QuoteKilling Day
Debuting with an impressive video at e3 '05, this FPS for the PS3 has completely dropped off the radar. IGN concludes that it has been cancelled.





Theseis
This next-gen epic promises a huge open-ended adventure against a backdrop of Greek mythology. Due to high costs, Track7 decided not to develop this game for the PS3. Development continues for the PC and 360.



Elveon
This RPG was announced for PC, 360, and PS3. The original press releases have since been removed from 10tacle Studios' website but the gamespot and IGN pages remain. Only the PC and 360 are mentioned on recent press material.




Endless Saga
The PS3 recently lost its only exclusive MMORPG. A Webzen PR person had this to say:
"We have recently decided to cancel the Endless Saga project. Endless Saga was one of our ambitious development projects to enter into the next generation console market. However, after some rigorous development effort, we found the gameplay of Endless Saga to be short of innovation and creativity we seek to achieve in online gaming space."

Condemned:Criminal Origins
According to the original press release, Monolith Productions was planning on bringing Condemned: Criminal Origins to the PC and next-gen consoles. Gamespot has removed their page on the game while IGN's preview page remains. According to this Joystiq article from last September Condemned for PS3 was cancelled.





Smackdown 07
THQ's next-gen wrestling game will not be coming to the PS3. THQ provided this comment: "...the development team would rather concentrate their resources on the three other platforms." Development continues on the PS2, PSP, and 360.
Update: The PS3 will be skipping the '07 Smackdown release and pick up the franchise with the '08 version.


Oblivion
Originally announced for "future generation consoles", there were indications during interviews in 2004 on that Bethesda was planning on releasing Oblivion on the PC, Xbox 360, and PS3. Somewhere along the line, future generation consoles became just Xbox 360. Was a PS3 release ever part of Bethesda's plan? Rumors that a PS3 version may be released in the future support this theory.




Splinter Cell: Double Agent
Ubisoft's press release mentions "next generation consoles" but a faq on the Ubisoft forums detailing the status of the game's development does not mention the PS3. Double Agent is due out in September for PC, Xbox, PS2, Gamecube and October for 360. Will the PS3 get its own version when it launches in November? A recent article in Game Informer seems to think so, though an Ubisoft employee on the Ubisoft forums has crushed those hopes by stating "we are not going to release DA for PS3."

Oblivion and Splinter Cell are the only notable ones I see.
