So you can bite me, 'k?
A gaming friend of mine sent me this list of launch titles for PS3, supposedly from an IGN source. I'm still trying to find a link to verify it, but if this is true, Nintendo and Microsoft may as well not bother with new hardware. Supposedly GTA:Next is a system exclusive. A GTA game and Spiderman 3? As launch titles? Sony isn't screwing around.
IGN's list of games thus far:
EA Sports Fight Night Round 3
Metal Gear Solid 4
Spider-Man 3
The Getaway 3
Grand Theft Auto Next
Dirty Harry
Scarface: The World is Yours
Possession
The Darkness
Demonik
Dark Sector
Akira Kurosawa's Oni
Theseis
Metronome
This is the closest to a corroborating link that I could find: http://www.gamespot.com/news/2005/05/16/news_6124681.html?q=1&tag=gs_hp_topslot_click
Excerpted from the link:
"However, Sweeney's words were only the beginning. Later, Sony trotted out a whole host of publishers that are backing the PlayStation 3. And in the process, it confirmed several games for the console. Hideo Kojima introduced Konami's Metal Gear Solid 4, Capcom showed off Devil May Cry 4, Namco unveiled Tekken 6, Polyphony Digital trotted out a fifth Gran Turismo, SCEE showed off the next Killzone, and Rockstar Games showed a new Western title.
EA President Larry Probst was also on hand to show off a demonstration of the next Fight Night game, which will presumably be called Fight Night Round 3. When one of the two fighters took a blow, his skin rippled realistically. Kudo Tsonoda from EA's Chicago studio was on hand, and said that the goal is to make the facial animation convey the amount of punishment a pugilist has suffered.
And still the games came. SCEE had three on display: A third Getaway, with an even seedier, nastier version of London; a new off-road racing game called Motor Storm from Evolution Studios; and a shooter called Heavenly Sword. Sega is readying Fifth Phantom Saga, and Bandai is prepping another Gundam game. Ubisoft is continuing to innovate in the first-person shooter field with an all-new IP named Killing Day. Koei enlightened the crowd with a demo of Ni-oh, a new martial-arts-themed brawler about Buddha's monk bodyguards. Incognito is developing a sequel to Warhawk, the acclaimed actioner for the original PlayStation."
If I recall correctly, Killzone was supposed to be the PS2's version of Halo. It was pretty much hampered by the PS2's limitations, and recieved barely average reviews.
