Seems to me that half of its 08 lineup will become its 09 lineup.. what happened to Haze?? delayed to march 08? littlebigplanet?? was supposed to be january 08 remember... now im hearing august... L.A. Noire delayed to 09.. MGS4 delayed all the way to june and i still doubt it will make that date... killzone 2?? who knows they havent even released a beta yet... what im getting at here is it seems that most of the games people are waiting for including myself dont come out til the 2nd half of the year or got delayed to the 2nd half of the year or beyond..... this time last year i had some pretty good games to keep me playing my 360... maybe im just ranting or maybe waiting for all these so called make or break games is getting annoying... whatever the case maybe delayed games dont equal great 2008 lineup....

your forgetting games like infamous, echochrome, and the others. As for your comment on Killzone 2, its apparent from previews that the game has a 99.9% chance of being better then all console FPSs released to date.


I'd be shocked if Imfamous came out in 08. I'd think we'd of heard some new news by now if so.

Dude, I understand your rant. And I follow the same kind of annoyance about what Sony is doing.

Seriously, I have no clue where their management lies in priorities if they keep delaying games.

And there's no joke about it. What the fuck is Sony doing?

I'm betting that they underestimated the resources needed for "next gen" games. It could be as simple as not budgeting enough time for developers, or even the tools/system making things difficult.

It could also be that they are sinking money into time consuming and relatively unimportant features. Heavenly Sword cost 20 million, yet its relatively short. It seems that most of this money went to mo-cap, 7.1 audio and the like. Now all those things are nice, but they also cost plenty and surely add to the development time, all the while they are some features that aren't going to be noticed by most consumers (7.1) and really don't help sell games.

Some of those games you mentioned have never even had a release date. They had soft time frames. For LBP, all they said "hopefully early 2008"...yeah that's reassuring. Sites like IGN take stabs at release dates for when they think it will be released.

Actually Phil Harrison said LBP would hit by the end of 2007 when it was first shown off at GDC.

Not to worry, the date got pushed back mostly because MGS4 has a worldwide release, which means the usual 3-6 month post-production work (dubbing, language customization) is being done ahead of time. It should be released by summer of 2008 at the latest, though -- Ryan Payton's KojiPro podcast has lots of details about the production schedule. They're doing lots of refining and tweaking, but the basic engine is there, so there are no major hitches which might derail the release.

DMC3 is looking sweet. I just hope they matched the action with a decent storyline.

He said the beta would hit by the end of '07.

Either way he was wrong.

People also said Sony's 2007 line up was unbeatable too, I can't say for certain the 2008 line up will also dissapoint, but if past experience is any indicator people's assertion's of Sony's future games should only be taken with a grain of salt.

The ps3's line up will kick serious ass.

Definite '08 releases that will definitely kick ass:

MGS4
Tekken 6

Definite '08 releases that will probably kick ass:

White Knight Story
Haze
Disgaea 3
Socom: Confrontation
LittleBigPlanet


Probable '08 releases that will definitely kick ass:

GT5

Probable '08 releases that will probably kick ass:

Killzone 2
Infamous
Wardevil

Then of course there's the multiplats like GTAIV and DMC4.
