E3 09: The Best Talent = The Best Titles
Posted by Scott Rohde // VP of Product Development, SCEA

Hi PlayStation fans, I’m Scott Rohde, VP of product development at SCEA. You may not realize this, but we have over 2500 Worldwide Studio employees who’s jobs are focused on bringing unique IP to the PlayStation platforms. And that number doesn’t even include the talented outside developers like Sucker Punch, Insomniac and United Front Games. That’s a lot of people working hard to bring you one of the best software line-ups that we’ve ever put out in a calendar year.

We are starting NOW with inFAMOUS, the incredible new open world action title from Sucker Punch that hit store shelves last week, MAG - the first and only 256 player FPS coming out of our Zipper studio, UNCHARTED 2: Among Thieves, the latest epic creation from the brilliant, creative minds at Naughty Dog, and Ratchet and Clank Future 2: A Crack in Time, another exciting chapter in the Ratchet series from our long-time partners at Insomniac… and the list goes on.

Our team invests the time and dollars to bring you a diverse library of games, games which our competitors might find too risky to take a chance on. Make sure to check the news from the press conference to see and hear a little more about Worldwide Studios future vision. We showed an incredible 14 disc based first party games today that you simply will not find on another system.

For example, I’m excited to announce the debut of the next big thing in the Play, Create, Share genre - ModNation Racers. This game joins LittleBigPlanet as another truly innovative title in a genre that continues to be defined by Sony. In ModNation Racers, the players can design their own karts, drivers and tracks with an intuitive, yet amazingly deep set of tools. In fact, the tools are so deep, the developer, United Front Games, is using the tools to build the entire game! We will have a lot more to share on ModNation Racers, so stay tuned.

I’m incredibly excited about the SCE first party exclusive lineup over the next 6-12 months, and I’m only scratching the surface in this quick post. To whet your appetite, take a look at the new UNCHARTED 2: Among Thieves.

It seems almost unbelievable that the Playstation platforms will have a combined total of 364 games in a 1-year period. If I were in charge of Sony, I'd release 1 game every day for a year, just because we could, and take the one day off to laugh at [the other game systems] and their mediocre lineups. Good thing I'm not in charge of Sony...that plan probably wouldn't go over too well.

Thanks for posting.

With all this, i really find hard to beleive that many people's excuse to not buy a PS3 is "it doesnt have a good game lineup".

WTH is wrong with this people!? Cant they just admit that they are cheap?

Anyways

To many games are comming up, that are a must have.

Though I've got a feeling that the majority of those games will be PS1 and potentially PS2 games on the Playstation Store. And thats OK with me!!! If they are good games that I don't already have or just want to play on the road, I'll be buying them!

As long as one of those PS1 games is Bust-a-Groove, I'll be a happy Stephie!
