The 5 Most Hotly Anticipated PS3 Games of 2010
We have been hearing for some time now that 2010 will be a massive year in the world of video gaming. This view has been espoused by those at Sony, industry commentators and game fans alike hence it is worth looking at five games that have the potential to be truly massive in terms of sales and more widely appeal.
So coming in at number 5 we have the Sony Playstation exclusive Final Fantasy XIII. The Final Fantasy game franchise is hugely popular all over the planet and the thirteenth instalment of this now legendary game promises to be one of the great RPGs of 2010. Expect flowing storylines, sublimely beautiful scenery and the now familiar turn based, menu style combat system. Sony Playstation owners will not have to wait long; the proposed release date for this title is March.
Number 4 on this list of PS3 games for 2010 has to be God of War 3. Once again a Sony Playstation 3 exclusive and a series that has already gained a considerable fan base. Gamers will be able to control Kratos and battle through the realms of mythology with new weapons and abilities. Of course the story will have to tie up the trilogy effectively, but equally the awe-inspiring backdrops and sheer scale of the game will have to impress.
Certainly a game of our reality age is Heavy Rain at number 3. The game is striving to be different in an industry with clearly defined and occasionally restrictive genres. Developers state that the game will focus upon real life dramas with a cast of realistic characters. Seemingly player morality will affect the storyline with an emphasis placed upon the decisions made. This may well become a classic, particularly amongst the more mature Sony Playstation owner.
The first Bioshock game was an amazing success and this year the sequel is released. The strange world that players delve into will return in February apparently offering the chance to play as the first Big Daddy. It deserves a spot at number 2 just to see how developers plan to interweave the plot from the previous game in a world set ten years later.
The top spot for us at Sony Insights has to be Gran Turismo 5. The jury is still out on whether this will be a game of 2010 or not but if reports are to be believed it is in the summer that gamers will be able to jump behind the wheel of their favourite racer. Rumours are of nearly one thousand different cars and around twenty locations so it is likely this one will keep us going until 2011 at least.
