Steinberg: “We’re shipping a great lineup”
Already, the PS3 has gone off to a flyer this year with Killzone 2, one of the most antcipated games on the platform since the launch of the PlayStation 3 two years ago. But if you think SCEA are just lying their eggs on Killzone 2 alone, you’d be wrong, dead wrong.
Scott Steinberg, head honcho of marketing at SCEA, has promised a “AAA quailty relentless lineup”.
“We’re shipping a great lineup and it’s relentless and AAA quality. Starting it with Killzone 2, we’re going to arrest the momentum from competitors with titles like MLB 09: The Show, which some are calling the best sports title ever made.
Then in the Summer, there’s inFamous and you’ll get to see even more excellent titles at E3. If PlayStation fans thought that we’d rest on our laurels from last year and if competitors thought that we’d punched ourselves out, both are mistaken.”
Steinberg even went on to say that Killzone 2 has alot of potential to get people off the wall, as well as get 360 owners, to try the PS3.
“We feel that Killzone 2 is a tremendous exclusive. It’s an exclamation point that demonstrates the distance between the PS3 and other systems. The game is 40 gigs and could not be done on anything else. It will move people from the sidelines, and from what we’ve seen from blogs, will push 360 owners to try out the PS3. I think it’s going to be a major launch for us and this historical PlayStation brand.”
To be fair to the man, the PS3 does have a stellar line up this year. All you need to do is look at Heavy Rain and Uncharted 2 as well as inFamous as three great examples.

360s days are numbered.
When MS said “we’ll top KZ2!” they were obviously talking out their ass and it was 100% PR bullshit.
I can’t confirm or anything since I’m not a developer but I think Gears2 is 360s limit (especially considering lighting and such was static in Gears2).
The only bad thing about PS3 picking up momentum and 360 dying off is that MS will rush the next Xbox AGAIN and force Sony to release PS4 earlier than Sony wanted.
Yeah, Gears 2 is the limit. And it wasn’t even a big leap over part 1, unfortunately. Looks good for a 360 title, but I wouldn’t even try comparing it to the PS3 exclusives, past or present.
too…. many…… games!!!
That is what PS3 needs , Huge games that you would appreciate even if you are not a PS3 gamer .
Cannot wait for that , SONY do everything you can , show them the ” real ” YOU . . .
This is why I bought my PS3.
I knew there would be great games coming for it all I have to do is be patient.
Good things come to those who wait.
Awesome to hear last year nearly broke my wallet and looks like this year will be the same. O well I am having fun
I agree man, I am going to go broke. lol.
lol.. man i gonna overload on games this year too.
There is alot of AAA games this year…some new ones that might cause a spark are : Quantum theory, Wet, and Demon’s soul
I’m watching 5 games, Wolverine just made the list, looks like gory, kickass fun.
Seeing how I’m getting married and getting a new apartment, I wont have much money to spend on PS3 games for a while. But I will definitely be making a list of games to check out when I do have the coin lol
I love how the biggest complaint about the PS3 was “there’s not games!”
Now there are games coming from every direction you can imagine. It’s great!
