Showcase: The best PS3 exclusives yet to come

PSU reports: "With the UK launch of PlayStation 3 just around the corner, let's take a look at some of the biggest upcoming PS3 exclusive games we expect to see this year. While we're at it, we present an at-a-glance list of the confirmed PS3-exclusive games and a shortlist of the titles rumoured to be in development."

[HaKeRsCanRotINHEL]

But the looooooonnnnnggggggggg waits gotta be kill'en ya! :~b

[kamakazi]

much like GEARS of WAR had 360 owners waiting for soooooooooooooooo looooooooooooooooooonnnnnngggg gggggggg.

[gnothe1]

to do with GOW!! this is about PS3 exclusives not MS or GEARS so stick to the topic!!

[Bathyj]

Pretty pointless story. Except to tell us what we already know. There are plenty of good games coming out this year, and next year. The next couple years are going to be so much fun for gamers if we can all tone down the complaining abit. Its not due til next year but I'd put LittleBigPlanet right at the top of that most wanted list. BEST GRAPHICS EVER !!!

[marionz]

but...it does look cool, and the physics are sweet

[ben hates you]

except killzone 3 and that would be like 3 4 years from now since killzone 2 isn't even out

[th0r XV]

PS3's exclusives look pretty weak in my book, besides FFXIIIIVMXIZ and MGS4

[wildcat]

That game won't be out for a crazy long time.

[lilwingman]

Though the wait for some of these games is likely to be a long, long, long time, the list still looks fanastic across all fronts. Pretty well all genres are getting some love, and that diversity is great to see. I've never looked forward to a game console's potential more than I am right now. And personally, I have time to buy and play through one game every month or two, so as long as there is a fairly steady stream of decent titles being released on a monthly (or bi-monthly basis)than I will be more than happy.

[tomfoolery]

own it's own with it's fans and a lot of gamers this generation.....
when the price drops(irrelevant as it may be or seem to some),and that
nice list of games comes rolling along.
Until then,the 360 will dominate.
Possibly,continue to do so till the next system war!

[MySwordIsHeavenly]

The 360 isn't doin' crap. None of the three platforms are "owning" like the DS or PS2 did/are. Software sales are pretty close this week...and actual systems are evening out. Home will set the PS3 apart...unless MS decides to use "something similar" like the new 360. It's black, has a bigger harddrive, wireless capabilities, and HDMI output. That sounds like some OTHER system that I already bought and love...interesting.

[sevenout]

The Wii is sold out everywhere and has SOLD 5.3 Million. Not "shipped to stores" crapola. The Wii is smoking right now, even with lackluster titles (aside from Zelda). Don't also forget Nintendo is making a pretty huge profit from the start on the system sales, which margins have must have improved as they have sold 5 million units. This is not a Pro-Wii rant, I don't even own a Wii (yet), I own a PS3 and a 360 and I am getting tired of these "Just you wait till 2010!!! The PS3 will RAWK!!!" posts from news sources.

All of these "killer" games for the PS3 still have vague release dates, most of them are NOT coming out this most critical year. Halo 3 IS coming out this year and the 360 will drop it's price. Sony will have to come up with more than just ONE game that is absolutely spectacular AND drop their price to compete with the 360, let alone the sales they lose (or really never had) from Wii buyers.

[JasonPC360PS3Wii]

Kinda reminds me of guys with small penises you can almost see the guys stretching it out to make it look bigger. (Just a joke)

[techie]

It's amusing because the list misses a hell of a lot. You just have to go to Wiki to have a look at the exclusives. There's quite a lot.

lol Ok go and look on IGN...I just chose Wiki for a source of people who group together and put on confirmed ps3 exclusives. They actually have less listed than IGN...so take your pic OldSchoolGamer.

ps. I have often sourced from Wikipedia for my assignments, and my marks are not poor.

[OldSchoolGamer]

Please don't ever reference wiki as any kind of reliable source of information. Thank you and have a nice day.

[OldSchoolGamer]

but post something explaining the expertise sources for Wiki? Is there academic checking I'm unaware of? Is there a month long conference for each submitted item? Can you reference Wiki information for a doctoral dissertation? Didn't think so!

[tomfoolery]

The 360 is doing extremely well.(10 mill plus)
Just like your PS3 is beginning to do also.
Bro......you need to get off your hatred towards other consoles
and realize that we're all hobbyist engaging in digital video pleasures.
Abandon your Sonyonly mentality.

You'll be a better and happier gamer for it.

Peace

[peksi]

but considering the fact that Sony does not seem to have a habit of buying exclusives, I'd cool off a bit with the word 'exclusive'. I don't like exclusives anyways, better to have games for the whole community.

[DeadlyFire]

[OldSchoolGamer]

Will be much joy from gaming in the next few years!

[Lucidmantra]

really... And when are you waking up... alot of those games are NOT coming out in 2007 and if they did they would be horrible. Part of getting good quality games is letting them marinate in the development cycle and get worked into a fine piece of gaming. Not just throwing any old p-iece of garbage out there with a familiar name (ARE YOU LISTENING EA!!) I am not against PS3 getting those titles. I am against hmmm shortsighted PS3fanbois who don't realize you know what.... if you get it now is that more important then it being AS GOOD as it should be?? STOP worrying about when... you have a PS3 it just came out... you are not going to get your amazing games for a year... Because SMART devs take that time to play with the dev kits, test, streamline and improve. YES, motorstorm is a turn in the right direction for the PS3. Will we remember Motorstorm in 3 years... I doubt it... How many of you out there still play ATV off-road fury?

Hell I haven't even heard a word about Assassins Creed and PS3 and XBox fanz0rz were all over that game argueing about it. Now it doesn't even make your silly little list...

GOW3... DIdn't 2 just launch a month or 2 ago? 2008 at earliest.

I don't even weant to go into the fact you are a severe Squaresoft fan and went ahead and marked all their franchises up for a sequel for them. I havn't heard a peep out of them in awhile about ANY of those franchises except FF.

Love the enthusiasm... Just have to say it is a little to much. Yes I saw these for the Xbox also (themart doing alot of it I have to say..) But whos to say alot of those wont be available for the 360 or the Wii also (in some form or other.)

[ASSASSYN 36o]

Look at those brand new...wait...these are the same games you ps3 nuts have been waiting for since launch. I bet the developers are thinking lets make them for the 360 also so we can MAKE money on our games!

[Karibu]

since launch, wait a minute it's not launched here yet!!!!
Kinda makes your argument pointles. And thats not the way developers think, if they did we'd still playing NES.

[JasonPC360PS3Wii]

"I bet the developers are thinking lets make them for the 360 also so we can MAKE money on our games!" many devs are past thinking it, there doing it look at all the lost excusives for the PS3.

[techie]

Well indeed, but lets not get this wrong. Saints Row, Enchanted Arms...and for stats many lists for the 360 list Call of Duty 2, Ridge Racer 6...when clearly the ps3 got the sequel

[donscrillinger]

SUCKS!

[Sphinx]

...that I wouldn't mind playing, but so many that are sequels to tired (for me, it's cool if you still like them) games. Kingdom Hearts? Bored after the first 4 hours. MGS4? I hope it is better than MGS3. FF13? Bleh, I want something new, or something like FF6... too much like watching a movie for me. GoW3? I've never been into games like this, I got bored with Prince of Persia games. I could go on and on... but I do have to say Lair looks cool, so does a new SOCOM, and especially LBP.

[techie]

These are the games that I would like to play out of the exclusives on the ps3.

DMC4 (if it gets decent reviews)
8 days
MGS4 (better than MGS3!? I hope so too...because then it could have an average higher than 93% - gamerankings.)
Final Fantasy xiii (if it gets decent reviews - ffx2 has 93% average)
Heavenly Sword
Lair
Killzone 2
L.A.Noire (looks very aesthetically pleasing)
LBP for sure
Motorstorm
Ratchet and Clank (Ratchet games get 90% averages)
Resistence (so I can kill aliens in my home town)
Uncharted
The Getaway 3
Prob stick with Tekken 5
Kingdom Hearts? Seem to be getting good reviews...don't know if it's my thing
fl0w
White Knite Story (depending on reviews)
And of course GOW3 - unlike Sphinx these are my type of games...love Prince of Persia etc.
So I'm also excited about Ninja Gaiden Sigma - I'm sad to have missed it's xbox incarnations.

And anybody looked on IGN and seen all the TBA Sony projects to be released in 2007? They like hiding them the bast*rds!
Oh and Jak and Daxter: The Lost Frontier has been registered by Sony - so Jak is coming, Factor 5 have another project apart from Lair to be announced for release in 2007...wonder what that is?
There's two online MMO's - one a "wimsical one" and the other a "mercenaries one" - integrated into HOME perhaps? Wait for E3 I suppose

Not really a fan of FPS.

But does anyone know anything about WarDevil Enigma? I just read it's been cancelled from the 360 and is a ps3 exclusive...but what the hell is it!?

[Master of Menace]

What about Afrika? That could be a wild card up Sony's sleeve. It could be a game the casual gamers might really go nuts over. I don't know much about it yet. It's due out in June isn't it?

[the_bebop]

You haven't played Kingdom Hearts yet, you don't know what you are missing out on you should pick up the original game its cheap to buy so there really is not an Issue or an excuse for you not to.

[techie]

LOL...maybe but when I finish uni I want to play God of War 2 and Tomb Raider...

[the_bebop]

Same here, expcet for the fact that I have differnt games, however you should relly pick up KH it really is a good game.

[StrboyM]

Really really good, Im a proud ps3 owner, but dont forget nintendo and M$ arent laying around waiting for sonys bombs to drop. they will have great games as well. im happy that {i think} the ps3 will gain much ground as its offerings appeal to me a lot more.

[DiLeCtioN]

when is the new hd camera coming out and the card game?

[hyphymaniac]

this is a little off topic but what ever happened to wardevil????

[techie]

Just had a look on the site. It says that they have started work on the ps3...and that it is only set for the ps3. It's still 1080p (which was a big thing when they announced it like 4 or 5 years ago)...they are making a movie as well as the game...And it's meant to come out 2008 I think...

[chitown]

i cant wait for killzone 2

[THAMMER1]

$600.00 in 2007 with no games or Wait until 2010 when you can get a PS3 for $250.00 with 30 games?

[lilwingman]

I'll take it in 2007 with 5 or 6 killer titles :)

[THAMMER1]

Heavenly Sword, MGS4, then what.......................... ............................... ..........................2008?

[techie]

DMC4 (if it gets decent reviews)
MGS4 (better than MGS3!? I hope so too...because then it could have an average higher than 93% - gamerankings.)
Heavenly Sword
Lair
L.A.Noire (looks very aesthetically pleasing)
LBP for sure (demo this fall)
Motorstorm
Ratchet and Clank (Ratchet games get 90% averages)
Resistence (so I can kill aliens in my home town)
Uncharted
Prob stick with Tekken 5
fl0w
Ninja Gaiden Sigma - I'm sad to have missed it's xbox incarnations.

ANd of course for some they will want cross platform titles - the ps3 doesn't just play exclusives.

Ps. I can't believe I said "fall" uh, Autumn

[NoUseMerc]

I cant wait for most PS3 exclusives that are coming out. 2 days 2 Vegas being one of them

[Lucidmantra]

Is that game even still in development?? It has dropped so far on the radar it has got to be close to 6 feet under and buried. Let me know if it isn't...

[timmyp53]

some great games coming out for the ps3 and the xbox will have theirs too!

[Contra26]

if PS3 fans love their PS3 so much. and tehy claim all these things..
I'd jst like to say...
Your all idiots and deserve to die.

You should have bought the PS3 when it's a proven system.
till then. It's a hunk of junk that can't do much but just hope and hope and hope and hope an hope........and hope and hope.....and a littlemore hope....

I would buy the PS3.. when it's worth it.
Sorry. But I'm not an idiot who buy's a system that is full of holes and empty promises.

Stick to your 360.

PS3 will turn out like PSP.
died because it deserves to.
may have extra features. but it doesnt deliver the experience.

I JUST LOVE KILLIN YOU (stupid)PS3 OWNERS.
LOL

[360RULA]

t ps3 sucks sony sucks killzone sucks ff sucks the sixaxiasisiss controller sucks ........ just kidding but the controller really does suck and ps3 for being so arrogant

[JasonPC360PS3Wii]

When I was thinking or PS3 exclusives lost the titles that popped up in my mind were more like this.

Unreal Tournament 3
Resident Evil 5
Grand Theft Auto IV
Guitar Hero II
Virtua Tennis 3
Virtua Fighter 5
Assassin's Creed
Armored Core 4
Fatal Inertia
Bladestorm: The Hundred Years' War

A lot of those you mentioned were mostly because the 360 was out a year earler.
