You forgot to add the possibility for disapointing final results. Sony has a really good lineup this year, but some of those could end up being duds. LIke lair and heavy rain and other games that have boasted huge promise but fell flat.

Out of the list, I would say (as far as quality) you can only guarantee good quality out of god of war, GT, uncharted, and ratchet and clank. The others aren't guaranteed, but that doesn't mean they won't be. However, there are always hyped up games that fall flat, like lair and too human.

Er, Heavy Rain isn't released yet.

....and name me all the rest of Sonys quality failures. LBP (Fantastic game), Killzone 2 (Fantastic game), Resistance 1 & 2 (Critically accliamed).

Sony as a company, are renouned for quality and as far as I see it, that continues with games

 

 

 

 I meant to say heavenly sword, but I just read the op so that was in my head.  other games would be haze, motostorm pacific rift, socom, and more but I'm not going to list them all. 

and I'm hardly an xbot people.  I own all 3 consoles and I play them all.  I'm probably just more of a realist then most of you.  Just because it has the name sony or microsoft on the package doesn't guarantee it's a good product.  Microsoft has it's fair share of failures and Nintendo does as well.  The original topic was asking if this years line up was too good to be true, I'm just throwing that possibility out there as one way it might be too good to be true.

freaking fanboys.

Motorstorm didn't fail, none of them. Socom - Ok, i'l give you that one and ofcourse Haze was BS.

Heavenly sword didn't fail either. So congrats, you have named me two proper Sony titles that have failed (lair, Socom)....not much considering how many titles they release.

 

 

ok, motorstorm pacific rift is the sequel and it did fail, both commercially and critically, so I don't know what you are smoking.  Heavenly sword is game that although it was good, did not live up to the promise.  This was the game that was suppose to be the big ps3 game when it came out.  So when it came out and only got average review scores a just over a million units sold, I would say it didn't live up to it's promise. 

again, what I'm saying these games didn't live up to their promise or hype, not that they are bad.  although most of them are, although I actually liked motorstorm and heavenly sword, that doesn't mean they lived up to their promise.

 

 

 

Heavenly Sword didn't fail. It might not have reached the sales it deserved because it was blasted by a bunch of fan boy reviewers that were still in diapers back when Dave Halverson was publishing the greatest American Videogame magazine of all time Diehard Gamefan and that had no idea what they were talking about.  However, to this day, Dave Halverson himself still says that Heavenly Sword is right up there as one of, and he usually says it is, the best games released in this gen:
