PS3 Lineup For '09 Was Too Good To Be True

You Already Know - 147 days 1 hour ago

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...

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.

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.

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...

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.

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**

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.

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.

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 - 146 days 23 hours ago

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.

x__JL__X - 146 days 23 hours ago

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.

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 - 146 days 21 hours ago

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.

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.

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

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).

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?

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.

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 - 147 days ago

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.

@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.

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.

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.

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...

it's because the PS3 is slowly but surely winning over with great games like Killzone 2, MLB 09', InFamous, Uncharted 2, R&C, MAG, GT5, GOWIII and more! You can't stop the rain (reign!) xbots. Metacritic - resident evil 5 ps3 is winning and other notables exist. It's simple, the ps2 dominated the xbox in the long run and it will happen again with this generation.

Trust me when I say that when God of war hits we will have less fanboy antics going back and forth. It will be less denial going on and more of " I now own a PS3 and it is the better console"!

Open your disc tray and plop in a high def movie xbots... oh you can't do that.

Get free online xbots.. oh, you can't do that.

Xbots, show the best graphics of this generation... oh you can't do that.

Xbots, let me see your web browser, oh you can't do that.

Xbots, buy a new hard drive cheaper than ps3 owners, oh you can't do that.

Xbots, convince everyone that Nadal is going to be a hit... oh, you definitely can't do that.

Xbots, convince everyone that Forza 3 is going to be better than GT5.. once again, you can't and won't do that!

Xbots, take your halo above your head and shove it up your azz, oh, you can definitely do that!

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!

"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.
