PS3 Fanboy 's "PS3 games to look for in 2009"

PS3 Fanboy Writes 2008 was "The Year of the PS3?" Pfft. "Excuse us, but even PS3's fantastic 2008 library won't be able to compete with the likes of 2009. In one year, you'll see the likes of Killzone 2, Uncharted 2 and Heavy Rain. And there's tons of other exclusives, PlayStation Network titles, and third party titles that are bound for the system. (And to think, there are still games that haven't been revealed yet!)

The following list includes games that are currently scheduled for a 2009 release. However, as was the case in 2008, some of these games may stumble into delays. The list is broken up in order, with PS3 exclusives coming first. (And boy, are there a lot!)

talk about a stellar lineup and its still things that not even announced yet

LightningPS3PS35605d ago (Edited 5605d ago )

with all those games, and double the price of the XBOX 360, who knows Maybe PS3 will only get outsold slightly by XBOX 360 in 2009.

When is Sony gonna stop shooting the PS3 in foot with this extra price? Just because of F*cken blu ray, who no gamer gives a sh*t about, meanwhile XBOX 360 just takes all the gamers.

It's just hard to watch.

December NPD will be like 1500k to 600k,

I hope it's even worse than that, because Sony deserves a whooping, they need a reality check. Either start competing in the gaming market or drop out. Its embarrassing for me to go to the stores and buy PS3 games, everyone looks at you like you're crazy. I don't blame them. Who buys a PS3? Only hardcore Playstation fans who don't value money.

Grooski5605d ago

Since when is the sales of a console spoiling your game time? Look at that list of exclusive games in 2009. Then look at the list of third party releases in 2009, all but a few are coming to PS3. Look at the number of Blu-ray titles due for release next year. If you can't find at least a half dozen reasons not to be looking forward to this years offerings, you are not a gamer and should hand in your f*cking badge and gtfo.

Seriously, if you are THAT concerned about sales figures, buy an X360 and see the grass aint that greener.

Better sales doesn't mean better experience. Three RRODs later - my lesson learnt.

Powertesties5605d ago

without a doubt 2009 is the year of the ps3!
It's got the games and the features to take 2nd place.

Or is it 1st? The Wii doesn't count as a real game console does it?

Panthers5605d ago

Lightening, you are a sad excuse for a gamer. All of these games and you worry about sales figures. As long as games keep coming out, I dont give a f*ck about sales.

The PS3 is a value for what you get. When PS2 came out, I thought I would never need DVD. Now look. The same can be said for blu-ray in about 4-7 years.

Stop it with the "year of the..." crap. I don't care, just give me the good games. I don't need you to tell me the year, a calendar does that job just perfectly.

FYI, its 2009 (year of the ox, according to the Chinese).

UnSelf5605d ago

LMAO that was hilarious bubbles + ((ahem) no pun intended)

Bob Dole5605d ago

It's the year of Bob Dole.... get ready.

peedie165606d ago

the PS3 should have another good year

MURKERR5605d ago (Edited 5605d ago )

with the price cut, the amazing lineup for 2009 which i know must make you a little green, it'll be ANOTHER amazing year for ps3 owners,but look on the bright side you got the multiplats to look forward to ;)

killzone next month people cant frigging believe it

pixelsword5605d ago

*pulls out newly-purchased peanuts*

Tasty!

Ninja-Sama5605d ago

The quality and the sheer amount of titles is staggering. It's safe to say I won't be able to purchase them all :(

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.

Cacabunga2d ago (Edited 2d ago )

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

ApocalypseShadow2d 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.

Zachmo1822d ago

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

Rynxie1d 16h ago

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

ApocalypseShadow1d 15h ago (Edited 1d 15h 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.

Lying to yourself is unbecoming.

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

Hereandthere1d 7h ago

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.

ApocalypseShadow17h 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.

Cockney11h 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.

RNTody2d ago (Edited 2d 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?

Inverno2d 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.

Inverno2d 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.

fsfsxii1d 12h 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.

Inverno1d 11h 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?
