TGS: Tonnes of new PS3 media

BlitzKrieg

resistence is by the makers of ratchet and clank right?

Isnt that owned by sony now?

hairball

not sure on that one, but they seem to make good games, so it's looking good for resistance to be a killer fps, if your suspiscions are correct about them being owned by sony well it may mean it's a ps3 exclusive and will stay that way, ah well i can always play it on the gf's brothers ps3(cos he's absolutley sure to get one:))

interesting.

All three companies are pretty much sony playstation exclusive. except red dog which has been around since before the playstation (and has had people who were involved in the original sonic series.) explains alot.

But yeah very much doubt this showing up anywhere else but the Ps3.

unless the console flops (unlikely) which would be interesting just to see where all the developers would go?

sonic the hedgehog = multiplatform
full auto 2 = multiplatform
FEAR = multiplatform
Rainbow six = multiplatform.

For sure, (although FA2 won't be on any other system this year), but I was thinking of all the higher profile games in that list be they multiplatform or not, asides from "the rest" which you can expect to fill out the list.

The Japanese day one list isn't very indicative of what you'll see in the US (or Japan, for that matter) by the end of the year, at all.

By the time the euro launch swings round, you'll have all that stuff + hopefully a few new key games like VF5, Heavenly Sword, Assassin's Creed (multi), Virtua Tennis, first PS3 Eyetoy game, Singstar, Ninja Gaiden Sigma (in Japan at least) + a bunch of other lower profile games. I think they're going to have to stagger those releases for Europe, though, because there'd be too much good stuff all hitting at the same time. But the system is region free, so importing will be very easy if some of these games take longer to arrive here.

Sort of put off resistence now. i thought it was only half way or so through development and more was going to be add to it, but if its 2 months (less now) from launch, then the videos i'm seeing are it (from TGS) and doesnt seem that big of a deal.

They've been working on this game for a long long time now. They haven't shown all their cards, and won't before it launches. Some people who've played the game just before TGS said they saw a lot more that Insomniac is keeping under wraps, most of it even more impressive than what they're allowed to show publically. They've announced a lot regarding multiplayer too, but apparently there are still more multiplayer modes and so on that they're keeping secret for now. It's a very big package, and we're only seeing bits of it. Once reviews hit, you'll see people's takes on the full finished product.

And yeah, technically Insomniac is independent, but they have a very cosy relationship with Sony. Sony is also their publisher on all their games, and owns the IP, so you won't be seeing their games show up on other platforms.

i've read up about resistence, I know about the 5 announced multiplayer modes and the 2 secret ones and all that jazz. I'm just saying that how the game looks and seems to play in the movies I thought it was due another 6 months work there about. But it should in theory be finished by now if it wants to make the deadline. Soo from what I am seeing right now, I'm not really that excited.

I named out those games as multiplatform because when you named them earlier you structured the sentance as '(the above named games) and the multiplatform stuff from so and so etc' which gives the impression that they were PS3 exclusives which they are not.

But the system is region free, so importing will be very easy if some of these games take longer to arrive here.

you sure its proper region free, and not the cope out region free the x360 and wii have (the console's region free, but publishers can put region encoding on it if they want.)

It seems it's properly region free. We'll see when it launches, but everything that's been said sofar indicates every PS3 game will play on every system regardless of region, but Blu-ray movies will be region-locked. Apparently they're moving that way in light of the PSP and the emergence of global HDTV standards. They even want eventually to move in the direction of having one single release of a game worldwide - one common disc with all languages etc. But that, the global SKU, that's an optional thing for publishers obviously.

Depends what territory you're looking at. Virtua Tennis is Spring next year, as is Virtua Fighter 5.

The launch games I know of..well, there's a lot coming in 06. Resistance, Motorstorm, Genji, Formula One Championship Edition, Ridge Racer 7, Sonic The Hedgehog, Fatal Inertia, GT:HD (in Japan at least), Rainbow Six: Vegas, that Gundam game, Armored Core 4 (in Japan), Full Auto 2, F.E.A.R. and a bunch of the usual multiplatform stuff you can expect from EA/Activision/Ubi-soft etc. In total I think I heard somewhere that there's over 30 titles that are candidates for 06, but the schedule isn't finalised yet. I'd say toward the end of October we'll get a final list.

it's a good list compared to PS2, or even xbox360 (imo). however us Europeans, despite a horrendous wait for the thing, will have the best launch line-up in history. we'll also get the benefit of reviews for games to see what's good/muck.

i'm hoping the Europe launch neatly slots into the release of UT07

nah. affiliated, but not owned. at e3 they made a point of saying they're indipendent, and "want" to work on ps3.

How much time exactly? When is the game being released?

Well the OP labelled the pic as [noparse]HD:premium[/noparse], which is pretty much GT5, which isn't out until 2008.

jesus_thats_gre

Thats not premium, its the GT: Classic or whatever you call it.

The one where you have to buy everything seperate? Gonna be the most expensive game ever if you want a decent selection.
