Forums - Gaming - Who here believes that 09 PS3 line up is even better than 08?

Not to be an asshole, but for all we know Heavy Rain is just a tech demo, Star Ocean and Getaway aren't exactly top-rate games, and there's no way to know when GoW3, and Team ICO's new game come out.

Of course promising in stuff like this really means "coming to my console", so we might have an unbridgeable gap in the way we perceive things here. =P

God of War 3 has been announced for 2009. Team ICO hasn't put out a game since 2005, so it's logical to assume that their next game will be announced at either E3 or TGS, with a mid to late '09 release planned. Star Ocean is pretty big in Japan, but yeah, the Getaway just sucks.

Heavy Rain is NOT just a tech demo, and they said at the very beginning that they were aiming for a Fall '08 release (and thus far nothing has surfaced signifying a change in plans, aside from the dropping of the PC and 360 latforms, which should have only sped up development).

Either way its more stacked than the 360's 08 and 09 lineup combined.

lol. Right. Things have changed in the last 6 months buddy. Games got delayed etc. The 360's 2008 line-up is now easily comparable to the PS3's, more diverse, and some would argue, better.

Hey now. You can have the first but the last two are subjective. I think the PS3/360 match up well genre to genre though. Some people consider Bioshock and Call of Duty all the diversity they need enough though they are in the same genre.

Certainly you can't which is better, b/c many games have yet to come out and near have a lot to prove! (ex. Fable 2, Too Human, Banjo Kazooie 3, White Knight Story, Heavy Rain, Killzone 2, etc.)

Lol, tell the bolded part to Dabaus and Spartan.

Of course everything I typed was subjective, but there is certainly no longer a reasonable argument for those that believe the PS3's 2008 line-up blows away the 360's.

Lets examine the titles you just listed and their chances of being good.

Fable 2:  First game scored high, previews at and since GDC were all very good, innovative Co-op and AI.

Too Human:  New IP, could go either way.  Started out with poor previews a year ago, now they are all good.

Banjo Kazooie 3:  First two were AAA or close, this game is being made by the original team.

WKS:  Only limited information on this game.  Could go either way, repetitive looking combat (though that holds for all JRPG's).

Heavy Rain:  Know nothing, there has only been a tech demo.

Killzone 2:  The first game was a shocker, this game has faced fake movies, delays, rumours of mediocrity and budget blowouts. 

 



starcraft - Playing Games = FUN, Talking about Games = SERIOUS

I find it odd that many of these games were listed as why the PS3's line-up was going to be "the best" in 2007, then (when they were delayed) the PS3's line-up was going to be "great" in 2008, and now these games are what will make 2009 so fantastic ...



god of war 3 > anything, even a ps4

I think so. 2008 was going to be the year of the PS3 until the games were delayed to 2009. Now the games (FF, GT, GoW3 etc) are all coming in 2009. So I agree with your thread.

Domination delayed.

 There's still a ton of games coming to the PS3 this year that are gonna rock.

one thing to starcraft:

you keep mentioning metacritics score

but any human with a brain that goes through the metacritics reviews, will see some UNknown websites which reviewed the game,,and there is a high possibility that MS moneyhats those unknown websites to do a bad review for competitors and good reviews for their games(unfortunately it's true ).Also their own bias plays a big deal on how they review the games,,and simce most of them are US based I can easily see how they do not like PS3 as of now(look at the 360 user base here). so their metacritics review means nothing to me .So stop with the metacritics as it does not do justice of how good a game is

I know using their numbers works better for your false claims ,,but it's BS

The only website I accept is IGN and that's it ,,so we can argue about their reviews but not a bunch of website I ve never heard or know if they have even played the game or not.



 

 

 

Star Ocean 4 and to a lesser extent, FF13, are the only things worth anything on that list. Not really a bad thing though, Star Ocean > all

There is just as high a possibility Sony moneyhats those sites.  Lets not forget Sony snuck DRM into CD's without telling people, and made laptop batteries that blow up.  Don't pretend they are ethically untouchable.

But I just want you to remember forever something you said here.

"I know using their numbers works better for your false claims."  You just admitted that an aggregate score website works better for the 360 than the PS3.  I want you to always remember that.

You always do this.  Killzone 2 has never been delayed.
