Sony Announces 2008 / Early 2009 PS3/PSP Line-up
- Thread starter Keyser Soze

Ouch. Imo the lineup for 2008 from Sony really is awful 
The only ones for me will be
PixelJunk(TM) Eden PSN (Available Summer 2008 / Not Yet Rated)
LittleBigPlanet(TM) PS3 (Available October 2008 / Not yet Rated)
Possibly Resistance 2, but since I didn´t like the first game it is doubtful

Fantastic, I don't have to buy myself a PS3 till sometime in 09. None of those games I plan to buy, except perhaps Little Big Planet. The system sellers for me are going to be FFXIII/White Knight Chronicles/Team ICO project.
I'm also thinking the 360 fall lineup is looking a lot stronger than that of the PS3, I can see Gears 2 kicking Resistance 2's ass.

Is the PSP a dead console?? I'm thinking of buying the God of War pack, but there seems to be withering support for it.

30 years in the game and still people want to argue when a publisher announces their first-party line up for the year. Anything published by the hardware maker is a first-party game. Doesn't matter if it was developed by some Bangladeshian monks or Vikings in a third world country.
Semantically you can argue what is a first-party studio. But a first-party game is clear cut.

Probably less risk in losing money. A game like siren has little audience in America. Might as well put it on psn for hardcore gamers.
I'm liking the way sony is handling few of its psn games. Psn store is shaping to be more than worthy.
As for the line-up, it is decent but not the full list probably. A few Japanese games like rpgs would have been better.
Japan Studio has an okay pedigree (Popolocrois series, Legend of Dragoon, Legalia series, Alundra 2, Wild Arms 2)... but they haven't really been active in RPG making for a sold half decade now. :/Paracelsus said:
Also, Level-5's a full fledged 3rd party developer, with no real contract obligations to Sony.

I'm still hoping that Motorstorm gets a patch for single-player load times/multiplayer splitscreen/custom soundtracks at some point. MS2 is going to be amazing just for the new gameplay dynamics and the new tracks, but it'd still be nice to be able to return to the first game and have it feel like a complete game.

Look, I don't want to argue the fact that a title published by the manufacturer is first party or not, I was just saying that to me, this list looked like a first party studios one.
Yeah I know, insomniac is independant blablabla, but they look more like a 1st party studio than anything else. Because they only make PS games. And Sony often mentions them, or you often see people like Ted Price making speeches in Sony-only events. Something you don't see at all with studios like Level 5, even if they developped a lot of games for PS consoles.

A lot on that list I will definitely purchase... but strangely enough I am super excited for Buzz! on PS3.

While Sony has published quite a few rpg's, majority of them have always come from third-parties.

Sales-wise, not at all. It outsold both PS2 and PS3 here last month, and it's probably been doing so even more consistently in Japan.dsmoke1986 said:
But you sure as hell wouldn't know it by the way publishers, Sony especially, are acting towards publishing games on it. It's almost like they're trying to starve it to death.

PSP has outsold everything in Japan so far this year (and has been the best selling system each week for at least the past 6 weeks). However, aside from the awesome sales of Monster Hunter Portable 2G, you wouldn't know that from looking at the Weekly top 30/50 lists.

Looks decent, but it seems like a lot of these will be delayed.

awful? gawd - sometimes gaf is really in for big laughts. motorstorm 2, resistance 2, pixeljunk eden, socom & wipeout and little big planet are more than enough decent games. ~_~
