Gran Turismo 5 and others
FINAL FANTASY XIII and FINAL FANTASY Versus XIII: Estimated Street date - TBA
This eagerly anticipated title will apparently take full advantage of the PlayStation 3 system's advanced hardware, providing tangible, intuitive controls while delivering seamless transitions between real-time gameplay and stunning in-game cinematics. The latest in cutting-edge technology has been utilized in development of FINAL FANTASY XIII, thus making this newest addition to the FINAL FANTASY series worthy of the title "next generation."
Not a merely a sequel, but a wholly independent story unfolding in a different world with different characters, Final Fantasy Versus XIII will appear alongside FINAL FANTASY XIII on the PlayStation 3 system.
Gran Turismo 5: Estimated Street date: 2008
Gran Turismo 5 is currently under development for the Playstation 3. It is claimed that the game will output at 1080p and run at 60fps. The game may include online races for the first time ever in a Gran Turismo game, and realistic damage modelling,[citation needed] which has been missing from all previous GT games, although both these features were also promised for Gran Turismo 4 and ultimately not delivered. The game will also feature Ferrari cars for the first time in a Gran Turismo game. There may also be motorbikes featured in the game, probably similar to those found in one of Polyphony's earlier game Tourist Trophy. The game is expected to feature even more vehicles than the 700 found in the earlier Gran Turismo 4 game for the PlayStation 2. The Blu-Ray disk will help to make the game even more diverse than it already is.

Jack Thompson hates it, but we love it! The first GTA IV trailer was released in March and featured the main protagonist Niko Bellic, who has a brief monologue: "Life is complicated; I killed people, smuggled people, sold people. Perhaps here, things will be different."
The way the player moves is controlled by a physics engine, called RAGE, instead of purely pre-written animations, therefore enabling character movements to be more realistic. Players will also be able to perform a variety of new actions such as climbing telegraph poles and pushing people who bump into him, and calling a woman for a date.
We also hear that we'll be able to fly helicopters!
