony gave them the backing to pursue their dreams with no restrictions even tho their games especially dreams have very niche appeal. Media molecule and Sony deserve respect for this in an age of risk averse publishing.

RNTody417d ago (Edited 417d ago )

Great, more stories like this please. Show the last of the zombies holding the line what we've been saying for years: Microsoft is anti competition, anti industry and has no interest in making games at all.

But hey, at least there's an Xbox Games Showcase to look forward to, right?

Inverno416d ago

Well considering SONY just killed the series, LBP would've been dead by now either way. Though MM probably wouldn't exist by now either, so I'm glad they stayed with SONY, hopefully they don't get shut down any time soon or ever honestly.

Sheppard7t3416d ago

How did Sony kill the series?

Inverno416d ago

They shut down the servers, that's millions of user created levels gone. That and dead are pretty much the same, it's also been years since 3 and they cancelled HUB soooo.

416d ago
fsfsxii416d ago

They shutdown the servers because no one was playing, no one in the community cared about the user created levels so why keep them up? Wtf you guys would never succeed in running a business.

Inverno416d ago

Yea dood no one was playing so they shut off the servers. Cause people with enough common sense can't just Google why they were actually shut of, right?
