PS3 Exclusives That Probably Won't Release in 2011

Here's the list of PS3 exclusives everyone wants to see in 2011, but probably won't.

[jizzyjones]

I think Twisted Metal and Last Guardian will, doubt the rest will. Not that it will make much difference as the PS3 lineup next year is incredible.

[Abash]

I agree with all of those in the article, except Twisted Metal. I think that will be coming out this year.

[ABizzel1]

I think Twisted Metal and White Knight will make it. Looks like the PS3 is going back to it's roots in 2012. A lot of Japanese games.

[GWAVE]

Half of the PS3's exclusives could be delayed and it would still have the best lineup of 2011.

[velocitygamer]

It's been 2 years since we heard of agent. They better fucking at LEAST show us a trailer of the god damn thing.

[Washington-Capitals]

I really think agent is a joke. Come on guys we havent heard anything from rockstar about that game in ages.

[Focker420]

Ages?? Really?? It was just announced at last years E3, and at that stage it was just starting development. Agent has only been in development for 1.5 years. Thats not 'ages'. It won't be ready until at least 2012 because I highly doubt they'd only have a 2 year development cycle for this game.

[STREET x KING]

i think twisted metal is the most likely to get delayed. after they announced and demoed the game, a lot of people were whining about the graphics. so thats my guess.

[I_find_it_funny]

Agent won't come out because there's no such game :)

[lexington]

Imagine that. An "Exclusive" for ps3hdwii that might get delayed LOL.

[showtimefolks]

last guardian in Q1 2012

i want twisted metal to be delayed take your time jaffe because there are just too many ps3 exclusive next year we don't mind Q1 2012

also no news on socom 4 release date

ratchet all 4 one i think will make it but if they want better sales it needs to be either summer of 2011 or Q1 2012

other than that i fully expect everything else to be on time

uall have to understand that most of those games will come out because they have been in devolpment for atleast 2 plus year by the time they are suppose to come out

[TheLastGuardian]

The Last Guardian might get pushed to 2012. Theres no doubt about it that Twisted Metal will come out in 2011. Jaffe promised it would come out before December 2011. Twisted Metal is almost in the Alpha stage. 2011 wouldn't be nearly as good for me if it didn't have Twisted Metal because that's my most anticipated game. I HAVE to be in the beta.

[Jaces]

I wouldn't mind if some of those didn't appear until next year, seeing how this year is jam packed with a ton of exclusives already.

[Vherostar]

Madness though that most this list ain't even on the big list of exclusives for 2011 you see on most sites. Imagine if most them came out this year too?? My wallet is already scared half to death of 2011 it cannot take much more! I need to sue Sony for costing me too much money! Somebody has to pay for these games dammit I cant afford them all!

[Urmomlol]

What a stupid, pointless article.

[MaxOpower]

True! and...

"...but two full Insomniac games in one year seem bad for business."

This is junk! Why would that be bad for business. It's two very different crowds and two very different games. I (As the biggest Insomniac fan in the world) want them both. But I doubt thats the general feel.

[DigitalRaptor]

Agreed.

White Knight Chronicles 2? Definitely coming in 2011.

Versus XIII? There has never been any certainty of it coming 2011 anyway.

The Last Guardian might be delayed to Q1 2012.

Twisted Metal will be coming 2011. Jaffe and his team have deadlines.

AGENT has never been slated for any earlier than 2012.

Starhawk... unannounced.

Syphon Filter... unannounced.

Ratchet & Clank might be delayed but not likely.

There has been no confirmation that Malicious is coming to the west.

Tales of Xilia won't get a western release in the same year as its Japanese release in 2011. Many Japanese games aren't localised for at least a year, so is this any surprise?

[the_best_player]

Syphon Filter is unannounced but in development for PS3

[the_best_player]

lol at Disagrees

[Capt-FuzzyPants]

Just really want Versus but I did play WKC and i want that too. I really really want them this year cause im getting tired of all these shooting games. I like them but they all get old and boring to me.

[zackacloud]

WKC really deserve a good budget even quarter that was for FFXIII

am boring from FFXIII everytime i put the disc into my PS3
that never happen to me exepct Re:chain of memories

because i already played chain of memories and didn't found that improved make me playing ps2 again and i was miss PS button on ps2 controller loooooooool

[zackacloud]

I hope not all 2011 list release on 2011 because i want to play games without skip others

[KillingAllFanboys]

I dont care if a Tales games come out til 2012. I just want to play one gosh.Namco Bandai make it happen, bring it over to the west!!! Also, FFV13 can have enough time I want that game to be awesome so I can wait a year.

[R_aVe_N]

I see no reason for White Knight Chronicles 2 not to release next year they are already doing localization for the US. Twisted Metal will also be out this year. The Last Guardian will most likely be released during the holidays.

[blackburn5]

Agreed Urmomlol. I am not certain why people are trying to counter our sweet gaming line up by predicting what will or won't come out. Ever since we found out about the amount of games we will be getting, haters keep trying to predict that most if not all will be delayed until 2012. Why don't we wait and see instead of putting your feet in your mouths as per usual. BTW I am actually hoping for a few monthly delays. If the games are more spaced out in 2011, it gives us a chance to buy more of them. In the first three months I alrady have to choose between LBP2, ME2. MS:A, Sorcery, Socom, KZ3 and Slamblot Scrappers. Already too many.

[Sharingan_no_Kakashi]

White knight 2, twisted metal, and Ratchet all for 1 will be released this year. The rest prolly not. But wth is up with mentioning a game that hasn't been announced or teased and has no reason to believe is in development?

[Sizzon]

I do hope that The Last Guardian will make it.

[redDevil87]

I think it will be delayed. I don't se where they could put it.

Sept - is R3

Oct - maybe

Nove - U3, ME3 and new COD.... no way

Dec - i doubt it. They would be wiser giving the game its own space in the market

[lelo2play]

I agree that most games of that list are going to be delayed. A lot of PS3 exclusive games have been delayed this generation, so no surprise here. I'd actually be surprised if most of those games were released on 2011.

[MUHAHAHAHAAHAHA]

you know what game i want to be released this year? Getaway 3, but it wont :/

And i also want eight days as well...I mean just look at this
http://www.youtube.com/watc...

[joeorc]

that is the real non existent problem...there is games from
PSN
PSN HOME
Playstation Move games
Playstation 3 games released @ counter Point of sale

an people act like there will not be enough games to go out this year for entertainment.

the problem is most of the doubters it seem want to concentrate on what's not or it may come out instead of playing what is out already.

I mean already games get delayed anyway all the time even on other platforms, the PS3 is no exception.

the fact that people already trying to lower the number of games that could be releasd this year when the freaking year just started not more than 24 hours ago...lol

already talks about what will get delayed?.

lol...people that bent out of shape already?

[Motorola]

As long as Uncharted and TM are coming out, I'll survive

[CrzyFooL]

Jaffe said TM is done they are just polishing it now.

[sway__z]

If GTA5 releases before Agent, then I will seriously start thinking maybe Agent won't release at all....

I hope i'm wrong about this, but 2 years, nothing to show?

Is this a joke?

*Yeah, there are other awesome PS3 games to look fwd to, but I was kinda really looking fwd to see what they could do with this exclusively on PS3/Bluray etc

[joeorc]

Agent is being done the point is who is developing it is a big plus:

Take-Two grooming Agent to be the next GTA

E3 2009 Q&A: Discussing E3 and the current console cycle, president Ben Feder declares the just-announced PS3 exclusive has the Houser Bros. and Rockstar North's "A team working on an AAA title."

also if something was not being done

the Agent Rockstar web site for the game is still active..has not been taken down

Rockstar past history shows really long development cycles LA Noire, announced in 2005 and slated for release in 2011

This is Game Agent is also Rockstar North they def. take their time with development. I would say expect to hear something this year but i would say expect the game next year!

[OGharryjoysticks]

I haven't even heard of most of those games so yeah I doubt they release in 2011. But good job in finding info on them.

[Hozi89]

As long as TES 5, and Uncharted 3 comes out...I'll be a happy little camper : )

[KwietStorm_BLM]

Fuckin pessimists. A handful of those games were never even confirmed for a 2011 release, or even confirmed to exist, i.e Starhawk, Syphon Filter 5, FFXIIIVs, Agent. I have no idea why they would say Twisted Metal and All For One would be delayed though. Why do people always look for something to fall short of expectations? And could someone give me a viable reason why so many people have been saying Last Guardian will be delayed, other than the fact that they think it will be delayed?

[MetalFreakMike]

The Tales game is just wishful thinking. Namco keeps on saying "No Plans" while they know that Tales usually sells well on consoles. Putting them on handhelds and the Wii screwed them.

Other games on that list could come out on time. The site is just going by what they heard. One game didn't even get announced yet so they should just keep it off the list.

Edit: The no plans part was for Namco bringing the Tales games to America. Japan will still get it tho. I'm going to have to learn Japanese and import it to play it :(

[Bigbangbing]

TLG :(

[Prcko]

twisted metal will release 2011!
Jafee said on twitter multiple times that he has a release date alrdy,and he love it!

[remanutd55]

i hope to play Ratchet and Clank All 4 One , White Knight Chronicles 2 , The Last Guardian and Twisted Metal this year.
Starhawk and Syphon Filter 5 havent been announced yet so i dont think they are coming out this year

[Rhezin]

starhawk, agent, and syphon filter 5 for 2012 would be incredible!

[Kingscorpion1981]

I don't think Syphon filter will ever come out after reading this!

http://yfrog.com/1gsyphon2p

[Ratchet510]

Ratchet and clank and the last guardian will release in 2011.

[brew]

Twisted Metal development sounds like it's going well and Insomniac seems like they want to hit holiday with Ratchet and Clank All 4 One. Missing that window could be "bad for business" , no? Their 2nd studio is handling this spinoff game.

[FrigidDARKNESS]

Sony have far too many exclusives releasing in 2011. From a business point it''s not good but for us Consumers its a good thing. Sony business model is to announce every exclusives and give a non concrete date. Majority of the exclusives will be pushed into 2012 don't know why Sony won't just give us a 2012 date. If anyone remembers when the ps3 was launched Sony promised a ton of exclusives for that year and we really didn't see them till 2-3 years later.

[Nate-Dog]

Versus wasn't supposed to be released this year (or at least the last bit of news on the possible release date we got said that SE don't expect it out before 2012).

(About Syphon Filter 5) "This game is definitely not coming out in 2011 for PS3. It hasn't been announced or even hinted at". Ingenius.

[Kingscorpion1981]

I don't think Syphon Filter is coming out after reading this!

http://yfrog.com/1gsyphon2p

[CernaML]

Twisted Metal? F*ck that. Eat Sleep Play and Sony Santa Monica are both working on that game together. The game has already been in development for about 2 years now and is looking pretty damn good.

[supremacy]

Ok guy must work for sony then and is working with the devs themselves to know this, color me impress. But no seriously ill hold this article and the guy who wrote it to their word and if he is wrong, then he needs to find another day time job.

Its all I am saying, we dont need another micheal patcher or hiphopgamer around too many people begging for attention these days, thats for sure.

And here I thought this was somehow going to be a different year, jeesh.

[Kingscorpion1981]

I believe a new Syphon Filter will be release for the PSP2!! I don't think its coming out for the PS3

[jalen247]

TLG is definitely coming in 2011 (December) because they will release ICO/SOTC collection 6 months or so before to get gamers excited about TLG. Similar to the way GOW Collection was marketed to get gamers ready for GOW III.

Agent is coming in 2012.

Sony already has too many confirmed games to release anymore in 2011. They are already releasing multiple exclusives in the same months.

[Azianphil88]

I pretty much agree on delaying some PS3 exclusives because Sony is release all these great titles so close to each others.
They need to spread them out.
I'm looking forward to E3 11 announcing FFXIII Versus, Last Guardian and Syphon Filter
what i want from Sony is to give us information on some other PS3 exclusives that has been on hold like Eight Days, The Getaway, and some French developers working on a game call Brooklyn Stories.

[Kemicalbeliefs]

I agree, Sony should try scattering the game releases a bit better. I shouldnt complain about having a lot of games to pick from but all at once??

Each console provider sets out their stall for certain times of the year. This is great for bumper sales but they could probably maximise them better by evenly releasing quality games.
If I have 2 or 3 games set at about 20-30hrs play each, am I going to buy anymore?
In the last few years there are games that have been on my radar but I've not bought them due to having to pick a few at a time.

Then we get developer complaints about high costs and poor sales. Well try leaning on your publishers to even the calendar out a bit customer friendly.

[Darth_Bane79]

I don't know man, If they release any more games I'm gonna have to ask for raise because my current salary won't do.. :(

[RandomGamer]

Would be nice if Tales of Xillia gets released in North America ...but it probably won't happen since Namco Bandai will be too busy releasing crappy Dragon Ball Z games that are the exact same as every other one that comes out.

[KillingAllFanboys]

Thank you, I wish they just see that we want Tales and also dude look out for more Naruto games coming out by Namco Bandai. Naruto Ultimate Ninja Storm 2 sold a 1 million worldwide and Namco Bandai are already going to make another one -_-.

[DingDangDoo]

Where is the Getaway ?

Im sick of GTA and the shitty yank cities, Running over blacks and Hookers, getting chased by fat donut eating cops.

I want to be running over Pregnant teen hookers, Hoodies and bent bobbys, All whist driving a Royal Mail delivery van...

[Gamer112]

Finaly someone other than me wants to see the getaway.. bubbles 4 u.

[Neko_Mega]

Doesn't Twisted Metal have a dated it is coming out? I think some of those games are out in Japan.

[OSIRUSSS]

What about the agency?

[Der_Kommandant]

Noooooooooo Twisted Metal nooooooo

[Gamer112]

I wanna see the getaway this year but other ppl forgot about that game.

[StitchJones]

At this point no one really wants a follow up to White Knight Chronicles here in the US. The first one was so poor that it has left a very sour taste in alot of peoples mouths. The Final Fantasy game I myself feel is a joke and will have nothing to do with. I still feel Square-Enix should pay me back for having to buy XIII and that collectors strategy guide. Biggest poor RPG game I've played in many years.

[JAMurida]

It will be beyond sad if a lot of the JRPGS don't come to US/EU in 2011. White Knight Chronicles 2, I'm looking at you!

[DundahMifflin]

I've always had a thought in the back of my mind that inFAMOUS 2 won't cone out until 2012. I hope I'm wrong.

[Figboy]

i think Twisted Metal, The Last Guardian, and Ratchet and Clank: All 4 One will release this year.

why wouldn't they?

i don't really think the reasons given were strong enough to deny a 2011 release.

just because we just learned about R&C and Twisted Metal last year doesn't mean that they just began development last year.

as for The Last Guardian, it was announced, what, 2 years ago? i'm pretty sure Fumito Ueda and Team Ico are nearing completion. he's been working on this game for a long time, as Shadow of the Colossus came out in 2005. i can imagine they probably began pre-production of TLG after wrapping up Shadow (concept some preliminary sketches), and began production of the game sometime in 2006, after getting PS3 dev kits.

5 year dev cycle sounds about right for an Ueda game.

not everybody likes the same type of games, so i can see The Last Guardian releasing in October, or December.

i don't see it releasing in crowded November, but last December was practically void of any worthwhile games.

the summer months are looking sparse as well, which drives me crazy. i often have my most money to blow during the summer months (usually because there's not much to spend it on), and there are hardly any games released during that time period.

the start of this year is a prime example of what's wrong with the thinking in the gaming industry. they've crowded so many games into the January, February, March, and April months that i will, literally, be only able to get one or two of them (Little Big Planet 2 and Dragon Age 2 for the wife, if you're curious). the rest: Dead Space 2, Mass Effect 2, Killzone 3, DC Universe Online, Two Worlds 2, Dungeon Siege 3, LEGO Star Wars 3, Yakuza 4, Portal 2, will not be bought, unfortunately. they ALL come out within the first 4 months of the year.

if you look at May, June, July, and August, they are rather starved for games. then the glut of games picks up again in September on through November.

4 months are practically devoid of games during the middle of the year. i usually try to catch up on games i missed, but by that point, i'm too busy trying to save up for the upcoming games for the fall/winter season (ie, Uncharted 3, Resistance 3, Batman: Arkham City, and Elder Scrolls V, which are must buys for me).

it'd be nice to have more games released in the summer is all. it worked for MGS4, even inFAMOUS and Prototype, so i don't see why it couldn't work for other games (like Twisted Metal).

[belal]

The last guardian, ratchet and twisted metal will release this year.. Heck if they even get a delay it must be with a reason, i am all up for delays if it helps the game getting better.

[CBaoth]

Originally, TLG had a summer release date (July) according to Gamestop. Now, they're using a generic placeholder date of 12/2/2011. I know people hate the company, but I generally find their internal dates pretty accurate.

Now I agree w/ TM and Ratchet, but I think we're all being a little too optimistic at seeing TLG release anywhere but Japan in the calendar year. Maybe by the end of the 2011 FISCAL year.

[belal]

hehe if you follow gametop release table, you are nuts my friend, i work at gamestop and the release dates are just speculation, except for those who are confirmed.

i know im getting my hopes up but we need to have faith that the game releases this year. Didn't sony confirm 2011 release ?

[danielle007]

Where the fudge is Agent? At least tell me what the game is going to be.. it's been almost 2 years now. I'm getting antsyyy.

[rufnux]

wow what a waste of cyberspace.
