Final PS3 13 launch games list for America

Sony's PlayStation 3 is set to arrive this week on November 17th. With just 400,000 units available at launch in the USA, and an unknown number of game consoles arriving the rest of year. The total is expected to be below 1 million units in 2006, as a result many publishers have decided to delay their games so more time can be spent polishing them.

From minor delays like Need for Speed: Carbon being delayed until November 20. To big launch lineup losses like MotorStorm which was delayed to March, 2007. The PS3 launch will now have 13 titles including Resistance: Fall of Man and Ridge Racer 7.

[gearhead]

A whole 13 titles, and Call of Duty 3, Tony hawks pro Skater 8, and Ridge Racer 6(compared to RR7), are all better looking and run smoother on the 360. You would have to be a fool to buy a PS3.

PS3 got PWNED!!! and will continue to get PWNED!!!

"While on the PLAYSTATION®3 forum, please keep all content related to the PS3, its games and accessories.

Comparison threads about other console's and their games vs PS3's isn't allowed."

I wander why Sony deleted all of the comments and refuses to let people compare their console with others, could it really be inferior and they know it?

[gearhead]

That is why the Ps3 gpu specs are still a mystery, because they know as soon as they release they will be picked apart and the truth will be revealed. The Ps3 operating system takes up over 100mb (os and browser) of the ram at any given time, even during games, this means there is not 512mb of ram for the ps3 to utilize for games, it is actually less than 400mb. The gpu is also weaker, it can't do AA and HDR at the same time, which goes with what me and theMart have been saying for the longest, it is an off the shelf gpu, aka nvidia 7600. 1st gen vs. 1st gen the 360 wins and by the looks of it, it will win the 2nd gen as well. i still can't believe Ridge Racer 6 looks better than Ridge Racer 7, LOL.

[Shadow]

Actually, its NOT an off-the-shelf part. Its substantially bigger than the equivelant PC design (noted when we got images of the PS3 main board). Its also believed that due to its size, its more akin to a G71, so its actually closer to (and possibly superior to) an Nvidia 7900 GTX.

The other thing, is that RSX can have bits of rendering done in the CELL, which creates for a much more dynamic use of system resources.

It should also be noted that the Xenos GPU is already obsolete (and EXTREMELY so) now that Nvidia has revealed the G80 (8800 GTX) cards with unified shaders and utterly insane performance characteristics. (Faster than most ATI cards in Crossfire!)

[marionz]

the xbox is a superior console, sony can claim to be the best all they like but at the end of the day they dont want the full specs revealed...go waste your money sony fans, bet you all get a xbox in the next year or so because you get sick of the lack of quality and games sony provides

[gearhead]

How many titles get delayed on the delaystation 3? i have F.E.A.R for the 360 already and Oblivion as well, why is FNR3 delayed? LOL

man the PS3 must be hell to get any performance out of by the looks of it, it takes them an extra year and a half to add more sweat.

[joemutt]

But I remember when the 360 launched, all I got was COD2, and PGR3. And I was totally blown away.

For first time next-genners, they could get COD3 and RR7. And would have the same experience I did, and be totally blown away.

You have to remember, they are just coming fresh off a PS2, so anything they play will be great to them. I kinda envy that.

[Sphinx]

The Xbox360 has given me next-gen play for almost a year now... I couldn't imagine only having a few games to choose from right now. Way too many good games are out right now on the 360, and more are coming very soon! It would also suck to be playing a bunch of games that anyone with access to a 360 has played, beaten, and moved on in already.

[Dick Jones]

like Japan. Reports are almost no software sold.

[BIadestarX]

Yep, you are 100% right. Most people are buying the PS3 to re-sell it. That's why the attach rate on the games are so low in Japan. The same will hapen with the US. It's Sony's fault for launching the system with such low number of consoles. They should have delayed until they get their act straight.

[Shadow]

The attach rate will skyrocket as those PS3's go from the resellers to the buyers, and the buyers buy games for the console they just bought. Its only a temporary thing. In-fact, the same thing happened with the PS2 at launch.

[malachi23]

That HAS TO BE the weakest launch games i've ever seen on any console on day 1...that's really really bad.

[calderra]

RR5- One of the biggest titles in PS2's early years.
RR7- One of the most highly anticipated games for PS3.

Compared to:
RR6- One of the worst games available for 360.

Still wondering how that happened.

[gearhead]

The people that play playstation games don't know what a good game is obviously. becaused riiiidddddgggeee rrrraaaccceeeerrr sucks, i don't have it for the 360 and I have 17 games for it, I don't even have TDU.

[TheMART]

Strange, isn't it?

Ridge Racer 6 on the 360 looks better then Ridge Racer 7 on the PS3...

It has been released a year ago on 360 and the PS3 does worse now? And it's highly anticipated?

That must ring a bell. A big alarmbell even with you man. Something is terrible wrong with Playstation diehard fans. They would even buy it when it displayed N64 graphics. Oh wait it actually seems to do that...

[PS360WII]

Bored that nothing is happening in the 360 forum. Least #2 had a good post. Just think back with the 360 launched I know I remember. This is a decent launch of games and for people who don't even think of MS as a gaming console they will be rather impressed with the ps3 offerings

[CyberSentinel]

I only see, count them, (2)third party developers willing to release titles on launch day. You call that decent? Where would sony be without Activision and EA.

[Ark1205]

You guys kill me arguing about whos the best. Even if they only released 5 games it would be should be enough to hold you down till the end of the year. I have a 360 and I dnt like their selection of games but the system itself is nice. 360-PS3, both systems will be great its just going to depend on if your a sony fan or a xbox fan.

[TheMART]

Let's get through the launch list...

PS3 launch list (13):
* Call of Duty 3 - on 360 also and running 60 pfs instead of 30fps on PS3.
* Genji 2: Days of the Blade - sucks
* Madden NFL 2007 - on 360 also
* Marvel Ultimate Alliance - on 360 also
* Mobile Suit Gundam: Crossfire - mmmhhhh
* NBA ‘07 - 360
* NBA 2k7 - 360
* NHL 2k7 - 360
* Resistance: Fall of Man - nice, but nothing more then COD3 with some aliens added. Pwned big time by the way, by Gears of War
* Ridge Racer 7 - pwned by a year older Ridge Racer 6 on the 360
* Tiger Woods PGA Tour 07 - 360 also
* Tony Hawk’s Project 8 - 360 also but then WITH online gaming
* Untold Legends: Dark Kingdom - well...

So Resistance is like the only game that is reasonable, but then again. Having COD3 is so much better.

Nice Launch line up guys. The 360 line up was far better then this with more original exclusive games.

PGR3
COD2
Kameo
Condemned

already more then this list alone. I named four games and it tops this semi-multiformat list. Nice guys, nice

[InMyOpinion]

I can agree with that. But I thought the 360 launch was weak as well, therefore I waited until Oblivion was released until i bought mine. COD 3 is interesting, but better on 360 as it's in 60 fps. Resistance seems pretty cool but I can't stand the art direction. The rest of the games just feel old and unoriginal, not fresh at all.

[icdedppl]

um, cod2 was not exclusive.

[Grown Folks Talk]

yes it was on pc also, but a completely different game than xbox or ps2.

[lalaland]

Your taste in games is somewhat different from mine, and I respect that.

But I do believe you've made a slight mistake with NBA'07 -- afaik Sony would never develop a game for the X360... Make that one a Sony exclusive as well.

[satanslilh3lp3r]

the 360 had the worst launch lineup ever! kameo: sucks PGR3: HAHAHA! condemned: sucked COD2: only remotely interesting one. i own it on ps2. oh MART, btw, i've seen and played your precious gears of war, and i was harldy impressed. i saw single player, which looked fun (for only 8 hours!) and i played online, which was the most repetitive thing ever! i give it an 8 out of 10 at best. hardly worth buying a 360 for!

[Marty8370]

God you get the prize for the biggest idiot.

[bung tickler]

and you get the prize for being the most blind fanboy... spending $200 more for a weaker system launched... if only on paper, a year later.

[Marriot VP]

thanks for making an educated rebuttal, not to say his are all the time

[Bill Gates]

every time you 360 fanboys continue to comment on PS3 related news articles about how much the system sucks, you continue to keep "pawning" yourselves. It just keeps prooving how much the PS3 is constantly in your thoughts...hahaha...you pathetic LOSERS..

[BIadestarX]

I dare you to talk back to me! Well, at least I didn't name myself "Bill Gates" which based on your theory that we always have the PS3 in our heard.... it is prove that you always have a man in your head. you even have his picture... which makes you a @#$%#$% and I didn't need no technical specs to know that's what you are.

[FirstknighT]

I also think the 360 had a better line up for launch. Call of Duty 2, Condemed, Kameo, PGR3, and Perfect Dark Zero all had great to good reviews. None of these games ranked below a 8.

But to be fair, I would only buy 2 games right away...as long as there 2 good games than it would be worth it. I would pick up Call of Duty 3 and NBA 2k7.

[icdedppl]

this thread is exactly why i don't frequent this site as much anymore. there needs to be more moderation on this site or it's just going to get worse and worse. there is no intelligent discussion at all.

[the_bebop]

I hope that when the PS3 gets released here in Australia we get all the games that are available at the US launch as well and then some. If all the games on this list get released at the launch here in Australia then there will at least be 27 games on launch. This would make a bigger launch line up here then the the 360 launch which from as far as I could tell would be less with the majority of games on the 360 at launch being only FPS and PC port games.

[testerg35]

Good titles, but most are available for 360. Sony needs more "WOW" titles to get people to pick it over the 360.

GOW has better 1st impressions that RFOM and all the other titles look pretty much the same as 360.

[Aramis001]

4 days, 19 hrs, 56 min, 03 sec
4 days, 19 hrs, 56 min, 02 sec
4 days, 19 hrs, 56 min, 01 sec
4 days, 19 hrs, 56 min, 00 sec

God****it Go faster! I'm going to explode with tension (litterally).

[EnforcerOfTheTruth]

...the PS3 launch lineup is better than 360's and RFOM is better than COD3, just read the reviews.
NBA 2K7 is better on PS3 same as RR. RR7 runs in 1080p at 60fps compared to 720p at 3Ofps. The comparison pics are just fake like all the ridiculous rumours spread by some MS fanboys. 2.8ghz Cell or Toy Story graphics anyone? Here is a real comparison pic Martyboy:

It looks like the 360 always tries to hide some issues with darker graphics.

NBA 07 isn't released on 360, it's a Sony game and you probably mixed it up with NBA Live 07.

[kmis87]

Can some website please just release of video of the two running side by side. These screenshots are starting to confuse and annoy me.

[rexdriver]

I think there could have been a lot more launch titles given the year of delay, but because PS3 quantities are not available till later, I guess companies don't want to release their games till then. The "new game" label sells better.

[Apocalypse Shadow]

the "MODS" blow!! they don't care what is being posted or that some people don't try to have intelligent conversations.they even post crappy news stories over legit stories.and you wonder how it got posted.what they should do is wipe all accounts and start new.but when you start an account,you have to decide what game system you're more interested in most.

the mart,thammer,top real multi account deal gamer for 360,bill gates, ps3fan and others on the ps3 side, don't contributes.they don't try to have intelligent discussions on the ps3 side or the 360.they just flame.but call themselves gamers.

so i'm calling you out mods,but you won't be doing anything.until you fix some things,you're site will never be legit.

as for ps3,the 13 titles is good enough until dec. games and feb/march for heavenly sword and motorstorm.

[shikwan]

PS3 launch list (13):
* Call of Duty 3
* Genji 2: Days of the Blade
* Madden NFL 2007
* Marvel Ultimate Alliance
* Mobile Suit Gundam: Crossfire
* NBA ‘07
* NBA 2k7
* NHL 2k7
* Resistance: Fall of Man
* Ridge Racer 7
* Tiger Woods PGA Tour 07
* Tony Hawk’s Project 8
* Untold Legends: Dark Kingdom

NOTHING on this launch list can justify paying $100-200 more for a system. Especially the multiplayer games as Playstation Network will FAIL.
