This would be awesome. I still have GoW II shrink wrapped but I am having a blast playing the first one. Bring it!

Good news to hear.

I still wouldn't be surprised to see either GOWIII or MAG slip to next year. The game was still in Alpha during the recent showoff if I remember reading correctly. MAG looks like it would be quite a bit of work given how massive it is and nothing has been shown off about it.

We'll have to see how both games have progressed at E3.

I'm excited about the game but hopefully it'll turn out right, I didn't enjoy GoW I and II as much as other people (IGN thinks its the best PS2 game ever released... WTF?) but they were still very fun to play.

I just hope GoW III offers much more depth and challenge than its predecessors.

I thought GoW 1 was pretty challenging on the 2nd hardest setting. The fact that it was a good game kept me from quitting it out of frustration.

That being said, I wouldn't be surprised at all if both of these titles don't make it this year. Sony needs to say something to sell more PS3s if they aren't dropping the price. 😀

Sony is in dire need of a console mover. I wouldn't be surprised to see some sort of GOWIII Christmas Bundle available in November.

I wouldn't say "dire", Metal Gear Solid 4, Gran Turismo 5 Prologue, Ratchet & Clank Future LittleBigPlanet, Killzone 2, etc and their PSN titles (Wipeout HD, Super Stardust, Pixeljunk Monsters/Eden, etc) are all superb AAA exclusive titles and encompass a wide variety of genres and target groups.

The only reason the PS3 is still behind is because the 360's momentum and price are hard to beat, software-wise the PS3 is more or less the same as the 360, some may argue it's even better.

I love GoW and GoW2, but I really hope GoW3 takes more than a weekend to beat.

You clearly missed the "console mover" bit. None of the above sold consoles like Halo 3 or Gears of War did. I also disagree with your characterization of some of those as AAA, but to each his own.

They're down year over year in hardware sales. That's going to translate to software sales problems sooner or later.

God of War 3 could be what they need. Of course, I am also completely skeptical they'll get either game out this year.

I guess maybe I'll buy a PS3 if it does come out this year.

Whoops

Sony released news from their Destination PlayStation conference this morning, and in addition to announcing ?Rock Band,? LittleBigPlanet? and others for PSP, it brought clarity to Sony?s release schedule for their PS3 releases.

The aforementioned PS3 exclusives are all slated to arrive during Sony?s fiscal year, which goes until March 31, 2010. That gives them until next spring.

can't wait

This might give me a good excuse to buy a PS3 ... or at least steal my brother's. There's really nothing else about the console that would make me want to buy one.

Yup yup.

Thread title should probably be changed as it's kind of misleading, not that it's really that big of a deal though.

Cant wait to play this game for myself. 🙂

I'd rather it come in 2010 and be good than have it rushed and get here in 2009.
