Well, I'll say this: those are some pretty authentic looking fakes, if that's what they are. Does look like Famitsu.

Of course, I can't read Japanese, so the text could be a litany of "April fools!" for all I know.

I remember when Capcom made five Gamecube exclusives.

And to think, I announced these in the Dead Rising thread.... I should have waited.

it's not on a april fools joke... HOWEVER, it hasn't ben confirmed yet if these are ps3 exclusives. the games are being done by Project Aces, the team making Ace Combat 6.

also the pictures are clearly concept art, and should not be taken seriously.

Well, considering Cellius is working on these, I doubt Kutaragi would sign off on 360 versions.

Is anyone else reminded of Breakdown by Second Season 01? I always thought Breakdown was a gem, albeit a flawed one.

The concepts are interesting particularly Brave Arms. I thought the second scan was funny.

Where are you getting PS3 exclusivity out of those scans? The box which would normally hold the console is blanked out, and Namco-Bandai haven't publicly announced anything. Again, these are Namco-Bandai, not Cellius documents, so I'm not sure where the PS3 exclusivity is coming from.

Oh boy, now PS3 fanboys will put these in their "exclusives that pwn 360" lists, while there is little known about them. They used to do that with Warhawk and DMC4, look what happened to those :D

The caption under the third pic made me LMAO. An ex-Buckingham Palace guard trying to make a flight attendant have a complete existential breakdown? That would be the best plotline ever, even if it would be a very short game.

Those concepts are funny. If the head of Krazy Ken is behind this, where's his body? Is it hidden somewhere in the This is Living commercials? If you watch them seven days later headless Krazy Ken will come to kill you.

I offer these gems:

"Keeping the sword from becoming depressed, limp and otherwise useless... requires vigorous shaking of the Sixaxis and... "Prozac orbs."

"it is your goal to be as rude as humanly possible."

I didn't even bother taking a quote from the second. If these are not fakes, they are clearly the result of some very imaginative thinking.

If you guys look close at the Brave Arms screens, you will notice theres a map and a life bar at the bottom, so I doubt those are concept art.

Cellius was formed when? A month ago?

Frankly, this whole thing reeks of concept art and CGI stills to build hype (aka what Kutaragi does best).

I'm seeing complicated environments and settings, but not much in the way of interface or controls. Some of these look like cutscene material and not actual gameplay.

It has become problematic these days to pick fakes from the real thing...especially when Sony has poisoned the water hole with 'target renders'.

Good choice of the first SS at the top of the post, had a chuckle there (reads: "You're our only hope. You got that?"). And I assume you made up the BS translation of the other scans to see how many fanboys actually believe them.

All that aside, is it just me or do all of these seem like games that would work much better played on a Wii...

Muu: It's just you. You probably think EVERYTHING would play better on a Wii, though, so don't feel bad. But, at least now you know, right?

Anyway, these 3 games kind of look like they're 3 levels from the SAME game.

And what kind of a name is "Second Season 01"? I can't even fathom where, even if you ran something in Japanese through Babelfish, and it would spit that out.

"Man, doesn't the PS3 have anything besides shooters on it?"

Ironic since in only one of the three games, shooting is a major focus.

Brave Arms, you get as close as possible to take out the people through Melee combat. Chain Limit, you select the item and focus of your actions so, take for example, pulling the tap off the girls mouth or from that screenshot, biting the tape on the girls leg. Only Second Season can be considered a shooter.

1. where does it say cellius at all in those scans?
2. where does ti say any platform in thsoe scans?

it doesnlt and as ben debated on neogaf for days right now we don't even know i these are real or for what platform. my best guess would be multiplat befor i proclaim it s a ps3 exclussive.

WTF, descriptions must be someone having a joke. Someone translated the text over at Neogaf and it sounds nothing like that.

Where exactly does it say what system these games are (potentially) for? I saw this yesterday on a different site and could not find any evidence of a platform (PS3 or otherwise) anywhere. I’m not trying to be negative or anything, but as far as I can tell someone just somehow jumped to the conclusion that these were for PS3. Does anyone have a source for naming PS3 as the platform?

According to the other article Cellius opened on March 6th, there are no plans for Cellius to work directly on PS3 games, the new outfit will be producing "interactive entertainment" and "business contents".(I guess things change)

I doubt in two weeks they pulled out fully functional games out of their a**. I'll bet those are nothing more than cg concept target vid footage(Kuturagi's favorite).

Either way 3 new exclusive PS3 games is just the kind of news Sony needs to appease the fans.

personally, like i said before, i'm not too excited about these games. There's a good chance that they won't even make it to North America (Look at all the great PSP games they haven't released here). I'd rather see Ace Combat 6 on PS3 instead. (Common Sony, I know you can pull through)

Memo
To: Ken K. and Sony, and it's third party developers.

Please, learn to use punctuation and grammar.

Capitalization comes at the beginning of a word (flOw).

Punctuation goes at the end of a phrase or sentance (Chain Lim!t, Kill.Switch).

Yelling on the internet is rude (PLAYSTATION 3, SIXAXIS).

Please stop abusing language, or else we'll get a game called "1337ROFL,O'rLY?!111"

Thank You.

The Management

i dont see why these can't be actual screens, these games don't look much more advanced than House of the Dead 4 + some added HDR effects.

He's been called "Crazy Ken." Ken Kutaragi might've created the PS1 and the PS2, but it was the PS3 that made him seem out of touch. Or was it? It's no secret that Kutaragi is not a numbers guy (Kaz Hirai, he's your pencil pusher). No, Kutaragi's an engineer by trade. He likes to make stuff. And according to numerous insiders, Kutaragi has been itching to make games for months now. The Bandai Namco move isn't necessarily Sony shoving him in the corner. It could be something else entirely — A strengthening between the two entities, an opportunity for Sony to create more exclusive titles. (Kutaragi's son apparently is a manager at Bandai Namco, so this marriage more than makes sense.) Moreover, unlike Hirai, Kutaragi is a gamer. He's a big FPS and RPG fan, so don't be shocked if you see him churn out a mis-mash of both. Does Sony shuffling Kutaragi around in the organize mean he's made mistakes? Definitely. But is he now irrelevant? Hardly.

yup its true..these games is ps3 exclusive

@ Joe

The problem here is that you will only see bashing when it hsa to do with Sony, now if you say something about Nintendo (I love Nintendo, but its true) or Microsoft, then its all cool, no matter how high your failure rate is...


"Frankly, this whole thing reeks of concept art and CGI stills to build hype (aka what Kutaragi does best)."

And so does Microsoft....Halo anyone?

Meh, they could be true, if they are awesome, but as for now, no reason to get your hopes up...(at lesat til april's fool is over, heh)

No Muu, I doubt it's only just you, however those who prefer the PS3 or 360 would have you believe otherwise. I guess that's how people are when they see cool looking games (in concept form no less) and automatically attach themselves to it (rather ravenously I might add) and insisting that it can no way be a concept for a Wii game (or PC even). If it was a concept only look of Opoona, I doubt many would be jumping out of the woodwork like starved animals (first one to get there gets the big meaty pieces).

If I were to guess, I think what we see here is a game for each system. Hey, it's as good a guess as any. No one's automatically wrong for thinking any which way. So, I think Brave Arms is PS3 (reminds me of MGS4's Raiden or Ninja Gaiden Sigma), Chain Limit is Wii (looks like a combination of point and click puzzle solving and action shooter), and Second Season is 360 (well, it looks like a first-person view game, like the Xbox game Breakdown, combined with crime solving elements).
