I'll tell you what Series needs to be announced for the PS3. Its not Silent Hill, Jet Moto, Twisted Metal, Socom, Jade Coccoon, or anything that's been mentioned already. What I want to see is.........something new. When a new console comes out, everyone gets so caught up with seeing their old favorites get technological updates that they seem to forget that the absolute best benefit of a new console is NEW GAMES. I think that Resistance might grow to be a long running series over time. Heavenly Sword looks cool, but it reeks of a God of War knock-off that got started too late to be on the PS2 so its coming to the PS3. It will be a good game, don't get me wrong, but it won't be something fresh. Remember the first time you played Devil May Cry? Remember how awe-struck you were when you started tossing bad guys around with your sword and then shredding them with bullets. I mean, it was unreal. Remember the first time you played GTA 3? Remember how you really felt like you were this person, living in a real living breathing city? It was ground breaking. It absolutely changed the way we look at video games. So far, nothing like that has been announced. MGS 4 and FF13 look cool, but those also look like old favorites updated with new technology. I want a NEW game, a NEW character, a NEW world, and some NEW gameplay. Oh, and just so I'm not getting off topic, I wouldn't mind a new Fear Effectghaleon0721
Even though my first thoughts of games I wanted on a PS3 were sequels or updates of games I'd already played, I think PS3 has some interesting new titles coming. That is probably the number one thing that compelled me to buy one first. There's Lair, Uncharted, LittleBigPlanet, and Motorstorm just for this year.
It's also worth mentioning that even some of the sequels are completely revamped. Resident Evil 4 is an entirely different game than the previous games of the series. I think Warhawk and the next game in the Ico franchise will be very different from their predecessors.
Lastly, you can't count FFXIII out of the original games category. Final Fantasy X and Final Fantasy XII are as different as night and day. The core game of FFXIII will be totally different from the games before it just off the fact that it's a FF game. And if that's not new enough for people, Versus XIII will be. It being part of a series doesn't mean every game in the series is the same.
