Five PS3 Games to Watch For at E3 2008

PS3 Informer lists the five PS3 games they are most excited about at E3, as well as the questions they would like to ask developers. No, Killzone 2 and Resistance 2 are not on the list.

[Jamie Foxx]

no doubt fallout will be great,assassins needs alt of work but those are mu;ti-plat titles wouldnt it have been better to make the list exclusive titles?who writes these sh!te articles

[clinker]

At least the list doesn't have the predictable Sony exclusive titles on there. I am so sick of hearing about Killzone 2 it's not even funny.

[NO_PUDding]

I wouldn't be sick of Killzone2 if they actually showed something new.

My list for top 5 titles I'd like to see or hear about at E3 in order of importance.

1.ICO3
2.L.A Noire
3.Rockstar PS3 exclusive
4.Heavy Rain
5.Driver 5

[juuken]

Exactly! I'm pumped for God of War III.

[ATLRoAcH]

Yeah, I'm curious about that Rockstar exclusive. I just don't know what it could be. I wonder if there is a Red Dead Revolver sequel in the works. I don't think that is the exclusive I'm just wondering if it will ever happen.

[fishd]

It was a totally meh list!

And one more thing,HEAVY RAIN will shut alot of mouths,Ahhhhh I love to see idiots stop babbling about PS3's hardware.E3 IS CLOSE:)

[sunnygrg]

True, we've been getting lots of Killzone 2 in Game Events such as this, but it is a strategic decision on Sony's part to build up the hype, and yes, since the footage kicks a$$, who the hell is complaining? I am just sad that my FFXIII is getting no attention at all, lost in the shadows. Square Enix needs to speak up, please.

[kingOVsticks]

FF13? new ico game? sony secret game? GOW 3? hello anyone? Either these guys are very forgetful, or straight up posers...assassin creed is not even on my radar until recently and if there naming multi plat's RESIDENT EVIL 5!!?

[fenderputty]

I don't think I would ever really be sick of KZ2 info. I would still like to see some info regarding the multi-player aspects of the game though.

[Doppy]

I don't think we need to see anything new from Killzone 2 unless it's something new or innovative for the FPS genre.

[damrightfresh]

White Knight
Resistance 2
Infamous
Heavy Rain
Team ICO
Twisted Metal
Killzone 2
LittleBigPlanet
Finaly Fantasy VIII and Versus
Socom
War Devil
God of War 3

[thePatriot]

1 god of war
2 next ICO game
3 socom 4 or confrontations
4 final fantasy
5 twisted metal
6 heavy rain
7 little big planet
8 white knight story
etc...
there. fixed

edit. wrote my coment before reading some of the others. I got beat quick but glad to see good taste. unlike whoever made this list.

[thebudgetgamer]

heavy rain

[kazuma]

bring the rain!

also sony has a LOT more stuff they could show at e3 that list is just silly

[PSN-JeRzYzFyNeSt]

.

[clinker]

Lol nobody cares about Socom except for Socom fans

[Condoleezza Rice]

6 Million Plus copies of Socom Games are little,know what I mean.

[hack6464]

I've never played any previous socom games, and I care. Nice trolling btw.

[The Wood]

me too and agreed

his mind reading skills match that of Patchers prediction skills

[Nitrowolf2]

@ 3.2
i to never played any of them. but looking at that new socom game im might just get it

[clinker]

Alright, I stand corrected! I will go and look up Socom now just to see what all the fuss is about.

[NO_PUDding]

Oh, don't do it on our account.

Confrontation isn't worth my time, but the next Socom (Socom 4) will most definately be a certain buy.

[OMGLOLZ]

However, this new one has me pretty excited...

I don't think you are correct in your assumptions...

[monks]

i am personally looking for something on White Knight Chronicles would be nice they have been very quite

[Condoleezza Rice]

I can't wait for Level-5s beautiful RPG to steal the show,be it E3 or TGS!

[fenderputty]

There's a lot of material I want to see at this E3.

Anyone heard anything more of War Devil? That would be a cool showing as well.

[Silogon]

Sony's line up looks weak this year. I've told you this all a slew of times.

Motor yank 2
Resistance 2 < big deal
Little big planet > What the hell is this really going to offer anyone past a week of play?
Bio shock < we've played this on the xbox 360 for over a year almost. Awesome game, probably the best game out last year but that's the operative word "LAST YEAR" Ps3 and their sloppy seconds.

c'mon, that's all they got?

[Breakfast]

Then stop telling us.

[hack6464]

Why you continue to troll in the gamerzone is beyond me. How you went from five bubbles to one bubble and then back to four bubbles is also beyond me. You blow my mind.

[fishd]

And how about adding socom,africa,siren,teken6 to your list?

[butterfinger]

Nobody likes him, he just hates on everything posted on N4G. He is a sad little hater that might not even own any of the big three consoles. Somebody please ban him, it's getting ridiculous how annoying he is.

@ Breakfast - THANK YOU. LMAO.

[Whoooop]

"I've told you this all a slew of times. "
Then stop telling us.

lol... ^ ^ ^ That should smack him in the face.... then again...

[Silogon]

Fishd, you're right. I actually have overlooked Tekken 6 and Siren but we don't know if they're set for American release this year or not. I am a huge fan of Tekken and Siren aswell. So I grant you that.

As for the rest of you alls snide remarks about me being banned and what have you, all I ask is why? What have I done here besides, obviously not having the same opinion as you all? I'm not doing it to troll, I am simply giving my opinions out.

If you don't like them don't read them. Mark me, ignore me and move on. They do have a button for both.

Thanks.

[Real Gambler]

"I've told you this all a slew of times. "
Then stop telling us. ---- Best reply ever!!!

He is a sad little hater that might not even own any of the big three consoles. ---- He spend so much time trolling here, I'm also starting to think so. Otherwise, he would be playing more and trolling less : )

[thePatriot]

and my spelling too.

[kazuma]

lineup this year? sony published stuff
* Afrika (Japan)
* buzz! quiz tv
* LittleBigPlanet
* MotorStorm: Pacific Rift
* Resistance 2
* Siren: Blood Curse
* SOCOM: Confrontation
psn games
* Elefunk
* pixeljunk eden
* Flower
* Söldner-X: Himmelsstürmer
* Wipeout HD

white knight story? possibly heavy rain? possible final fantasy 13?
not that weak i'd say

[ATLRoAcH]

...is the game I'm most interested in. Not just on this list but period. I think it has the potential to be great. I love the setting. I really hope we get some info on it at E3.

(edit)
@ hack6464

Yeah I know. I forget about it all the time. There has just been no news on it at all. It takes an article like this to remind me of it. Another game that fell off the map is Interstellar Marines. I don't know if it was canceled or what but I thought it looked pretty good.

[hack6464]

I would also like to hear some news on LA Noire. I actually almost forgot about that title. Haven't heard about if for a while now.

EDIT: I'm almost positive Interstellar Marines was canceled awhile ago. But your right it did look like it had potential.

[Shaka2K6]

God of War 3.
God of War 3.God of War 3.
God of War 3.God of War 3.God of War 3.

[hack6464]

GOW is king of hack&slash games.

[sunnygrg]

And where is my FFXII and White Knight Story? RPGs, yummy.

[dachiefsman]

While some of them are exciting, they failed to mention most of the heavy hitters.

GOWIII is the one I am most looking forward too!

[hack6464]

GOW3 all the f'in way!!!

[Closing]

Nuff said.

[MK_Red]

Agreed on that one :)

[MK_Red]

What kind of list is that? Aside from Fallout 3 and LBP, the rest don't deserve to be there IMO. I'm a huge fan of Assassin's Creed and MotorStorm but with God of War 3, Heavy Rain, InFamous and FFXIII...

[The Wood]

i could understand if there weren't enough exclusives to fill up the list but cumon writer throw me a frikkin bone here

[The Goulet]

Who let the dogs out? Who let those dogs out? Who let those little mutts gooooooo yyeaaaaahhhhhhhhh

Goulet

[Aclay]

My top 5 games to watch/hope for at E3 2008:

1.God of War 3 (already confirmed)
2."Secret" PS3 game
3.Naughty Dog's next PS3 project (Uncharted 2???/Jak and Daxter Lost Frontier????)
4. Wardevil
5. Team ICO PS3 project

[hack6464]

Same here. I also want to see what Rockstars exclusive is.

[clinker]

I'm not sure that Team ICO would announce a game at E3. Aren't they more the TGS crowd?

[Daver]

thats a good list, not necessery what i would choose but its a good list nonetheless

[NO_PUDding]

Clinker, I think if Sony need to spice some stuff up, they know ICO and SotC were received VERY well in these western parts.

And I think that Shadow of the Colossus was actually shown at GDC first, then E3, and then TGS. So I don't know. I can only hope though, that some word gets out. Or some gameplay demonstration :P.

[Figboy]

personally, the titles i'm on the lookout for are:

1: infamous
2: God of War 3
3: Little Big Planet
4: LA Noire
5: Heavy Rain
6: Uncharted 2
7: Ratchet and Clank Future 2
8: Team Ico's TWO Playstation 3 projects
9: White Knight Story
10: And whatever unannounced IPs they have in store

Sony has 24 first and second party in house development studios working on PS3 titles (21 first party, 3 second party). we haven't even seen a FRACTION of what they are working on.

not to mention what NC Soft has been cooking up on the MMO front, since they signed that deal to make PS3 MMO's with Sony.

[Daver]

oh really? Sony have 21 studios working on ps3 games? nice i didnt know

[Figboy]

here you go:

First Party:

1) SOE - Seattle - working on The Agency
2) SCE Bend - known for Syphon Filter. working on Unannounced PS3 title
3) SCE Foster City - working on unannounced PS3 title
4) SCE Santa Monica - working on God of War 3
5) Naughty Dog - working on Uncharted 2, and possibly Jak PS3, and a PSN title (they've repeatedly stated they love the idea of the PSN, and wouldn't mind working on something small for it)
6) Zipper Interactive - working on the "real" SOCOM for PS3 (not Confrontation)
7) Incognito - known for Warhawk. working on Twisted Metal PS3
8) SCE San Diego - working on the next MLB: The Show
9) SOE San Diego - working on the DC Universe MMO
10) SCE Liverpool - working on Wipeout HD, and MAYBE Colony Wars PS3

Second Party:

20) Slant Six: working on SOCOM: Confrontation for the PSN
21) Insomniac: working Resistance 2, and Ratchet and Clank Future 2 (and since they just recently opened up a second studio in North Carolina, i'm sure they're working on a THIRD PS3 or PSN title)
22) Ready at Dawn: known for Daxter and God of War: Chains of Olympus on the PSP, expressed interest in developing for the PS3, and they recently announced that they are finished with PSP development
23) Game Republic: known for Genji and Folklore, worked on Dark Mist and Toy Home, currently working on unannounced PS3 title.

ok, so i was off by one, but they have 23 studios working away on titles for the PS3.

*thanks to the February 2008 issue of the Official Playstation Magazine for their list of first and second party Sony studios (Ninja Theory WAS on that list, but i took them off, since they've gone into multi-platform development).

[Isaac]

Is Sony Santa Monica the studio where David Jaffe works at? And if not what's its name? Under which studio were PAIN and Calling All Cars released? I also think SCE London is working on PS3's Bioshock (the devs said a "mystery" PS3 dev is aiding Take Two; I'm guessing it is them since they halted work on the Getaway).

[dachiefsman]

David Jaffe is now a third party dev. with Eat Sleep Play which is outta Utah...he is developing for Sony but works under the company Eat Sleep Play. He is working on the new Twisted Metal which I am sure is gonna be sweet!!

I subscribe to his blog: http://www.davidjaffe.biz/

Its a great read cause he is always stirring up sh*t.

[Figboy]

what dachiefsman said.

[master pain]

i need my dose of tekken how long are they going to beta test the game?!

[RobertGonz69]

is PS3 trump card. Can not wait for this game.

[REDZEV]

Just 5 games??? bummer. what will the fanboys do during those cold months of winter when theres no other games to play??? well I guess theyll be able to watch MGS4 for like the 100th time.

[fishd]

And your cconsole will save you from cold days and nights of the winter,you could even cook your food on it,the sad part is 1 cpnsole isn't enought,you know they will die so fast,it's better to buy a few more,they are cheap,even cheaper than wii,what a shame!

[master pain]

have you even clicked on that link? rrodbot?

we will be play superior games on ps3 while you use your 360 as a heater

[Kleptic]

the 360 is seriously THE most efficient space-heater in the universe...I am totally not kidding...

[Obama]

Not if it explodes. Even as a heater it is doing a rather lousy job XD.

[proArchy]

I'm glad I'm not invited. I'd hate to get drool all over LittleBigPlanet and Fallout 3. Yeah, that's it, glad.

[mugoldeneagle03]

As an avid gamer/Playstation 3 launch owner I want to see:

1) God of War III Unveiled
2) Heavy Rain
3) Resistance 2
4) Team ICO Project
5) Sony's "Super Secret" game everyones been boasting about

I don't want games we have enough information already on, especially when the article states games to "watch" for. I know Fallout 3 is going to be great, and I'll buy every other game on that list. Anyways. E3's going to be amazing. I don't think I've even mentioned Motorstorm, Socom, Killzone, LittleBigPlanet, and everything else Sony has up their sleeves

[Tacki]

I don't think they should have mentioned any titles that aren't PS3 exclusives... unless it's something amazing. Fallout 3 many people seem to be interested in so I'd let that one slide... but Assassin's Creed was a very flawed game. It was shined up all nice... but the reptitive nature of the game just turned me completely off after a short time.

God of War 3
Final Fantasy XIII
Team Ico Project

I kinda think we might not see any footage of FFXIII till TGS... but if all three of those games are shown I don't see anyone being able to outdo Sony's show. Throw in some stuff like White Knight Chronicles, a bit more Gran Turismo 5, Heavy Rain, Killzone 2 and some other titles and it'll just be an unbeatable showing IMO.

[Panipal2005]

Nah, there'll be footage of FFXIII at Square's August party

One more vote for TRICO/Heavy Rain/and it's about time for this secret title the BBC guy saw to be shown too (if it's not TRICO, I suspect it could be)

[REDZEV]

Hey Fishy, did I mention I gutted out my PS3??? yeah I gutted it out and it makes a great Grill kinda similiar to a george foreman grill in fact, its better than my george foreman grill. you should do it to yours.

[fishd]

Easy man,easy,buy a PS3 and the whole world will smile at you,instead of what they are doing with you now : Laughing at you LOUD!

[Kleptic]

REDZEV...your jokes suck...kill yourself...

[Clinton514]

Not happening anytime soon. Thank goodness for that. They need to rethink their next step on of the series. AC left me pretty underwhelmed.

[REDZEV]

Hey fishy I did own a ps3 and its garbage man sorry. sony let you down not me. But hey its your opinion its cool. Sh*t you fanboys would jump of a cliff for sony if they asked you to.

[fishd]

""""1 day ago
ahhhhhhhhhh!!! say it aint so SONY!!!!!!
Whats this??? Ps3 users unhappy??? there free online service is on the down in out.....Again??? Whats a Sony fanboy to do??? I mean we cant have unhappy fanboys. The world would end as we know it. we cant have that. you get what you dont pay for you know that right??? . I had actually a brillant idea the other day. they need to bring out yet another version of the genius siaxis controller with a huge red "PANIC" button on it so when either you lose connection or your game freezes or any other debaucle you have on POS3 you can get hold of support online just like that. Ya know Sony to the rescue. But wait! I guess if your service is down it wouldnt work nevermind ;)~ """"

with comments like this and some better one you say you do own a PLAYSTATION 3(all in caps;)!
Liar,you will burn in the hell,or maybe by your 'console'

[Old Snake]

I can't wait for La Noire and the team Ico project. If Rockstar can deliver on La Noire, that game might have a chance to be better than GTA IV.

[Swiftfox]

Thats the first I have actually seen of LA Noire and I know it is an older teaser trailer, but that didn't stop me from thinking that it has alot of potential.

Assassin's Creed 2? They did leave the first blaitently open for a sequil, in fact the game felt more like a trailer in terms of story. I loved Assassin's Creed, but I fee that Ubisoft should consentraite it's efforts in making that game a more complete experience with downloadable content such as different weapons, missions, etc to find out what turns their audiance on. This would make the next installment one hell of a game.

[CHRP718]

1. God of War III
2. Heavy Rain
3. InFamous
4. Team ICO Project
5. LA Noire

[peedie16]

@ CHRP718 I agree 100% with your list

Is this the best list they can come up with

[59fifty8]

I am a sony fanboy so what at least im not tried of playing the same shooting games over and over again. i mean please halo 3 same as halo 2 and halo 1. gears 2 is gonna be the same as gears 1, ninja gaiden rip off onimusha. mgs4 is king of story games. and god of war 3 need to say more how bout ffxlll. sony will eventally kill ms.

bye bye xbox....

[Asurastrike]

That list was poor. Here's mine in no particular order.

1. Little Big Planet
2. inFamous
3. God of War 3
4. Final Fantasy XIII
5. White Knight Chronicles

[Highwayman]

On that list LBP and L.A. Noire are definate for me. Everything else is meh.

[jkhan]

That was one dumb list. I mean no mention of killzone 2, R2, White Knight Chronicles, GOW3, FFXIII etc. Nopes look out of Assassin's Creed 2. Dumbass

[DFresh]

All these games are going to be there it's just a matter of waiting until E3 starts that we get to see these awesome games in action for the first time.

[arika]

mine is better.

1 GOD OF WAR 3
2 RESISTANCE 2
3 KILLZONE 2
4 WHITE KNIGHT STORY
5 TEAM ICO PROJECT
6 FF 13
7 UNCHARTED 2
8 HEAVY RAIN
9 INFAMOUS
10 LITTLE BIG PLANET

just to name a few heavy hitters.....

[HelghastGeneral]

Xbox fan boys can't take it that their system doesn't have an exclusive title that got a ten score like metal gear solid 4. In addition to microsoft can't take it either that they know sony always steals the show they fear of god of war 3. 360 is the same as windows vista its a rushed system to make a profit but everyone including microsoft knows its going down. Metal gear solid 4 is a true next generation game that deserves a ten its a on 50gig blue ray disc and has the best animation possible from the cell processor.

[wind_dragon]

Really? meh. i think Mirrors edge should be on that list.
