PreviousImpressive kart racer for XBLA, PSN 200,000 PS3s selling in Europe... per week  Next

Sony dates GT5 Prologue, WipEout HD

Top racers lead promising early 2008 line-up. Full list inside...
Things will get off to a good start in 2008 for PlayStation gamers, as Sony confirms a promising Q1/Q2 launch line-up.

The list from Sony US puts Gran Turismo 5 Prologue on track for a Q1 release in the States, while the silky-smooth WipEout HD is pencilled in for a more vague "early 08" release.

Sony UK, however, has told CVG this morning that GT5 Prologue will also hit UK PS3s in Q1, while placing WipEout HD at a slightly more specific Q2 release.

PSP owners should also be looking forward to March, when God of War: Chains of Olympus crashes on the handheld.

Here's the full US list:

PS3/PSN
  • MLB: The Show 08 (PS3) - Spring 08
  • Hot Shots Golf 5 (PS3) - March 08
  • Wipeout HD (PSN) - Early 08
  • Rat Race (PSN) - Winter 07/08
  • echochrome (PSN) - Q1 2008
  • Gran Turismo 5: Prologue (PS3/PSN) - Q1 2008
  • PixelJunk Monsters (PSN) - January 08

PSP
  • MLB08: The Show
  • Patapon - February 08
  • Wipeout Pulse - Q1 2008
  • Pursuit Force Extreme Justice - January 08
  • Secret Agent Clank - Q1 2008
  • God of War: Chains of Olympus - March 08

PS2
  • MLB 08: The Show - Q1 2008
  • Twisted Metal Head On - Spring 08
  • SingStar 90's - Q1 2008
  • Buzz! The Hollywood Quiz - March 08
  • Buzz! Jr.: Robo Jam - March 08

hmmmm except GTA4 is on 360 as well with extra content gaurenteed, LBA looks nice but will last about 4 hours before it starts colecting dust, home will be delayed another 12 months cause they cant make it work and wipeut is...well...its just a prettier version of wipeout.

That's nice that you wasted your time typing that all out, but in the end, Sony is still asking folks to shell out money for a demo. Rolling Eyes

And unless Sony has actually used any of its processing power to beef up the AI, the game is going to be rubbish, yet again.

Good to see Wipeout and Hot Shots Golf on the scene--though, it likely won't beat out anything the 360 has lined up. Add to that the GTA4 exclusive content...and it's another lackluster PS3 quarter FTL.
matthew_m_g on 12 Dec '07
Wow what a s**te list of games. Nothing that screams buy a PS3 to me but thats my opinion as I have never liked turisimo and wipeout has been ho hum since the 1st( which sold me on an original PS1 when I saw it running in a console shop).

Flame on.

lonewolf2002 on 12 Dec '07

Off the top of my head (US Releases, at any rate):

Fable 2 (360 Only)
Ninja Gaiden 2 (360 Only)
GTA 4 (with exclusive online content for 360 only)
Bully: Scholarship Edition (PS2 and 360 only...sorry PS3DO owners, especially those with gimped systems)
Devil May Cry 4
Lost Odyssey (360 Only)
Brother In Arms
Condemned 2
That Take 2 Boxing Game w/Don King that I can't Remember the Name of and that isn't coming out on the PS3D0 (360 Only)
Turning Point: Fall of Liberty (360 Only?)
Pirates vs. Ninjas Dodgeball (Live)
The Bourne Conspiracy (360 Only?)
Splinter Cell: Conviction (360 Only)
Top Spin 3 (360 Only?)
Alan Wake (360 Only)
Chronicles of Riddick (360 Only)
Too Human (360 Only--Jury still out)

And there's a couple of 360-only JRPGs coming out still from Square-Enix, one of which is done by Tri-Ace, the same blokes that do Star Ocean.

That's all I can think of currently, at any rate.

Yeah theres rumors going around star ocean will no longer be PS3 exclusive as well. Fingers crossed they are true.

It wouldn't be bad if they reimbursed you when you buy the full game... but thats not going to happen is it?

Chances are they've continued with the crap AI and need to constantly repeat dull uneventual races just to get a "slightly better" car with which to repeat the same dull races over and over again, so its not as if we don't know what to expect.

360 owners may have to pay for Live but they don't get charged just to play a demo.

It ought to be boycotted, if they get away with charging for this they'll start charging for everything.
