fuzei Posted September 16, 2005 Share Posted September 16, 2005 Playable games a no-show at event, but Sony reveals rock-solid third-party support with 102 games and 71 publishers.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-gen 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-gen 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-gen 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-gen Tales perhaps? 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-gen 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 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 2000 yen ($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.

Dazzla Veteran Posted September 16, 2005 Veteran Share Posted September 16, 2005 Hmmm, games I'd buy on that list are GT and FF. I've never really enjoyed playing RE or MGS. I guess you can add Winning Eleven (un-named soccer game by Konami) and GTA4, but that's about it. Doesn't really excite me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DiEMOS Posted September 16, 2005 Share Posted September 16, 2005 don't forget, this is JAPANESE list. So most games are japanese. and plus Namco Unnamed RPG, RPG Unnamed fighting game, fighting Unnamed shooting game, shooting Unnamed sports game, sports that info is kind of usless, atleast untill we know the game name.

icecaveman Posted September 18, 2005 Share Posted September 18, 2005 GameSpotTecmo Action game, action Action-adventure game, action Ninja Gaiden 2 for PS3? :laugh: Seriously though, very nice list. 586536053[/snapback] No it does not, Ninja Gaiden, although PUBLISHED by Tecmo is made by TeamNinja, a company very fond of Microsoft, infact one of the few Japanese developers who encourage other Japanese developers to go the Microsoft way of superior development tools...

icecaveman Posted September 18, 2005 Share Posted September 18, 2005 Ofcourse not, they are Japanese and most despise Americans! When will you ever learn that Japanese are generally racists when it comes to foreign technology! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Laughing-Man Posted September 18, 2005 Share Posted September 18, 2005 Ofcourse not, they are Japanese and most despise Americans! When will you ever learn that Japanese are generally racists when it comes to foreign technology! 586542061[/snapback] No, Coke, Pepsi, McDonalds, and western music as examples of Western culture that is popular over there, they are not racist, they just are proud people. Maybe since Sony clearly had the majority of Japan with the PS2 the Japanese developers are going to make games for them because it is more then likely the PS3 will do the same. That and the developer kits are written in their native language and are probably alot easier to understand then the Xbox360's translated English instructions.

icecaveman Posted September 18, 2005 Share Posted September 18, 2005 Didn't know Cola or food brands were considered as technology but perhaps that's just what idiocy you should expect from an Xbot... Plus these brands you mentioned, although generate lots of money for American corporations, generate lots of money for the Japanese companies as well. What would you think of an American who wouldn't want to consider any TV unless it was American made? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Laughing-Man Posted September 18, 2005 Share Posted September 18, 2005 (edited) What would you think of an American who wouldn't want to consider any TV unless it was American made?586542089[/snapback] I wouldn't consider him a racist, I would say he has pride in his country. Plus even if the TV was American I doubt all of the components inside of it would even be American. Alright maybe food and music is examples of technology. Trust me, there is no way they can get around not using American technology in their products if they want to sell electronics in the US, specifically patents held by US companies.
