Worldwide PlayStation 3 releases for the week of June 25th

Quite a well populated list. There's no real way anyone can complain about this week's releases. Unless you're a European The Darknees fan. Don't forget, though. If there's a game that's only available in another region, then feel free to import it. Your PlayStation 3 won't care. Release dates are subject to constant change, so give your local game shop a ring before walking down there.

Double Agent and Vegas were fun on 360. Its nice they are releasing both versions of Darkness at the same time. And Harry Potter WTH

[socomnick]

Judging by screen shots the ps3 version of double agent is horrible looking. Vegas and darkness I think are identical to the xbox360 version.

[Torch]

and it really doesn't look that bad so far...with the exception of some inexcusable stuttering/chopiness during some cutscenes, and muddy-like water (which makes it very difficult to see/navigate through.)

Otherwise, the in-game graphics generally look a lot nicer than they're perceived to be...perhaps not 'DA 360' quality, but not too shabby nonetheless.

One other thing I feel I should advise: The load times are just atrocious...even the routine and obligatory in-game-saves take a painfully long time.

[ShiftyLookingCow]

saving in game was like waiting in hell but I still enjoyed the game. I think framerate is only real issue with ps3 version but then DA is not paced too fast like UT

[Bloodmask]

The Darkness doesn't suffer from poor framerates on the PS3 version. Maybe the developers have finally come to grips with the PS3 hardware.

[Torch]

I think you're referring primarily to Ubisoft, whose 360>>>>PS3 ports have been a little rough around the edges. Otherwise, there are a number of ported titles out there which have often been described as equal to - or better - than the 360 original (Fight Night Round 3, Oblivion, etc.)

And judging from what I've been hearing about PS3's version of Vegas, it sounds like Ubisoft does indeed have the ability to release good quality ports.

I thought that double agents was already out. how is it that at work we had 3 copies of it and never saw it again I thought it just wasn't popular so thats why we stoped selling it. so they must of made so final touches to the game hopefully it's looks better .

[Violater]

Darkness and Sigma will hold me until.....
I fear though that the PS3 version will suffer from more of the port drawbacks.

[ImWithStupid]

I thought i was going nuts for second, but it seems that the previous release turned into a MAJOR OOPS for Ubisoft as the title clearly had some MAJOR problems....lol

poor UBisoft, maybe they should try to hire someone away from team ninja or inhouse from sony development cause they are clearly getting their ass handed to them by the PS3 architecture.

[Eidolon]

I didn't know there was ps3 the darkness footage or even a developer interview on it.. are you guys making crud up?

[techie]

The PS3 version of The Darkness was at Sony Gamer's Day...there was a stack of footage from there, new information about the game and all reports saying it looked very good and identical to any 360 footage they had seen. SO put that in your pipe and smoke it.

[Bathyj]

You guys wouldn't know this but, Hyper magazine (Australia's equivilant of Famitsu) previewed the PS3 version of Darkness and said it look great. The texture work was some of the best they'd ever seen, bordering on photo realisim and given how good Riddick looked on Xbox I dont doubt it. Shame about the delay. I could get the Xbox version but I will wait for the PS3 instead. 3 weeks wont kill me, I just got Tenchu and Forza anyway.

Hey Deep. We dont see you much since you got a PS3.

[closedxxx]

I won't be buying any of the Tom Clancy titles for the PS3 because I already own them for the 360. Does anyone know how the other games stack up against the 360 version? Any advantages to getting the PS3 version?
I'll probably get the 360 version anyhow because I'm kinda addicted to achievements :-(

[sony4life]

splinter cell DA has been out in the US for a while so why is it on here?

[sonarus]

so ubisoft is re releasing it with better quality or what. I finished it already on ps3 and returned it, but if the quality is better i might jst take another look at it still have my saved data anyway

[solidt12]

From what I have heard. The Darkness is not a port. The both versions were developed for each console, and Sigma was developed just for the PS3 and takes advantage of the hardware.

[Double-Edged]

you guys will love VEGAS... Especially terrorist hunt with a friend.

Double Agent?.... ummm.. no so much unless your looking at Splinter Cell: conviction

But yes.... Darkness will be sweet.. There are already reviews.

To be honest. I've played RFOM on my brothers PS3.... and he told me after he played vegas on my 360.... he doesnt like RFOM as much.

So get ready for Vegas PS3 fans

[1337 gamer]

i got vegas for my 360 so i wont be getting it for my ps3, im happy with RFOM and IMO its better than vegas.

[Chemical]

Vegas > RFOM

Vegas is just crazy.

RFOM got boring after. Vegas has a wide variety of co-op/multi-player modes.

Vegas FTW!!

[lil bush]

hello my fellow americans, as of next week the playstation 3 will get some good titles, almost better than my favorite tacos so im giving the ps3 for this week a green light, so sony better keep it up or not the terrorist win.....

ive got the talking points nailed

[DiLeCtioN]

i think am feeling that game the visuals and gameplay look stunning and also i heard we are getting more content, two game modes i think who knows.

[Bathyj]

If anyone hasn't played Vegas, get it. Its awesome. I cant speak for the PS3 version but on Xbox is great. I felt sorry for this game because it came up against Gears of War and was overshadowed but is a vastly superior game. Less gung ho but more tactics orientated and the cover system is a lot better too. You dont find yourself sticking to walls when unwanted or doing a dive roll across a doorway when you just meant to press up to the jamb. You team mate are really useful as well and you can always tackle any room 2 or 3 different ways. That what I like about this game so much.

and here is how the PS3 is doing http://www.youtube.com/watc...

I still wonder if PS3 version of Darkness uses the more space in Blu-ray for more movies and TV shows for in-game TVs.
