Rumour: 2008 looking great if Best Buy release list is to be believed

by Jem Alexander { Jan 3rd 2008 at 11:00AM }

We all know that 2008 is going to be a great year for the PS3 with regards to games, but when are they all coming out? User "Xeonoumus" on the official PlayStation forums might well have the answer. Demanding that his local Best Buy show him a list of 2008 releases, he receives a full list of predicted dates - and they appear quite favourable. We're labelling this a rumour for many reasons, not least because even if these dates are correct today, they could change at any time.

Enough disclaimers. When are we going to see some games this year? Most of the big titles we're looking forward to seem to be due out within the next six months, which is fine by us. We'll list out the big titles below and then post the full scan after the jump.

[Enjoy Speculation responsibly!]

Burnout Paradise - 14th of January
Devil May Cry 4 - 4th of February
GTA IV - 1st of April
Haze - 18th of March
Killzone 2 - 7th of April
LittleBigPlanet - 7th of April
Metal Gear Solid 4 - 17th of June
Rainbow Six Vegas 2 - 11th of March
Singstar - 13th of May

WOW Great List!

The1 @ Jan 3rd 2008 11:11AM

The only games that I think the dates are set in stone are for Haze, GTA4 and so on. MGS and Killzone will not be out until Holiday 2K8, when Sony will need these heavy hitters to push console sells.

Darko @ Jan 3rd 2008 11:18AM

GTA and killzone in the same month.... bad idea. Rockstar gets my money.

Oh and an off topic but related to best buy comment:
If you aren't happy with some of the "lack luster" free blu ray movies you got with your system, I just returned two of my unopened movies to my local best buy and got 58 dollars in store credit.... no receipt, nothing. Maybe because its the holidays or maybe they haven't gotten as strict as some people claim. Either way free PS3 game or 2, crappy, blu ray movies your choice.

Uhh that's not Best Buy. That's 100% a Gamestop/Eb games printout. And if you just walk up to any store, they'll happily print one out for you, for any system. You don't have to walk in and "demand" anything. You can even ask them to sort it by either date or title for you.

Michael @ Jan 3rd 2008 3:29PM

I agree with the other comment that this is a gamestop/eb games print out. This has no relation to best buy at all. I work in gamestop so i know that list like the back of my hand and it is true whenever a customer wants a copy of the list we give them one no question asked and we can sort it by date or alphabetically. This bs about demanding one a best buy is a load of garbage and whoever posted this needs to check their sources next time.

PES 2008 in march... it was released in Europe like months ago, I've been waiting for it like crazy :(

Adam @ Jan 3rd 2008 11:57AM

Import, it is region free, although your concern should still be that the game is slightly buggy

huaheuhae @ Jan 3rd 2008 8:46PM

it's only buggy if he doesn't have an hdtv

elephant_stone @ Jan 3rd 2008 11:23AM

I already have SingStar :p
and 2 of the highest rated videos! :p :p

Sometimes (only sometimes), it pays to live in the UK!

Naaiif @ Jan 3rd 2008 11:44AM

Yeh Killzone 2 and Little Big Planet are confirmed September/ Fall releases by Sony themselves.

MGS4 is June right now, but could get delayed till Fall so it can sell more.

navsimpson @ Jan 3rd 2008 11:44AM

We already know that Haze was delayed for 8 months, so I wouldn't trust this list very much:

Did you even follow the link on Neogaf?

The Ubisoft site originally said August, but has now been changed to March.

OT: Killzone 2 and LBP will not release so soon after GTA4. That's just crazy talk.

navsimpson @ Jan 3rd 2008 12:41PM

Whoops! My bad... Who knew reading all the way to the end of something was the way to do it?

Carlton @ Jan 3rd 2008 12:54PM

Santino @ Jan 3rd 2008 11:51AM

im upset that GT5 isnt on that list.....if they would just stop releasing demos of demos and actually put that effort towards the final game we'd have GT5 in 2008

Neil @ Jan 3rd 2008 11:52AM

Didn't they already say LBP was going to be delayed 'til at least September or something like that?

nahworry @ Jan 3rd 2008 12:06PM

We're happy with Singstar, too, but my wife keeps asking when it will come out in Japan as well (if ever), so that she can download some fine JPop videos for us to sing along to.

Anyone have any info about that?

Organic_Shadow @ Jan 3rd 2008 12:07PM

Killzone and LBP seem like placeholder dates.

I still believe they will be out before the end of Summer, but I don't think April 7th is enough time for them to turn things around and surprise us. Sony GDC is in March correct? Which is also the end of fiscal year for many companies....

THE GRAVY THICKENS!!

poprocker @ Jan 3rd 2008 12:09PM

When Haze and Killzone 2 come out i will go out and buy a ps3

ryan @ Jan 3rd 2008 1:57PM

i so agree. if there's not a heavy hitter like Xbox just had with Bioshock, i won't buy a system. from Bioshock I went and scooped up all the heavy hitters and am loving it.

Ninja Gaiden 2 and Fable 2 should hold me off on getting a pS3 this fall for MGS4 and Killzone 2
