That's a weak launch line-up, IMO. Nothing there worth paying $600 to get the system to play them on.

SCEA Launch Titles:
Resistance: Fall of Man - Looks pretty good, actually, but not $600 good
NBA 07 - Isn't that out on the PS2 already?
Genji: Days of the Blade - Meh

Third-Party Publisher Titles:
Blazing Angels Squadrons of WWII / Ubisoft - Already out on 360 and XBOX, and will also be on Wii
Call of Duty 3 / Activision - Available on every other system
EA Sports Fight Night Round 3 / Electronic Arts - Already out on 360, XBOX, and PS2
The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion / Bethesda Softworks - Already available on 360 with a lot more stuff, and 360 will get the stuff in the PS3 version through the XBL marketplace
F.E.A.R. / Vivendi Universal Games - Also on 360 and PC
Full Auto 2: Battlelines / Sega - Because the first one was so good? Not.
Madden NFL 07 / Electronic Arts - Available on every system
Marvel: Ultimate Alliance / Activision - Available on other systems
Mobile Suit Gundam: Crossfire / Namco Bandai Games - OMG, it's an actual exclusive! Too bad I don't like mecha.
NBA 2K7 / 2K Sports - Already out on other systems
Need For Speed Carbon / Electronic Arts -Available on all systems
NHL 2K7 / 2K Sports - Available on other systems
Ridge Racer 7 / Namco Bandai Games - Meh
Sonic the Hedgehog / Sega - Coming out on the 360 as well if I recall correctly
Tiger Woods PGA Tour 07 / Electronic Arts - Available on other systems
Tom Clancy's Rainbow Six Vegas / Ubisoft - Coming out for 360 as well
Tony Hawk's Project 8 / Activision - Also coming out for 360, PS2, and XBOX
Untold Legends: Dark Kingdom / Sony Online Entertainment - Looks decent, but not $600 decent.
 
What kind of a launch is that? There's what? Maybe 5 exclusive games? They're nothing really to talk about in my opinion either.

Wow. What an unbiased and objective post. ::)

It's just the truth. My truth, anyway. What can I say? The only thing I would even consider would be Oblivion because of the new quest, but even that will be available on the XB360 version eventually.

But maybe I should have been a little more explanatory? I do still think there's nothing worthwhile at launch, but that doesn't mean I won't eventually get a PS3. The only thing is that the games I actually want, like Heavenly Sword and Final Fantasy XIII, are obviously not launch titles. So that's all I'm saying. You don't have to take it that way.
 
I just find it interesting that here

You're petitioning Capcom because there you want some PS2 titles to be non exclusive.

Then when there are some non exclusive PS3 titles.....you bash them.

Don't tell me this is *another* trendy anti-Sony forum? ::) :?

I think you're missing my point. Despite the harsh way I may have posted, I don't mind that games on the PS3 are available on other systems. My problem is that while many of those games are great, they aren't worth paying $600 to get a PS3, especially since I can many of those games on systems I already own. $600 is just way too much for a system with no great launch exclusives. That's my only point. Now if FFXIII was available for launch, I would be far more likely to purchase a PS3, even at $600. But it's not, so therefore, IMO, it's a weak launch. Of course, other people's opinions might vary. That's why it's opinion, not fact.

I have to admit I find it disturbing that you went all the way back to find that post. That was from November 02, 2004, you realize. So either you have a personal vendetta against me, or you have too much time on your hands. As long as you are going back through my post history, don't conveniently ignore all the times I have spoken in favor of Sony systems or games on Sony systems.

And before anyone mentions it, yes I do realize that the PS3 is also going to be available for $500. I just think that if you're going to pay an arm and a leg for a console, you might as well get the one with all the features. :D
 
I don't have a vendetta, I just did some a search for topics about game exclusives on this board and ran across that. I didn't spend hours looking for a single post to prove my point.

I think it's a weak launch too. But so is Wii's (the top launch title is a delayed GC game) and so was the 360's.

No one seems to mention that though.

And the way you went through and *sarcastically* and deliberately trashed every single PS3 game that *is* an exclusive tells me there's more to it than just simple non-interest.

I agree, which is why I will definitely be waiting for some price drops and for some really top notch games to come out before I buy any next-gen sysetm.

This is a bit of a sidenote, but I think this goes back to the idea that it's still too soon for the next-gen. Microsoft obviously jumped the gun way too early, the PS3's price makes it almost unavailable to the average consumer, and the best game for the GC is coming out the day Nintendo's new system comes out. All those things combined tells me that the last gen still had some life left in it...

That's true. But the Wii does have at least one AAA launch title with Zelda, and it's only $250 in comparison.
 
you all are are fools :lol (yes I was kidding). Metal Slug Anthology is coming out... Metal Slug 1-6 AND X all on 1 discfor $50. That is the best reason to get a Wii IMO (if you are a Metal Slug fan). I didn't see it hitting any other system. I guess being a Neo Geo fan ... I see the tremendous value in this game... seeming that I spent $350 on Metal Slug 3 Jpn alone back in 2001-2002. Metal Slug 4 and 5 were hitting near $900 for the combo for awhile. Metal Slug 6... you can't get it here in the US unless imported.... and Metal Slug X... another expensive game. IMO it is one of the BEST compilations ever. I am next pumped about Zelda on the Wii...

But here is the thing... forget the $600 price tag. There are only going to be 400,000 units available in the US... and you probably won't see a good stock of them till April or further in '07. so unless you have a pre-order... or are going to shell out big bucks on Ebay.etc... you all don't need to worry about the Ps3 launch games. By the time the stock is there... there will be more games.

I do not agree to making games for all consoles. It is cool (and there are times I wish exclusives weren't done) to have exclusives on different systems. Why? It give you a reason to want that. NOW... I don't like it when companies choose 1 system and don't try to bring cool games out for every. That sucks. But exclusives are very good for every system.

Yes, but it is a game that is also coming out on a system that is now going for under $100, and there is virtually no difference between the two. That is to say, the one AAA title for the Wii isn't even really a next-gen game...

I would go even further to contend that the PS3 has numerous AAA titles which I would love to play.

So let me get this straight.

You don't like it when companies only develop games for one system, but you do like it when companies develop exclusive to one system games?

Am I missing something here?

Numerous PS3 AAA titles at launch, or coming out in the future? I don't dispute that the PS3 will have AAA titles in its lifetime. Without a doubt it will have several must-own games, just as the PS2 does. I just don't see any at launch that are on par with a game from a franchise like Zelda. Resistance is the one launch title most likely to be a AAA title but I've been waiting two years to play Twilight Princess, so to me that's a better launch AAA game. And IMO we'll see whether it's truly next-gen when it comes out.

As for the Wii, I think Trauma Center will also be AAA but that's a topic for another forum.

Well, if your not a fan of sports games, or first person shooters, or flying games, or racing games, or arcade racing games, or role playing games, or real time fighting games, then yeah, I guess you're right, Sony's launch lineup doesn't offer much. ::)

I'm sorry, but when you say a system's launch lineup looks weak because A) It doesn't include a Zelda game, or B) the system itself actually costs money then I can't help but laugh.

To imply that games are somehow not AAA titles because they appear on other systems is also humorous. Non exclusives for the PS3 are still incentives to buy it. The fact that games like FEAR and 2K sports games are coming out on PS3 is a good thing because PS3 owners won't have to worry about missing out on some amazing third-party (albeit multiplatform) games. And yes, they are amazing games, whether or not you care for the genre you can't deny that NBA 2K7 does what it aims to do very well, simulate an NBA game. Instead of cutting down a launch lineup for boasting non-exclusive games wouldn't it make much more sense to cut down a launch lineup for not being able to boast game titles that are appearing on numerous other platforms? Providing multiplatform games gives people one less reason not to buy a PS3. A strong launch lineup should include a wide variety of games, whether they be first party, third party, exclusive, non-exclusive, whatever. And I don't really think that you can honestly say that Sony's lineup does not provide a wide assortment of gameplay.

You did miss part of what I said...

I DO WANT EXCLUSIVES FOR SYSTEMS.  It is what distinguishes systems from each other.  IF every system had the same game... What's the point of many different consoles?  

What I don't like... Systems are left out.  A company will only make games for one system... and leave them exclusive to that system.  They don't spread the talent and cool games to other systems.  Sure.. some games should be on every console.

Exception to my rule:  I ALSO THINK COMPILATIONS SHOULD BE RELEASED FOR EVERY SYSTEM!   IE if a Resident Evil compilation comes out 10 years later...  mega man compilations... etc.
