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?

Colossus would be my bet, but as thisissami said a new jack and daxter platforming game would be a nice announcement as well. I've been looking forward to Heavy Rain since the tech demo vid, so hearing more about that would be awesome.

Didn't square-enix drop a hint about that FFVII remake a bit back? I can't remember where I heard it (valid, I know) but I remember something about an announcement from them at the beginning of August at their DKΣ3713 event (it runs the 2nd and 3rd). The dates match up, so maybe it's that. But the hint in this article says no RPG, so maybe not.

@Y0j1mb0: My thoughts exactly. The tech demo they showed off a while back was definitely jaw-dropping and they were supposedly showing it off behind super closed doors at E3 this year. Unless it's something that absolutely no one has heard of I'd put my money on Heavy Rain, too.

@ thisissami I thought I was the only one who preferred the first Jak and Daxter game to the second and third ones. I love me some platforming and random object collecting.

Still I'd love to see the new Team Ico game, but really, I dont remember that much press about Shadow of the Colossus before it came out. Hopefully there will be more coverage this time around.

If they could take what was good about ICO, put that in a game, and take out what was bad about it (ie. horrible camera, repetitive environments, shit-tastic combat), that could be cool.

Or, Shadow of the Colossus 2 would be an instant-buy for me.

I bet whatever it is, it will be a game of some sort.

A new Jet Grind Radio game. I know the series has never been on a Sony platform, so I say we're about due for one. There is no game I want more. I just doubt Sega can pull it off.

hopefully something from square-enix; after hearing that ff13 coming out to the 360 i wish they could redeem themselves with a awesome game.

@Patorama

i'm pretty sure plenty of people loved the first one more... at least if you like platformers more than third person shooters, that would probably be the case. i did love the platforming segments in the later jak games (also the shooting segments) but nowhere near as much as the game that was entirely based on platforming.


@J03yyz omg you just made me laugh so much

isn't it the case that beyond good and evil 2 has been poked a lot and not given a platform announcement? it is listed for both on amazon, but you never know-
but also there has been a lot of rumor around about battlefront III - renegade squadron was only on the PSP, so I could see that happening.

@CelicaCrazed I would love another jet grind radio/jet set radio future- I would be all over it, but I can't imagine that would be the announcement-

what would drop my jaw..... psychonauts 2?
the kotor mmo being an exclusive?
hard to think of something that would really be huge-

I pray to God, or at least the Japanese God of Gaming, that the announcement contains SOME details for the third Ico game... Ico and Shadow were two of the best games I've ever played.

Wasn't this third Team Ico game supposed to revolve around flight? Please not another crap dragon game... : \

I bet its just some entirely new series that is going to have some awesome "edge" to it.
