GamersReports.com has posted an alleged internal GameStop memo, which documents 36 PlayStation 3 titles scheduled for release between November 1st and May 1, Strangely enough the memo suggests that some games could be released before the PS3 console. All games are listed at $59.99. While hardly official, these details will likely alleviate some of our fears that PS3 games will retail for more than $60.

According to the GameStop memo, the PlayStation launch lineup could include these 19 titles (exclusives in bold):
Untold Legends: Dark Kingdom (11/01/06)
Marvel Ultimate Alliance (11/01/06)
Need for Speed: Carbon (11/01/06)

Tiger Woods PGA Tour 2007 (11/07/06)
Call of Duty 3 (11/07/06)
Tony Hawk's Project 8 (11/07/06)
Bladestorm: Hundred Years War (11/14/06)

Game to be released after launch are (exclusives in bold):

Assassin's Creed (03/01/07)
Brothers in Arms: Hell's Highway (03/01/07)
Burnout 5  (03/06/07)
Army of Two  (03/06/07)
Def Jam  (03/06/07)
Medal of Honor Airborne  (03/06/07)
The Darkness  (04/02/07)
Virtua Fighter 5 (05/01/07)

Out of everything listed the only games I care about are:
Marvel Ultimate Alliance (getting it for the Wii)
Tony Hawk's Project 8 (getting it for the Xbox360)
Sonic the Hedgehog (getting it for the Xbox360)
Unreal Tournament 2007 (getting it for the PC where it was ment to be played)
Heavenly Sword (Looked cool, but I have to admit I'm less impressed with it right now after Sony reused the 2005 E3 Demo Video at the 2006 E3.)
Half-Life 2 (Already own on the PC)
Assassin's Creed (getting it for the Xbox360)
Burnout 5 (getting it for the Xbox360 or the Wii if rumors are true)
The Darkness (getting it for the Xbox360)

Sony's exclusive lineup is very weak. When people go to the story this xmas and look at the PS3 selection they are going to pretty much see the same selection as the Xbox360 and the Xbox360 is going to have alot more games in their section.

I dont buy those 59.99 prices yet until Sony themselves or "insert publisher" says in a press release that it will cost 59.99 or whatever. EB/Gamestop even listed some Wii games at 59.99 as place holders so those prices are probably the place holder prices.

EB/GS still holds some Wii first party games at 59.99 when Nintendo themselves confirmed no first party game will surpass 49.99 . And those people who reported the 59.99 PS3 games price overlooked this statement under the product profile "NOTE: Content based on the best available information. Price, release date, content and title are subject to change and/or cancellation by vendor."


On the game lineup itself Im not impressed one bit Ill be sticking to my Xbox360 and Wii(when I get it at launch) thank you very much.
And like how capamerica said if I wanted most of those games they would be available on Wii or X360 so theres no point for me to drop 600 dollars on a PS3.

Bladestorm: Hundred Years War (11/14/06)

Why didn't they call it Bonestorm?

[Hocotate]

Out of that entire list only 2 games look interesting, Sonic and Virtua Fighter 5 and I can easliy get by without playing those two games... Sonic Wii and SSBB will crush any desier to buy these

As for the price, I'll bet the standard price will be slightly higher then $59.99. $64.99 is my guess.

Wow nothing interests me.  Though that list of games is less generic than Xbox 360s list of launch games.  Hell, it may still be less generic than Xbox 360s current lineup.  It doesn't say much, because none of those games interest me in the list.  

I guess that is why I play Nintendo...I am not your typical casual gamer...or hardcore gamer for that matter.

[NinGurl69 *huggles]

Yeah, we eat caviar with wasabi.  biches.

[capamerica]

Caviar with Wasabi... Hmmm
I might have to try that some day

[couchmonkey]

And grey poupon ketchup.

I'm kind of interested in Lair and Warhawk, and there are some multiplatform third party titles there that look okay, but yeah, that list is kind of bland.  On the positive side for Sony, 19 is a pretty decent number of launch games.

[Spak-Spang]

What is really sad is that PS3 list still has potentially more games on the launch list than I am interested in the Xbox 360 after a year later.

The only game I was jealous that the Xbox 360 had was Perfect Dark Zero, and you can see that game came out completely uninspired.  Does that mean I think Xbox 360 doesn't have any good games, NO.  Just I am not interested in them.

Now PS3, looks to potentially have more interesting games.  Though I am honestly not interested in Lair, because I have been bored with Factor 5's Star Wars flight games...Lair looks just as boring to me.

[ShyGuy]

Hmm Assassin's Creed looks interesting, but isn't it coming to the 360 and PC now too?

[Louieturkey]

So where is Ridge Racer 7 which is supposed to be a launch title exclusive to PS3?

I guess they are having a hard tme porting Ridge Racer 6 over from the Xbox360.


Anyone else find it annoying as hell that developers are releasing prety much the same games on two systems but calling one of them a sequal?
Xbox360 = Ridge Racer 6 / PS3 = Ridge Racer 7
Xbox360 = Full Auto / PS3 = Full Auto 2

I believe that Assassin's creed has been confirmed to be intended to land on PC, but beyond that (as in, at launch or 6 months after launch?) is still speculation land.

Untold Legends.  I hear the series is good.  I do have to say that in the coming 360 lineup there is a few games I'm interested in but this is not that strong of a launch lineup compared to the Wii and what 360 already has to offer.

[capamerica]

Well its offical Assassin's creed has been announced to be coming out for the XBox360 on the same day as the PS3 version. Poor Sony that was like one of the last reasons to pick up a PS3 at launch.

Untold Legends is a pretty so-so game if you ask me. It only sold well on the PSP cause there were no other RPGs on it at the time. Its like most Sony made RPGs. I think its highly unlikley it will be a system seller.

Who didn't see that coming after they used XCs for demonstrating the game at E3?
