Rumor

According to an article in the US Official Playstation Magazine, Jack Tretton, vice president of Sony Computer Entertainment America, has dropped the names of two possible PlayStation 3 launch titles, in the form of Incog's flight action game Warhawk and Factor 5's Lair.

No confirmation has been made on his statement at this time. Expect official PS3 information in January when Sony is planning to fully blow the lid off the PS3.

TOKYO--One of the biggest, and most unfortunate, surprises at the Tokyo Game Show 2005 so far has been the absence of any playable PlayStation 3 games. However, that didn't totally deflate the spirits of those present as Sony Computer Entertainment released its full lineup of Japanese PS3 games at the show. The list revealed a massive amount of third-party support for the console, which is sure to heat up the next-generation console war with Microsoft's Xbox 360. Sony currently has 102 games scheduled or already in development for the PS3, with 71 publishers on board its next-generation bandwagon.

One thing striking, if not terribly surprising, about the PS3 lineup is the massive amount of sequels it contains. As previously reported, Atari is releasing a follow-up to Alone in the Dark, was well as new installments in its Stuntman and Driver series. Ubisoft is releasing a third installment of Brothers in Arms on the PS3. SNK Playmore has already announced King of Fighters Maximum Impact 3, even though the second installment for the PS2 won't be coming out until the middle of next year. Wrestling game developer Yuke's also revealed it had an unidentified game in the works, raising the possibility of the first next-generation SmackDown! game or that the Xbox 360 Rumble Roses will be multiplatform.

Konami already announced Metal Gear Solid 4 at E3, and now it's revealed a new Gradius game is in development. The company is also making a soccer game, most likely the first next-generation Winning Eleven. Namco also has a good lineup scheduled for the PS3, with unnamed fighting, shooting, sports, and role-playing games in the works. While it's almost certain that the "fighting game" is the already announced sixth Tekken, which was shown at E3, the RPG's title remains a mystery--a next-generation Tales perhaps?



Koei PS3 only Ni-Oh game.

As for new games, Koei revealed it is working on two original properties for the PS3: An action game called Blade Storm: Hundred Years War, the latest brawler from Dynasty Warriors series developer Omega Force, and a racing game ominously titled Fatal Inertia. It had previously announced its Akira Kurosawa-inspired action game Ni-Oh at E3 in May. D3 is publishing Digital Extremes' Dark Sector, one of the first games announced for next-generation consoles. Genki is making a new release for a "racing game series" and a "Japanese sword fighting game series", which are probably new iterations of Tokyo Xtreme Racer and Kengo.

Surprisingly, not many companies announced games for both the PS3 and the Xbox 360 at the Tokyo Game Show. Capcom reconfirmed that Resident Evil 5 (called BioHazard 5 in Japan) will come out for the PS3 and Xbox 360, and From Software revealed its newly announced game, Armored Core 4, is in development for both platforms.

While it's generally said that developing for next-generation consoles will be tough on small publishers, today's PS3 list had a fair amount of budget game makers on the list. The small publisher named Magnolia will be releasing its affordable "Value 2000" series once again on the PS3 which, as the name suggests, sells at the low price of 2,000 yen (US$18) plus tax.

Also of note in the PS3 lineup is Arc System Works' unnamed "fighting game tool", a mysterious-sounding project from the company well-known for its Guilty Gear X series. Interestingly, Hudson is bringing its Rengoku series from the PSP to the PS3--the first time a series that debuted on Sony's handheld is making its way to a console

I can't wait for PS3, I love sequels to games plus I have just about every system already except XBox. Also, any ideas on how much the system is going to cost when its released? Probably $400-$500...:( :(

I think that one of the ps3's launch titles are going to be a remake of Final Fantasy 7. Looks pretty sweet and i hope they added more stuff because just an graphic upgrade isn't enough to revive a Square legend.

I just got the english version of Final Fantasy 7: Advent Children the movie. Haven't watched it yet but the bonus features have a preview of the game itself. Any other Final Fantasy phanatics out there? I haven't watched the preview for the game yet but I'm sure its going to be released on the PS3.
