Rumortoid: announcement of a huge PS3 exclusive coming photo

I’m down with people reporting on inside information, but leading me on is another thing. According to PlayStationLifestyle, Sony will announce an awesome, jaw-dropping, amazing, and very exclusive title for the PS3 on August 3. Past that, we only have the clues that that game is not a RPG, FPS, or a Twisted Metal title. Also, the game is slated for late 2009. That certainly narrows down the list, doesn’t it?

So, while we’re waiting with bated breath for this alleged announcement, let’s speculate a little bit. Personally, I’m hoping that this won’t be another God of War III thing, where we just stare at the protagonist’s sweaty CG brow and left to wonder if anything will really be new or exciting. I would love to see some crazy LocoRoco console version, or even a sequel to Primal. Perhaps this time we can have less chick and more demons.

Really though, if you stare at a list of Sony properties, the biggest titles that have been curiously missing of late are the ones done by Team Ico. I could easily see a new Shadows of the Colossus coming to the console. It's known that the developer has been working on a PS3 title for some time now, so it's hard to believe that this announcement wasn't going to come at some point. If the information is legit, what games are you guys thinking?

I bet that "huge PS3 exclusive" will turn into a multi-platform title a year from now.

That Team ICO project would be nice, if it were of Colossal proportions.

I'm becoming sick to death of companies and the Internet hyping up announcements that are nearly always disappointing. If anything, I think most of these announcements hurt the industry. I can name a half dozen games that were announced way ahead of time and just become more and more disappointing as we wait for them.

And to think that just last night I told my apathetic brother that if they were to release a Shadows of the Colossus type game for the PS3 I'd have to buy it when it came out.

Interesting prospect, to say the least.

As I'm already planning on getting a PS3 this September once the 80gb unit w/ DS3 controller is standard so a big exclusive title would certainly make the purchase all the more worthwhile.

While I'm sure the likes of Uncharted and R&C will keep me busy for a while, the thrill of waiting for a new Shadow of the Colossus or Okami game would be SPLENDID.

Heavy Rain has been announced, but no details or platform. Qantic Dream also announced that they were making a PS3 exclusive, but failed to mention whether or not it was Heavy Rain.

Announcement of the huge game cancellation coming soon. Sony is using this tease method so unethically. I personally was impressed by the action shown in eight days, they were advertising it all right. Then the cancel came.

If this is from Team ICO, Maybe it'll be a bridge between Ico and Shadow of the Colossus?

Shadow IS the Chronological sequel, you know.

After finally playing SotC and Ico for the first time I will most certainly be forking out the cash for a PStriples when they release the next Team Ico game, no question whatsoever.

Slated for 2009 = rescheduled til 2010 = rescheduled til 2011 = rescheduled yet again

Sony, you've cried wolf seven too many times. When you announce a solid release date within the next three months, that's when I'll listen.

Shadow of the Colossus is a prequel to ICO actually.

But seriously, anything out of the minds of that team will be great or at least incredibly beautiful. And as much as I'd LOVE to see a direct SotC sequel or even a remake in HD, I think I'd be even happier with a completely new adventure.

While I agree that Sony... Or the developers... Have delayed games an awful lot. When was the last time a game was announced that was actually coming out in less than three months of its announcement?

LMAO @ moo

Here's what I'm hoping will happen. They announce a new title AND an HD remake of Colossus. Probably only the first though. And that's IF this is even in regards to Team Ico. It could be something stupid and dissapointing.

@thisisami
Uncharted 2, THEN Jak 4. I'm still in dissagreement with Jak X.
