If there is one title that you should be watching carefully for, it's WarDevil. Since details are scarce, many people have let this title slip under their radar, but WarDevil promises to go beyond the conventions of a normal video game.
The game uses a sophisticated engine called RTE1080 (real time engine). The WarDevil RTE1080 Engine is designed to run at 1080p resolutions and 60fps that create a visual style that surpasses the look and feel of some pre-rendered FMV sequences.
When it comes to the storyline, players will assume the role of the mysterious WarDevil, traveling through what appears to be a post-apocalyptic world. The game designers said to expect levels in such places as ruined wastelands, desert strongholds, and military bases.
Combining 3rd person action/adventure with a compelling sci-fi storyline and unprecedented graphics, Wardevil looks to be a promising title for the PlayStation 3.
Haze
There has always been a fog surrounding this title with the constant speculation of a release and consistent delays. With a March 19th expected release date, it’s finally time to get ready. Haze is a PS3 exclusive that is being designed by Free Radical Design and published through famed publisher, Ubisoft. Unlike Free Radical’s lighthearted title, TimeSplitters, Haze is expected to have a more serious and possible political driven tone to the storyline.
The story revolves around an elite soldier named, Shane Carpenter. Shane is now over 20 years old and had a very small chance of getting to that point. His mother died at The World Games when he was just 9 years old. He’s been a user of nectar for awhile now, which is a government created substance that is available to both civilians and soldiers. The version submitted to soldiers, however, seem more potent as it enhances their capabilities, such as sight. It’s rumored that the nectar supplied to the populous also creates some smoke and mirrors from what’s really going on around them. You’ll control Carpenter for 3 days straight and take part in events that are described to have changed Shane’s life completely.
One of best parts about Haze is the fact that Free Radical designed the game with the self-named engine, Haze Engine. This allowed them more free reign control over what they can feature within the game itself. It’s going to cover real time lighting and has a high dynamic range. Haze also plans to have a 4-player co-op and 4-player online co-op as well for release. Multiplayer will hold up to 16 players for battle and will provide narrative-based missions as an online feature as well. All of this combined with a slew of weapons and what seems like a creatively unique storyline make Haze a title to own here in the near future.
Gran Turismo 5: Prologue
A staple of the PlayStation brand since its inception in 1998, Polyphony Digital’s highly successful Gran Turismo series makes its next-generation debut with Gran Turismo 5 Prologue, due out this spring on Blu-ray and the PlayStation Network. As the precursor to the upcoming Gran Turismo 5 (due out in 2009), Prologue offers gamers a sumptuous teaser of things to come, including 37 vehicles, 10 tracks and online play for up to 16 different players.
Car aficionados will be pleased to learn of the revamped interior interface, which includes a speedometer and odometer, along with a plethora of real-time lighting effects, such as reflective rear-view and wing mirrors. Of course, one of the most celebrated aspects of the series has been its attempt to simulate an authentic driving experience, and Prologue looks set to continue the trend by allowing users to select the ‘Professional’ mode, offering a realistic interface. Inexperienced players, however, may opt for the ‘Standard’ option, which offers a more forgiving set-up.
Featuring gorgeous 1080p high definition visuals, a user-friendly menu interface (titled ‘My Page’) as well as the all-new Gran Turismo TV (allowing you to view various video clips, including ... (continued on next page)

@ Hyourinmaru
We decided to not include Final Fantasy XIII cause its highly doubtful we'll see it in the U.S. before 2009.

I honestly think LBP is underhyped... the creativity of humans is amazing, and if MM pulls it off and gives us enough tools to be as creative as possible, this game could be one of the greatest games of all time.
If they can somehow implement triggers into this game, it will be unstoppable.
UMS in RTS games such as StarCraft and WarCraft can be extremely creative, and that's with crappy tools.
Trust me, this game will be incredible.

Can we not manage to put an apostrophe when a title is possessive? This is an awesome gaming site, yet things as simple as article titles are constantly errored in relation to grammar. Possessives = apostrophe. Seriously, it's getting old.

I agree with everything except White Knight Chronicles. Maybe I just think the plotline is overused or something, but the game seems like a flop to me.

Echochrome anyone? Maybe Home? Not a bad list though.

but 21st comment aside... let's focus on the big things right now yall... in order from 1-5... MGS4 - Haze - Killzone 2 - LBP - White Knight Chronicles... and that's just from the list... i think they're understimamting SOCOM by putting that as a runner up... come on now june... this sh1t was supposed to be out ages ago... now i know that the longer the sh1t takes the better it's gonna be... but be honest... SOCOM deserves to be right there next to MGS4.. and also giving the fact both of these titles are being released around the same time.... it's gon blow sh1t out the water... without a doubt... Cha-Ching... i know them wallets are getting fat SONY... For those of you who took the time to read this sh1t...chek yo friends list around that time these 2 games are out... bet either any 1 of those 2 games are gonna be under theire names... if i'm wrong yall know my name hit it up...

MGS4, Tekken 6, FF XIII. Can't really say I'm too excited about any other titles this year, to be honest. I'll probably end up buying most of the games listed here though. Oh and by the way, what if Square stopped the Final Fantasy franchise for a little while after this one and worked on some PS3 remakes for FF7 / FF8? What would everyone think of that?

I don't think the exclusives are goint to save the ps3 unfortunately, why because hardware sales are in for the us for the year and sonys ps3 as had a total stuffing, it seems only blu-ray sony can really shout about but i don't think they will beat dvd, ok here come the figures for the entire year in the usa, the DS on 8.50 million 2.47 million sold at december second the wii which sold 6.29 million and in dec sold 1.69 million, third xbox 360 which sold 4.62 million and in dec sold 1.26 million, fourth the ps2 which sold 3.97 million and dec sold 1.1 million, fifth psp which sold 3.82 million dec sold 1.06, sixth ps3 sold 2.56 million dec 797.600 who ever wins in the us wins the next gen gamin, go to http¦/gaming-monstersandcritic.com

Why no FFXIII? Everyone says it won't make it out in 08', but officially it's suppose to and I'll not believe differently until it's officially announced to be 09'.
Otherwise, great list. Can't wait until the second half of 08' when all these games start to roll out.

Bedsidelee ,
Just sell your PS3 to someone who'll appreciate it more. Don't come to this site just to post negative comments. And Microsoft and xbox fanboys like you need to stop thinking that America is the only country that matters when it comes to gaming. -

How dare you not place FFXIII. FXIII is a more anticipated exclusive than half of the list here. There some games here I haven't even heard before of. Only three games are known by anyone. Killzone 2, Metal Gear Solid 4, and FFXIII. BY FXIII I refer to both FF.

psn id: gingo.... i couldn't have made a better list if i tried, every one of these games should be a must buy for any ps3 owner and those still complaining about FF13 not being there as NoUseMercenary said already its highly doubtful it will be out this year, heck i'm really doubtful killzone 2 will be out this yr but we'll see what happens
