Top 10 Most Anticipated PS3 Games of 2008

Last week, Fronz and Grim gave you lists of the top ten Xbox 360 games that they were each excited the most about this year. Well Destructoid never like to promote a particular console, lest be accused of bias/fanboyism - so they have come up with their own top ten lists for the PlayStation 3 in 2008.

[Breakfast]

lol...Madden

[Relcom]

a cookie cutter list. some odd choices

[pharmd]

yeah, exactly.... madden higher than R2... thats garbage

[sonarus]

lol spyro???

[jwatt]

Metal gear is going to be one of the biggest games this year.

[MikeGdaGod]

10) Street Fighter
9) Wipeout HD
8) LBP
7) Star Wars: FU
6) The Agency
5) Infamous
4) SOCOM
3) Motorstorm 2
2) Resistance 2
1) MGS4

EDIT: Spyro the Dragon!?!?!?!?! are you f*cking kidding me!?!?!?!?!

[Asurastrike]

Spyro? Maybe when the games were still being developed by Insomniac.

[Cwalat]

star wars and legend of spyro come before MGS4 ???????????

these are some mentally ill ppl that i can swear..

here is my list:

10. Bionic Commando + Rearmed
9. Wipeout HD
8. Siren 12 pack episodic content
7. Motorstorm 2
6. Socom
5. The Agency
4. Mirrors Edge
3. Littlebigplanet
2. MGS4
1. Resistance 2

[alexM]

Not unusual since if you have nothing on your console then it better to bash some other console which has great games for 2008 spearheaded by MGS4

[Cwalat]

sadly.. i think that's the truth...
what other explanation is there ?

one multiplat and one unannounced game before MGS4 (the PS3 game of the year)

[sonarus]

Another explanation could be destructoid is useless. The 360 list was just as crappy

[pwnmaster3000]

ths list sux badly is like they were like fuk it lets just add stuff thats in the top of our heads
here is a better list
10. wipe out
9. socom
8. infamous
7. little big planet
6. yakuza ( america and europe imean )
5. valkaries
4. the agency
3. white knight
2. resistance 2
1. metal gear solid

i want to add more but it only said 10 so yeah.

[Relcom]

Much less 3

[callahan09]

They don't even bother to put PS3 exclusives on the list? The first of the two lists contianed 7 non-exclusive games. And Spyro was above Metal Gear Solid 4? WHAT!?

This is a quote from that website:

"I’ve never played through a single one of the prior games in Hideo Kojima’s magnum opus of a series. But I’m anticipating MGS 4 (supposedly the last Metal Gear game) just as much as anybody else"

No. No, you're not. Give up on being a video game blogger, because: 1) You have never played through a Metal Gear Solid game, and 2) You have the gall to claim that you're anticipating it as much as me, and millions of other diehard fans, who have a vested interest in this story and long-time love for the gameplay? No, sir, you do not and cannot anticipate MGS4 as much. You don't know the depths that this storied franchise reaches with its plot and themes, and you cannot even fathom the kind of anticipation boiling over in the hearts and minds of the true fans.

Oh, and amongst the weirdest choices like Spyro and Madden, he has a bunch of great choices - but they're multiplatform releases. Why make a list specific to the PS3 at all if most of the games on the list are available on other platforms? A proper list that's actually worth reading would just come out with it and be a list of most anticipated exclusives. And on that list I would be sure to put Disgaea 3, Valkyria Chronicle, Socom Confrontation (the other guy did put this one), WipeOut HD, Motorstorm 2, et al

[joydestroy]

Motorstorm 2 and Socom should have definitely been on that list, hands down.

[TheEndzor]

People have odd choices in games

i lol'd at spyro

At least there is lots of variety in that list

[joydestroy]

wait, wait...the Star Wars game comes out the same month Socom Confrontation comes out? bad idea. i bet one of 'em is gonna get pushed back.

[callahan09]

The two games are nothing at all alike and have nothing to do with each other.

[joydestroy]

doesn't matter man. if i only have 60 bucks or however much, i'm gonna pick up one game and pass on the other until i get some more dough or have played through the one i just purchased.

[callahan09]

I agree. But that doesn't have any bearing on whether one game will be delayed from its release date. Haze is still coming out soon despite a terrible launch window between GTA IV and MGS4.

[crimsonfox]

for me i cant wait every thing else TO ME is a bonus

[Breakfast]

lol...you're gonna get a lot of bonuses...you must have done something good :)

[crimsonfox]

there just so thankful i guess im crapping my pants for any Warhawk add on too

[Breakfast]

"hahaha yeah i love helping old ladies"

LOL...good answer...helping them cross the street are we?

Bubble for being helarious

[crimsonfox]

put me on their ignore list and i dont know why...imma bubble you up because i like breakfast at IHOP with the stuffed french toast strawberry style yum thank you for being there

[poopsack]

I hate you, I live in Puerto Rico and Im thousands of miles away from an ihop.

[jinn]

MGS4 and Resistance 2

[juuken]

MGS4, Resistance 2, FFXIII, and Little Big Planet.

THERE. :3

And for Pete's sake Team Ninja, another Ninja Gaiden will ya?

[crimsonfox]

Killzone is next year bub^_^...actually-_-...sorry

[juuken]

I knooooooow. ^^'

[crimsonfox]

well then i dont understand your comment ^_^

[juuken]

Okay, here goes.

I meant to say that I'm anticipating those games. I forgot Killzone 2 was next year unfortunately. -.-

That list is kinda odd though.

[crimsonfox]

that list is janky cuz haha

[juuken]

Tee-hee.

[crimsonfox]

nice chat imma go listen to PanterA

[juuken]

K'. :D

[joydestroy]

both of those lists fail.

[Skynetone]

Cant wait for Resistance 2 and motor storm 2

mgs and st fighter hd are a must aswell

[Ali_The_Brit]

top exlusives-

Resistance 2
MGS4
LBP

[ActionBastard]

Gotta love Destructoid. Call that place Corkytoid because anyone who thinks that is a good list is a retard.

[avacadosnorkel]

that actually includes Spyro...

I hope they didn't forget to wipe up, flush, and wash their hands before they wrote those lists.

[Ri0tSquad]

Could of been better.

[PoSTedUP]

socom? mgs4, resistance2, haze, silent hill, motorstorm 2

[Mozilla89]

Come on guys you know Spyro is gonna rock! Who wants to help repel an alien invasion when you could go on an adventure as a magical purple dragon?

[Jinxstar]

I am really stoked about Street Fighter. I wonder if it will be a DL game or a disc game. I heard DL but don't know...

[Defectiv3_Detectiv3]

Siren: Blood Curse
Tekken 6
White Knight Story
Motorstorm 2
Infamous(not sure if it will come out this year)
The Agency
Socom Confrontation
Little Big Planet
Resistance 2
MGS4

[bootsielon]

MGS4, GTAIV, Little Big Planet, Resistance 2, Haze, Motorstorm, GT5:P, Valkyrie of the Battlefield, White Knight Chronicles, Yakuza 3, SOCOM: Confrontation, Infamous, Singstar Vol 1 & 2, Last Remnants, the Agency, Soul Calibur 4, Street Fighter 4, Tekken 6 and Eight Days.

My 2009 PS3 list:

FFXIII, FF Versus XIII, God of War 3, Killzone 2, War Devil, the Getaway 3, Afrika, Gran Turismo 5, Heavy Rain, L.A. Noire, Uncharted 2, Eyedentify, Resident Evil 5, Silent Hill 5 and, if it's a reality, Heavenly Sword 2

I still wanna know what the team "Cellius" and SOTC's Fumito Ueda have been up to. Hopefully, and if announced, Kingdom Hearts 3 won't end up being a Wii exclusive title, otherwise the franchise will be ruined. Also, there's another Rockstar project that seems to be exclusive to PS3. I also hope there's a sequel to Bully, and that Resistance 3 won't take long to make.

As for other multiplatform titles, perhaps I'll check Bioshock 2, Mass Effect 2, Lost Planet 2, Dead Rising 2, Fallout 3, Prototype and Dead Space. Maybe I'll give Ninja Gaiden 2, Fable 2, Halo Wars and Banjo Kazooie a few shots, not if I have time because PS3 will have more than enough games, but only if my PS3 RRODs. Oh wait.

[Defectiv3_Detectiv3]

Eight Days wont come out for at least another year

Yakuza is not an american release

Infamous was delayed til next year

We all know Haze is junk

And one last thing - you really play singstar and your not a chick?

[supremacy]

just makes the ps3 look like it has no exclusives, i mean when i hear most anticipate PS3 titles im thinking ps3 exclusives and not so much multi-platform games, there is a big difference in my view when i hear something like this i think exclusives not multi-platform games.

for that just simply say the top ten most anticipate games of 08 instead and add some wii and 360 exclusives to that list as well. i just hate it when i see these kinds of stupid lists floating around. seriously i feel like anyone here can come up with a better list, madden 09? mirrar's edge? WTF? lol..

look when i hear something like the top ten most anticipate ps3 games i think of well... these games. by order and release of course. note my list isn't exactly accurate, so please bare with me as i too am basing this list on popularity and how much that certain game is wanted as long as it is within the 08 hemisphere that is. enjoy.

1. MGS4
2. Resistance 2
3. Littlebigplanet
4. Socom: confrontation
5. Tekken 6
6. Motorstorm 2
8. White knight story
9. HAZE
10.Wipeout HD.

now notice how i didn't list certain games that probably should have been in the list, like infamous, 8days, the agency and few others?

well its simple while a game like infamous deserves more attention than some of these titles listed on the list, its is also worth noting that the release for this game or the rest of these games aren't yet set in stone and who knows when would sony give these games the green light for a firm release date, i mean take the killzone 2 delay for example, marketing reasons and such had a lot to do with it.

well but this list above is the most realistic one i can currently come up with, other than that the list would have been a lot different than the one above.

for example. an alternative list to the one above would be something like this.... below.

(original list) (alternative list)
1. MGS4 1.MGS4
2. Resistance 2 2.Resistance 2
3. Littlebigplanet 3.Littlebigplanet
4. Socom: confrontation 4.Socom: confrontation
5. Tekken 6 5.8 Days
7. Valkrya 6.Infamous
6. Motorstorm 2 7.White knight story
8. White knight story 8.Valkrya
9. HAZE 9.Tekken 6
10.Wipeout HD. 10.Motorstorm 2

now these list's here make more sense than say what i just read on that site, now if your just going to throw a bunch of multi-platform games so than you can start hearing a bunch of xbox gamers saying man...those are the same games we are getting this year. name the list the top ten most anticipated games of 08, not the top ten ps3 games of 08. doesn't make any sense and it doesn't help suede anyone into actually buying a ps3.

i don't expect to change any minds here, but i do hope that at least a portion of you here agree with what im trying to say here.

heck if i were to come up with a 360 list it ill look something like this..

1. Gears of wars 2
2. Ninja gaiden 2
3. Halo wars
4. Fable 2
5. Too human
6. Tales of Vesperia
7. Banjo-Kazooie 3
8. Left 4 Dead
9. Splinter cell conviction
10. Dead or Alive 5
you all know one its coming so..its no surprise here i mean, i don't see a fighting game taking more than a few months to craft considering the platform and blue prints are all already set in stone.

however there might be a few more i might have missed if so please let me know, but either way you all get my drift with the whole top ten list babel. simple don't specify a console with multi-platforms instead do so with their built exclusives which not only its a exclusive to that certain platform but also showcase that platforms abilities.

but again what do i know, im just another blogger on this site....

[Dacapn]

Maybe it's just me, but that Mirror's Edge footage looked really impressive. I still don't have a clue what the game is about, but it was definitely a breath of fresh air. I've never seen a game like that before.

[PS360PCROCKS]

Lmao if those are the PS3's most "anticipated titles" I'm selling my PS3!! Their is what like FIVE PS3 only games on that list?! lol what a bunch of idiots, madden, lol madden, yeah ok.

[Dark General]

Interesting lists. I have to say i like the 2nd dudes list quite a bit. Take out Ghostbusters, Alone in the Dark, Star wars and Bionic Commando and put in Fallout 3, LBP and Soul Calibur 4 and you pretty much have my top 10 for this year.

[Tyrael]

Would have mentioned final fantasy but we know thats not out until at least early 09

[MK_Red]

MK vs DC in Gameboi’s Top 10!?
In a normal situation I would have been extremely happy with any MK game in a top 10 list but MK vs DC is a disgrace to both worlds.

Still both Top 10s are pretty good. Except the second one should have had Fallout 3 and LBP included IMO.

Overall, pretty good lists.

[hay]

I sure hope that FF13 will be released in 2008.

[SL1M DADDY]

'Cause that list is not representative of my most anticipated games. The title should read, "Destructoids most anticipated games list". I for one would have added a few better titles and taken off a couple crap ones... Spyro? Madden? Come on.

[Hercules]

dont need a lis tot tell us what to buy...we already know what to get..since we already have GTAIV, that leaves us for Haze, MGS4, and Resistance 2..most gamers get like 3 games in a 8-month span...and there is no point in getting a WHOLE bunch of games because you will want to focus on one game..at least thats what i am doing with GTA until MGS4..

[mil-leon]

until MGS4, Infamous, Resistance2, LBP.... WAAAAAAHHHH!!

Mil-Leon!

[PSWarlord]

Heres my list for the games of anticipatend of 2008!!!
