Worldwide PS3 releases for the week of November 2nd

by Jem Alexander { Nov 2nd 2008 at 2:00PM }

Something for everyone this week. Resistance 2 hits the US while LittleBigPlanet finally sees a European release. Valkyria Chronicles also makes its way to American soil. If you're after something wholly unique and a little bit special this week, that might be your best bet (though only SRPG fans need apply). Here's the full release list:

US Games

EU Games

Asian Games

Tom Clancy's End War

Don't forget that your PS3 is region free. If you see anything on this list that isn't available where you live go ahead and import. Keep in mind that DLC is locked to the game disc's region so if you buy a US game you'll need to get your DLC from the US PSN Store. Release dates are constantly subject to change. That's our way of saying "don't blame us if something gets delayed last minute."

francisco @ Nov 2nd 2008 2:09PM

wat kind of bluetooth included with end war?

Andrew Yoon @ Nov 2nd 2008 4:44PM

It'll be the official PS3 Bluetooth headset.

dj_rock @ Nov 2nd 2008 2:12PM

yeah it sux to live in the middle east and use pal systems i'm going to look at u guys playing R2 good thing there are games like dead space and bioshock but it's still a bummer

Kyle @ Nov 2nd 2008 2:49PM

PS3 games are region free. If you want to play R2, you can import it and it'll play fine on your system.

RazLeBoL @ Nov 2nd 2008 2:20PM

Resistance 2 is going to be awesome!

nakedatthecomp @ Nov 2nd 2008 2:23PM

anyone have any idea how Quantum Of Solace is? i'm not usually a fan of movie-based games.. they always seem like they were made by someone who doesn't know a thing about games (and never saw the movie either!) but this one looks like it could potentially be good!

dj_rock @ Nov 2nd 2008 2:29PM

it's based on casino royale and Quantum Of Solace the game uses call of duty 4 engine and it's made by the guys who brought you cod1 and 3 it's a game u can choose 3rd person view or first person view if i were you i would see the ratings from websites like ign hope it's berfect though

sicsided @ Nov 2nd 2008 2:41PM

I played the pc demo about 2 weeks back. I uninstalled after one run through. It was really really clunky.

dicknjane @ Nov 2nd 2008 2:25PM

i'm gettin Gears of War 2 this week first, then R2 maybe later. maybe.

Rowdehaj @ Nov 2nd 2008 3:06PM

'Doubt you'll be very popular here, saying that.

leatherface @ Nov 2nd 2008 3:53PM

enjoy playing a bigger budget remake of the first one,i guess cliffy b forgot to put in a flamethrower.

Nick @ Nov 2nd 2008 3:24PM

Gears 2 will be fun, no doubt. If I had a 360 I would definitely pick it up.

With that being said, however, bring on R2. I can't wait.

strike @ Nov 2nd 2008 3:29PM

Stop flaming on the guy. If he likes playin xbox games, that's his choice, not yours to make fun of

Hife @ Nov 2nd 2008 5:04PM

@Strike
Not that I condone flaming, but posting that on the ps3fanboy forum basically forfeited any right he had not to be made fun of for his choices.

That said, I can't wait to get my hands on R2! I'm forcing myself to wait until the weekend though... too many important things I can't blow off this week. (tear rolling down my cheek)

j.howlett @ Nov 2nd 2008 2:26PM

if only games didn't cost so much money or i had more of it. i want R2.

strike @ Nov 2nd 2008 2:29PM

Why would you need that many games, when you can just get Disney Sing It?

j.howlett @ Nov 2nd 2008 4:44PM

that's an EU release. it would cost the same as a US game and the only one i want from this week is resistance 2. i just sing along to disney movies or any music really. i'm not into music games today.

Dartmerc @ Nov 2nd 2008 6:14PM

j.howlett, that was a very balanced response to strike's clear joke/want 3 stars comment.

j.howlett @ Nov 2nd 2008 7:41PM

i thought it was funny but it would have worked better if i wanted more than R2 in this weeks list

WeHopeItsFunny @ Nov 2nd 2008 2:35PM

damn, i have no money to buy resistance and i want it so bad! gah!!

sicsided @ Nov 2nd 2008 2:43PM

ah Valkyria Chronicles, I hope someone buys you. You are so special.... too me!

Emophia @ Nov 2nd 2008 3:32PM

I'm getting it, it's my most anticipated game of this year next to Mirror's Edge.

I'm Also getting Naruto Ultimate Ninja Storm and World Tour.

Resistance 2 and LPB I'll get sometime later.

Alexandra_3259 @ Nov 2nd 2008 2:46PM

Yes Resistsnace 2 finally boy is this going to be one good week.

sean @ Nov 2nd 2008 2:47PM

im from the uk i imported R2 collectors edition cost £55 getting it for christmas

Dartmerc @ Nov 2nd 2008 10:27PM

Don't do it! You'll have a crap load of drama getting DLC, and you *may* encounter some online multiplayer issues.
I'm all for importing (I live in Australia.. sigh), but when it comes to games where the online play is core or meaningful DLC seems likely, I stick to buying local.

Zack @ Nov 2nd 2008 3:09PM

I'm excited about Naruto Ultimate Ninja Storm. It's the best-looking anime-to-game adaptation yet, I think. I can't wait to try it out!

Valkyria Chronicles and Resistance 2 come after. After my disappointment with LittleBigPlanet, I need something to bring me back up.

Brett from Atlanta @ Nov 2nd 2008 3:19PM

Great, I thought the littlebigplanet servers were bad before, now let's throw europe in the mix too. Sony needs a socom level overhaul of those servers stat. Expect to not play LBP online again this week. I guess I'll barrel my way through R2 while patiently waiting for the inevitable LBP server fix.

Packfan @ Nov 2nd 2008 4:39PM

Different servers there buddy. They don't have one huge Sony server that runs everything you know...

Brett from Atlanta @ Nov 2nd 2008 5:39PM

Thats good news then, still, they need to fix the american servers really bad.

saito ps3 @ Nov 2nd 2008 3:29PM

cant wait to get resistance 2, end war, and naruto. i gotta buy fallout 3 and far cry 2 first though, i just bought brothers in arms and nba 2k9 and im broke lol, i need to sell some of the psp games i dont play, or the ps3 games i dont play because i beat them, and they have no online that interests me. so many games this holiday, i also might import white knight story from japan. also a question, am i the only one who doesnt like the gloss of the ps3 and perfers the type of material the ps2 was made out of?

strike @ Nov 2nd 2008 3:31PM

No, you are not. although the ps3 is ALOT slicker looking, it also attracts alot of finger prints, which i hate =p

ryan @ Nov 2nd 2008 4:02PM

They should come out with a matte finish like the MGS4 edition, but black.

I really dislike the gloss of the PS3. Much prefer the matte black of the PS2 and 360 Elite.

AltCtrlPwn @ Nov 3rd 2008 4:32AM

"also a question, am i the only one who doesnt like the gloss of the ps3 and perfers the type of material the ps2 was made out of?"

No way, I wish the PS3 had a matte finish or something other than gloss as well . . . hell, if they had kept the same brick shape with the same exact look, I'd like it even more than I do now, I think.

Rodrigo @ Nov 2nd 2008 3:31PM

so it begins again huh... i'm back where i started in resistance and this time it should be better..

Sound_of_snow @ Nov 2nd 2008 3:42PM

To many awesum games n to little money :( got Valkyria Chronicles arriving tomoz morning thou woop, should keep me busy for a while :)

Tristan @ Nov 2nd 2008 3:45PM

Naruto Uzimaki, Naruto Ultimate Ninja Storm checking in, I cant wait to play it all!!!

ddog @ Nov 2nd 2008 3:47PM

so the ps3 is region free? does that mean i can play imported movies from europe on my ps3 here in the states?? how does that work ?

Brodie-san @ Nov 2nd 2008 4:11PM

Games are region free. Movies are not.

Josh (be logical; vote for Obama) @ Nov 2nd 2008 3:55PM

NUNS and VC. :) :) :)

PSN: Erdie @ Nov 2nd 2008 4:27PM

Resistance 2 gets my money!

Adam Stock;ey @ Nov 2nd 2008 5:07PM

Naruto UNS it out in UK THIS WEEK!!! God get the list right...

Devin @ Nov 2nd 2008 5:32PM

I really really really want to play R2, but I still need to beat Uncharted! LBP is also keeping me and my g/f way too busy......

FrodoTBaggins @ Nov 2nd 2008 5:41PM

Geez, I really need to settle down. Waiting on LBP (EU), Importing Rockband 2, Naruto UNS and Resistance 2. With all these awesome games coming out it's as if my mind ignores common sense and makes me spend ALL my money on games...this is getting ridiculous.

Lets just hope I have some money left fo Disney Sing it....*crosses fingers*
