Worldwide PS3 releases for the week of February 24th

Not a bad release list for February. PS3 owners the world over finally get to see what all the fuss is about with Capcom's Lost Planet (spoiler: not a lot) and the Lost game also hits shelves. Having seen very little of the title, PS3Fanboy is intrigued to see what it's like. Cautiously intrigued, but intrigued nonetheless. Hit the jump for the full release list:

I can only imagine that this game "Lost" is based off the TV series... tbh the series never interested me and i always thought prison break was the better of the 2 (although i didnt watch a lot of lost)... I dont think i can see a smooth transition from any TV series into a game but if this turns out to be good i will be proven wrong...

As for Lost Planet... Am i the only one who actually thinks this is fun? well offline sucks imo but i loved online for my 360 and every night there was the same group of people setting up matches for fun and the community was awesome... The grenades were so much fun to toy about with and actually pretty much the wep's were pretty sweet... I think this game doesnt appeal to everyone (obviously) but its a pretty fun shooter online

jackdoe5924d ago

Prison Break better than Lost? Guess everyone has opinions, but seriously?

MACHone5924d ago

I'm actually really, really looking forward to Lost Planet. I got to play the first few stages of the single player on our Xbox 360 at work and I've recently tried the multiplayer demo on the PSN and I can't wait to play the whole thing! Giant bosses, great graphics, mech suits, what's not to love? I've always been a huge Capcom fan and I know already that I'll be spending plenty of time with this one!

MACHone5924d ago

OK, so I know the supposed release date for Lost Planet was stated to be February 26th a long time ago, and the PSN demo confirms a "February" release, but there's one little thing that concerns me. On the official US PlayStation website, there's a small scroll window that lists upcoming games (among other things) near the bottom of the page. My concern is that Lost Planet isn't on the list, yet games scheduled to come out before and after it are (Army of Two, etc.). Now, in the past, this little scroll section as signaled delays long before the delays were officially announced (Lair being my best example). Can anyone 100% assure me that the US will be seeing Lost Planet this week, or is there a chance of a delay?

April 29 ! The Day that I kill Alot of People ( in a game lol )

RAF-TECH5924d ago

I seriously have trouble in finding the expected date.

I have high hopes for that game

RAF-TECH5924d ago

It's a good sci-fi game.

pick it up.
I've played it and it's nice to have and it's a fun adventure.

Microsoft once tried to nab LittleBigPlanet from Sony after a few drinks

It turns out that many moons ago, Microsoft once had its eye on the Sony published LittleBigPlanet series.

Microsoft had a good idea but fumbled it again.

Cacabunga4d ago (Edited 4d ago )

Project Spark idea was decent but they quickly gave up ..
LBP was wonderful

ApocalypseShadow4d ago

Microsoft in a nutshell. Always tried to poach Sony employees, games, 3rd party games and devices like the depth camera that was turned into Kinect but was running on PS2 before Xbox 360. Wouldn't be surprised they wanted LBP. Just like they worked behind the scenes pushing the MLB to bring Sony's baseball game to Xbox instead of making their own.
https://www.playstationlife...

They didn't spend years trying to develop their own baseball game. They wanted Sony's game.

They're scum.

Zachmo1824d ago

Microsoft didn't force MLB on Xbox. MLB gave Sony 2 options either go multiplat or risk losing the license.

Rynxie3d ago

And why do you think MLB said that? I believe Ms approached MLB.

ApocalypseShadow3d ago (Edited 3d ago )

Totally ridiculous comment.

The only exclusivity Sony had was to their own creation of The Show. Microsoft could have paid the MLB for the license just like Sony did and made their own baseball game.

Microsoft instead, groomed MLB for years in trying to poach Sony's game and bring it to Xbox. They're worth 3 TRILLION dollars. You think that's not enough money to make their own baseball game? Don't be delusional.

Microsoft spun it like they always do and told the media that they had to trust Sony with their hardware. After they put Sony in that position of not having a choice. Either go multiplatform or stop making one of their successful games. That's a no win scenario.

And what did Microsoft do? They didn't try to sell the game to the Xbox community. They put it on game pass to hurt Sony. Pushing the idea of why buy games that are $70 when you can play them in their cheap service for $10. It was a dirty tactic.

You fell for the Kool aid drink Microsoft served you instead of spitting it out. Hope it tasted good because you were fooled by Phil and the gang.

Xbox executive Sara Bond has told Axios that Microsoft spent a number of years trying to get MLB The Show onto Xbox consoles. And when it finally succeeded in breaking off PlayStation’s long-held exclusivity, the company had to “trust” Sony with pre-release Xbox Series X/S consoles.

Bond revealed that MLB The Show “always came up” in conversations between Microsoft and the Major League Baseball organization. “We always said, ‘We love this game. It would be a huge opportunity to bring it to Xbox.'” she recalled. However, when Microsoft’s efforts materialized, it put the company in an awkward situation where it had to send in pre-release consoles to a rival company.

Take a nap, conspiracies are rotting your brain.

Lying to yourself is unbecoming.

Article link tells you all you need to know in Sarah Bond's own words.

They were too cheap/inept/lazy to develop their own mlb game, so they port begged for years and bribed the mlb to make the show multiplatform. Like i said many times, xbox brought nothing to the table their 24 years, ZERO.

ApocalypseShadow2d ago

At least you and others get it. Note drank the Kool aid and asked for seconds thinking it was refreshing.

Most don't even know how it all played out but it's there in black and white for all to see. Microsoft brought it up for years until the MLB forced Sony's hand. It was a win win for Microsoft. Kill one reason to buy a PlayStation or kill the game by dropping it in a cheap service to kill Sony's sales numbers on PlayStation.

"However, Healey said Media Molecule wouldn't have felt right doing that, adding it would have been "morally corrupt"."

Major kudos to Media Molecule for being an upright studio with principles.

Cockney2d ago

They chose well, Sony gave them the backing to pursue their dreams with no restrictions even tho their games especially dreams have very niche appeal. Media molecule and Sony deserve respect for this in an age of risk averse publishing.

RNTody4d ago (Edited 4d ago )

Great, more stories like this please. Show the last of the zombies holding the line what we've been saying for years: Microsoft is anti competition, anti industry and has no interest in making games at all.

But hey, at least there's an Xbox Games Showcase to look forward to, right?

Inverno4d ago

Well considering SONY just killed the series, LBP would've been dead by now either way. Though MM probably wouldn't exist by now either, so I'm glad they stayed with SONY, hopefully they don't get shut down any time soon or ever honestly.

Inverno4d ago

They shut down the servers, that's millions of user created levels gone. That and dead are pretty much the same, it's also been years since 3 and they cancelled HUB soooo.

fsfsxii3d ago

They shutdown the servers because no one was playing, no one in the community cared about the user created levels so why keep them up? Wtf you guys would never succeed in running a business.

Inverno3d ago

Yea dood no one was playing so they shut off the servers. Cause people with enough common sense can't just Google why they were actually shut of, right?
