PS3 2011 Preview: 20 Exclusive Games

Nearly every major PlayStation series is making an appearance in 2011 — even Kratos is in on the action with his guest turn in the new Mortal Kombat. Add third-party publisher PS3 exclusives and upcoming PSN games and upcoming PlayStation Move games and you’ve got a 2011 that’s jam-packed with PS3-exclusive titles.

Here’s an updated list of 20 games you’ll only play on PS3 in 2011, using the latest publicly available information. Of course, schedules can shift and plans can change — as always, we’ll keep you posted. For the moment, though, this is where we stand for 2011.

well... that's nearly 2 games per month. like WOW!

Persistantthug5658d ago (Edited 5658d ago )

Astounding list of games.

Edit...and before anyone says it...NI NO KUNI is not a PS3 exclusive because it's coming out to the DS.

DigitalRaptor5658d ago

Nope.

http://uk.ps3.ign.com/artic...

So why do the PS3 and DS versions of Ni no Kuni have different names? It turns out that they may end up being different games, outside of just the obvious visual differences. Level-5 says the while the two games will have stores set on the "same axle," they're being made separately from scratch and will have different data, specifications and story developments.

Without even buying any multiplatform games, I could spend all of 2011 just playing PS3 exclusives. It seems like there is a sequel coming out for almost every big PS3 franchise. There’s only 6 games on that list that I don’t plan on buying.

All the others I’ll hopefully buy day 1 if I can afford to. I also want alot of multiplatform games, a PS phone and PSP2 if they release in 2011 and a Sony 3DTV. Looks like most of my money will be going to Sony as usual.

Ar tonelico Qoga: Knell of Ar Ciel

It’s a long time since we got an old fashioned JRPG.

colonel1795658d ago

Noticed Final Fantasy Versus XIII is missing... That could only mean two things:

1) Is not coming 2011
2) Is not exclusive anymore

Which is it?

:P

ksense5658d ago

it could also mean the release date has not been announced and hence not mentioned. even for the last guardian they said holiday 2011 and so it made it to the list. this is from the article

"Here’s an updated list of 20 games you’ll only play on PS3 in 2011, using the latest publicly available information."

WesMcLaren5658d ago

They must've wanted the article to have an even 20 games.

Lord Gunchrote5658d ago

PS3 is gonna be set this year. Can't wait for Killzone 3 and Crysis 2.

remanutd555658d ago

im getting 16 out of those 20 games , but i seriously think The Last Guardian will be delayed to 2012 but who knows maybe we are lucky and get it this year lol

S1nnerman5658d ago

That's a lot of games. There's no time to play these and multi-platform games too (not to mention cost). It's a good complaint to have though :)

DanSolo5658d ago (Edited 5658d ago )

A mate of mine who has a 360 is thinking about getting a PS3 soon and I said to him I think he is definately choosing the perfect time to get one.

There are loads of quality games coming out and the PS3 is pushing ahead of 360 in terms of quality and quantity, plus there are a shitload of old good games to pick up cheap.

I do not say any of that as a fanboy as I think that mentality is fucking stupid, I just think it is a case of how things are.
2 years ago 360 was the best console, last year PS3 did better, now PS3 is pulling away quite rapidly. Except for Live being set up a little better and having a few extra features I think the PS3 has pretty much taken the lead and will only keep pulling away now!

fucadastates5658d ago

well you have a point. i just think you need to go 3 years back, for the xbox360 to be the best console..

Look I know VIII has its issues and all that but how on earth can the do big anniversary events with new artwork and merchandise for VII, IX and X yet VIII got sweet f*** all.

They could have given it something during its 25th anniversary yet all it got was a single Happy Anniversary post on their social media.

solideagle70d ago

they should know that we are OG fans of VIII as it sold truckload as well. not as much as VII or X. I personally didn't like IX but X and VI are my personal fav.

Shadow Hearts 2 covenant is another game I love. I hope one day someone can make remake, I would be delighted

Relientk7770d ago

Final Fantasy VIII is great and you are always the first to defend it in the comments

"Gaming’s Biggest Fighting Franchise"

Press X to (seriously) doubt.

DarXyde77d ago

Underrated comment. I used to hate that game so much that any time my siblings asked me to play it, I just picked Hom and shut myself down mid-match.

Soy77d ago

And then MK1 killed it again.

DivineHand12577d ago (Edited 77d ago )

15 years went by so fast. I remember playing through the story mode at launch.

PlayStation legend Shuhei Yoshida says Jim Ryan fired him because he didn't listen to him

Why did Sony push Shuhei Yoshida out of his role leading PlayStation's first-party games? He'd overseen some huge successes. Well, apparently, he didn't listen.

Relientk7779d ago

Yeah I can see that for sure. Shuhei Yoshida should have been in charge not Jim Ryan.

Cacabunga78d ago

It should be free highway for him now.. but Sony are too stupid to see this, especially that moron Hulst

S2Killinit78d ago (Edited 78d ago )

Wtf why all that anger. PlayStation is dominating on every level. Besides I think there is a little more to hiring a CEO than just who is available. Its not like its a athlete your team wants to buy.

neutralgamer199278d ago

S2Killinit

live service failures, chasing trends, closing studios. yes dominating

Cacabunga78d ago

Sony is Dominating because competition is not existing. Compared to previous gens this is the poorest in terms of software offerings.

Last gen we got Uncharted 4 Lost Legacy and TLOU2 from ND alone.

This is so far a remasters gen, with no competition to lift up the quality

1nsomniac78d ago (Edited 78d ago )

..."PlayStation is dominating on every level"....

...Really???

PlayStation are soon heading into a new generation in the not to distant future. They currently have the worst customer satisfaction they've ever sustained as a company. The company is heading for a huge crash while at the same time they'll need to be planning how they are going to try and win back that favour and the build up to their new releases.

Yes financially they're winning but they're going to have to ride out this complete public corporate disaster. No one has faith in the company or the product anymore. They've damaged their public image so much this generation. Greed can kill anyone.

medman78d ago

Hulst is a disaster......

blacktiger78d ago

He would've done the same thing and fire Jim Ryan and Shuhei would be the villain. Why?
Because Elite creates the narrative and distraction for gamers, users and citizens.

Outside_ofthe_Box79d ago

More confirmation that Jim Ryan is the culprit for what has happened to Sony. Hulst needs to go too. What sucks is that a lot of the good top heads at Sony are no longer there. I wish that guys that were forced out prematurely by Dumbo Jimbo like Shuhei and Layden came back.

robtion78d ago

Yep. Yoshida was responsible for bringing one of the best games of this generation to playstation (Stellar Blade). He is an actual gamer and is in touch with what gamers want (creative, fun games, not GaaS and agenda pushing). He also seems like a genuinely nice guy if you watch some interviews. Of course they got rid of him.

darthv7279d ago

Makes you wonder if MS even thought about hiring him after Phil and Sarah were leaving. He certainly couldn't make their situation any worse.

Agent7578d ago

Microflop. After Windows XP and Xbox 360, it all went floppy.

S2Killinit78d ago

Floppy 😆
No pun intended

badz14978d ago

Yoshida for President! Jim Ryan was and always be a hack! Sony should get Shu back

Lightning7778d ago

All the gamer/consumer lead heads are gone across PS and Xbox. shuhei gone phil's gone (questionable) but gone. The future of gaming is somewhat uncertain across the board.
