Forums - Sony - PS3’s lineup for ‘09 too good to be true?

gergroy on 11 April 2009

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

      Heavy Rain hasn't boasted huge promise and fell flat yet.

     And actually most of the games that do are on 360.  Ninja Gaiden II, Too Human, Infinite Undiscovery, The Last Remnant, probably Alan Wake and ODST in comparison to past Halo games.

Guy must be blitzed. Anyway, OT, Heavy Rain hasn't even been hyped much yet (Although CGI tries his best )

Is anyone else here worried that for all these titles to make 2009, they'll have to be released in close proximity at the few last months of the year... just like last year?

Even if those games aren't released in 2009, but are, instead released in 2010, it won't make a difference. We are getting those games nonetheless

MAG: Shadow War - This game just seems to be another FPS with a new gimmick that will entice many. I1st off, it has all kinds of explosions and 2nd, it boasts an online multiplayer mode that features 256 players!

White Knight Chronicles - Please let there be something announced for E3! this game is complete and only needs to be localized. So my logic tells me…….that there will be a release date announced at E3. End of story.

 

So MAG is a gimmicky FPS since its getting 256 players online and has "explosions"?? While your extremely excited for an average looking JRPG. I guess your not a fan of FPS.

Anyone who like FPS's and has a PS3 is extremely excited for MAG and your playing it down as an average, gimmick FPS? Sorry that just bothers me.

 

But as for the rest of the list nice job compiling all the good games that will be out in 2009 and maybe 2010.

 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.

 No.  Just look at the PS2's holiday lineup in 2001.  Devil May Cry, Jak and Daxter:  The Precursor
Legacy, Metal Gear Solid 2, GTA III, Baldur's Gate:  Dark Alliance, Final Fantasy X, ICO all released within a few weeks of each other and look how things turned out as a result of that.
