PS3 launch games (and other things)

Crap... Looks like I might be getting PS3 at launch then

Well, I guess it depends if its worth getting PS3 for those titles or if its better to get them on X360.

 

Lair
Motorstorm
John Woo's Stranglehold
Tekken
Sonic The Hedgehog: Resistance
Rainbow Six: Vegas
Untold Legends: Dark Kingdom

thats all I will get maybe sonic. Dang I wanted gundam to be a launch title.

 

a new tekken at launch? sounds good to me!

 

Got the Lik Sang April newsletter e-mailed to me this morning


[FONT=Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif][/FONT][FONT=Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif](1) PlayStation 3 Update: Region Free for Games. Worldwide Launch. Price Point Revealed?[/FONT]
[FONT=Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]
Back in January we talked about how the PS3 may be region free, and a couple of weeks ago importers across the globe threw their hands in the air as exactly that was announced; no region-lock on PlayStation 3! Recently Sony also confirmed that the launch has been delayed though, but with a new date of November Sony are planning for free multiplayer online gaming, a larger hard drive pre-installed with Linux, 100% backwards compatibility, downloadable full-songs, movies, games and more. They're also aiming for an almost simultaneous worldwide launch, which as Microsoft can testify too, is one hell of a challenge. Knowing how bad the 360 and even DS Lite shortages were, the sooner you get your commitment free PS3 Pre-Order in the better. Here you can also read up on all the details to come out of the press conference, check out the full PS3 schedule for this year, and get the latest goss on the price, which will be no less than 50,000 yen (US$ 427 or 354 Euros).

A Next Gen Sonic Game ?

KICK ASS

 

I wish Stores were allowing Pre Orders My Gamestop or EB Games wont do them until about 8 Weeks before release

 

That's pretty good

 

That's to prevent what happened to us with the 360 happening again with the PS3. And rest assured, depending on the price, it's not only going to be a similar situation, but possibly a hell of a lot worse.

 

OH MAN THAT launch line up is kind of sweet to me, however I'm dissapointed Resistance Fall of Man isn't on there

 

That launch line up looks like crap

 

Nothing particularly grabbing me there. I would be excited about Sonic, but its no secret how much the franchise has fallen since genesis. This is exactly why God of War should be a launch instead of a PS2 sequel.

 

Thats obvious & a good & bad thing at the same time

 

I'll get Untold Legends is it has a story. Unlike the PSP game's.

 

Not a great launch there, but I never expected one to be honest. Tekken is the only game I'd look into. I won't be getting mine at launch. I'll wait a year or so for a price drop and a better variety of games.

 

Meh, a so-so lineup.

Good thing I wasn't planning on buying this thing until next year anyway.

 

Exactly, Sonic has become the family pet that you have had for years and is starting to crap on the carpet, he should be put down but you just don't have the heart to do it. Sonic the Hedgehog has gone the way of Crash Bandicoot and Spyro the Dragon.

Yes, God of War 2: Divine Retribution should have been a Playstation 3 launch title instead of a Playstation 2 sequel, maybe Sony will smarten up and pull a Nintendo and delay the game and have it come out for the Playstation 3 launch instead (just like Nintendo is doing for the Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess).

However, this is not a full launch title list. Expect other games such as Splinter Cell: Double Agent, Resistance: Fall of Man, Unreal Tournament 2007, and others to join the list. However from the looks of it so far, I am not getting a Playstation 3 at launch. I'll wait for Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots to come out or another killer app.

It looks like the Playstation 3 launch line-up will be as mediocre as the line-up for the Xbox 360 so far. Still a wait and see, but I don't have my hopes high for it. It looks like the only console that will have an amazing launch line-up will be the Revolution with games like the Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess, Metroid Prime 3, Super Smash Bros. Revolution, Super Mario 128, Red Steel, etc.

 

To be fair, we dont really know what games are launch for Revo. The only really confirmed exclusive launch title is Red Steel. I wouldnt be surprised if Smash or Prime 3 are delayed. But honestly, why are they still putting so much support for the PS2 crowd? I can understand why, but God of War? Thats a big time heavy hitter and would have been perfect for launch. Its a shame too, but I guess it works out in the end for me. Wont have to spend $500 soon.

 

Zelda is goin' to the Revolution?!

 

the Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess is still a Gamecube game but the reason why it was delayed for the Revolution launch is so they could add features to the game to be used only on the Revolution.

So if you don't have a Revolution, don't fret, you'll still be able to play the game. If you do, you'll be able to enjoy the game even more.

 

I heard that at one Sony press confrence the guy said they were planning on releasing 230 games at launch! and he did it with such a stern face and no trace of sarcasm. Do you think they will say something at E3 about this, hell they don't even have 230 games!

 

Rainbow Six Vegas looks hella tight!!

 

That would never happen for any system.

 

Well what if Sony was actually planning on doing it? I mean I think that would be pretty sweet to like hear at E3 here are the games we are releasing and finding out that its a crap load. If you go to Gamespot they had orders for PS3 games and they all say they are coming out on October 1st which is kind of werid since PS3 doesn't come out until november but they are releasing the blurray dvds right now with nothing to play them on so maybe they are using this tactic for PS3.

 

Personally I think the PS3 line up so far looks alot better than 360s, that system only had four good games at laucnh Perfect Dark, Call of Duty, Quake 4 and Condemned.
