SCEA’s Scott Steinberg has proclaimed this year is to be dominated by ”relentless and AAA quality” releases from Sony, in case you were wondering.
The marketing chief said it begins with the ”tremendous exclusive” Killzone 2, before moving on to things like MLB 09: The Show, ”the best sports title ever made.” E3 holds more.
”It’s always been anointed as one of our pillar titles,” said Steinberg on Killzone, speaking to GameDaily. ”Since the fate of Killzone 2 has been inexplicably linked to PS3, we wanted to show that it raised the bar for next-gen gaming.”
”We’re shipping a great lineup and it’s relentless and AAA quality,” boasted the cheerful exec.
”Starting it with Killzone 2, we’re going to arrest the momentum from competitors with titles like MLB 09: The Show, which some are calling the best sports title ever made. Then in summer there’s inFamous and you’ll get to see even more excellent titles at E3.”
”If PlayStation fans thought that we’d rest on our laurels from last year and if competitors thought that we’d punched ourselves out, both are mistaken!”
He added that Killzone 2 will ”…push 360 owners to try out the PS3. I think it’s going to be a major launch for us and this historical PlayStation brand.”
There’s no denying Sony has quite the year planned for the PS3 with Uncharted 2: Among Thieves, inFamous, MAG, Heavy Rain and God of War III all releasing ‘09. Is your eye cast on a particular PS3 bound videogame this year? I’m stalking inFamous right now.
