These Games are Confirmed By Playstation 3 development
6GUN II
Publisher: TBA
Developer: BattleBorne Entertainment
Genre: Tactical Third-Person Shooter
Release Date: TBA 2007
Though the first 6GUN isn't even out for the current generation of systems yet, Nevada-based BattleBorne Entertainment is already prepping the PS3 follow-up for 2007. Regrettably little else has been revealed about either game up to this point, so there isn't really much else to talk about. The only remaining details that we know is that the franchise will be similar in concept to THQ's tactical shooter Full Spectrum Warrior and that the PS3 version will run on a brand new proprietary engine that's been codenamed Raptor.
Avalon
Publisher: TBA
Developer: Climax Studios
Genre: Vehicular Shooter
Release Date: TBA
The same Brighton team that was responsible for the popular MotoGP series has been working on its first next-generation title for the last two years. Known as Avalon, Climax Studio's PS3 and Xbox 360 combat racer is quickly nearing completion.
Dark Sector
Publisher: TBA
Developer: Digital Extremes
Genre: Stealth Action
Release Date: TBA
The very first next-generation game to actually be seen, Dark Sector is still surprisingly enigmatic. Created by the same team responsible for this year's Xbox favorite Pariah, Dark Sector is a brand new stealth action title that follows an intergalactic spy-type named Hayden.
Eyedentify
Publisher: Sony Computer Entertainment
Developer: TBA
Genre: Camera and Voice-Controlled Adventure
Release Date: TBA
With the PS3's multiple technologies it only makes sense to want to use them, and that's exactly what Eyedentify aims to do with uses for both the HD-IP camera and the vocal headset attachment. Judging by the official teaser, the game looks like it will be a similar experience to Konami's PS2 title LifeLine.
Fifth Phantom Saga
Publisher: SEGA
Developer: Sonic Team
Genre: First-Person Shooter
Release Date: TBA
Okay, so the idea behind Fifth Phantom Saga intrigues us but we're not exactly sure what to make of it yet. SEGA and Sonic Team's first PS3 title is a first-person shooter that allows players to command a Guyver-like apparition as a supplement to their very capable assault rifle.
Final Fantasy PS3
Publisher: Square Enix
Developer: Square Enix
Genre: RPG
Release Date: TBA
Much to the dismay of the 2000-plus people in attendance at Sony's E3 2005 press conference, the next Final Fantasy game won't be a remake based on the FF7 Tech Demo used to show off Square's programming chops, but rather an all-new title designed specifically for the PlayStation 3. Confirmed to be in development by Square Enix President Yoichi Wada, the first next-gen FF will likely be Final Fantasy XIII.
The Getaway PS3
Publisher: Sony Computer Entertainment
Developer: SCE Studios Soho
Genre: Action
Release Date: TBA
In the UK, Sony's The Getaway franchise is one of the most successful PS2 series around. And with the announcement that there's already a PS3 version of the game in the works, our European buddies have been begging us for new information since the news of its existence first hit.
I-8
Publisher: Sony Computer Entertainment
Developer: Insomniac Games
Genre: First-Person Shooter
Release Date: TBA
For proof that the guys at Insomniac love first-person shooters, all you have to do is look at their history. The group's very first videogame, after all, was the PSOne ****c Disruptor, and last year's Up Your Arsenal and the forthcoming Ratchet:
Infraworld
Publisher: TBA
Developer: Quantic Dream
Genre: Action
Release Date: TBA
One of two confirmed PlayStation 3 games that Quantic Dream is currently building, Infraworld is one of the most mystifying titles on our list. In fact, the game is so shrouded in secrecy that we know absolutely nothing about its storyline, visual **** or concept.
Killing Day
Publisher: Ubisoft
Developer: TBA
Genre: First-Person Shooter
Release Date: TBA
Ubisoft's only confirmed PlayStation 3 title joins dozens of other games in being mysterious. Granted, we don't know very much about Killing Day right now, but that doesn't mean that there isn't at least a little bit to talk about. The game's focus, for instance, is obviously going to be that of a first-person shooter with a gruff and tattooed lead character. Additionally, the environments appear to be highly destructible (exploding popcorn carts anyone?) and the enemies bleed a whole lot when you shoot them.
Killzone PS3
Publisher: Sony Computer Entertainment
Developer: Guerilla Games
Genre: First-Person Shooter
Release Date: TBA
It's currently unknown if Killzone PS3 will eventually become Killzone 2 or something else entirely, but one thing's for sure: the war with the Helghast will definitely continue on the PlayStation 3. Rather than just recreate the gameplay elements of the first Killzone while giving it a better coat of paint, however, developer Guerilla Games is already working on specific mechanical improvements to make it a more complete experience.
Mobile Suit Gundam
Publisher: Bandai
Developer: TBA
Genre: Unknown
Release Date: TBA
Bandai knows how to keep quiet, as next to nothing about the PlayStation 3 version of Mobile Suit Gundam is known right now. To be truthful, the only thing we can really confirm is that a Gundam of some type will be in it -- that's about it. Naturally, we think that Sony's E3 press conference may provide some clues as to what to expect, with the appearances of GM Mobile Suits, multiple Zakus, a Gun Tank, a Zauf Custom, and the RX-78 among them.
MotorStorm
Publisher: Sony Computer Entertainment
Developer: Evolution Studios
Genre: Racing
Release Date: TBA
Developed by the WRC team at Evolution Studios, MotorStorm was one of the biggest hits of Sony's 2005 E3 press conference. Though questions swirl about how much footage was in-game and how much was rendered, the trailer itself was still one of the most impressive PS3 displays we've seen.
Ni-Oh
Publisher: KOEI
Developer: KOEI
Genre: Action
Release Date: Summer 2006
Formerly known as Akira Kurosawa's Oni, Ni-Oh is KOEI's first PS3 title and is being described as "the ultimate in historical action." What that actually means is anybody's guess, but given KOEI's history with games like Dynasty Warriors, Samurai Warriors, and Crimson Sea, you can bet that Ni-Oh will have lots of guys onscreen with plenty of hacking and slashing to go along with them.
Omikron 2
Publisher: TBA
Developer: Quantic Dream
Genre: Unknown
Release Date: TBA
Like Quantic Dream's other game Infraworld, almost nothing about Omikron 2 has publicly been revealed. Screenshots, movies, and technology demos don't even exist yet because the game is still in its conceptual and design doc stages.
Possession
Publisher: TBA
Developer: Blitz Games
Genre: Real-Time Strategy
Release Date: TBA 2007
It's quite possible that Blitz Games' Possession is the PS3 title that we know the most about. Not scheduled for release until sometime in 2007, the zombie-themed RTS pays homage to several well-known films about the undead. Possession's storyline, for instance, is ripped right out of 28 Days Later; as it follows four activists into a secret research facility where they unwittingly unleash deadly chemicals that turn them into flesh-eating zombies.
