'Major' PS3 Exclusive To Be Announced In August?
Posted by Leigh Alexander at 7:40 AM on July 24, 2008
The PlayStation Lifestyle blog promises that on August 3rd, a "MAJOR" PlayStation 3 exclusive will be announced that makes MAG, Killzone 2 and inFAMOUS look like "NOTHING" (yes, the author seems to like all-caps).
The blog also says it'll offer three hints on Saturday, July 26th, stressing that it is a "new" PlayStation 3 "exclusive". In this case, it's the author, not I, who put those words in quotes — does that make anyone else a little leery?
Right now, all that's up in the post is a reminder that the announcement is unrelated to Square Enix's event over the same August date. Uh, oo-kay? Oh yeah, and they've got three words listed, all of them crossed out with strikethrough:
RPG
FPS
Next gen Twisted metal
Real? Hoax? Guess we'll find out.
Announcing MAJOR new PS3 exclusive on 3 August [PlayStation Lifestyle]

Lots of people can't tell that its not a RPG, due to them reading about 5 words of the post.
I dunno what it could be, its not Max Payne 3 who ever said that because that team have to bloody finish Alan Wake first.
Seriously though people can't tell the difference between FF7 and a RPG. About 70 of these comments think its gonna be a RPG, and I thought this site was for the intelligent gamers?
ZOE3 would be wicked, although I don't think they could honestly announce that yet? Im guessing Rockstars Project.

News seems epic enough. It is due to be released in "late 2009".
So, a brand new IP?, ZOE3 would be pretty creamy.

I would guess ZOE or FF7 remake, but they said it had nothing to do with the square DK event (in which square also said they would be revealing a major announcement that would quote "shock fans in attendance")
Twisted metal would have been "close" but by no means way bigger then MAG or killzone. Hrm? Im stumped, and they've got my attention:o

Oooh, let the speculation begi... continue.
An exclusive huh? My guess is one of three:
1. Team Ico's new game
2. Naughty Dogs new game (Jak & Daxter?)
3. Rockstar's new game (an supposed PS3-exclusive as mentioned by Jack Tretton on E3 last year)

I sit here with the difficult task of deciding which is more likely;
1. Sony deliberately bury a mind blowing exclusive at E3 then choose to announce it through a tiny blog the same day they will all be at the Square Enix event...
2. Some attention seeking loser lied on the internet.

@fearing: Don't be so sure, it could be FFVII - 2: Dirge of Heccubus which is a squad-based FPS. The big twist is that you find out Aeris faked her own death to go undercover to bust a moogle poaching ring.
Oh boy, I can't wait to read all the fake letters from fake kids with Aspergers who feel betrayed by that one.

To be serious for a moment, a few posters on Eurogamer think it could be a new IP called 'Magna Carta: Tears Of Blood' - apparently that's the game the BBC reporter has been alluding to.
[www.n4g.com]
It's a bit of a silly link now as it's partly about the now cancelled 8 Days. It does, however, briefly mention Tears of Blood at the bottom of the article.
Could all be bollocks in the end though. Suppose time will tell.

Not an RPG, I was gonna say FFVII until that, now I have no idea, this just sounds like hyperbole, I can't think of something as big as they are trying to make it seem that would actually be resonable.

Fanboy or not, there are a lot of good games for both platforms. I just have zero interest in any of the first-party games for Sony. They make a quality hardware system, but for now, I'll stick with my trusty ol' PS2 and play Shadow of the Colossus.

He added the following tags as hints apparently:
"100, 18+, 1st party, 2003, Action, Addictive, Bullets, clan, customize, Explosions, Fast, King of the hill, Lasers, military, online, PlayStation 3, PS2, rockets, Scale, skill, Vehicle, Violence."
At least going by that, it doesn't sound like a Team ICO game, unless they've gone in a completely new direction. It would also rule out the Rockstar game since it says first party.
Maybe a PS3 Syphon Filter game.
I still have a gut feeling this will blow over without any announcement at all, but I hope I'm wrong.

Exclusive was in quotation marks in the article. So it's not completely new IP or truly exclusive. Most likely a console exclusive. So I think it's a huge PC game. D3 fits that bill.

Kidding
From what i understand, that "new" "exclusive" thing probably really means a NEW game in the sense of a new franchise, new title, probably not related to any title done in the past.
However, if it will be something completely new, how can i eclips games like Killzone 2 and inFamous, who have been presented over and over again, and people have been hyped about for a looong time? People can't be blown away by a completely new IP they know nothing about and is presented for the 1st time ever, unrelated to anything.
Thus, i would probably have to put my fingers on a new game made by a famous company....or a remake of a super-mega-famous game that blew people away...
Therefore the only candidates i can think of are the "mystery exclusive game" by famous publisher ROCKSTAR, or a remake of a famous game, most probably FINAL FANTASY 7

I have a feeling that it's oft-touted Rockstar exclusive game. I don't think it's Team Ico's next game - even though that's my most anticipated PS3 game - just because we kinda all know that they're working on it right now and it wonn't be coming out on anything but PS3. If someone were to ask me my purely "dream" project? Hmm, maybe Parasite Eve 3.

@parad0x360:
This is an unofficial Sony site. Sony has not said ANY of this.
Personally, I think this guy is full of shit. Here's a FFVII spin-off game he is also "confirming"
I can now reveal exclusive inside info about Final Fantasy… VII!
According to our insider, Final Fantasy VII may be getting a spin-off version of the classic game from the massive franchise and it will be exclusive to the PLAYSTATION 3. It is unclear whether a new version will be a Blu-ray release, or on the PSN. Something else which will be coming to the PS3 is the original FF7 which will be on the PlayStation Network by the end of the year.
Both of this info will be officially announced at either Square Enix's August conference in Japan, or the Tokyo Game Show.

I must say Sony doesn't need something to be overhyped like this. We're all going to be disappointed with this kind of build-up no matter what it is. Especially since its not a Team ICO game, nor Kingdom Hearts 3, nor FFVII remake, nor anything else we really really want.

Of course since the 3 listed games are all unproven ip thats an even worse thing to say. The first Killzone was terrible, MAG could be excellent but it could be a bomb and infamous sounds amazing.

I really wish companies would get over this whole process of teasing upcoming announcements of still to come future teaser trailers for things yet to come. Countdowns to trailers are stupid, but countdowns to breaking news just seem far too contrived.
Either you have information you want to share, or you don't.
This process has become the "under construction" equivalent of information sharing... like a bad idea from early web development that made its way into PR.
It's like saying "I've got nothing... but soon I will... be sure to keep paying attention because I'll soon be worth paying attention to". Just wake me when you have something... not three days early. I need the sleep, thanks.
Aw screw it... I'm a sucker... I'll keep paying attention anyway.

The thing I take from this "annoucement" is that it is implied, that this is from an established 3rd party company that has a great reputation for making GREAT games. That's why I said ZOE3. I don't think, this would've been a big deal for a first party company, unless it's Team ICO or Santa Monice that is hard at work with God Of War III. However, I don't think it's God of War III because that has already been announced.
