Wipeout HD is looking to be a whole lot of fun.
I'm not even good at racing games and I still played this series since the first one. Great visuals and great soundtracks.
Maverick Saturn @ May 16th 2008 10:50AM
Damn right :) Vids look impressive, I must say
NATO_Duke @ May 16th 2008 10:25AM
Should be a good fall!
velocitystrike @ May 16th 2008 1:24PM
That was epic.
SoCoolCurt (PSN: KillaKornbread) @ May 17th 2008 2:14AM

Sorry that was me wiping the drool off my keyboard. What a freakin list, and this is JUST 1st party stuff. Yikes, how Am I going to tell my wife I got her a Cubic Zarconia ring for christmas so I could be LBP?
JonFitt @ May 16th 2008 11:34AM
Looks ok.
aBs @ May 16th 2008 10:28AM
Uh not really... It feels they had to include Killzone 2 because the rest of the list sucks.
GOW2, NINJA GAIDEN 2, TOO HUMAN FOR THE MOTHERFUCKING WIN.
Vidikron (FU) @ May 16th 2008 10:29AM
Fuck off
FOXHOUND @ May 16th 2008 10:31AM
... -switches the official thread coffee pot to 'decaf'-
FOXHOUND @ May 16th 2008 10:35AM
Those are nice games too(except for NG. Can't say I'm a fan of the series past NGII on NES).
See? It's okay to enjoy multiple consoles. All are welcome. All are weeeeeelcome. @_@
Victus @ May 16th 2008 10:36AM
Stop being a douche canoe.
Do some research on hands on previews of Too Human. I've been reading some "meh" comments. NG2 zzzzzzz. Gears 2 is really the only reason I still have my(4th) 360.
PojoMofo @ May 16th 2008 10:36AM
This is a list of FIRST PARTY GAMES ONLY, not counting all the 3rd party exclusives and multiplat games.
The hilarious thing is the 3 games you mentioned are not even 1st party games.
you = lose
browntown @ May 16th 2008 10:48AM
U better hope too human is good after a years of delays. Is that all u have forward to look too, lol.
NATO_Duke @ May 16th 2008 10:48AM
Killzone = winter release. (Look at your calendar for February then read farmer’s almanac to understand seasons)
Other titles listed are 1st party only, so there are other games too.
Also, Resistance 2 & LBP both look like fun titles to me.
Maverick Saturn @ May 16th 2008 10:49AM
They aren't first party ¬_¬
Rubix42 @ May 16th 2008 10:52AM
Hmmm, a 360 fanboy unexcited about a Sony list, how original.
And Too Human, common, that game looks average at best. But both GOW2 and NG2 are day ones for me.
As well as Wipeout HD, LBP, Resistance 2, and Motorstorm.
Another great year for gaming. Add in the good Square linup of portable RPG's, and I'm rolling in the goodness.
riggs @ May 16th 2008 10:54AM
you make me ashamed to have the 360.
xFenixKnightx @ May 16th 2008 11:11AM
Don't forget BanjoK3. I'm all over that. Loving the new style. Saw an interview and the core group who made the originals felt this is a better direction to go in. I have confidence in them. +1
Ninjakamster (PSN: Chin-Poh) @ May 16th 2008 11:14AM
Yes yes, Microsoft also has fantastic first and second party games coming out but no need to be yet another assholic Xbot who constantly bashes the PS3 and crap on this thread okay???
Phranctoast @ May 16th 2008 11:22AM
Except those games you named were all 3rd Party.
Phranctoast @ May 16th 2008 11:23AM

xFenixKnightx @ May 16th 2008 11:28AM
They are ALL being published by Microsoft Game Studios.
Hashbrown Hunter @ May 16th 2008 1:05PM
Not a guaranteed win though.
Wes @ May 17th 2008 2:12AM
I agree. Kind of Meh, I was just looking at the non-handheld list and only looked at the 2008 titles and read the following:
SOCOM: US Navy SEALs Confrontation (PS3) -- September 16, 2008
LittleBigPlanet (PS3) -- October 2008
BUZZ! Quiz TV (PS3) -- Fall 2008
MotorStorm Pacific Rift (PS3) -- Fall 2008
Resistance 2 (PS3) -- Fall 2008
Personally, I am not hugely into racing games but do enjoy FPSs. Socom looks not-bad, but, I never played the first one due to being more of a pc gamer for FPSs, ie played bioshock on the pc rather than console.
Resistance 2 should be ok but after having played all three episodes of HL2 recently and the original resistance, I am not that enthusiastic yet.
Buzz! quiz tv? ...what an exclusive to have for the casual gamer crowd? LBP? maybe... and thats it? Wait? Where are the big-guns? The system-sellers?
I hope blu-ray machine player purposes helps keep selling ps3s through x-mas.
Vidikron (FU) @ May 16th 2008 10:28AM
PSN has some good looking titles this summer. I'm all over Wipeout HD on day 1.
Vidikron (FU) @ May 16th 2008 10:30AM
God damn reply system. I tell aBs to fuck off and it put the reply under my own name. Haha.
Sloar @ May 16th 2008 10:30AM
Hey now, keep the arguments between your split personalities out of the forums.
Sir Fidlious Wong (Justin T. McElroy Memorial Burn of the Day Award) @ May 16th 2008 10:31AM
Sometimes I argue with myself and refuse to speak to me....
I feel ya Vidikron... stay strong my brotha from anotha motha....
PojoMofo @ May 16th 2008 10:37AM
Same thing happened to me....hmmm
reply = broken
Knight Marquise @ May 16th 2008 12:02PM
Jeez Vid...I understand your frustration, but try not to be so hard on yourself. :)
I know..the reply system sucks, but that particular reply of yours to you was pure gold.
Vidikron (FU) @ May 16th 2008 12:24PM
@Knight Marquise
LOL... I know. When I saw it did that my first thought was, "Oh man, that's going to be embarrassing". Surprisingly, people weren't as hard on my as I expected.
Vidikron (FU) @ May 16th 2008 12:26PM
*sigh* "my" should be "me". At least it's Friday.
Curtis the Claw:PSN-ctclaw @ May 16th 2008 1:13PM
Too Human is the 360's Haze.
Sir Fidlious Wong (Justin T. McElroy Memorial Burn of the Day Award) @ May 16th 2008 10:28AM
wipEout HD needs to be here NOW damnit!

xFenixKnightx @ May 16th 2008 10:42AM

xGeneral DEATHx @ May 16th 2008 10:48AM
Indeed, Sir. Not to mention how psyched I am for Motorstorm: PR and other speed-based games. Also: KZ2...things are finally looking better for ye olde PS3, mine just got dusted off yesterday when Uncharted arrived. I think this year will really turn things around for the big S.
Sir Fidlious Wong (Justin T. McElroy Memorial Burn of the Day Award) @ May 16th 2008 10:50AM
You need to let me know what PS3 games you crank on, mang. I'm starting to end my single player focus, getting back into multi.
Sir Fidlious Wong (Justin T. McElroy Memorial Burn of the Day Award) @ May 16th 2008 10:57AM
xGeneral DEATHx,
I don't know. It seems like Sony is blowing a bit too much of it's wad this year leaving nothing beyond. Many of the uber hyped yet mysterious titles like Getaway, Eight Days, Heavy Rain, and more are noticably absent from the public eye. I don't think PS3 can take second place in the long run, but I do think they did a hell of a lot better than many were giving them credit for. I think PS3 has a chance of being the Dreamcast or Saturn of this generation. Not quite first place but well respected among hardcore gamer circles. Of course this is based on my circle of friends in real life where I went from being "the idiot who actually bought that piece of shit" to converting people left and right. Of my close friends (once again, in real life), only three have 360s (and they cannot wait for the Jaspers to arrive because they miss slaughtering me in Halo 2). Most of the others have PS3s.
Do I think Sony's going to make a full recovery? Nope. But watching Sony get the every loving shit kicked out of them and watching their actions over these past two years has taught me that they learned from many of their mistakes.
Maverick Saturn @ May 16th 2008 11:05AM
Good, cos if they were to continue that cocky attitude they had in the first place, PS3 would have stopped selling a year ago, due to the fact nobody was buying.
xFenixKnightx @ May 16th 2008 11:06AM
Fiddy
I replied to you in the Dualshock story =P
xGeneral DEATHx @ May 16th 2008 11:19AM
Good point, Wong (double-entendre in that?).
PSN Tag: Deeth82 (I play a spot of Warhawk from time to time)
Look me up! Also: What's Fenix's tag? I have him added on XBL, but not PSN.
SoulBlade @ May 16th 2008 11:34AM
Next year, they're going to be pushing FF13 and hopefully some other new titles - I bet another Drakes Fortune will hit then too. And GT5?
xFenixKnightx @ May 16th 2008 12:06PM
xGeneral DEATHx
PSN ID is same as Gamertag and name here. So yours is Deeth82 or Death82?
Phranctoast @ May 16th 2008 12:30PM
@Sir Fidlious
Don't forget God of War 3 and the new Twisted Metal for early next year...
Sir Fidlious Wong (Justin T. McElroy Memorial Burn of the Day Award) @ May 16th 2008 12:51PM
Well if I wanted to go about the list wars, I would have (notmally it insights other list wars... as shown in this thread). Hopefully having to finally wring my greasy fingers around that wonderful White Knight Story is one of MY personal highlights of 2009...
tmacairjordan87 @ May 16th 2008 10:31AM
Siren looks pretty damn creepy, first time I've heard of it though. I'll gladly get that even though I don't particularly enjoy playing games that make me jump all the time, but it just looks too damn good to pass up
Sir Fidlious Wong (Justin T. McElroy Memorial Burn of the Day Award) @ May 16th 2008 10:32AM
You could have easily passed on the first.
Fact: Creepy Japanese lore games are creepy.
Fact: Creepy Japanese lore games with british accents in the translation is not creepy.
chez @ May 16th 2008 10:36AM
As a PSP owner nothing there is tickling my cheeks. Except thats the US list and us Yurpeens have that special Crisis Core coming out next month yawoo. And then Smash Bros so it doesn't really matter what else comes out in the next 3 years.
