Near the end of its Q3 earnings shareholders conference call today, Activision executives confirmed that it would be releasing three titles for the U.S. PlayStation 3 launch. Though an exact release date for the three titles was not given, it was stated that the games would be out before the end of Fiscal Quarter 2007 -- which translates to sometime between April 2006 and March 2007.

Unfortunately the most important bit of information -- namely, the titles of the launch games themselves -- were not provided.

We'll have more on this developing story as it comes to light.

Predictions

Tony Hawk's American Wasteland 2

That's definitely one.

 

[LAMBO]

the funny thing is Activision probably doesn't even know.

 

[Ponn]

Tony Hawk American Rehash-land

Gun - PS3 extreme edition! (now with less indians)

Spiderman something or other

 

[sonycowboy]

4 for 360, only 3 for PS3??

And Activision hates PSP!

Activision in bed with Microsoft!

 

[GitarooMan]

That was my first thought, but I gave Activision a little credit, which is likely a mistake.

 

[Mrbob]

It begins.

Depending on release, I'm going to say THAW 2, GUN 2 (Both of these actually look next gen on PS3 and 360), and a Call of Duty game.

 

[Doom_Bringer]

I don't think Quake IV will come to PS3. Those guys at id and Raven don't like the PS3. But Activision might get some other dev to port it to PS3.

 

[Ninja Scooter]

my sources tell me one of them is a PS3 exclusive currently in development at Activision's canadian studios and it will be a 3rd person action/platformer called "DMczaf's Adventures in Dick Land".

 

[choplifter]

and lo, the avalanche of PS3 shovel-ware begins :lol

 

[Snaku]

Priced at $80 no doubt.

Revolution only!

 

[Pedigree Chum]

Correction, Gunz, Quake 4 Ultra, COD2: Killing more Nazi's. All orginal games, honest!

 

[Deadly Monk]

I think EGM mentioned Ultimate Spider Man 2 was one of them

 

[Gorgie]

One of them is bound to be Tony Hawk Bugaloo: Hey guys, 10 new slapped together levels that are inferior to some bonus 'old skool' levels back when we gave a shit

 

[Kiriku]

Exactly what I was thinking as well :lol

 

[TheJollyCorner]

what about the PS3 'quality line' that's suppose to be in place to prevent shovelware ports?

 

[Snaku]

I think EGM mentioned Ultimate Spider Man 2 was one of them

I swear to god that it better not be Chase->Boss Chase->Boss Fight->Chase->Save Citizen->Boss Chase->Boss Fight-Chase,etc. with all the boss fights being exactly the same. What a piece of shit USM was. Not even the story was memorable.

 

[sonycowboy]

what about the PS3 'quality line' that's suppose to be in place to prevent shovelware ports?

Hey, they've got 25% less stuff than the 360.

 

[Ninja Scooter]

what about the PS3 'quality line' that's suppose to be in place to prevent shovelware ports?

what about Peter Moore's "essentials"?

 

[jetjevons]

Return to Castle Wolfenstein 2 perhaps?

 

[LAMBO]

what about the PS3 'quality line' that's suppose to be in place to prevent shovelware ports?

I thought they were there to prevent shitty media being released like what happened with the 360, stuff like wallguy.

 

[Pedigree Chum]

what about the PS3 'quality line' that's suppose to be in place to prevent shovelware ports?

That only applies to when Sony shows off PS3. MS should have done the same, instead they chose to show shit like PDZ :lol

 

[Count Chocula]

COD2 is a given since it's doiing well on the 360 they're going to want to milk that one for sure.

 

[TimmehTims]

oh joy more ported crap

 

[Doom_Bringer]

That only applies to when Sony shows off PS3. MS should have done the same, instead they chose to show shit like PDZ :lol

No it applies to games in development. No upgraded current gen games on PS3, well at least not from Japan.

 

[Rhindle]

They also said they would have one Revolution launch title.

 

[Illuminati]

I predict Activision will repackage the PS2 versions of Gun and Tony Hawk: AW2 in PS3 boxes and no one will be none-the-wiser since the PS3 is backwards compatable.

 

[Doom_Bringer]

:lol awesome!

I like you :lol

 

[The Take Out Bandit]

Hey, a real next generation Tony Hawk is always worth a look.

The leap from THPS1 to THPS3 was quite nice indeed. I know it's fashionable to bash the franchise, but even skipping an iteration here and there; I have fun with it.

Here's to hoping Neversoft pushes the PS3 and doesn't just give us sloppy seconds like they did with Xbox360.

 

[Father_Brain]

Marvel Legends, perhaps?

Activision is also planning to have one Revolution title out at launch.

 

[Amir0x]

well, so now Ubisoft gotta announce stuff and we'll have the shovelware portion covered.

 

[Count Chocula]

You can pretty much rule out Gun.

You think Sony is going to greenlight a year old port of a PS2 game for PS3 launch?

 

[Amir0x]

no but they will greenlight whatever month old PS2 activision game is out in Fall 2006 for PS3. And they'll like it too.

 

[Reilly]

Priced at $80 no doubt.

is that avatar from a transformers cartoon series?

 

[Count Chocula]

no but they will greenlight whatever month old PS2 activision game is out in Fall 2006 for PS3. And they'll like it too.

That may work for MS but Sony wont allow it.
Just think were there any PS2 games released along side a PS1 version?

 

[Agent X]

Just think were there any PS2 games released along side a PS1 version?

Yes, although they were mostly sports games.

 

[Reilly]

Yes, although they were mostly sports games.

didn't EA make Madden 2004 for the PSone?

 

[Amused_To_Death]

I predict Activision will repackage the PS2 versions of Gun and Tony Hawk: AW2 in PS3 boxes and no one will be none-the-wiser since the PS3 is backwards compatable.

And don't fotget the Collector's Editions! :lol

 

[Amir0x]

it's gonna happen dude.

 

[Agent X]

didn't EA make Madden 2004 for the PSone?

Yes, they did. They also made Madden NFL 2005 for both PS1 and PS2. EA also made the last official PS1 game to be released in the US, which was FIFA Soccer 2005. Of course, there was also a PS2 version of that game.

 

[HomerSimpson-Man]

Do Gun and Tony Hawk Xbox version work on X360?

 

[jamesinclair]

Marvel Legends, perhaps?

Activision is also planning to have one Revolution title out at launch.

Whac-a-mole 2! The touch screen didnt do it justice, but it will be prefect with the revo controller!

 

[thetrin]

Do Gun and Tony Hawk Xbox version work on X360?

Nope. Nothing in the least bit new works on 360. Port conspiracy? Just could be.

 

[HomerSimpson-Man]

Nope. Nothing in the least bit new works on 360. Port conspiracy? Just could be.

Hopefully with fully BC like PS2 had, they would less likely try this crap on PS3.

 

[Yamaha98]

Activision, please stay away from the PS3 & continue on w/ your 360 ports. If anything, bring Quake Wars over- nothing else.
