Why does everyone think MAG is coming out in 2009? According to Wikipedia, the official release is Quarter 3, 2009, which is, like, now, or at least in the next 3 months. And I haven't heard anything MAG related from E3. You would think that if a major first party shooter was due out in the next 6 months, they'd have at least mentioned it in the press conference.


word of advice: watch press conference/inform yourself better before making yourself look totally ridiculous in a forum.

 

ot: E3 is not esentially about annoucing X-mas lineups... They have White Knight Chronicles this year, as well as Demons' Souls and other new games for PS3 like Tales of Vesperia, Ninja Gaiden Sigma 2, Uncharted 2...MAG is coming before the holiday, of course. I don't think we're close to X-mas yet, are we? why don't we wait at least for the summer to (start) and end before talking about X-mas exclusives?

For me: Uncharted 2 > every MS exclusive announce at E3. Maybe that's just me, that's my taste and that will keep me busy and entertained for quite a while, I don't care for FPS (I don't care for MAG, L4D 2, or Halos) and Forza 3 looks nice, but I know I'll be getting the best there will be and I'm not in much of a hurry for petty racing games. I may give Dirt 2 a try if it's out this year, though, but nothing I'm looking forward too. Now GT5, that's like the Final Fantasy of Racing games to me.

I realize in retrospect I did miss the very beginning of the conference, and must have not seen that bit. My bad.



Wii has more 20 million sellers than PS3 has 5 million sellers.

WKC was announced for Q1 2010 yesterday so it's off 2009 list now.



MikeB predicts that the PS3 will sell about 140 million units by the end of 2016 and triple the amount of 360s in the long run.

MAG - Holiday 2009
R & C - Holiday 2009
Uncharted 2 - Holiday 2009
Demon's Souls - Holiday 2009

Uncharted 2 only, lol, no.

 

Demon's Souls is actually Fall 2009, says so at the end of the E3 trailer.

This is why

http://www.gamespot.com/news/6175813.html

the game is from a deal they struck nearly 2 years ago

Also, the PS3 still has Uncharted 2, R&C, MAG, NG2:Sigma, Last Rebellion and Demon's Soul this Fall/Winter. They're also pushing hard to get GT5 out for a Holiday release.

it's highly unlikely because

1. They only showed a trailer and the game is not even playable at E3 this year.

2. Since GT PSP has a target release date set at 10/01/2009, it would be more likely for them to ensure GT PSP to hit that deadline before they can put their effort back in GT5.

I would say right now Uncharted 2 and new R&C game are the big guns for PS3 holiday this year. MAG is still an unknown.

I was just basing that off these comments

Eurogamer: "I appreciate you're not here today to talk about GT5, but is there anything you can say about how development's going?"

Kazunori Yamauchi: "I want to release it as fast as I can, but GT5 for us, when you talk about its status, it's at a point we can release it any time we want, but we can always keep working on it. It's very important for us to make sure everything is done perfectly and everything is done in detail."

and

"As for Gran Turismo 5, we haven’t released an official date, but we’re trying to get that out this calendar year, so it could be a holiday game as well." (Matt Levitan head of SCE Canada)

It actually starts Dec.21s! Ha! (in the North Hemisphere anyway)

But generally when they list Fall, they mean September/October, and for Holiday they list November/December.



So they still have a good line-up for the end of this year.

What I find crazy is look at how many exclusives they are releasing in Spring 2010. GOW3, Heavy Rain, maybe GT5 ( if it doesn't release in late 2009), WKC, maybe FFXIII (not exclusive but who cares).

That is a lot to pack into Spring/Early Summer.



- Gt 5
- Uncharted 2
- MAG
- Ratchet



Probably the tastiest part of the Killzone Cocktail is the Multiplayer. Imagine if Call Of Duty 4 and Team Fortress 2 had a baby, which they then abandoned and as a result had to learn a few new tricks to survive. That’s what Killzone Multiplayer is like.  

LOL

2010 is the year of the ps3 confirmed
