No surprises from SCEA's holiday line-up
Vast majority of first-party titles already released
SCEA has unveiled its holiday line-up of more than 100 titles for the PS2, PSP, and PS3 platforms, but the vast majority of first-party titles have already been released.
SCEA lists four first-party PSP titles, for example, all of which are currently at retail. Likewise, the seven announced first-party PlayStation 2 titles have already been released.
Of the eight first-party PS3 titles, only Uncharted: Drake's Fortune is not yet available. Naughty Dog's game is scheduled for a November 20th release.
The bulk of SCEA's holiday line-up comes from third-party software, including titles such as Assassin's Creed, BlackSite: AREA 51, Kane & Lynch: Dead Men, and Haze for the PlayStation 3.
Interestingly enough, SCEA's list includes Unreal Tournament 3 from Midway, despite the fact that the publisher revised its financial estimates to reflect a Q1 2008 release.
The PlayStation Network actually has the largest amount of new content. High Velocity Bowling, PAIN, Go!Sports Skydiving, Mesmerize 1, Tirals of Topoq, Toy Home, Operation Creature Feature, Aquatopia, and Snakeball are all listed as holiday titles.
In addition, the PlayStation Network will offer map packs for Resistance: Fall of Man, and downloadable content for Folklore, flOw, and Motorstorm. No mention was made of rumoured downloadable content for the recently-released Ratchet & Clank, however.
