Nine (new?) PS3 exclusives to be announced at TGS

[Shifty Geezer]

According to Edge Online (quoting someone else translating a Sony press release), Sony will be showing 32 listed titles with 17 PS3 titles, and 14 unlisted titles, inluding 9 PS3 1st party titles, and two unannounced 3rd party titles (exclusivity not mentioned), with 3 1st party PSP titles.

White Knight Chronicles isn't listed whcih is a likely candidate, although that's not first party. Is the translation accurate, or are the only meaning Sony published, not in-house, titles?

There's always room for manoeuvre (God, I always have trouble writing that word), with regards to exclusivity etc.

My personal interest is in whether the games are "full" launches or small PSN only titles.

WKC is a 1st party title much like Resistance is a 1st party.

I don't expect much from Sony in TGS. At Leipzig Reeves talk about 11 new announcements. Most of them are disappointments. I don't see why it should repeat.

 

[Cheezdoodles]

Insomniac (resistance developers) are independent, "2nd party" i guess as they are published by sony.

9 is a whole lot, especially since for TGS one supposes this is all SCEJ. We're probably looking at a fair number of PSN releases.

 

[eastmen]

How many of these are psn games and how many are release games. Well either way its good news for ps3 owners.

 

[DieH@rd]

I just need new ICO game.

 

[RenegadeRocks]

and some God of War III footage !

WKC is a 1st party title much like Resistance is a 1st party.

That's true, which means we can be pretty sure of WKC being one. I also expect a few PSNs, fingers crossed they've got some advanced PSEye games to demonstrate after neglecting that peripheral so much. (Perhaps EyePet is one of the unlisted titles? Shame if so)

 

[Nesh]

And a god damn price cut

Well, and same thing with White Knight; 2nd party. I have a feeling that Sony is referring to SCE published titles though (and thus 1st & 2nd) vs simply true internal studio games.

Here's Demon Soul: http://www.ps3fanboy.com/2008/10/01/demons-souls-looks-like-current-gen-shadow-of-the-colossus/

I wouldn't be surprised if some of these so-called unannounced games are already known beforehand though. I mean 9 unannounced (but playable ?) game is a lot to hide.

If it was 9 new games and knowing sony we would be playing these new games in... 2010?

Quite true !

The Demon Soul website has opened: http://www.jp.playstation.com/scej/title/demons-souls/

Looks nice.

Patapon 2 might be one of them: http://www.jp.playstation.com/scej/title/enkaku/

Speculation time! I'll have a go.
OPM UK made comments about a "super sexy secret game" being announced at TGS.
http://www.qj.net/OPM-Sony-s-super-sexy-secret-game-will-be-revealed-at-TGS-next-month/pg/49/aid/124410

I did a bit of investigation into this and I am certain this is the game the BBC guy has been going on about.

From what I understand, it was shown behind closed doors at the Game Developer's Conference in February (when the BBC man, Darren Waters, first started running his mouth about it) then shown again behind closed doors at E3.
http://whatifgaming.com/scea-hides-new-game-up-sleeve-closed-door

Two of the moderators over at Eurogamer forums (one of whom is the sites owner and founder, Rupert Loman or "rauper") claim to have seen the game alluded to by Darren Waters. They refused to go into specifics about it, but they did confirm that they were shown a gameplay trailer and not prerendered CG.


Nobody has a clue who the game is being developed by, but the vague descriptions about this project seem like nothing Team Ico would produce (a guy in a black Crysis like suit? Immersion and storytelling that push the envelope? Sounds nothing like Team Ico, they favour more enigmatic forms of storytelling) and shortly after GDC in February there were suspicious noises about a Liverpool developed action game.
And now herein lies the problem/mystery: all of the (admittedly vague) signs point towards this game being Western developed game, so why the hell is it being announced at an eastern game show?

I personally wouldn't have counted Patapon 2 and LocoRoco 2 as previously unnanounced titles. But maybe it's different for Japan? LocoRoco is about to be released even, isn't it?
