Forums - Gaming Discussion - Wait. Games of Quarter 1 2009 belongs to?

I have heard the Sony Fanboys claiming that their lineup is going to destroy the 360 in 2009 and that Microsoft have no games left.

Well, I just peeked through the list of comfirmed release from Jan - April of 2009 and the 360 totally kicked the PS3.

note*  all release dates are based on Gamestop as of 12/5/08.

Of course everyone is saying that Killzone 2 will be the best game in Gods Green Earth and I agreed but what other exclusives are there for PS3 in the first quarter?

The xbox 360 will have 4 exclusives all of which are different genre to fill in the gap nicely.

1. Halo Wars releasing on 2/2/09 (trust me, with the addition of 3 Halo 3 maps on the CE, it will sell well over the million mark)

2. Ninja Blade 2/3/09 (great for the action Ninja Gaiden / DMC Fans

3. Star Ocean Last Hope 3/3/09 (great RPG series and will no doubt be one of the finest RPG of this generation)

4. Last but not least is the GTA4 DLC (I know it is just an expansion pack but it is GTA and it will be huge).

Also don't forget forget the Triple Treat from Capcom (SF4, RE5, and Bionic Commando) will be Multi-platform and will be huge sellers as well (at least the first 2).

I will no doubt get KZ2 (unless it is HAZE all over agin, seems highly unlikely) but what I am trying to say is that there are alot of dellusional people that keep saying that the 360 has no more games after 2008; what else do they have left after Gears 2; PS3 2009 lineup will destoy...etc..etc.

I know 2009 will finally have the great games that PS3 owners like myself are waiting for but the Xbox also have great exclusives as well. Also, as we all know from Gears 2 last year, Microsoft will wait till the time is right to announced something big to build up hype for them. No, I don't think Halo Recon was it, it will be something bigger ( I hope anyway)

Let me get this straight. Looking at the title it seems you are answering to a previous thread, which is not the case... I mean, there was the '5 graphical powerhouses PS3' and then '5 graphical powerhouses X360'...
Oh well. Let the flames get high.



 

 

 

 

 

Did you read my Post?
I am talking about the exclusive games that will be released From Jan - April og 2009.



PS3 will always have the best ever games coming out, accoridng to people on this site. Apprantly it ran away with the title of "best line up for 2008" done jack shit for its sales this christmas though hasn't it?



 

Ninja Blade?!?

All we've seen is cutscenes and the game is developed by From Software, not a game that should be used to showcase the 360's lineup. It would be just as bad for a PS3 owner to hype up Demon Soul.

 do u only enjoy games that get highest sales or do u enjoy best games regardless? lol



...not much time to post anymore, used to be awesome on here really good fond memories from VGchartz...

PSN: Skeeuk - XBL: SkeeUK - PC: Skeeuk

really miss the VGCHARTZ of 2008 - 2013...

Star Ocean 4: The Last Hope
Halo Wars
Ninja Blade
The Lost and Damned


Versus

Killzone 2


Pretty easy.
Owning both consoles, I have to say Xbox 360 owns Q1 2009.



     

My Gaming Setup

Ninja Blade is hardly a proven game. It should not be listed. Is Halo Wars confirmed for a February release? I thought it was later... probably am wrong though. GTA DLC is not an expansion pack, it is smaller than that...

Star Ocean 4 is the only big hitter. Personally I don't like any of the previous SO, so it is not for me. But then again, I don't like FPS, so Killzone 2 is not for me either.

I am pretty sure there is more than just Killzone 2 for the PS3 though. Heavy Rain and Infamous are supposed to be early 2009 titles. 

EDIT: PS3 also might have White Knight Chronicles and Wardevil in Q1 2009. So I would say its pretty even. Just based on personal tastes I would go for the PS3. WHC looks f***ing ace!



Don't forget that Resident Evil 5 runs on Unreal Engine3, so the natural choice is Xbox360.

Unreal Engine + PC architecture = natural match.

After all the PS3 bugs and glitch from Unreal Engine 3, I don't take any chance: I always pick UE3 games on my 360 instead of my PS3.



     

My Gaming Setup

I am just talking of exclusive games not so much og the quality yet. Hell, Ninja Balde could become the next Ninja Gaiden if the reviews are good and HK2 might be scoring in the low 80s.

We don't know yet but I am talking about just the exclusives that are availble for the first 4 months of 2009 and the xbox seems to have alot more coming than just one from Sony.
