PS3: 2009 Will Be The Year Of Big Exclusive Titles
According to SCE Worldwide Studios president Shuhei Yoshida, PS3-exclusive titles like Killzone 2, inFamous, Heavy Rain and MAG are evidence that 2009 will be a big year for the Playstation 3 and their owners.
Speaking on the official PlayStation website, Yoshida said:
"2009 will be the year of big, exclusive PS3 titles. Just to name a few, the year will start with the much anticipated launch of Killzone 2, followed by a fresh, new take on the superhero/anti-hero open sandbox genre inFamous, a mind-bending thriller Heavy Rain, a massive 256 player simultaneous online shooter MAG, an augmented reality, virtual pet in your room experience EyePet, and some more big titles that we have not even announced yet."
Remember that Team Ico (Ico and Shadow of the Colossus) are also working on a new title exclusively for the Playstation 3. So we can add this unnamed title to the list.
Which game from this list excites you the most?

The "[i1ngu4jwj]" is certainly my favourite genre. Heh
But seriously, inFamous does look like it could be a damn fun game.
I'm very interested in seeing what happens with Heavy Rain. So far what has been shown looks fantastic and potentially very innovative. Hopefully it's not just a new take on the Dragon's Lair type game.

Don't forget about the PSN line-up including Flower. Hopefully RockStar will release more information on LA Noire, which is still listed as a 'PS3 exclusive'. PS3 looks to be heading in the right direction, too bad it's running really behind schedule.

I wish Sony would expedite the death of the PS3, start the PS4 and work with developers on creating a easy to use SDK set of tools, better online system, new controller and more things.
Killzone 2 and WKC are the only 2 games that are interesting me and if KZ2 blows like Resistance 2 did, that will be the last PS3 game I buy.

I have to say I'm really excited for inFamous, I've had my eye on that one since E3. =D It looks like a great story and some fun gameplay. I love the whole anti-hero thing, not sure why it just seems to make for more interesting characters to me. =)

If Sony were to kill the PS3 they would piss off quite a few consumers. They are stuck working with the system due to the large investment they made in it. They need to make the PS3 tools better. Period.
Resistance is/was a good game. The online portion of the game works. I would like to see a method of leaving player reviews though. Too many people quit when there are too many others with the particular class they want to play.
