PS3 Lineup For '09 Was Too Good To Be True

"In case you didn't read my article from two months ago called "PS3's Lineup for '09 Too Good To Be True?", check it out as this article will pretty much be an E3 checkpoint explaining how thankful my wallet will be for 2009.

[Why dis]

You always have to wait for Sony to show their cards in the presence of the world media around mid year. You can't go by the forced cheerleading that starts off every year. GT5 not in 2009. A sugar coated 2009 lineup for PS3 in the end. I'm getting Uncharted 2 can't wait.

[You Already Know]

well, I think it should be obvious at this point that about 50% of the games slated for release in each year actually live up to their release date....while the other 50% get pushed off into the following year..

other than god of war 3 and FFXIII, there are a few shockers that caught me off guard that were pushed off into 2010 at this point...

[mario2man]

why are you here this is a PS3 artical you are a xbox fanboy go in the xbox area or go play your amazing 360 please

[Why dis]

Its human nature to cheer for underdogs thats why after every holiday the media actually creates these myths, I don't just blame Sony only fans.

[mario2man]

please please please go away go talk about how awesome microsoft is in the 360 area please

[mario2man]

why am i getting disagrees i just asked the 360 fanboy to leave nicely because this is a ps3 article. How can you disagree to that. please tell me

[xabmol]

Did someone hijack Why dis's account? Or did he pull a "Giant Enemy Crab" and finally buy a PS3?

Are you neutral now Why dis? Has your PS3 trolling finally come to an end?

[mario2man]

This is getting ridiculous cant you at least respond to me in words and no the disagree button what are you guys cowards

[Pistolero]

Sony tend to announce many of their games so far in advance that their lineup is always deceptive and gives the illusion of being bigger than it really is. When you look at the games that actually come out within a certain time frame the ps3 and 360 are usually pretty even...although I would say that I think the 360 actually has a better lineup for the rest of the year.

[n4gno]

But finally, even with some games not released, since 2 years there is more great titles on Ps3 : 2009 even more.

funny MS blogs and fans.

[mario2man]

you know what i give up. disagree as much as you want. I hope you feel good inside.

[chrisnick]

How many AAA's have we had this year so far? and how many more are coming? come on ppl, I can honestly say that as of June 2008 I've had too many ps3 games (especially through the fall) to play. i don't mind them pushing some back, it gives me time to play all, and its alot of a hell easier on my wallet, not to mention the games are by far the most polished i've ever seen.

[Kleptic]

haha why dis...cheer for the underdogs?...gtfo...

why do you think the media starts hyping up sony's stuff before they even announced it...and why its completely acceptable when MS goes from having not ONE announced game for the year...to just a few...and then seeing 'they are back in it now' plastered everywhere...

Sony is no underdog...and because of that...they have had the roughest generation so far of any other console...some of that is their fault...some of it isn't...but when a company selling upwards of 300 million units of hardware has a slow start to a generation, they are hardly the little guy...

ask almost any person on earth what a "playstation" is...and chances are you will get some sort of understanding as to what its related to in return...ask them what an Xbox is...and you'll get a blank face and awkward 'what you are you talking about'...just because MS has managed to stay about 7 million units ahead...in a race to 100+ million...does not an underdog make...

[TheBand1t]

Why Dis should be allowed to post in any article he wants provided it's in the Open Zone.

[RememberThe357]

All we knew was that Uncharted 2, R&CF2, and MAG were coming out for the holiday. everything else was speculation from the fans. Most of the talk of GoW3 and GT5 coming out in 2009 was just wishful thinking. But I have to say that WKC not coming out this holiday was really disappointing.

Over all the PS3's line-up is still slightly better then the competition and that is including multi-plats and exclusives.

[ZuperAmazingCooKie]

"You can't go by the forced cheerleading that starts off every year"

As opposed to the non-forced, somehow involuntary cheerleading? You get dumber by the second.

Oh, and lol, you're not getting uncharted 2 because you have no PS3.

@Pistolero below:

You know what's the biggest hypocrisy of them all? Pretending that it doesn't go both ways. *rolls eyes*

Edit:

@Why dis below:

I'm tired of you not knowing anything about the english language except the word "forced". You're evidently lacking in education as you keep using the same words over and over, get a college degree, inbred.

And LOL @ disagrees.

[Pistolero]

It's hypocritical the way many ps3 loyalists self righteously complain about 360 fans in a ps3 article but yet there they are in every 360 article writing their typical anti-360 drivel....at least most 360 fans will stick to points that are at least a little bit sensible...unlike the utter nonsense many ps3 fans write.

[mario2man]

Ban me I respect your opinion but i just find it stupid to go into articles about something you hate and make everyone who likes said thing know about it. Im not a fan of the 360 so i dont go into the 360 sections and make everyone know about it.

[TheBand1t]

And it's exceptionally hypocritical the way Xbox fanboys complain about PS3 fanboys in Xbox articles yet do a 180 and troll Sony articles.

Don't play one side as a Saint when neither is as good as the other.

[TheHater]

I am guessing you was not here in 2006/2007? I am just going to leave it at that.

[Why dis]

SDF commence... Why can't you guys admit Sony fools the industry ever year and the media and fanboys sustain these forced perceptions.

Ok resume the personal attacks.

EDIT:

@Pistolero - 1.24 Good comment.

PSN ID: whydis1

[poopsack]

oh noes evil evil sony.

[Saigon]

do you realize, when sony gives game release information its always in regards to their fiscal year...even though GOW3 comes out in 2010 it still goes in sony's pockets as the end of fiscal year 2009...

Plus sony did not sugar coat their 2009 release so far weve had 5-6 AAA exclusive release world wide so far...and at the end of this year we will see more exclusives each month until April 2010 (don't know what is coming that month)...

[Pistolero]

@thehater

No, I wasn't around here back then...I am just going off what I have seen since I have been visiting this site. I think Why dis made a reasonable point about Sony showing their cards early...and I don't get why some people think if a person prefers one console that they don't have the other console. Many of us nowadays have two consoles and even if we favor one we still have a right to comment about things pertaining to the other one.

[hamburgerhill]

"Im not a fan of the 360 so i dont go into the 360 sections and make everyone know about it."

It's ok not to like the 360, but what's wrong with liking it's games? Why do I get the impression your taking this stuff way to personal? Your sitting up here calling Why Dis a fanboy, and then you turn around and denounce anything just because it's on 360. That's not a gamer my friend,and it actually puts you in the fanboy category. Why dis who clearly said "I'm getting Uncharted 2 can't wait" does not or did not sound like a fanboy. Take easy people seriously. Why can't we all be able to respond to one another in a mature sensible manner instead this vendetta stuff?

Edit below: @ hater
Well That's good you get to experience everything unlike most of the people on this site. Thanks for the reply bubbles

[TheHater]

I am also guessing neither of you guys know Why Dis history?

@hamburgerhill
I did at one point this console generation own the Nintendo Wii, Sony PS3 and MS Xbox 360. However, I sold me Wii and as of now I only own an Xbox 360 and Playstation 3. I get to experience gaming from both side and enjoy it.

[Death]

Let's say that all Xbox fans are removed from this discussion. What exactly would the comments look like? Would the PS3 fans rejoice knowing less big name games will be released this year? I would think atleast a few of them would express some form of disappointment. Would they be cast out as Xbox fans for voicing their opinion if it was less than positive? I honestly don't get it. What is the reaction you guys are looking for to a news article like this?

-Death

[xwabbit]

This article is filled with 360 fan boys(multiple account disagrees) lol. Why this if sony fools people i dk what MS does lol, over hypes, rip offs' lies about games being 1080p, jasper fixing RROD which it didn't, talking about games which come how many years l8r ? If Sony is bad then MS is the devil lol. They one that makes Sony look bad is the media which over hypes everything

[JL]

"It's ok not to like the 360, but what's wrong with liking it's games?"

This is the perfect comment to sum up my beliefs on the whole "console war" thing really. I hate Microsoft, with a passion. And i'm not going to apologize for it even the slightest. Hell, i think if most people actually read up on them and remember their history, they should rightfully hate them too. But that aside, just because i hate MS and thus don't give a crap about xbox360 (because it's a MS product, and being such it's really just a big piece of crappy shoddy hardware), but i'm at least not blind enough to realize that some of the games on that side are good. That's the work of other developers, not MS (cause MS sucks at their job other than marketing). i think that's a big problem though: people can't separate the software from the hardware. MS sucks yes, but some of the developers who use the xbox as a medium for their work make good games and aren't as bad as MS in any way. i do say some though cause it seems several people who get wrapped up in the xbox and MS side of things soon start turning and follow suit with MS behavior and tactics **cough**Gabe Newell and Turn10**cough**

[MEsoJD]

Why do you people keep on encouraging Why Dis???

Just ignore him.

The guy obviously gets off on all the attention.

[ExgamerLegends2]

You can't just be saying fanboy dribble all the time and then just up and buy a PS3 and not expect people to be confused lol.

On Topic @1.3:

Has Sony ever entered a generation where they weren't the underdog? I remember the ps1 was met with a lot of doubts. Ps2 had to overcome dreamcast. Ps3 has to overcome 360 (and in some eyes the wii but i think it's pointless). It's like Sony LIKES to be doubted. And it would make sense cuz when they do finally beat the comp and overcome the odds its always seen as a major comeback.

[xTruthx]

Those are multiple accounts btw

[Death]

Nobody really thought they would make the impact that they did. Their second outing they had a 100 million plus fan base behind them. Their victory over the Dreamcast was won before the system even launched. Sega did not have the financial backing to even come close to cracking the Playstation fanbase. It's sad because the Dreamcast had an incredible library. By the time the Xbox and Gamecube launched it was an incredible uphill battle for second place with neither competitior making much of a dent in the Playstation 2's marketshare.

The underdog this generation was the Wii. People laughed at the specs of the Nintendo Revolution and knew it would fail. Peter Moore even promoted the Wii60 hoping to further slow down Sony's momentum. People are still calling the Wii a fad this late in the game which is more than funny. Sony did not enter this gen the underdog. They arrived late and designed and marketed a console that was very expensive to build and sell. Are they the underdog today? Yeah, but that was by design.

-Death

[hamburgerhill]

Spoken like a champ my friend. Developers have nothing to do with these big corporations other than trying to make a living. If people could get past the whole console of choice argument and get back to talking about games we would all get along just fine. There's just to many good games coming out this year then to worry about console wars people. From UC2 to Conviction there all great games on the way we should all be happy about.

[ExgamerLegends2]

I still say they entered as the underdog this gen. When the ps3 went on market it had to deal with the fact that it was highly expensive and that the 360 was taking over the market due to its year head start. Many people doubted it could succeed. The Wii wasn't the underdog to me cuz I still say they aren't competing with MS and Sony.

Edit: Oh and most of Sony's launch titles didn't get high scores. And the multiplats performed better on 360.

[JL]

very true. in fact, for me, i think the two games coming this year (that we know are coming) that appear like they'd be the most fun for me are Uncharted 2 and Conviction. unfortunately though i won't be playing Conviction (as i refuse to buy MS products to voice my opinion as a consumer), though i do think at some point down the line we'll be getting Conviction over on the PS3 side too. next year sometime. but yea those two looked to me like the two i'd most like to play that i know are coming this year. i won't fret over Conviction too much though being as how already there are more games coming just that i can play on PS3 alone than i have the time or money for. but yea, come on as much as i hate (and i tell you i LOATHE microsoft) at least i can give those developers their props. Mass Effect2 will probably be good, and one of the handful i'd really like from that side. i'd love to get on some Conviction. and while Turn 10 is starting to get too big for their pants and starting to garner my hatred, their game does look pretty good as far as gameplay and all (though i'm starting to think i'd never buy it even if i had an xbox, just for the fact of their attitude as of late). just like on the PS side has UC2, R&C:ACIT, Demon's Souls, GOW3, etc etc.

[XDF]

you said "Why Dis should be allowed to post in any article he wants provided it's in the Open Zone. "

LOL, tell that to Morganfail, CaseyRyback, and the millions upon millons of PS3 fanboys on x360 related articles..

Hmmmm......I think your recent post disagree with you.

[Traveler]

Hmm well, the PS3's exclusive lineup isn't quite as good as I was expecting, but I am still happy with it.

[Omegasyde]

Lineup's are estimates not really intended for gamers but to boost stockholder and stakeholder's confidence.

Microsoft,Sony, and Nintendo are all guilty of having games get past release dates.

I was really looking forward to Gran Tourismo 5, however its a half truth of it actually coming out in 2009 (Japan Only).

[JasonPC360PS3Wii]

Sony has done this every year since the PS3 launch, and then at the end of the year it ends up going to the 360 and Wii. This year is the exact same as the last two, promises at the begining of the year and delays at the end of the year.

[SaberEdge]

I've learned to take reported PS3 lineups with a grain of salt. Most of the time they are overinflated with a bunch of games that won't see the light of day for quite a while.

I prefer Microsoft's approach of announcing games closer to their release dates so that there is still an element of surprise and gamers can be more confident that the games will actually make their release dates.

[IdleLeeSiuLung]

Sony has a history of showing their cards way too early. This might have helped them in the Dreamcast days and to slow down the initial 360 momentum, but as soon as it was clear that Sony was charging $600 for the PS3 when it was released the 360 took off in sales.

My issue with Sony is these early promises that just continues to be promises for a long time. By the time it actually releases, the damn hype has died and I'm not that excited to get the game anymore. The only exception was KZ2, which I didn't remember the fact that they released a CGI trailer years earlier. Ironically, if I did I probably wouldn't have bought the game.

So I recon releasing information too early can slow down the momentum of the competitor, but will potentially kill your own sales.

[mario2man]

you know what screw this site. This site was suposed to be about friendly debate/conversations no full fledge war. I am never coming back here ever. I hope ever single fanboy is happy for ruining another good site for me.

[Chuk_Chuk]

why is the filter not working

[SuperM]

"The prior article was pretty much going over how every year Sony lists about eight or nine AAA titles at the beginning of each year, only to end up releasing about three or four of them."

Hey if you are gonna brag about how your predictions came true they better atleast be true.

Killzone2, Infamous, MLB09, MAG, Uncharted 2, R&C, Demon Souls. I count 7. I thought you said 3 or 4? Oh i guess you were wrong all along then smartass.

[Marquis_de_Sade]

Chrisnick, if we go by N4G protocol and assume metacritic of 90+ = "AAA", that's one "AAA" game on the PS3, the great Killzone 2 of course. With God of War 3 and GT5 both seemingly set to hit stores in 2010 now, the PS3 and 360 line ups for the remainder of the year are more or less even.

[Syronicus]

That nearly half od the Sony 2009 lineup was pushed to 2010. Now we can actually afford all the games at release rather than having to pick only the ones we can afford. I would rather have half the lineup of Sony games than nothing at all...

And to the user that said:

"I prefer Microsoft's approach of announcing games closer to their release dates so that there is still an element of surprise and gamers can be more confident that the games will actually make their release dates."

Alan Wake says hi. Sorry, but both companies do this for the hype, especially since Halo: ODST was announced last year and is not scheduled for release until this fall... Yeah, that was announced right around release... NOT!

Fanboys need to quit this silly arguing, especially if you haven't got your facts right. What kind of world would this be if the fanboys would simply agree to be fans of games and not fans of consoles? I can only dream...

[Naucious]

I read almost everyones comments some of them funny and some made valid points,.....

people are going to be people wether they are fanboys are not, and they are entitled to their own opinnion after all its their own thoughts about the articles they read, or else whats the point of even having a comment section.

So just like i do, it should go for the same as everyone else, that not everyone is going to agree wit you and they are not entitled to give there reason why, after all I am not your father and nether are you but i guess as a respect level it would be nice but we cant expect everyone to be on the same page, even i am victim of this but back on subject....

Sony has made some claims 09' from what ive counted they were wrong on 4, GOW3, Heavy rain, FF13, and WKC, WKC and HR was the only shocker for me, everything else was delivered so "IN MY OPINNION" Sony delivered "FOR ME".

[Uzesgelen_Goo]

that peoples are multiconsole owners.unlike xbox only owner.
but i agree there is many amatur PS3 fanboys visting and talking nonsense in xbox articles but same time xbox owners are keep flaming and talking trash in ps3 articles too so don't be jackass dude....fact is fact you can't change it (even you died world will never change)...

[terrandragon]

Why Dis got a PS3? Funny, I'm getting a PS3 too.

[Light Yagami]

So much for 2009 year of PS3.

[eagle21]

Even titles like Demon Souls (Eurogamer 9/10) are still releasing plus Ninja Gaiden Sigma 2 in 2009. I didn't know those two were coming till early this year. And my anticipation for God of War III is always in March and will be huge for buyers this fall knowing it hits March. White Knight is January when I still have holiday games unopened so it's fine. Bioshock 2 is coming day and date with 360 after many xbox fans swore it wouldn`t in 09'. :)

[u got owned]

Funny how PS3 fans mention NG2 sigma part of their line up when X360 had that game already, because you guys know is the same game with some extra features, right?

On topic, Sony has a great 2009 line up if you include the ones already released (K2 and Infamous).

[n4f]

please please shut the f*ckup
this is those comment that useally put oil on flamebait
i got the right to post on a comment if i want to if that bother then take ur fanboy heart to the open zone
this is the type of fanboy i hate

[DaTruth]

Why did 360 fans get to list NG2 as exclusive? NG2 sigma will at least have something the 360 version doesn't have.... that you don't have to pay extra for! By your logic 360 has no exclusives every year!

@Whydis:L Do you have as many PSN accounts as you have multiple N4G accounts...?

[u got owned]

@ DaTruth

I was making a comment based on "eagle21" comment, because it's funny how the PS3 fans downplayed NG2 on X360 and now because is on their console of choice and have some added features they're proclaiming the game as a AAA tittle.

Personally i could careless about exclusives since I have both consoles and i enjoy both. BTW i have NG2 for X360 and is an awesome game.

[cherrypie]

2008!1! Year of PS3!1! Oh no? Darn.
2009!1! Year of PS3!1! Oh no? Darn.
2010!1! Year of PS3!1! You guess.

[PirateThom]

Considering Sony already released Killzone 2, MLB 09: The Show and inFamous this year with Uncharted 2, MAG and Ninja Gaiden Sigma 2 Ratchet and Clank guaranteed to come in 2009, I don't think Sony did too badly. The only game that didn't make 2009, that I thought would, was Heavy Rain.

[You Already Know]

oh, the lineup is and will definitely be strong...but one of the games I thought would make 09 was White Knight Chronicles....and many people were sold on God of War III being released in 2009...

as a PS3 owner...I am more than happy with the lineup, but out of the 9 games mentioned, it appears that 5 of them won't make it this year...

[PLAYSTATIONGENRATION]

All god of war games come out in march.

[Anon1974]

I've still got games from Christmas on the PS3 I haven't had a chance to play yet, but I can't seem to tear myself away from Infamous at the moment.

My 360, on the other hand, hasn't been switched on since I finished Fable 2. Probably won't be played on until Alan Wake. I though E3 was were Microsoft was supposed to unveil their 2009 lineup we'd been waiting for. I'm still waiting, and guess what? It ain't for an overpriced 4 hour Halo expansion. MS let me down this year.

[ZuperAmazingCooKie]

Afrika is coming too

[Serg]

Regarding God of War:

Quote Wikipedia:

"The name of March comes from ancient Rome, when March was the first month of the year and named Martius after Mars, the Roman god of war."

The God of War series are based on greek mythology/history but since Ares has no month, they had to go with the month of the Roman god of war.

Knowing that you could predict that it would be released in March, even if you didn't know that, going by the first 2 games of the series, which both were released in March, you could tell the third game will follow.

Regarding the other titles. I can barely find the time to play the games I already own, and the coming months bring more great games that are just too good to miss out on. Honestly? I am relieved they pushed the titles further away, I can handle waiting some more, playing Resistance 2 MP, Killzone 2 MP, inFamous, Uncharted 2, maybe M.A.G., that game alone would take up a lot of time if I would buy it, not sure yet. Ratchet and Clank Future 2. How can a PS3 owner complain about this? I am sure a lot of people are waiting for White Knight Chronicles or Heavy Rain or God of War or Gran Turismo, doesn't mean you can't enjoy what has and will be served in the near future while waiting for that must have game of yours.

[Omegasyde]

GJ Serg. Hopefully that question will come up when I go on Jeopardy! .

[Marquis_de_Sade]

Afrika? Oh please, is that the next game to be tossed mercilessly onto the fanboy hype train?

[Uzesgelen_Goo]

*Demon's Soul* it's in october (-^_^-)

[ZuperAmazingCooKie]

Afrika IS coming, how is that throwing it into the hype train? It's another game, period.

Oh, and there's Eyepet too.

[Light Yagami]

Eyepet? Afrika? Lol! How sad.

[Persistantthug]

Whether you like or buy the game personally, it promises to display some very nice visuals and deliver good family fun. I know most of us like "hardcore" stuff, but there's room for a title like this.

I'm glad it will be available.

[DaTruth]

Some of us here have children, you know! Playing LBP with my stepson is a blast! I'll hold on to that game for when my daughter is old enough!

[Marquis_de_Sade]

Don't get me wrong, Afrika looks interesting, but it doesn't deserve to be mentioned with MAG, R&C, Uncharted 2 etc.

[Stryfeno2]

Did the "Year of the PS3" postponed again?

[mario2man]

please go away from the ps3 sections with Why Dis you can talk about how the ps3 is dead in the 360 section please just go away

[Gue1]

The funny thing was jason360man or whatever is his name saying that bots don't troll in PS3 articles...

[mario2man]

wow 10 disagrees for asking a 360 fanboy to leave a 360 article. Bring them on how high can it go!

[mario2man]

ment ps3 article

[dustgavin]

Here you are again....still mad that Microsoft duped you into buying an Hd-dvd add on?

I understand you are mad that you cannot afford a Ps3.It is not our fault that you chose an inferior system. Go play your Halo map pack and let the rest of us enjoy the superior Ps3 exclusive titles.

[mxdan]

Why all the disagree's? Is someone creating multiple accounts again >_>.

Regardless, MGS4 > everything else

:P.

[badbond1]

I will be playing Uncharted 2 unlike you, which of course will be a GOTY for 2009. No other 360 game will win against that top of the line exclusive for the ps3. Oh, and if GT5 comes out around the same time that forza 3 comes out, forget about even trying to compare it to GT5!

In early 2010, what does the 360 have to compete against GOD of War III? Absolutely nothing! What will you have to say after March of 2010 when I am playing God of War and Heavy Rain, while you are playing Halo? You need to leave the arena little boy, before you get pounced!

[el zorro]

You PS3 fans and your arrogance. Forza 3 is strong competition for GT5, don't fool yourself. Uncharted 2 might get game of the year, because it looks like a great game, but there are a lot of really high quality exclusives on the 360 side, not to mention all the fantastic multi-platform games coming out this year.

What does the 360 have in early 2010 to compete with God of War III? Um, only two little games called Mass Effect 2 and Alan Wake. Sheesh, wake up.

[mxdan]

First of all, Mass Effect 2 makes me wish I had a 360, but it's no GoW... You can't rip heads off in mass effect lol. Nor can you in Alan Wake.

----

Forza 3 barely had 2 years of development. While Gran Turismo 5 has almost been in development for 4 years. This speaks volumes about each companies development philosophies.

Turn 10 is trying to push sales. Claiming things like "The definitive Racer." And bragging about how Polyphony was taking notes at their showcase.

Meanwhile Polyphony Digital is perfecting their craft. Being adults. Not bribing people to vote for them. And creating what will be nothing short of their previous games. They take their time on each car and track. Sony, has given them the ability and freedom to perfect their games and unlike Microsoft, they don't have a rush philosophy.

Whats funny is that forza 3 and prologue are almost equals. And prologue has been out for two years. GT5 will be far superior to Forza if you ask me. The creative direction proves it.

Plus from a content perspective... Gran Turismo PSP has more cars then Forza 3 lol... Gran Turismo 5 is supposed to have at least double that.

[el zorro]

What? Did you just say Forza 3 and GT5 Prologue are equals?

Nevermind, you are a lost cause.

[KingKionic]

Forza 3 will be amazing. Gt 5 might make it out this year.
You shouldn't discredit turn 10. They think they have made a pretty good game.

[The Master Chief]

Are you Droids seriously saying Uncharted 2 will be GOTY?

Keep talking droids, all you do is humiliate yourselves over and over and over.

Keep it up.

[JasonPC360PS3Wii]

Don't put words in my mouth Wiimaniac. They only thing I have ever said was that there are more Sony trolls in the 360 section than there are MS trolls in the PS3 section. If your going to try and call someone out, do some damn research so you don't end up looking so stupid.

[Kill Crow]

the driods dropped KZ2 as game of the year ..... lol .... I bet Uncharted doesn't even make it in 2009 ... watch this space :-)

Don't worry droids...Uncharted, Ratchet and MAG are still gonna destroy everything this holiday season!!

They're such massive, Epic franchises....nothing can compete.

Halo ODST = Pwned

Splinter Cell: Conviction = Pwned

Forza 3 = Pwned

Left 4 Dead 2 = Pwned

Shadow Complex = Pwned

Grand Theft Auto Expansion = Pwned

As a matter of fact....Ratchet and Uncharted are such ...OMG MASSIVE franchises that Mass Effect 2, Halo: Reach, Alan Wake, Gears of War 3 and Crackdown 2 will already be owned and might as well not release next year....they might get humiliated by Uncharted and Ratchets amazing sales numbers and ratings.

PS3 will win with these amazing games, like it always does.

Right droids? :)

[PirateThom]

Funny enough, there's only one game from Microsoft's epic list of 2009 ownage I plan on buying, Splinter Cell: Conviction... in fact, it will be the only 360 game I do buy this year DUE TO THE LACK OF DAMN GAMES!

[You Already Know]

Forza and Splinter Cell do look pretty good...but they don't really pertain to me since I don't own a 360...

...not by choice...I just don't have the funds ahaha...

BROKE GAMERS!

[All Time Greatness]

Thats only your problem Pirate Thom. I've already bought this year:

Resident Evil 5
Halo Wars
Star Ocean 4
GTA: Lost and Damned
Street Fighter 4
Red Faction Guerilla
Peggle

6 months ago:

Gears of War 2
Left 4 Dead
Fable 2
Infinite Undiscovery
Fallout 3
...and a few more I can't remember

and this holiday season:

Splinter Cell
Forza 3
Halo ODST
L4D2
Tony is Gay in GTA
....and much more

Just because you got Killzone 2(that no one bought), a baseball game, Infamous(which no one bought) and a bunch of inferior multiplatform games....doesn't mean Xbox 360 had no games. Xbox 360 has literally 300 more games to choose from than PS3.

Not being able to find games to play on Xbox 360 because PS3 got one 91% rated shooter and another 85% rated game is your problem only.

But we know you don't mean it.

[Gue1]

-Halo ODST looks like crap. It gonna fail on its own. lol

-Grand Theft Auto Expansion is not a game. When will bots understand that expansions aren't games?

-Left4Dead 2? What's that? A mod for L4D?

-Shadow Complex? I don't even know what's that...

Forza 3 and Conviction are the only games worth mention.

While you play those crappy unknown games Sony is cooking some amazing games that really use the PS3 strength and are real eXclusives. Uncharted 2 won most of the E3 awards from practically every site you can name of. A lot of sites are already nominating it as GOTY 2009 and the game is not even out yet. Sales? Who cares about sales? Give me scores instead. We'll see that very soon anyway. =)

Killzone 2 already proved which is the most powerful console! aka, the Playstation3.

[You Already Know]

I dunno...

that baseball game is the best that any console has to offer...and you can't judge Killzone 2's game quality based on the sales...

sales don't equal quality....that's like saying when a music artist has a record that goes platinum...it's a great record....

that's just ridiculous...

I won't say the 360 has no games...let alone begin drawing comparisons because both consoles are good...but you're trying to take a dump on quality titles because someone else took a dump on your favorite console..

lol@the disagree fairy...weee

[DNAgent]

Halo ODST = Basically DLC that is on a disc & is also now priced higher (when they said it wouldn't cost as much as a regular game). It's just Halo 3 with a new single player campaign as the multiplayer will be the same but with added maps (most which you've probably already payed for).

Splinter Cell: Conviction = Coming to PC (and likely PS3 after a few months with extras)

Forza 3 = Hey, you actually listed a real 360 exclusive that time. I'm much more interested in the superior GT5 though and I have GT5P to hold me until then. Need for Speed: Shift will beat Forza 3 for the year though.

Left 4 Dead 2 = Coming to PC (with mods, you know...The things that make you feel like you didn't get ripped off as much).

Shadow Complex = A glitchy XBLA game in 2D. No thanks. lol

Grand Theft Auto Expansion = I guess the 360 really doesn't have any games if you're listing even more DLC. I guess the last DLC & this new DLC really had their target audience in mind as both of the DLC packs are gay (literally) and i'm sure the people who enjoy them are too.

No need for me to list Uncharted 2, Ratchet & Clank, Ninja Gaiden Sigma 2, MAG, Demon's Souls, and Fat Princess (that's right. I put down a PSN downloadable exclusive out of the many that are coming this year even though I don't need it in this list to prove that the 360 has no games).

I'm also sure that you want to overlook the games that came out earlier this year such as Killzone 2 & Infamous (and don't worry, I still remember the 360's Ninja Blade as well lol). You can also import other AAA games like WKC & Yakuza 3 now if you wanted to. If FF13 comes out in Japan in 2009 then you can import that too (since most people will anyways).

[PirateThom]

Funny enough, I bought a lot more games than that. Doesn't change the fact the 360 had no games in 2009 and won't until the end of the year.

It's convient to forget the PS3 already had games in 2009 (should I point out 6 months ago was still 2009?), point out the metacritic scores of said games and then list games like Halo Wars (82), Star Ocean (72), Resident Evil 5 (85/86 - higher on PS3) and Red Faction Guerilla (85/86 - again, higher on PS3) which scores the same or lower, isn't it?

I'm not able to find games because, well, the 360, again, had nothing this year worth buying and I bought the last good 360 games when they were released, in 2008.

Do you see how this works?

[All Time Greatness]

Here's what Pirate Thom said:

"it will be the only 360 game I do buy this year DUE TO THE LACK OF DAMN GAMES! "

And here's what I say:

Xbox 360 has 641 games to choose from
http://www.metacritic.com/g...

PS3 has 348 games to choose from
http://www.metacritic.com/g...

It doesn't matter if your talking AAA, AA , 80%+ rated, 70%+ rated, DLC..........Xbox 360 has more.

I don't get what's so uneasy to comprehend about that... if you have a problem finding games on the console with DOUBLE the amount.....maybe you're just running your own little PS3-rules-the-world show. It's still not reality.

On top of it, of PS3's 348 games, they almost all run better on Xbox 360 with a better multiplayer Experience through Xbox Live. You choose not to pay, its your choice. I choose XBL.

[You Already Know]

maybe there just aren't enough games that he likes on the 360..

I personally chose the PS3 because i personally like more of the games for that console...

I didn't say "360 sucks pwnd facepalm etc etc!"....because I'd own both consoles if I had the time and funds to do so...

both consoles have really shined this generation and that's why these arguments get so heated...

if someone says the PS3 lineup sucks...I'm like...whatever it's a matter of preference, but I saw you hating on the PS3 pretty much because he hated on the 360...

...I say just let it go and enjoy the games..

I wrote this article because I wanted to recap a previous article that I did, plus to show gamers to temper their expectations for when they do the pissing contest about which console has more games than the other...

good stuff though...keep the responses coming ahaha..

[Pistolero]

Why does it not surprise me that PirateTom doesn't find the 360 lineup appealing?...um yeah, sure, big surprise there.

Regardless of your personal...ahem, fanboy taste...I think anybody can see that the 360 lineup includes more big hitters than the ps3 lineup. Uncharted is a great game and has made a name for itself and I think it will do pretty well, but games like MAG are not that impressive and I doubt they will do as well as some of the other big games.

I've already been enjoying Halo Wars and Star Ocean on the 360, not to mention I have a huge backlog of 360 games I haven't beat....so don't worry about us 360 owners having games to play.

[mxdan]

Nor is it the year of the 360...

It's the year of the gamer man ;).

[el zorro]

@wiimaniac

"Halo ODST looks like crap. It gonna fail on its own. lol"

Halo ODST is going to fail? Really? *smacks forehead*
When Halo ODST is as big as Halo 3 and has an all new "firefight" co-op mode and a ton of multi-player maps, forge, etc and is a new HALO game, how can anybody in their right mind think that Halo 3 ODST will be anything but a success?

-"Grand Theft Auto Expansion is not a game. When will bots understand that expansions aren't games?"

When a so called expansion is sold on disc at retail and can be played without having purchased GTA4 and is as long as most other games, then no, it is not an expansion in the normal sense of the word. More like a full game that just happens to be a side story to one of the most successful games this generation.

-"Left4Dead 2? What's that? A mod for L4D?"

You can pretend you haven't heard of it, but nevertheless the sequel to one of last years biggest games is indeed a big deal.

Your attempts at trying to downplay the 360's lineup have failed.

[food86]

that list of yours is good but wanna bet i can top that with my ps3 list alone? ill just let you know that I bought over 18 games for my ps3 last year alone and my library has over 52 games since i bought my ps3 xbox on the other hand only gets used for their exclusives. just because you don't like killzone or infamous and possibly only own a 360 doesn't mean ps3 doesn't have their good games and seriously ur going to play those 300 plus games that the xbox has over the ps3? even the kiddie ones? hey we gotta whore out our gamerscore right? btw most of those game don't make it to the ps3 because they belong on the ps2, seriously do some research man.

[SaberEdge]

Just the fact that you buy your multi-platform games for the PS3 makes me seriously doubt your judgment. Most multi-platform games I have compared look noticeably better on the 360. Anyway, it sounds like you are just finding reasons not to use your 360.

I own both consoles and I buy most of my multi-platform games for the 360, for obvious reasons. The 360 also tends to have more exclusives that interest me. But I do buy the good exclusives for the PS3, like Uncharted and MGS4. Needless to say, I have more games for my 360 than for my PS3.

A lot of the PS3 exclusives that PS3 fanboys hype up often end up disappointing me when I play them and find out they weren't as good as they were made out to be.

[da720izcumin]

i like what you did sir....
let the ps3 fanboys bathe in rage, since the 1st of june....
n4g has changed, the mass exodus of sony fanboys is just beginning, as they realized that the year of the ps3 was but a mirage. you see when the mind is desperate, it starts imagining things and distorting reality....
unfortunately, i know them well....they'll be back march 2010, yelling about GOW3 and year of the ps3 yet again...

[Forrest Gump]

I love it."Let's blame Sony for not meeting our fictional release dates".

[You Already Know]

who is blaming Sony?....it looks like you just read the snip and din't actually read the article itself...

...shame on you, ahaha...

but in all seriousness...there was rumors flying around from the developers themselves about these games and also check the section of the article about White Knight Chronicles and why that will be released 15 months after the Japanese release...

[DragonWarrior_4]

Sony's lineup this year is one of the best in gaming history. What are you guys talking about?

[KingKionic]

lol?

Even dremcast?

....

NAWWW.....

[RememberThe357]

Sony has Infamous, Heavy Rain, GT5, GoW3, Uncharted 2, R&CF2, WKC, MAG, and possibly The Agency or DC Universe.

That is pretty damn good on paper.

EDIT: My point was that the argument could be made. I don't think it's the best "ever", but it's definitely up there.

[KingKionic]

He/she said in

"history"

Nobody has the best lineup in history this year.

EDIT@below

They will be big and there in the spring. interesting...

[el zorro]

Well, if you want to go into the beginning of next year, the 360 has games like Mass Effect 2 and Alan Wake. Both of which will be huge.

[cmrbe]

In 2009 there are already 2 PS3 exclusives that are 90+ on Meta. By years end there should be another 1 or 2 added.

You guys better hope at least 1 x360/PC exclusive can get 90+ on meta this year lol!.

Edit: Konic. Thats just 1 game. PS3 already has 2. Uncharted 2 is a sure bet to get 90+.

[KingKionic]

Well forza 3 will.

EDIT @ ABOVE

Look at my below comment.

[Pistolero]

Forza 3 definitely will...but also Halo ODST, SC Conviction and L4D2...I could be wrong of course, but that is what I predict. I think Uncharted 2 will likely come in at above 90...but I don't know what else might be a sure bet on the ps3.

[swiftshot93]

not sure how Halo or L4D will turn out though.

For PS3 Ratchet and Clank Future 2 and Uncharted are pretty much guaranteed 90+ on meta.

Not that any of this really matters though.

[KingKionic]

Halo odst could get a 90 . halo 3 got 94

http://www.metacritic.com/g...

Splinter cell conviction can get over a 90. Splinter cell : double agent got a 89.

http://www.metacritic.com/g...
EDIT

Forza 3 is obviously will score higher

http://www.metacritic.com/g...
lol even left 4 dead 2 can get 90. it got 89 last time.

http://www.metacritic.com/g...

[RememberThe357]

And word is the Splinter Cell Conviction is a timed exclusive. Either way the game looks freakin great. They will both get scored above 90 on meta.

[Pistolero]

L4D2 is exclusive in the console realm...which is where 90% of the action happens.

[Death]

it doesn't need a near perfect score to be good. The PS2 owes it's success to it's vast library of unique and original games along with the mega hits that it had. It's nice to have triple A titles, but they do not replace variety when catering to a broad audience.

-Death

[el zorro]

Great comment, Death. I have been thinking about this subject a lot lately, with the way everybody goes on about AAA this, exclusive that. I'll be honest, one of the games I have been playing lately and enjoying the hell out of is Ninja Blade on the 360. I know it only got like a 79 or whatever on Metacritic, but I don't care, I love the game. So, I know what you mean about every game not having to be a AAA mega hit. Almost every game out there is going to appeal to someone.

[eagle21]

halo, l4d2, gay tony = DLC

PS3 has AAA full games. I want Ninja Gaiden Sigma 2 as well (another AAA) full game.

[The Lazy One]

9/10 of the people who mention the 360 are sony supporters yelling at "360 fans".

The 360 wasn't even mentioned in the first page of comments till mario and zuper brought it up.

[cmrbe]

Welcome to PS3 fans 2007.

[Arnon]

The Xbox 360 already has that.

@Above

Grand Theft Auto IV: The Lost & Damned - 90/100

[TheBand1t]

We've had inFamous, Killzone 2, MLB '09, and Uncharted 2, Ratchet and Clank: ACIT, M.A.G, Demon's Souls, some choicey multiplats and NGS2 are being released in the fall.

I don't think I'll lose much sleep over God of War III and WKC being pushed back to 2010.

[poopsack]

its no ones fault but those who assumed these titles would be out by 09, when were these titles really announced as a part of 09's lineup?

[RememberThe357]

They weren't. This is what happens when people make assumptions.

[II Necroplasm II]

blah blah blah blah blah

blah.

[Serg]

And bad ones, too. God of War 1 and 2 were released in March for a reason. March is the month of Mars, the Roman god of war. The games are based on greek mythology/history but Ares has no month so they settled for the month of the Roman god of war.

If an analyst/journalist can't even figure out that simple little detail before he makes some wild, baseless predictions he deserves to be kicked out of the club.

PS: Never trust someone with anal in the job title, just saying...

[KingKionic]

You guys are funny.

You guys are just taking these games and putting them to the side like there nothing...

I will say though for the multiplatform part...

This beats any previous year.

[infamous_27]

I think PSP may have the best lineup this year TBH.

[swiftshot93]

wow, I never thought I would. Good Job sony.

[Serg]

I think, Gran Turismo aside, one of the system seller titles for the PSP will be a third party game with a first party character.

Soul Calibur: Broken Destiny featuring Kratos? How freaking awesome is that? Still Namco Bandai deserves punishment for not including Kratos in Soul Calibur 4.

[Christopher]

Repeating what we already know from E3 while patting himself on the back for almost the obvious observations.

[You Already Know]

where did you see patting on the back?...

...a good portion of the article was showing what strength that a GT5 release for 2009 would have...

...what are you talking about???

[DevilsJoker]

I think hes on about the element of 'Look, i predicted this and i was right. HAA'

I know it never said anything like that, but its very nature suggests that its self congratulating.

[Christopher]

Yeah, I expected lots of disagrees, but the above poster did a good job of explaining the whole purpose of the article itself. It's okay if people don't like my acerbic responses to some articles that really shouldn't be included as news. N4G really needs an 'opinion' designation to put all of the random stuff that technically isn't news.

A few lines that stuck out as self-congragulatory:

"I’m not even going to brag about nailing this one on the head"

Then why did you just do that with the very sentence saying you wouldn't?

"Pretty much what I knew then, I know now"

In other words, I was right then and I'm still right.

[Kamikaze135]

With a crapload of PSOne games, PSN, Uncharted 2, and Demon's Souls, Ninja Gaiden Sigma 2, Ratchet and Clank, Afrika and Bioshock 2 coming out, I'm glad nothing else too big is coming out. Plus I own a 360 and I can't even imagine making time for it with that strong line up, lol.

Also, God of War III, Heavy Rain and Gran Turismo never had a solid release date. White Knight Chronicles was the only game to get pushed back, but that's because Level 5 are adding a town building feature and tons of other features.

[cmrbe]

just make crap up and try to downplay Sony's exclusive 2009 lineup.

For 6 months sofar they have no exclusive games to brag about and now suddenly they have a few good exclusive near the end of the year they suddenly have a better lineup? lamo!!.

As you trolls use to say back in 2007. Get back to me when an exclusive x360 game gets 90+ on Meta. Hey you guys said it. All x360 exclusives are flops sofar this year just like all PS3 games in 2007 right?.

[KingKionic]

Xbox 360 had dlc and games 6 months ago.

If you want to pick and choose whats best..go right a head. No ones denying If Kill zone 2 was good nor infamous or MLb .

[Halo3 MLG Pro]

Dude your complaining about what was said in 2007? It's time to let it go. It's not that serious dude. Your anger is still showing.

[Death]

The truth is the library is made up of all the games that have released since launch. The existing catalog looks very nice for new gamers of either console. If you are looking at the impact the upcoming games will have on console sales you are probably looking in the wrong direction. It is the value priced big name games in the back catalog that will interest gamers the most that are looking to feed their new console. If you are just looking for bragging rights by meta score, that is about as valid as bragging rights to monthly sales. Both consoles seem to sell about the same and have some great games in their libraries. Arguing either point is kind of moot.

-Death

[Neoraf]

No 360 titles for the past 6 months? What about:

- Star Ocean 4: The Last Hope
- Halo Wars
- GTA4: The Lost And Damned
- Ninja Blade
- Battlestations Pacific
- Fallout 3 DLC Chapters
- RacePro

All RETAIL TITLES AVAILABLE AT THE STORE TODAY! :)
Add to this (later THIS YEAR, yes... 2009!!!):

- Crackdown 2
- Splinter Cell Conviction
- Left 4 Dead 2
- Halo ODST
- Ninety-Nine Nights 2
- Shadow Complex
- Magna Carta 2
- Forza Motorsport 3

God it's good to be a 360 owner this year!!!
The strongest lineup of games.

[cmrbe]

I don't know what you are going on about dude.

You follow me everywhere and always say i am angry (when i am not lol!).

If you don't have anything to counter what i say then just don't reply.

Its not about letting go. What i am saying is that you x360 trolls are hyprocrites and you can't deny that.

@Above me: Yeah i also list amazing PS3 games just like you have done in 2007 but x360 trolls claim that they are flops because none of them scored 90+ on Meta. I am only returning the favour.

[Unicron]

I own a PC and PS3. I have over 25 titles I'm buying between now and March 2010. That's a ton of games.

[Halo3 MLG Pro]

Nice edit. A lot less fanboyish.

[Unicron]

I should have read the full article first. I learned a valuable lesson, 90% of the people here didn't.

[You Already Know]

considering I wrote the article....bubbles for that one..

too many people respond to articles based on the headline alone...some read the little clip shown on n4g.....and few actually read the articles...

[Kappa Mikey]

i agree with you

[zodiac909]

its called marketing strategy, so you always have something to look forward to.

[N2NOther]

Sony doesn't market their games. So much for strategy. Sorry but they've had some KILLER releases this year that weren't marketed well at all.

[HDgamer]

Did anyone bother to read the article instead of the title?

[xlx-russ_92]

who the fack is disaggreeing with ppl?

[Parapraxis]

I think a lot of ppl on here don't have anything to play.
I mean really, the disagrees on pro-sony peoples comments are in the double digits.
Its pretty pathetic.

[ultimolu]

Some people really have no lives whatsoever. I don't see what do they gain by disagreeing with one's comments.

[clintos59]

Im already enjoying infamous and valkyria chronicles. Not to mention I just downloaded 3 ps1 classic games (ff7, resident evil, and twisted metal 2) oh and cellfactor which for $9.99 is better and funner then UT3 in my opinion (just wish der were more ppl online so I can own lol) and then there is also killzone 2 and mlb 09 the show which i dont own yet but ill eventually grab them, then we still have games coming.
Ratchet & Clank
MAG
Demons Soul
Uncharted 2
I really think GT5 will be released this year, im betting at TGS they will announce this.
Ninja Gaiden Sigma 2 which I believe because the added content and online co-op and the controls seem to be fixed from the 360 version, it has a good chance of being AAA despite the bad reviews the 360 version had.

Then u add all the big multiplatform games like CODMW2, Bioshock 2, Madden 10, Tekken 6, Banoeta (sorry i know mispelled it lol) and many other games i may have not mentioned. To me that is more then enough games to hold u off for next year.

[clintos59]

Add games like Splinter Cell Conviction, and Mario Galaxy 2 and its just too many games for me to handle but I guess u can just say, "I get the best of all worlds" LOL. Game on.

Edit: Love the disagrees lol and I can bet its why dis and her crew of crybabies lol. Whatever makes u feel better, doesnt bother me since I love games and u and your crew love crying lol. Love to stay and debate wit u but like I said, I dont have time for lil kids. Chow.

[el zorro]

I already have Ninja Gaiden 2 on the 360 and it is an awesome game, I don't know what you are talking about. I have a PS3 as well and I am being completely honest when I say I would not buy Ninja Gaiden 2 again just for the few added features.

Uncharted 2 looks excellent, but MAG looks kind of questionable to me. It is online only and it hasn't impressed me so far. Demon Souls could be good, since I did really enjoy Ninja Blade on the 360 which is also made by From Software, but I need to see more.

So, as it stands now, I can honestly say that for the rest of the year there is only one game on the PS3 that I am sure that I want to buy. Nobody can deny that it hasn't been a major contraction from what we were expecting.

[Halo3 MLG Pro]

Have to agree with Ninja Gaiden 2. It was a fantastic game with great reviews. I don't know what Clinton is talking about the bad reviews. The majority gave it great reviews. From the last few screenshots I seen, they look the same. Adding coop doesn't interest me because it might make the game to easy. The only way that would work if they added a higher difficulty to the game. It seems that Ninja Gaiden 2 Sigma is kinda like extra DLC. I thought sony fans hate DLC? :/

[Darrius Cole]

Killzone 2, MLB: The Show, Infamous

+

Uncharted 2, Ratchet & Clank, Demon's Souls, MAG, Ninja Gaiden Sigma 2(playable Ayane for the crushing victory).

3 plus 5 is 8, PS3 is getting 8 exclusive AAA titles this year, and Tokyo Game Show hasn't even made it yet. So if we do indeed get a GT5 announcement that'll make 9. I don't have the money to buy all of that, nor do I have time to play it. Some of them had to be pushed back because they were going to cannibalize each other.

GOW III, WKC, and Heavy Rain could all make 2009 releases if they wanted, but why would they want to. Sony is going to release 8 or 9 AAA titles without those. Sony has enough titles to get all my money this year without those. Moreover, there are already 4 or 5 AAA exclusive set up for next 2010.

GOW III, WKC, Heavy Rain, FFXIV, already announced for 2010. Once the other games make in around 2010 is going to have even more AAA games then 2010.

[Freak of Nature]

I dont think GT5 will be coming this year.They are leaving it open for obvious reasons.But.........If it was,they would know at this time,and they would announce it proudly.Getting a rock solid release date would mean a major load of "pre-orders"...Thats a major extra for any triple A title. But I sure hope it releases...

PS3 games that are rock solid releases for this Fall/Holiday that are on my day 1 are Uncharted 2,Ratchet and Clank Acit,and demon souls....

For the X360 it will be Splinter cell conviction,Forza 3,and LFD2....ODST is on a "need to see more basis,as of now".....

The multiplats on my hot list are Assassins creed 2,Borderlands,Dead rising 2, MF2, possibly Dark void, and Brutal legend,I need to see more on these...

2010 is the year to really look for as best gaming ever....With games like Last guardian,Beyond good and evil 2,Rage,(GT5,unless they do come up with a late 09" release date).....GOW3, Kojima's MGSR,and Castlevania (if they do indeed come out in 10')...Brink,The next Halo,Gears,Allan wake....

[JD_Shadow]

And how many first party (i.e.: NOT MULTIPLATFORM, and PLEASE don't say Call of Duty 4, because that's NOT a 360 exclusive), full games have been released on the 360 yearly, and how many of the announced games for THAT system have we yet to see?

I rest my case.

(NOTE: Now watch a bunch of trolls start listing a bunch of 360 games no one has ever HEARD of or care about in response. Either that or slam disagrees on me like no one's business while calling me some PS3 fanboy without one shred of ACTUAL evidence to back it up.)

EDIT@BELOW: And YOU wouldn't be excited about ANY PS3 game that anyone talks about, right? It's not like people don't know how commenters on N4G operate.

[el zorro]

Those who favor the PS3 are always listing a bunch of games that nobody has heard of. Or if they have been heard of, they are often second rate games that not a lot of people are looking forward to. But that doesn't stop them from hyping them up as if they were the best games ever, ready to take on the likes of Halo 3 ODST and Forza 3.

Edit> Sure, I am getting Uncharted 2 and God of War 3. I just don't think the console as whole is as great as some of you here think. That is, I don't think it completely destroys the 360 as some of you claim. I think the 360 in fact does some things better.

[Instinct_Gamer]

el zorro its simple, this is a new generation. Sony is actually coming out with new games, hence you never heard of them. 360 however is content with releasing sequels forever, decades from now 360 owners will be playing freakin "Halo 24", and "gears of war 11: operation Jockstrap". Or some new HAlo spin off, "Halo SDC: chronicles of master chief". Personally I am tired of developers releasing sequels and spinoffs. I like to see new fresh ideas, I now know that not everybody shares that view. I guess 360 is a good home for you, I bet the familiarity makes you feel safe from the big bad PS3.

[vmanj]

i would not b talking about X360z because so far it has alot more exclusivez than ps3 does and will in 2009!!!!

Sony always gets ppl excited with 'oh we have dis exclusive, we have dis best looking game' but in the end wut is actually releasing this year out of all they speculated??? uncharted and MAG mayb (u no sony n their delays)

i mean no doubt they had 2 big AAA games so far but 360 has plently titlez of its own despite lacking first-party studios!!!

p.s this fall 2 of the biggest exclusive titles n the characters will go head on against each other
NATHAN DRAKE VS SAM FISHER.........who shall prevail????

[Freak of Nature]

Owners of the PS360 combo.....

[KingKionic]

Sam fisher or Nathan Drake...

If your talking about in a fight ...sam fisher.

This guy can kill you with out you seeing him.

[skatezero246]

Quality>Quantity more doesn't = better and I think Sony has just as much games coming out

[skatezero246]

lol at the people who disagreed with me when I think Quality>Quantity.
Not very surprising though consider I bet every single person who Disagreed invested in a system that had a failure rate of 33% when it released (xbox 360)

Edit: proves me point I get more disagrees but no1 wants to tell me why they would want alot of garbage games instead of a few good games ... to each there own I guess

[CWMR]

-Obviously people are disagreeing with you because you are implying that the PS3 has more quality, while the 360 has more quantity, and that isn't true. The 360 has quantity and quality. The ps3 is behind in the quantity and about equal in the quality-

[Instinct_Gamer]

Vman J your typing style makes you come off as an uneducated douche. Why then do you spew out your idiotic opinion which really means nothing to anyone, unless they listen to fools who type "exclusivez and dis". Go get an education and stop trying to "b dupid Yo`". 360 should be called "gearshaloeffectforza 360" cause thats the only decent exclusives 360 has, so enjoy your sequels and rehashed gameplay.

[skatezero246]

yea Sony's line up was to good to be true, I was worried I wouldn't have enough money to get all the great games there pushing out. Instead I can get AAA games this year and look forward to some more AAA titles to kick off next year (God of War 3, and Final Fantasy 13)

... and whoever said the games Sony announced had release dates? I can't believe some people act. thought god of war 3 was coming out this year. I mean all you gotta do is look at the release dates of the first 3 games ... all where in March if I'm not mistaken

[PS360PCROCKS]

Ya it sucks but I never believe Sony. Lol it's obvious which games will come out and which ones wont. The ones with all the previews/screens/videos usually are the ones to come out that year.

[XDF]

Sony’s already confident in what they’ll be delivering to PlayStation 3 owners this year, releasing a press release confirming “God of War III,” “MAG,” “Heavy Rain” and others are all coming this year.

http://multiplayerblog.mtv....

As I recall there was a 400 plus post on the Front Page and all the Sony Faithfuls were celebrating like it is 1999.. LMFAO

[food86]

you ms people are seriously delusional why can't we agree that both platforms have great exclusives. just because yall play xbox and don't know squat of ps3 games doens't mean it makes them less interesting. as far as games being released add kilzone 2, infamous, mlb 09, yakuza 3 (only in japan but exclusive and coming to ps3) and then add uncharted 2, mag, racthet and clank acit, and ninja gaiden 2 sigma (more bosses 'statue of liberty is a boss)cross edge, and demon souls. thats 11 exclusives that no doubt will get much attention from ps3 owners. and for xbox
we've had ninja blade, star ocean, race pro, stoked,velvet assasin,halo odst, forza 3, splinter cell, and l4dead 2 (too soon imo for a new one) thats 9 sorry if im missing some but im sure ps3 are missing a couple also but imo ps3 has more quality titles although im getting splinter cell and forza for my 360

[N2NOther]

I'll be happy with Uncharted 2, Fat Princess and Ratchet and Clank this year for PS3 and I'll be getting Splinter Cell, Modern Warfare 2, Left 4 Dead 2 and Assassin's Creed 2 for the 360. I won't be wanting for games.

[Traveler]

Absolutely. Great games coming out for all consoles.

[Old_Boss]

we already got killzone 2 + infamous
upcoming is demon soul + MAG + uncharted 2 + FFxiii in japan
so tell me what xbox got other than sc;conviction and froza 3 if it come this year ????

[SaberEdge]

360 has already got Halo Wars, Ninja Blade, Star Ocean, Velvet Assassin and a couple others. Halo Wars is basically equivalent to Infamous, they received similar review scores and Halo Wars actually sold more. In fact, Halo Wars also outsold Killzone 2. Those other 360 games, while not as big as Halo Wars and Killzone 2, will nonetheless appeal to a wide variety of gamers.

Later this year the 360 also has Halo 3 ODST, Left 4 Dead 2, GTA4 TBoGT and Shadow Complex, in addition to SC Conviction and Forza 3.

[XDF]

Don't forget cult exclusives like Outrun Arcade, Virtua On, Banjo Tooie, and Perfect Dark 1080P on XBLA.

Also, games like Battlestations Pacific, Section 8, Magnacarta 2, and Champions Online will all be available on x360 this year.

[skatezero246]

it's no use trying to talk to the xbox fans there obviously crawling all over this article

[Strikepackage Bravo]

is those who made logical and fair arguments at the beginning of the year, stating that Sony's 2009 line up was mostly fluff, and many of the games would not actually come out in 2009, those people were called trolls, xbots, and idiots.

At some point maybe we should stop calling them xbots and start calling them smart, because they seem to know more about what sony is going to do then anyone, including Sony!

[DelbertGrady]

Exactly. They've done it every year since the PS3 was released(before even!) and still some people choose to ignore it and believe everything Mr.Tretton & co tells them.

[skatezero246]

umm Sony never announced release dates for the games coming in 2010 all they did was show a trailer/demos ... and when the game does get a release date people start acting like the games where pushed back when they never had a release date so how has Sony delayed any games coming out in 2010?

[XDF]

Ratchet and Clank #12, MAG, and Demon Soul...wooooo, those are such AAA, monsters game. LMFAO . Seriously, besides PS3 fanboys, no one cares about them.

Come this Fall the 4 Horsemen of Apocalypse (L4D2, Forza 3, Splinter Cell Conviction, and Halo ODST) will emerged and PS3 Fanboys will cry like little B!@tchE$.

[badbond1]

f*ck about Fall the 4 Horsemen of Apocalypse (L4D2, Forza 3, Splinter Cell Conviction, and Halo ODST) will emerged and PS3 Fanboys will cry like little B!@tchE$. I mean once you put up Uncharted 2, White Knight Chronicles, Ninja Gaiden Sigma 2 (upgraded with better graphics and new bosses to fight), Ratchet and Clank, GT5, Heavy Rain, MAG, GOD of WAR III, you are left with, "Sony wins", bottom line. You guys can't compete with Uncharted 2, GT5, and GOWIII, point blank!

[KingKionic]

If your going to add GT5, Heavy Rain, MAG, GOD of WAR III . lets make it equal and add. Crack down ,alan wake halo reach,gears of war 3.

:)

[Man_of_the_year]

I gotta tell ya badbond1. By adding in games that come out in 2010 when the discussion is clearly about 09 line-up...you make yourself look foolish, desperate and clearly doesn't help you argument...if anything you just made your points look even worse and are clearly not helping your fellow brethren.

[Arnon]

You forgot Mass Effect 2 as well.

[DelbertGrady]

Sony delays, MS delivers. It will be evident this holiday, just like it as been the last two years. History repeats.

[skatezero246]

yup Sony sure does Sony announced God of war 3 2009 and delayed it/ end sarcasm.

Sony hasn't delayed anything when it comes to the games coming in 2010 .... don't blame Sony because you take the media's speculated release dates as fact

[Instinct_Gamer]

your right history does repeat, therefore PS will beat out MS as it did last generation. By the way I have my hands full with new hot exclusives, KIllzone2 and infamous, my friend and avid 360 fan is still playing Fallout 3 because 360 has come out with crap exclusives this year. By the way Forza does not and will not ever compare to Gran Turismo. By the way Killzone2 destroys ANY game 360 has came out with.

[Arnon]

God of War 3 was announced 2008...

@Above

By the way
By the way
By the way

BY THE WAY your facts are opinions and are moot. BY THE WAY Killzone 2 is NOT the best game ever because I've seen higher rated and better selling shooters in my life. BY THE WAY inFAMOUS is NOT the best sandbox game because I've seen higher rated and better selling sandbox games in my life. BY THE WAY Forza Motorsport 2 already OUTDID Gran Turismo 5 Prologue.

[ChulHakSan]

Ok dude, take it easy, no one should get angry over this and you sounded pretty pissed
On god of war 3, the first cinematic teaser was shown in E3 2008, the first gameplay trailer, 1 minute long was shown on 2008 VGA, and a second trailer was leaked around the first 2 months of 2009, the first official release date given by Sony from GOW 3 was this E3, every other release date, was pure expeculation, as with most release dates

[Arnon]

Lol? I'm not angry in the least bit. I don't get angry over someone's opinion towards an inanimate object. That's silly.

[collin1986]

im a dual console owner, i just have the need to type it.lol

[LarVanian]

I'm quite happy with the PS3 line-up this fall. I'm already enjoying Killzone 2 and inFamous and soon Fat Princess.
Uncharted 2, Ratchet, MAG, Demon's Souls and a few multi-plats are enough to finish off the year for me. Anymore games and I seriously will be broke.

PS: I must say there has been an unusual high increase of 360 owners since E3. (Doesn't bother me though) However PS3 owners seem to be getting an epic amount of unnecessary disagrees. Some guys are getting more than 10 diagrees just for saying that they are happy with the Fall 2009 games line-up.

[SaberEdge]

I think most of the disagrees I have seen were on comments that say something like "the PS3 has the greatest lineup ever" or "the 360 has no games this year", you know, stuff like that.

I think for a long time a lot of 360 owners weren't coming to this site because they were tired of getting swamped by PS3 fanboys, but E3 tends to bring in more gamers in general and hopefully there can be something a little more close to a balance on this site between the various viewpoints, instead of being so heavily overrun by PS3 fans.

[skatezero246]

Yea I noticed the same thing, but like yourself I'm more than pleased with Sony's line up. <-- isn't that all that matters? as long as your satisfied with the games your getting for the console of your choice then who cares?

[ChulHakSan]

Ok some pro-PS3 may comment with a bit of fanboyism in them but the amount of disagrees is an enormous overreaction,
the fanboy cycle is a vicious one, One a**hole, or someone with nothing best to do writes a comment like the one of counter-strike's below, offensive, moronic and just useless, some PS3 fanboy, is offended writes a comment of the sort, more ppl get offended and it starts again
Expressing and idea like the PS3 2009 line up is awesome, is harmless, it should not get enormous quantities of disagrees

[sGIBMBR]

I like both consoles but don't own both consoles, 360 is enough to keep me going for alife time, however, prior E3 i was alil worried about the 360 line-up for 2009, BUT, the tables sure have turned around, now im worried that my wallet can't handle these amazing games coming out!

[tiamat5]

As usual all fingers point to Sony. Unless everything works out perfectly for them in every way they get ragged on. How many promises and mistakes has Microsoft made from systems dying and scratching discs to over hyped games and broken promises to a Xbox original that was a piece of trash.But of course no one admitted that until it failed miserably. From the PS1 to the PS3 Sony has done their best to keep up with our gaming needs but as soon as Microsoft opens their big traps suddenly everything they say is okay. How many games did Microsoft show that aren't coming out until next year? Sony showed just as many games for this year as Microsoft did with half their line up coming for the PS3 as well.I am not saying that Microsoft's line up is anything to sneeze at but why is it that Xbots can never admit that we have good games too? I mean you have to admit that Uncharted 2, MAG, Demon Souls and Ratchet and Clank CIT look top notch.Why can't you just swallow your pride and admit it.

[XDF]

Using the word "us" and xbot$ won't help your cause.
Xbox fans never said PS3 has no games....just not enough this year :D

I am sorry but besides Uncharted 2 which look fantastic and a day one purchase 4 me..putting MAG, Another Ratchet game and Demon Soul into a fight with AAA franchises like Halo, Forza, L4D, and Splinter Cell this Fall is a lose, lose situation. It is the equivalent of Glass Joe Fighting Mike Tyson, so to speak.

[el zorro]

I take offense at you calling the original Xbox "a piece of trash". It was my favorite console last generation and had some of my favorite games of all time. Its games tended to be a little more mature and directed towards the adult gamer. Plus, I loved the fact that I could play PC oriented games like Doom 3 and Half Life 2 without having to maintain a gaming PC. I also loved the fact that it had a built in hard drive. The thing that pushed it over the top for me was Xbox LIVE. I had so many good times playing Halo 2, Splinter Cell and other games that I will never forget.

[learte]

man it seems i can barely keep up with the games i want. i love RPG's and i thought they would put demon souls in the list. and also am surprised of all the disagreements on this post. can't we get along?? i have a friend who has a 360 and him and i get together have drinks and we do &%$ch of "with is the best console" but we agreed that after i finish God of War 3, we will switch consoles and play each others exclusive games. not to &"$ch at each other but so we don't miss out. so i hope you gain friends and play other consoles. FYI - the only thing we agree on it that Wii "suck ass" even if i was a nintendo fan long ago, they just don't make games for me any more (my opinion).

[tiamat5]

Don't bother reasoning with Xbots. They would never admit Sony has good games if their lives depended on it. Remember these are the same people that defended the original Xbox even though everyone including most developers could see that it was a piece of crap. And we all see what happened to it.Sony ruled over the gaming world with the PS1 and PS2.Now just because they hit a slump this time around suddenly the Xbots have found their balls and have started boasting again. But remember it wasn't our console that was a piece of crap just a few years ago.It is amazing how Xbots can pretend that never happened and forget who was king and still can be king again.

[All Time Greatness]

"Remember these are the same people that defended the original Xbox even though everyone including most developers could see that it was a piece of crap"

Is that right? I actually used to play PS2 but now play Xbox 360. As does everyone else I know.

Xbox 360 will be at 65 million+ consoles in 3 more years. It's not only Original Xbox owners playing Xbox 360.

[el zorro]

The original Xbox was not "a piece of crap". It was actually my favorite console. I found more of the games i wanted to play on the Xbox and I also loved the fact that most of the multiplatform games also looked better on the Xbox. I loved that it had a hard drive. And I especially loved Xbox LIVE.

What did Xbox do? Well, it became the second best selling console and established the Xbox brand in the market. It also created a whole bunch of fans like me who were ready to support the 360 from day one.

Last generation I had a PS2 and this gen I have a PS3, so of course I think there are good games on those consoles. Quite a few in fact. It's just that I think the 360 has more of the games I like and has a superior controller and a superior online service. I don't care if you prefer the PS3, as long as you respect my right to prefer the 360. Which PS3 fans on this site have not been good at doing so far.

[zeeman]

People need to chill the hell out.

There were over enough AAA titles for the PS3 this year. We are in the midst of a recession. Most people, myself included cannot afford so many exclusive games plus the yearly multiplats like PES, FIFA, Madden, UFC etc.
Not to mention a Blu ray collection.

[Neo604]

[silverchode]

lol at the obvious multiple accounts

[Why o why]

Killzone 2, MLB 09, Infamous, Ninja Gaiden Sigma 2 , Ratchet n Clank, Mag, Drakes 2, Demon souls ..........Is bested by ......please list

Foolish people. game slips have been happening since games were invented, take off your blinkers open your eyes and appreciate a stella 2009 for ps3 fans with a lineup that has quality and variety. The only thing that ive not listed that WILL probably make 09 is GT5 especially since the WRC showed 09 in the trailer. Like i said, please list.

The best part is you can disagree but dont have the b*lls to list 09 titles LOL, this is making my morning, im actually smiling

yeah xdf, wheres the quality. I can list 30 games but how many of those are any good furthermore you are not the type of person im asking for a list. reason and logic never beats the hands of a extremist so jog on

[Persistantthug]

I don't know that one.

Thanks.

[psiom]

I like the numbers in this article...very interesting.

Every year, 8 or 9 titles are announced, but only three or four make it.
The PS3 has been out for about two and a half years, so that's 22 AAA titles that were announced, with only 10 having been released, according to the author's maths.

so TWELVE AAA titles were either canceled or are late...what are they? I'd lo ve to know.

[theox2g7]

You totally ignore the carry over games that are delayed but still get released in the next year, Those games are not part of the newly announced games the following year but according to your logic they are, Heavenly Sword was meant to be a launch title but was delayed to 2007, Games like MGS4 expected in 2007 but released in 2008, Likewise Killzone 2 was expected in late 2008 and was even demoed for two consecutive years at E3 and Heavy Rain, GT5, WKC, God of War 3 all expected in 2009 but now most likely 2010, Not to mention games like Getaway 3, Eight Days, Killing Day that were either cancelled or put on hold, A new ICO game has been in anticipation and lukewarm rumor stage for the past 3 years, It's all part of the marketing buzz to keep the ps3 relevant and in the news headlines(not to say it is in any way irrelevant, i can't wait for Uncharted 2, the E3 2009 trailer was the most epic cinematic game trailers i've seen in a while)

I'd say even with the numbers off, the author has a point

[You Already Know]

read the article ....where it links to my previous article and it shows the list for 2008...

remember how White Knight Chronicles, Final Fantasy XIII and Killzone 2 (to name a few) were supposed to be released in 2008?

that's 3 off the top of my head....not to mention the games that DID make it out that year...

[XDF]

Go read the rest of the thread and see the list for yourself. But as always Sony fanboys speak before they think. ;/

Your list is awful...buddy...try harder.

[Ravage27]

people seem to have forgotten about KZ2,MLB'09 and inFamous. Forgetful much?

[xg-ei8ht]

GT5 is coming 09.

[SpaceSquirrel]

The PS3 is still having a great year already with Flower, Killzone 2 and Infamous.

[OmarJA]

What a bunch of sad bots with multiple accounts...

So sad.

[Bordel_1900]

After reading many of these post I'm glad I'm not in the shoes of a lot of these sad peoples lives, mostly XBOX fans that will do and say anything to make them selves feel good. Pathetic.

[Counter Strike]

For Ps3 the only Worth Game is Uncharted 2...is the only i will buy because Multi´s are all for my X360. MAG looks Cr** and the other i have already play on X360 or i dont care (Ninja Gaiden...lool).

On X360 i will buy Halo 3 ODST , Forza MotorSport 3 , Left for Dead 2 , Splinter Cell Conviction and ALL the Multi´s like Modern Warfare 2 , Assassins Creed 2 , Bioshock 2 ... Im also waiting for RaRe games such as Kameo 2 because the 1st One was Freaking amazing , much better than any Ps3 Plataform game in my opinion!

On Wii im want the New Metroid and Super Mario Galaxy 2 :)

On Portables , i dont care about the Psp coz its cr** , well i will maybe "buy" GT mobile but i dont even know if i want to "buy" it...LOOOL

On Nintendo DS , hell yeah my Nintendo DS will have hard work on this year because great games are coming and i cant wait :) Going out with my DS FTW!

[Bordel_1900]

I don't care about any of the games on X360, so what's your point?

[saimcheeda]

Xbots are all over this place and they say that we are always at there sections!!....not only that all xbots have more agrees whiule ps fans have disagrees which further proves my forst point and also proves that Xbots have so many alt accounts!!...lets see how many agrees and disagrees i get!

[TwiztedR3DHead]

hell 2 da muthafckin yea

[caffman]

this is a family flame war you know!

[callahan09]

It wasn't too good to be true. Nobody ever said that all those games were coming in 2009, except some people on the internet that have no industry connections and are just making a bunch of rash assumptions. But the line-up is still extremely impressive. So many good games coming down the pipeline, it doesn't matter if they're coming in 2009 or 2010, they'll be here and they'll be fun.

I mean, for 2009 you've got your casual base covered with EyePet and more SingStar iterations, you've got your hardcore set covered with Demon's Souls, downloadable gems like Fat Princess, Katamari Forever and PixelJunk Shooter, there's your platforming mayhem in Ratchet & Clank and your action adventure with Uncharted 2, and there's your online FPS with MAG, and then you've got all the multiplatform goodness like Modern Warfare 2, Bioshock 2, Assassin's Creed 2, etc.

What more do you want in 2009? Save some of the goodness for 2010, that's fine by me, because if they cram God of War 3, White Knight Chronicles, Gran Turismo 5, Heavy Rain, The Last Guardian, and all the rest on top of the ones that ARE coming in 2009, nobody's going to be able to afford or play them all this year anyway. Got to space them out.

And it seems that people forget that going into 2009, the 09 line-up was hyped up because of games like inFamous and Killzone 2. Yes, those exclusives came out in 2009 as well, and they were very high-quality titles, in addition to MLB 09 The Show. Just because they came out before E3 doesn't exclude them from being a part of the amazing 2009 line-up.

[badbond1]

stealing exclusives that made the Playstation brand, become original like your competition, making your own IPs then I will respect you. When you finally make a quality product without breaking down within months i.e. microsoft vista, 360, etc.,then I will respect you. When you become an innovator and not a mere copier (wii motion controller, Mac OS) then a will respect you. Until then, I will go with the proven leader of the game console generation and that is the Sony Playstation! More 1st and 2nd party exclusives, free online, cheaper upgradable hard drive, and proven quality products, the Xbox 360 will continue to be out of its league!

[Man_of_the_year]

You're pathetic.

[Mr Face Creamer]

Killzone 2, inFamous and Uncharted 2... Best year for Sony CONFIRMED!

Look on the bright side though... You're getting more than two exclusive this year!

[tiamat5]

If the original Xbox wasn't crap how come no one was buying it even afterward. People still buy the PS2 to this day but you couldn't give an original Xbox away. Also if it wasn't crap how come most developers ignored it.Face it, If not for Team Ninja and Bungie feeling sorry for them the Xbox would have been stomped into oblivion.People keep saying that Sony does this every year and they expected it. Well I expected Microsoft to crow and brag about games that aren't exclusive to them alone, say half truths and make promises which are not as great as they sound and make nothing but sequels, generic shooters and racing games with hardly a proper RPGs, adventure games or platformers in sight. Oh look I was right too.

[_Q_]

I'm starting to see that Sony doesn't really need to put out so many titles in one year. There are other sports(Madden,NBA,NHL) and filler(like Batman and Ghostbusters) titles still coming and people tend to play the past exclusives(MGS4,KIllzone 2) for quite a while. at this point it just seems like Sony is trying not to hinder any sales by releasing big titles too close together. Seems smart to me. I have enough games atm. One coming out every month to month and a half isn't super necessary to keep my business. And from what it looks like. Even if Sony under delivers on the titles Uncharted 2 alone is still enough for me. GOW3 in March is just fine.

[maverick1191]

christ look at all the 360 fanboys on this article you jealous or something about the games that are on ps3 and not 360 and they say N4G is a sony fanboy website come on

[Light Yagami]

LMFAO! Sony delaying games like always.

[You Already Know]

I don't think that any of these games were delayed because there was never a date....but you usually hear "sometime during (fill in the year)" and then it doesn't happen that year at all..

or when the media...or major sites with heavy reputation say that a particular game is coming out around such and such time...and then it doesn't...

how about when USAToday had a rumor going that God of War III would be out this year right before Sony's E3 conference...I forget which month they said...but it was either October or November....which was a bunch of crap...

and while USAToday isn't a gaming site...they are a major news site...and what they said was a bunch of crap..

[mario2man]

For my last post ever on this I would like to apologise to any non-fanboys I may have offended. I am sorry. Goodbye forever.

Rip; Mario2man

[yoghurt]

The problem relating to release dates is that a line-up is announced, great. But then from that point onwards everybody is speculating on the release date, "oh it must be next week because spar have it on thier website as that!"

that goes on and on, and then when some sort of announcement IS made everyone is moaning.

This year has already been awsome, KZ2 and Infamous being the 2 standout ones for me, but then we have ratchet coming, uncharted 2 and maybe GT5 + loads of other titles and PSN games - how can we moan????

so far every year I have had my PS3 has been 'the year of the PS3'

[be_wrong]

the line up for this year is still great, uncharted 2 alone tops everything. compared to other consoles that don't have anything to offer.

[Counter Strike]

"compared to other consoles that don't have anything to offer. "

i Hope ur not talking the Wii because Wii has Great games coming out so dont alk Trash!

If ur talking about X360 so i just lol at you dude...

Get a Life serously...

Ps3 this Year bess tittles : Killzone 2 , Uncharted 2...This is enough ? Good for you...i dont like te rest and even KZ2 i dont really like it...i own a Ps3 and i was hoping for something more...

On Microsoft i was so dissapointed but after E3 i just said "Damn...Microsoft and X360 never Dissapoint!" , Halo ODST , Splinter Cell , Left for Dead 2 , Forza 3 and all Multi Games that i allways buy for 360...Amazing year for X360 for me better than Ps3 Year...

But i never desrespect Nintendo!!! they have great games coming for wii and DS!

[C_Dub]

Not quantity. You won't see Sony in any hurry to rush products and games out the door half-finished. That being said, it does get tiresome waiting for new items all the time but you know when they arrive, they're done right.

This is why I try not to get too hyped up when I see all the AAA lineups every year. I know that out of 7 or 8 games we only see 3 or 4 but they still own.

It's all about patience.

[Persistantthug]

There are currently 682 (exclusive: 111; multiplatform: 500; console exclusive: 71) games on this list.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wik...

There are currently 457 (exclusive: 101; non exclusive: 345; console exclusive: 8; trophy support: 223; no trophy support: 232; eventual trophy support: 2) games on this list.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wik...

[Figboy]

i'd just stop at "too good."

i'm disappointed that Heavy Rain and White Knight Chronicles got pushed to 2010, but i never thought God of War 3 or Gran Turismo would hit this year.

all the other exclusive games that i was excited about for this year ARE coming out.

Killzone 2 - purchased
inFAMOUS - purchased
Fat Princess (this week!)
Ratchet and Clank Future: A Crack in Time - this fall
Uncharted 2: Among Thieves - this fall
Demon Souls - this fall
Ninja Gaiden Sigma 2 - this fall
Afrika - this fall (i'm actually looking forward to this game, so it's on my personal list - i could care less what anybody elses list looks like).

articles like this are too subjective to be useful to anyone but fanboys who want to argue either way.

personally, the PS3 lineup for ME this year has been great so far. add in some awesome multi-platform titles, and my gaming plate is too full to care about some exclusives that may have fell into next year.

the same could be said for the 360 since it's lineup so far this year has been mediocre (Ninja Blade was meh), and i'm not a big Halo or Splinter Cell fan, so it's two biggest 2009 releases do nothing for me, and sadly, Mass Effect 2 and Alan Wake don't hit until next year (those are the single two 360 titles that i'm dying to get my hands on).

but again, that's all my subjective opinion.

the Playstation 3's lineup this year has been damn good, and it's a far cry from the days when people constantly screamed "the PS3 has no games!"

there's plenty out there to enjoy (for both consoles). it's just a matter of what you're interested in as a gamer.

Should read PS3 lineup for 09 is just to good

Every year is the year on ps3, sony announce game 3 years before there release date.

[gamingparadise]

For me, it's the following games for 2009-10:
Forza Motorsport 3
GT PSP
Modern Warfare 2
Uncharted 2
Assassins Creed 2
Halo ODST
GOW3
FF13
Mass Effect 2

I'm going to pretty much save up sh!t loads of money and buy all of those games. Oh, the joys of being a gamer this generation!

Ignore1.10 - smoke and mirrors
All I keep hearing is how sony "WILL"(future tense) have more exclusives than micro, but until we can play "announcements" its all speculation.

Theres a big difference between ps3 actually having more exclusives on store shelves vs ps3 having more announced games with no sure release dates than 360. Sony afterall is far better known for announcing things early and multiple delays, see KZ2, LBP, and almost every first party exclusive. lol I'm sorry but its the same thing I heard last yr and 360 went on a steam roll through the holidays.

360 owners aren't anymore waiting for games than ps3 owners, last time I checked just counting 2009 exclusives, 360 so far released either the same amount or more of exclusives than ps3, although imo HW's was the only really good one so far, but still theres SO4 (isn't my cup of tea) and NB (decent). PS3 has what KZ2 (which I own) and MLB(dont like baseball) so far this year, with infamous coming in late May now? I'm quite sure there will be more the rest of the year but I'm sure the 360 will have some too.

This is the same old "Folklore" story we keep hearing ps3 "WILL" have more games, just like we heard before launch and the whole first yr ps3 was available, "wait", "wait", now that was TRULY WAITING, as it stands now ps3 has *finally got some games but so what 360 has ALWAYS had some great games every year and I have no doubt it will get a few this year.

I haven't seen 1 ps3 exclusive list with all these confirmed solid timeframes/date for 2009, you watch at the end of the year they both will be pretty close in terms of exclusives released and then the same folk tales will begin again, same pattern wash rinse repeat.
