SCEA’s near-100-game holiday roster lists console edition of Epic’s shooter; Midway says to expect game in ‘08.

With the November release calendar jam-packed with big releases, Sony Computer Entertainment America this morning released its full holiday 2007 lineup of expected games and add-ons for the PlayStation 3, PlayStation Portable, and PlayStation 2.

While many of the nearly 100 retail and downloadable games listed for Sony systems are already out, these are the titles Sony is using to demonstrate “a continued commitment from both SCEA and third-party developers to the PlayStation family of products and aims to appeal to enthusiast and casual gamers alike.” Divided by platform, Sony’s latest console gets the most attention in the holiday lineup with 34 retail games and 13 downloadable titles. The PSP list includes two dozen games, slightly behind the PS2’s showing of 27 titles.

As with Nintendo’s first- and third-party release list from last month, some of SCEA’s entries didn’t fit with what had previously been known. For instance, SCEA lists Unreal Tournament 3 for the PS3 as releasing this year, when Midway has told its investors the game shouldn’t arrive until 2008. A Midway representative told GameSpot today that the company still expects Unreal Tournament 3 for the PS3 to see release next year.

Likewise, Capcom’s Harvey Birdman: Attorney at Law for the PSP appears on SCEA’s lineup, but that game was officially delayed until January specifically to avoid the crowded holiday release window. The PS2 version was also delayed, but is not included on SCEA’s holiday list. A Capcom representative had not returned a request for comment as of press time.
