MotorStorm, Lair, HS in 2007

By Tom Bramwell Published 11 November, 2006

I.e. "Heavenly Sword". US dates.

A pamphlet included in the US retail PlayStation 3 hardware bundle has shed some light on the release dates for a few of the next-gen system's upcoming exclusives.

According to IGN, the pamphlet reveals that despite MotorStorm enjoying a December release in Japan, where the PS3 goes on sale today, it won't be released in the US until February.

Meanwhile, Factor 5's dragon-'em-up Lair (which smacks a bit of Dynasty Warriors in our early build) is down as March, along with Heavenly Sword from UK-based Ninja Theory.

The good news, we suppose, being that those games could all wind up as European launch titles - if they stick to the proposed dates. Ha.

    Sooo what exactly have the US got on launch with their PS3,bar Resistance,that actually looks any good? :/
    Not trolling,just generally wondering....

  • mankell #2 5 years ago

    Well you can't have a console AND games can you. Asking a bit too much.

    Looking a good euro line up for launch though.

  • BartonFink #3 5 years ago

    Yup looking very good for the Euro launch alright.
    Japan and US looking like a bit of a non-event really what is there, Resistance?

  • dredd97 #4 5 years ago

    yes, lets hope it launches in march...

    or the us launch is so brill, that they can't build enough of them to meet demand, and the euro launch is bumped until september because the US is their most important market...

  • JediMasterMalik #5 5 years ago

    Yup, Resistance.

    9.1 from IGN.

  • rinoaMW #6 5 years ago

    if HS is out in march, then guess ill be getting a PS3 sooner than i expected...

    Factor 5's dragon-'em-up Lair (which smacks a bit of Dynasty Warriors in our early build)

    So that means that when you review it, you're going to give it a 5, heh? You must be the only people in the world who made this silly comparison.

  • Psychotext #8 5 years ago

    So if IGN gave it a 9... hmm... that's an 8 from EG? Yeah, like that's going to happen.

    Is that sarcasm? I don't think I've read a single preview of Lair that doesn't mention DW.

  • peterfll #10 5 years ago

    I must have taken my eye off the ball, I thought Motor Storm was a launch title.

  • Psychotext #11 5 years ago

    It was, and is in Japan but apparently the Japanese release wont have online functionality.

    Oh and.

    The intro for Motorstorm is excellent. Extremely pretentious :)

    In fact I'd take this trailer as an example of why the Gears of War trailer had an awful soundtrack.

    GODDDD that was corny. 0_o The song is called "Leave You Far Behind" by lunatic Calm btw.

    Disc:

    Warhawk looks one of the most interesting games on the PS3, to me. Both it and Lair look like GTA-in-a-war to me (to a certain extent), Lair a having fantasy flavour and Warhawk a sci-fi flavour. GTA without being able to get out of the car...that would be crap. I don't know about Lair but Warhawk allows you to drive tanks and jeeps and stuff as well as simply travelling on foot; why limit your immense-scale fights to aerial only?
