2009: The PS3 games to look out for

Talk Playstation.com writes:"Anyway, was 2008 the year of PS3? No. Will 2009 be the year of PS3? Possibly. The following games are the ones to look out for and could make Sony leader of 2009."

[HighDefinition]

Killzone2,MAG,WKC,INfamous,FF1 3,GOW3,GT5, Heavy Rain,Uncharted2 and Much MUCH more.

That`s almost a BLOCKBUSTER every month.

Impressive.....yeah!

[HighDefinition]

Even if you have Gears in your console, that`s impressive.

you FAIL.

[HemDroid]

!!!!!!!!

[HighDefinition]

OK?

[La Chance]

Thats impressive but lets hope 2009 doesnt end up like 2008.

I mean which game are going to disapear from the 2009 list...

This year The Getaway , FF13 , 8 days , GT5 , WKC , Infamous , GT5 and KZ2 disappeared from the 2008 lineup.

I hope for you guys 2009 wont be the same as this year.

[HighDefinition]

To tell you the TRUTH, I hope they delay some of them, I`m not gonna be able to play all those BIG titles in a year.

BTW, 2008 was STELLAR w/o all those games, what does that tell you?

[La Chance]

That tells me you're not very demanding or youve been playing alot of the excellent quality multiplat games that came out this year.

Come on just admit it.Except for MGS 4 what was so crazy on the PS3 this year ?

[HighDefinition]

I like playing games I enjoy, that is all

Besides MGS4........LBP. I would rather have a PS3 and LBP beta, then 90% of games out there.

******BTW*********

Aren`t you a HARDCORE Christian?

Isn`t against GOD to be such a Prick?

LOL.

[joydestroy]

Killzone 2, Infamous, Twisted Metal, God of War 3, Wardevil, and Uncharted 2 FTW!!!!!!

i don't know much about the others.

[La Chance]

Im a faithful christian and proud of it.

"Aren`t you a HARDCORE Christian?

Isn`t against GOD to be such a Prick?

LOL."

euh...I'll give you a laugh just to be polite - ahahaha - and like I said, somebody who's happy with a PS3 and a LBP BETA ONLY rather than having all the great games out there isnt very demanding.

BTW you didnt answer my question , except fro MGS4 what was so wonderful on the PS3 this year ?

edit: @high defintion : lol , were talking about video games why are you so eager to talk about Christianity ?

Its more than off topic so If you want to talk PM me , no problem , I'll be happy to talk with you, really.

[HighDefinition]

LBP, R2, MStorm2, Bioshock, Rockband2, Farcry2, MGS4, Socom, WKC(In JP) GT5P, RC:Q4B, PJE, The Warhawk expansions.....I could go on for hrs. You lose get over it. Your point has no point.

@below
Your right, I edited it.

@lachance

I edited it, I`m done. And NO PMs please I try to filter out as much JUNK as I can.

[Cenobia]

@High Definition

Thanks, but yeah I agree. The PS3 has had a very successful year in my opinion. They definitley delivered on games, and with Home around the corner I'm not disappointed in Sony at all. They give me the games I want (more than I can afford) and that's all I care about.

[bunbun777]

Since Im always interested in what everyone else has to say, will Omega or someone please inform this ignorant Ps3 owner (me)what 360 has lined up in '09? Id like to compare a bit- feel free to throw in some tentatives. Thanx!

[No Way]

You will know soon enough what the 360 will have for 09. I don't know if you noticed, but MicroSoft doesn't tell what they will have until it's the next year, or at least very close to it.

[iHEARTboobs]

Troll much?

Anyhow, lots of big titles coming out next year. That's not even counting the multi-plats.

[Socom]

WipeOut HD
SOCOM
Motorstorm 2
Whiteknight
HOME
Fat princess
Naruto
Resistance 2
Little Big Planet
MGS4

Thats the best line up ever seen. All these ridiculous articles are uber fail.

360 isnt even selling beyond its original install base, ie. 25 million.
PS3 has already sold 17 million and there is still 140 million PS2 owners itching to play beyond.

I think we all know who will win this war. Its ridiculous how we have to sit here and listen to this kind of trash and let the 360 fanboys talk trash all day long.

[No Way]

Uhm.. Well, I think it's ridicolous that we have to sit here and listen to you spouting about which console you want to win.. It's a little sad that you want one console to.. win, don't you think?

[calis]

"Come on just admit it.Except for MGS 4 what was so crazy on the PS3 this year ?"

Even if there was just one (and Little Big Planet lived up to it's hype, so there is two) it is still one more than the 360 had.

[FCC]

Lol... It's not like PS3 fanboys don't troll in 360 articles.
It's not like 3/4 of those fanboys get flamed or anything...

Proof is in the pudding. :\ sorry.

...getting right back on to Resistance 2.

2008 was supposed to be the year of the PS3, I don't fully agree; it is the year the PS3 got it's true first blockbuster games starting with Uncharted (if you count the business year). 2009 will be (my personal opinion, as opposed to fact) the year will be favorable for the PS3. IF, and only IF Microsoft's unrevealed games are up to par with the level of quality we've been seeing with Alan Wake, then I'm confident that the 360 could last 10 years along with Sony; if they (both) keep pushing really hard to the end.

[Lifendz]

Killzone 2 no matter what. Uncharted 2 as well.

In famous depending on the reviews. Heavenly Rain might be a rental.

[BattleAxe]

Looks like LaChance got a little bored with the lack of Xbox 360 games comming out so he decided to come and see what he's missing out on.

Xbox has one good exclusive game comming out in '09 and thats Splintercell, but we don't even know if its going to be good yet amd maybe Alan Wake will arrive in '09, but same thing, might be good, might not.

Why are you fighting the power?

[Horny]

agree with LaChance he made a good point. At last 40% of this will get pushed back, one or two maybe even canceled.

But to the question La Chance asked: "Come on just admit it.Except for MGS 4 what was so crazy on the PS3 this year ?"
GT5P- first game i was excited about, its pretty good, beautiful game, doing its job in holding me over till 5 comes.
Metal Gear Solid 4 - was awesome as you already stated, amazing game, one of the best, GOTY imo.
LBP- no arguing there, u might not be interested hearing about it but once you play it your hooked.
MotorStorm2- great arcade racer and fun multiplayer game if u got friends over.
Socom Confrontation - Replaced COD4, Halo3, Battlefield BC, as my fav online game, issues are fixed and the game is superb.
Resistance 2 - Another all around fantastic game, one of the best multiplayer.

Maybe if you guys wouldnt be so damn defensive and answer questions he wouldnt come of to u as a troll.

[prowiew]

I cant wait for jak and god of war. Those are the games im really looking forward. Lets see if in 2009 I use my ps3 more. Cause 2008 was the dust machine. Looking forward for 2009!

[Beast_Master]

Games for my list that are multi-plat but still worth a look. PS3 I gonna get Infamous, KZ2 and GoW3, maybe even Quantum Theory.

But what about these titles?

RE5
Dark Void
Ghostbusters
I am Alive
Assasin's creed 2 (rumored)
FF13
IW's COD6

???

360's tentative list (I am not a 360 fanboy but this is what I would guess)?

Halo 3 Recon
Halo Wars
Alan Wake
One more Square game
Splinter Cell: Conviction
Maybe (Not sure if MS has that studio anymore) Forza 3
A game or 2 from Rare (Viva Pinata 3) lol
???

[xwabbit]

Fcc is such a fan boy omg. DOOD GET ALL SYSTEMS PLZ!! ITS freaking games people stop the console wars its dumb. Just learn to play and ignore any one who comes with crap to you.

[HemDroid]

But i cant see anything worth a Damm on the Horizon !!!!

[La Chance]

PS3 games to look out for ?

Bah ! who cares , they'll all be disappointing like the much hyped Resistance 2 or flop badly like LBP.

Anyway half of them will end on 360.

[HighDefinition]

You know 90% of them are 1st party right? Sony doesn`t lose 1st parties, that`s MSs speciality.

[La Chance]

Yeah thats why I said most of them are going to be disappointing.

[Sony Rep]

LOL. I would say that too, if the only good game the X-Flop had for the next 4 or 5 years was Gears of War 2!

I guess we all can't have flagship titles that score a whole bunch of 8's and 7's. /sarcasm

http://www.n4g.com/NewsPend...

[HighDefinition]

Yep.

2008 was pretty disappointing.

Sarcasm.

Disappointing is PAYING for XBL year after year and having your system MALFUNCTION, not playing the GREAT games I have this year and last.

[Pennywise]

Well, I think it is fair to say that not only are PS3 users older and more mature... They also have a higher I.Q.

La Chance(filthy troll), R2 is anything but a disappointment and
LBP is not even in everyones hands yet. I know people still waiting for the stores to get it.

I think you will be surprised at LBP numbers. You are so quick to forget it had a botched release with a recall. Its Obvious Sony does not care about selling all copies day one on the same day. The sales will be spread out and this game has long sexy legs.

[ultimolu]

Then you aren't looking hard enough.
And LaChance, obvious *you* cared because you came here to comment!

[jaffa_cake]

looks like 09 gonna be more expensive then 08 best start saving now

[DrakenSilverwing]

Ya got that right!.. except these last few weeks and this month... i've been nearly goin broke!.. well i can't wait for many/most of those games next year..

Current PS3 collection (64 games!)(see profile)
All i need is more time!!!

[jams_shop]

How can we save any thing when they are killing our wallets now. I'm about to refinance my apartment so that I can pay some bills and buy some more games. lol

[mercyless9]

i can play heavenly sword 2 , max payne and the getaway next year but i know that's not gonna happen (fingers crosssed). sorry guyz, but im greedy

[Omega4]

So i guess everyone has moved onto 2009 now that 2008 isnt the year of the PS3

I dont see FFvsXIII, GT5 or God of War 3 coming out in 09 i really dont. The PS3 is known for delays and no gameplay has been shown for these games so expect 2010 at the earliest

As for Killzone 2 im doubtful this game will be as successful as most people hope, if R2 a game which featured HUGE multiplayer features and looked a lot more innovative than K2 got scores in the 8s and low 9s what chance does K2 have

[cellypower]

you sound like a hater! If don't like a ps3 or its games why comment?So your saying that killzone 2 won't be successful?

[HighDefinition]

Come out in a faster succession than Bioshock,Halo and Mass Effect did. And 2007 was SUPPOSEDLY the 360s year, even though it got OUTSOLD. :)

[Mr_Bun]

The professional troll! You must not like your bubbles if you are constantly trolling the PS3 threads.

[Mr_Luke]

"As for Killzone 2 im doubtful this game will be as successful as most people hope, if R2 a game which featured HUGE multiplayer features and looked a lot more innovative than K2 got scores in the 8s and low 9s what chance does K2 have"

Oh pls... don't talk about things you don't know... really, i hate xbox fanboys, there's nothing worse... why you like so much throwing mud on EVERYTHING about Sony or PS3? You and your friend knightwhatever... If you hate it so much, why you post these comments or so? Really, i don't understand. There are other sections

[La Chance]

- record breaking losses.

- vanishing 2008 lineup (check post 1.5)

- being outsold in Japan (JAPAN!!!) and USA (since price drop)

- Lost exclusivity of one the biggest games ever FF13.

- Lost Tekken 6 - L.A Noire is on its way , just wait and see.

- Mutiplats still look better on 360.

- 2 of its biggest games this year are going to ba a half flop (LBP) or chainsawed by Gears 2 (Resistance)

[joydestroy]

how was '08 not a great year for the PS3? seriously?
not only did sales pick up but great games like LBP and Resistance 2 got released, as well as Motorstorm 2. there's 3 games right there! i'll only be picking up Fable 2 and Left 4 Dead on my 360. MAYBE GeoW2, and i might pick up Socom for the PS3. that's a tie in my book. great year for both consoles!

@ La Chance:
what are you talking about?
Burnout Paradise and Dead Space are just two games off the top of my head that are multiplats that look better on the PS3. LBP and Resistance 2 are both AAA titles. and i'm glad titles like Killzone 2 and Infamous were pushed into '09. they will be better for it. there's plenty coming out this year for gamers to choose from as it is.

[butterfinger]

We haven't seen gameplay from GT5? Really? lol. That's funny when everyone hating on the PS3 (like you) basically called GT5:P a $40 demo.

[Poirot9]

Though it bothers me that you appear to specifically look for every opportunity to say negative things about the PS3 and its lineup, I at least like that you tend to use a certain amount of logic in your arguments (rather than spewing random negativity). And I agree with some of your criticisms. Here's my perspective on the 4 games you discussed.

1)GT5: No gameplay? Are you serious? There's an entire quasi-demo/half game (GT5:P) out that's sold millions of copies. They have a working game engine. By mid 2009, they'll have had over a year to simply add some content (albeit a good chunk of content), polish the already impressive graphics a tiny bit, and add damage, which will likely take some time, but certainly not enough to delay it to 2010. So I'd say you're wrong about that one.

2)GOW3: Hmm.... This one is tough. On the one hand, you're right that no gameplay has been shown and that's not good. But many sources have hinted to a late 2009 release and, from some of the articles I have read about it, it sounds like there's been a LOT going on behind the scenes with Kratos and co. That being said, it's very possible that it does get delayed. I'd say this game is 50/50 for 2009.

3)FFvs13: I completely agree with you. Anybody who thinks this is coming out in 2009 is completely deluding themselves in my opinion. First, I doubt it's coming out before FF13. Second, FF13 still has to come out in Japan (no release date yet), then be developed for the 360, then be localized for the PS3, then be released in the rest of the world, and THEN FFvs13 will be released. So, yeah, you're right.

4)Killzone 2: You're right and you're wrong about this title, in my opinion. I think the unimaginable hype associated with this game is setting it up for a fall. There are lots of fanboys ranting about "just wait til killzone killzowns teh 360," but I still have reservations about this game. I would like to think that the HUGE budget and LONG develop cycle have caused the developers to focus on the gameplay as much as they have on the graphics, but I'm not convinced yet. To say that it won't score high simply because Resistance, a game with 60 player online, didn't score that high, is not the best reasoning.
In the end, I think Killzone will succeed if it can bring some style and personality to the table. Like or not, both Gears are huge successes not because of graphics (though they helped), and CERTAINLY not because of gameplay (though it's not bad by any stretch), but because they brought a distinctive, captivating style to the table that makes people interested. If Killzone can do that, than I am confident that it's COD4ish gameplay and stellar graphics can take care of the rest. It just needs personality.

Phew. Sorry for ranting there. I just read a lot of the comments and only comment myself rarely, so I had a lot to get off my chest.

My 2 cents.

[Anon1974]

In terms of games I think the PS3 had the best year out of all of them. I hadn't bought a 360 game since Halo 3 until Fable 2 came out. I'll buy Gears 2 afterwards, but that's all for 2008. So that's two decent exclusives for the 360. Not quite the impact of the 2007 lineup. The PS3 by contrast had a very solid year of both exclusvies and multiplatform games. It'd say it was pretty even with the PS3 coming out ahead for what they offered gamers. Plus, winning the whole HD format wars thing was a feather in their cap.

[swiftshot93]

just go to the open zone

[Rock Bottom]

I stooped using bubbles ages ago, that "ignore" thingy is way more effective I tell you.

[RAF-TECH]

lets be honest.
God of War 3
and Killzone 2

bottom line.
GOTY will go to final fantasy 13

[DNAgent]

Is FF13 being made by Square-Enix still? If so, then it won't be GOTY. Squaresoft made good FF games for consoles but Square-Enix came along and the FF series turned to garbage. People still seem to expect like they can deliver the same quality that was in the good FF games back on the PS1 but the fact is, they can't.

Besides, FF13 won't even be close to GOTY if it comes out in 2009 cause there will be God of War 3, Heavy Rain, Killzone 2, White Knight Chronicles, and many other titles that are much better.

[Gue1]

What happened with God of War 3, Killzone 2, Heavy Rain, White Knight Story, Quantum Theory, MAG, Infamous, War Devil, Demon's Souls rumor: Uncharted 2, Team ICO game, new Twisted Metal game? and i'm not even mentioning any multi-plat game here...

what the X360 have? GeoW3? Halo 4?

[RAF-TECH]

tsk tsk.
Before FF13 went multi.
PS3 fanboys said it was gonna be GOTY.
Now that 360 is getting it.. They place white knight infront..

childish behaviour

[DNAgent]

The thing is, it's being downgraded for the 360. Not only that but it's made by Square-Enix, people thought it would be released this year, and now that we have seen much better games (and more gameplay of WKC) then of course it's not going to be GOTY or anywhere close to it. The only people who said it would be GOTY anytime after that were gullible fanboys who thought Square-Enix hasn't lost their quality (but they have).

On another note, i'm sure there will be people posting spoilers to the FF13 ending on a bunch of 360 forums and posting ending videos once they import the Japanese version for the PS3. I mean I just have a feeling that it will happen. I don't know who will do it...Or do I? ;)

Anyways, even judging from the trailers that have been released alone you can already tell that WKC will be much better than FF13 (if you're not a complete fanboy that is).

[ezcex]

how is 08 the 360s?

[edhe]

How is it not [vs ps3 only]?

360 has had more/higher rated titles via retail and dd, a huge price drop globally and a new GUI that takes the best from all kinds of sources and pumps the social experience & performance up even further.

The ps3 had a better year this year, but it wasn't the year of the ps3, even if it was just compared to the 360.

Wii won outright.

[Cenobia]

You mention NXE, but Home is coming this year too (hopefully this month). Both consoles had price drops, and the PS3 got a video store. Plus I think the PS3 had a few more exclusive (at least the last few months, I honestly didn't count).

If anything the xbox and PS3 have been neck and neck so far. I don't think there is a clear winner (except the Wii probably, although that's just sales), and definitley don't think there is a clear loser.

Both consoles have improved greatly this year.

[jtucker78]

I would say it has been a great year for PS3 and 360 owners.

Some great exclusives and some great multiplats for the big two consoles.
We're all winners!

@ edhe "Wii won outright."

What does that even mean these days? (Yes, I do know what that means - hardware sales)

Do you think that old school Nintendo fans and Wii owners are cheering that the "Wii has won!" What does that mean to them?

Yey, Nintendo have won hardware sales!
I've nothing to play on my Wii, but at least we won. Whoopie!

Now pass me the Dualshock 3 please, so I can play an avalanche of highly rated PS3 exclusives and HD console multiplat titles.

[Grooski]

Official figures so far this calendar year (Sony/MS figures worldwide)

PS3 - 6.32 mill
Xbox360 - 4.80 mill

Considering where the system was late in 2007, on the canvas and bleeding, to where it is now, damn straight it is the year of the PS3.

[BWS1982]

why do people always use ratings to say that games were better? That's ignorant. Metacritic this, metacritic that, again, ignorant, means nothing.

[Shane Kim]

My most wanted list is:

1. Killzone 2
2. Infamous
3. God of War 3 (nr 3 because we haven't seen anything of it yet, otherwise it would probably be nr 1)
4. GT5
5. White Knight
6. FF versus
7. I give up, just too many good games.

[Chuck Norris]

*Jak 4 AND Uncharted 2? - Naughty Dog does not have the manpower to release two blockbusters in the same year.

*God of War 3? - When was this announced as a 2009 release?

*Twisted Metal and Trico are doubtful at best.

[HighDefinition]

GOW3.....Nov 2009.

[Kleptic]

Jaffe confirmed TM PS3 for a scheduled 2009 release...its most likely using Warhawk's engine, making the turn around pretty quick...

and yeah...as soon as GoW 3 was announced and the teaser shown, Tretton mentioned it going for a late 2009 release (to counter rumors of it being spring 2009)...

I have no idea about Trico though...

[ultimolu]

...There goes my purse again. ._.;

[joebahrjoebahr]

is scheduled for 2010.

man,

id be suprsed if they didnt push back ALL of thier release dates.

[HighDefinition]

Nov 2009.

[elorm9]

2009 is the golden year of the PS3

[La Chance]

I thought it was supposed to be this year.

Oh well , lets wait some more.

[lawman1108]

Wait......2010 year of the PS3, uh I mean 2011.....wait until 2012....Fail,Fail,Fail........ ..

[likedamaster]

LOL. I'm laughing again, bubbles for both responses.

[Grimlock]

Ive heard this all before...

Wait till PS3 releases...It will blow the 360 out the water!!

Wait till HAZE...(HAHA)

Wait till 08...(PS3 and teh CELL will own!!)

Wait till MGS4...(Movie)

Wait till LBP...(DOLLHOUSE)

Wait till Socom...(FLOP-AGE)

Wait till this Patch...(incomplete games?)

Wait till R2...(average like the first, PS2 graphics) A bald MIME main character? I hope he talk on 2nd one!

Now its wait till 2009!!!

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!

Pathetic SONY DROIDS.... WAIT and WAIT and WAIt and WAIT.....

Doesnt it SUCK that the "inferior" 360 is always curbstomping the PS3's every move??

Yeah, Go play with your SACKBOY and play with STICKERS!! and PLAY BEYOND!!

LOL!!!

[RAF-TECH]

that's their moto...

I'm honestly just waiting for gran turismo.
If there is no engine swapping and damage.
don't even bother releasing the game.

[elorm9]

LBP and MGS4 are both beatin' up all the Xbox exclusives in terms of reviews since that's where you people base your judgements. So I guess since those games are flops, your games are also flops? Yeah, talk about a flop getting a high review :|

I'm glad to be a "droid" because I can at least think for myself. Unlike "bots" who are programmed to say what they're told.

[rucky]

PS3 already owned the 360 this year and will own it the next year... and will so the next... and the next... until M$ releases their next console while they're ahead and say they won this gen

[NickIni]

PS3 has won 08.

Fable 2 didn't do as well as expected, not AAA on most sites (still damn good though).

Gears 2 average score is dropping at a rapid rate.

Left 4 Dead is 360's last chance for a real ground breaking exclusive.

And you say PS3 didn't win?

[Shane Kim]

Dude please, PS3 owned xbox in every way possible this year. GT5:P, MGS4, LBP and now R2.

[Darkseider]

Damned near broke my games fund. Warhawk Expansions, SOCOM, Bio Shock, Fallout 3, R2, LBP, GT5P, MStorm2, Star Wars:TFU and MGS4.

Now with 2009 coming and the new batch of games, I fear I will have to sell blood or even a kidney! ;) In any case 2008 was great and 2009 looks to be even better!

[Kush_Reaper]

Seems like 09 is going to be an awesome year for us gamers. Can't wait to rip of some heads in GOW3 hehe.

PLAY BEYOND NOT BEHIND

[Dmack79]

Well it looks like the PS3 is going to dominate 2009 just like it did 2008. Even most of the third party developers know this. (Example: Team Ninja: "The PS3 has more Potential.")

[demoneyeslaharl]

2008 for me was definitely a good year for Playstation. 360 doesn't matter as I don't own it, nor plan to.

You got Metal Gear Solid 4, LittleBigPlanet, and soon, Resistance 2. Those three titles alone made the year worth it. Plus since most third parties are multi-platform, good games come around from everywhere as well.

Plus, Valkyria Chronicles, another PS3 Strategy RPG is coming, plus for Japan, White Knight Chronicles to boost the audience there.

I see nothing wrong for 2009. It will be big, more expansive than this year. Bring it on.

[XxRoosterxX]

I would be so stoked for a next-gen twisted metal, as long a David Jaffe is in charge of the game.

[DiabloRising]

Year of this, year of that. More like year of the fanboy.

Both systems had a great lineup this year, I don't see either one totally trumping the other to a level of "this was the year of."

Once again, this site proves how stupid it is.

[xwabbit]

just want to ask but.... what games does 360 have coming ?

[pp]

Kill zone 2 sure does make Resistance 2 look like a ps2 game.

[demoneyeslaharl]

I just noticed the the blog put Jak 4 and Uncharted 2 on the list... does that mean Naughty Dog is pulling an Insomniac? (lol... love that term).

[reelife]

Can't say Halo Wars looks good. I can't play RTS games on a console, and I think many other people agree with me that RTS games is best on pc.

[elorm9]

It'll definitely come to PC

[Jecht]

By the looks of things, it appears that the PS3 is going to outsell the 360 for the year. So, yeah, it was the year of the PS3. What kind of dumbass question is that?

[monkpunk1]

Uncharted
Grid
Fifa
Cod4
Bioshock
Far Cry 2
Condemned 2
Wipeout hd
Tekken 5 online
Gran Turismo Prologue
GTA 4 (turd)
GH 3
Buzz
(I have also been a beta tester for R2, LBP, Killzone and Socom. Having never played before I also played God Of War 2 as well)

Hmmm sure i'm missing something, oh yeah METAL GEAR SOLID 4 the simple reason I bought my ps3. There is no game like it and there never will be. And nothing still beats a good thrashing on resistance 1.

I will be taking a look at Blood Siren/ Dead Space R2 and LBP before the end of the year too, how nice...I also managed to go outside, get drunk with my friends many times, see my family, sleep with my girlfriend (not my fist like some prople here) and go to work and earn a living (unlike some people here)

As for the gears quote, you can ram your gears right up your anus, go take some roids watch your penis shrivel whilst shouting Woo Ha! For all I care.

wow i see a whole lot of haters here damn lol whats the deal with you guys seriously...i know its been a long wait for a good game (gears 2) how long did it take seriously? 10 months? anyhoo im not gonna bash because i do like gears and will be getting it once its out but damn so much hate for the playstation..why? we came off last generation with one of the best systems in the ps2 with such high quality games and now this generation everyone decided it was cool and badass to hate on the ps3..why? because YOU chose the 360 then noticed the ps3 a year later and went sh!t maybe i shouldve waited...the least you guys can do is acknowledge that the ps3 has pumped out quality titles with games like gt5p, mgs4, socom (there is a great game underneath the issues) lbp, buzz, motorstorm 2, resistance 2, naruto ultimate ninja storm and psn titles like siren blood curse, pixeljunk eden, wipeout hd (my favorite), ratchet and clank quest for booty, the recent warhawk expansion...hate all you want but you cant deny all that then again you probably would

[bunbun777]

so i found a few games of interest for the 360 here-

Halo Recon
Alan Wake (?)
Forza
Mass Effect 2 (exclusive?)
Splinter Cell

Sorry I'm not a 360 expert but is Bayonetta going to be out for Ps3? And there were other titles I saw but since I knew nothing of them or whether they were exclusive or not- I didn't include. Not bad for someone who doesn't play a 360.

[yog-sothot]

bayonetta should be released on PS3 too.

I own both a 360 and a PS3 but I don't use my 360 that much as my favourite "exclusive" 360 games are also released on the PC (well, not Fable 2 ou Gears 2 of course). I can't wait for Mass effect 2 for example, but I'll likely play it on my PC as I did for the first one. Unless it requires crazy specs

[calis]

Mass Effect 2 won't be exclusive.

[ultimolu]

PS3 set to bring on the heat for next year.

Keep it up Sony!

[killcycle]

It depends on what you mean wheb you say " was it the year of the ps3"
Talking about console sales i'd say no because of the wii but i definautly think we got a good sweet taste of what the ps3 can do and made the community much bigger then it used to be.

I had the ps3 on release and when you first hit up sites (any site) about games all you'll get on the forums were horrible remarks by xbox gamers all loading any ps3 game section forum.

However now i see it both ways, theres alot more people sticking up for sony now and aint being affected by the people that tried to quickly kill the ps3 before it made something of itself.

mgs4, little big planet, wiepout HD, resistance 2, and my personal favourite motorstorm 2 were more then enough to show the ps3 aint going no where,

So thats why ps3 is my console of the this year.

[Aclay]

So far I think the PS3's 2009 lineup looks far more impressive.

The only game that I think might not be released in 2009 is Final Fantasy Versus XIII and Jak 4. I don't think there's no way that Naughty Dog can develop Uncharted 2 and Jak 4 at the same time because they are a pretty small development studio... Uncharted 2 will come next year and Jak 4 will probably come in 2010 or 2011.

I think that the only notable games that are currently known on the 360 for next year is Alan Wake and Splinter Cell Conviction.... and both of those games will be coming out on the PC... I don't really consider Halo Wars a notable title because it's an RTS and not a FPS.

I'm looking forward to every PS3 exclusive next year, but Killzone 2, God of War 3, and Uncharted 2 are my most anticipated.

Microsoft tends not to mention games too early, but in 2009 Microsoft is going to need more than a $199 price point to dominate because the PS3 will be bringing the heat.

[ToastyMcNibbles]

i have a strange strange feeling splinter cell conviction will no longer be exclusive and will go multiplatform...you heard it first from the ToastMan ;)

[BlackTar187]

but I bet your right. toast. by the way where is that game?
I played both systems alot. To chose a winner well I have to say sony because of MGS4 but my next favorite game is Dead Space and Socom. Fable 2 was good while it lasted and NG2 was kinda cracky but Gears 2 thats a GEM for sure. I have to say my xbox has seen way more hours then my ps3 but my ps3 as of late is just ahead to me IMHO for 2008. but who cares games ar emade for fun.

This was a reasonable post people i like all systems Een the Wiiiiiiiiiii : (.

[GamingGeekPS3360]

I also own a 360 and at this moment I am pretty happy to also own a PS3..because 2009 looks pretty bleak for 360 owners..Alan Wake, Splinter Cell, Halo Wars(BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO), Tekken, Street Fighter IV, and FF and thats it? Two of those games will come on PC and the rest will also be on PS3..

2009 may prompt MS to consider an early release of the Next 360....

[LevDog]

You see whats on that list... VARIETY.... Unlike 360s 09 lineup.. Halo Wars and ...... well nothing.. Geez 360 the 2 series console.. Gears and Halo... Then Gears Wars will come out.. Seriously come out with something new.. Well its another year for Multis for 360 fans..

[Shane Kim]

hahaha after Gears 3 expect a strategy game based on the Gears universe.

[xwabbit]

Holy crap so many good games

[psthreee]

jak4 cant wait and gow3 and killzone2 oh man

[djroberts]

I'm really hoping Infamous is good. I like the sandbox gameplay concept when it's not to repetitive.

[GamingGeekPS3360]

Be ready for 2009 the year of the CELL

[The-Truth]

Every year is the year of the PS3, when has that ever differed. Just gets better!

[ThatCanadianGuy]

My most wanted game in 09 is whatever Team ICO have been making..

Don't know what it is,don't care.It's guaranteed to be another classic.

[smurfie4]

Team Ico always delivers on their games. The titles im most excited about for 09 is killzone 2, and GOW3. Then again, the release date for GOW3 is undetermined currently.

[KrimsonKody]

I'm kind of excited about The GodFather 2. I had more fun with the first one than I had with GTAIV...IMO

[gersh]

Oh nevermind.

[ReBurn]

I bought more games for my PS3 this year than I did for my 360 or Wii. I hope that Nintendo, Sony and Microsoft all step it up in 2009.

[lawman1108]

Yeah, except for Sales,they lost Japan, games sales do not even come close........YEAH......." owned" ha-ha

[tatsujin]

2008 was the beginning for the ps3, and it was the year for the ps3. exclusive line up for 2008 anyone?

[tatotiburon]

and i can't forget this master piece

[Neo604]

there will be CHAOS!!!

[likedamaster]

This game I am looking forward to. I have and beat both 1 & 2 several times. This game is long overdue. They better deliver when they say they will. And deliver visuals like they promise because I know the story will be just as good as the 1st two titles. Honestly, I really don't care...just give me a current gen God of War and I'm happy -- the story is that compelling!

Anyone remember in the end where Kratos is going after Zeus (back through time) with the Titans on his side to finish him off???? EPIC.

Xbox users are in denial that their console is obsolete.

They cling to achievements/online friends and the glory of a year old game (hhaaalloo)

Like give me a break, just let others have their console...why so much hate? and downplay.

[ReBurn]

The last sentence of your comment doesn't match the first two. Why don't you let Xbox 360 owners have their console? Why are you showing so much hate? Why the downplay?

All of the current consoles are still very much viable systems.

[Lets-Game]

i cant wait for twisted metal. i think thats my most anticipistidridiviated game next year, but its not confirmed so makes me sad.

[likedamaster]

I spent waaay too many hours on those games. My mom threatened to trash 'em if I didn't stop. Those were good times.

[t_tocs]

I'm really really really excited about Infamous. Every since I read Game Informers write up on it a couple months ago it's been one of my top highly anticipated games. Dare I say it, even more than Killzone 2.

[CheesePie]

Cant wait for MAG. Looks awsome!

[whatis]

So it's official now is it? 2008 was a failure for the PS3.

Well 2009 is probably going to kill me then because here I was thinking that 2008 has been a frickin terrific year so far for the PS3 and for video games in general.

If you ask me I would have to say that 2008 is probably the second best year I've ever had playing video games and I've been at it a fair while.

[Sackdude]

2008 is the year of the Playstation 3, just look at he PS3 line up this year (2008)

but 2009 we will have to wait see.

[likedamaster]

Wow. It's not about gaming/games anymore. It's about who wins the console war and when. Sad really.
