BBC gets a glimpse at 'secret' PS3 title

by Scott Jon Siegel on Feb 25th 2008 6:45PM

We already covered the BBC's details on Motorstorm 2, but we neglected to mention one of the other titles they looked at. Specifically, the super-secret one.

It seems the BBC was shown a trailer for an unannounced game not due out until 2009. According to "the Beeb," the secret title may redefine the capabilities of Sony's console, and could potentially be the shifting point "in what game consoles are capable of in terms of story-telling and immersion." Standard NDAs aside, the title is under tight-enough wraps that then-VP Phil Harrison was caught off-guard when the BBC mentioned the title to him during GDC.

Our thoughts? Either the BBC is overreacting to a game early in development, or Sony could be gearing up for a big announcement later this year. Either way, color us intrigued. Secretly intrigued.

Halo 4.

Super Smash Brothers Revolutions?

"The shifting point in what game consoles are capable of in terms of story-telling and immersion." Hmmm.

Dead or Alive Extreme Beach Volleyball 3!
This time it's rated AO.

PS3 Sports.

Duh, it's 'Laurel & Hardy vs Three Stooges Ultra Hyper Turbo HD Remix II'

Metal Gear Solid 4 - Substantiance

Is this the game that's going to make the PS3 a competitive product?

Road Rash 4

yeah, they are going to revolutionize gaming with a sequel to an average FPS. Poor graphics and average game play.

Mister Mosquito for the PS3.

Dr. Who.

This is likely part of the Sony super-hype train and will probably be a let-down like most of the hype Sony peddles. But we shall see!

Yet... those were the words of the BBC, not Sony.

yeh much like MS's Halo 3.

Marketing and high sales got ppl confused whether to actually stick with it or ditch it

lego batman....

Nooo, its lego Killzone :)

Getaway 3 or Eight Days are my guesses... both have been found missing for sometime since their initial trailers back in 2K5.

Finally they are porting NetHack to the PS3!!

hilarious comment.

'"in what game consoles are capable of in terms of story-telling and immersion'

Jessica Alba naked!

not anymore man...

Not into preggos, I presume? XD

It's probably the new Getaway game...

Blasto 2 :)

Unless the power of the Cell Processor was able to reanimate the decayed corpse of Phil Hartman, Do Not Want.

I choose option C, Sony has purchased the British government and the BBC is a giant shill.

Hahahah.

They could, if they were nintendo, but the PS3 hasn't seen profits in... ever.

I don't know if your just a troll, or horribly uninformed, or both.

"in what game consoles are capable of in terms of story-telling and immersion."

Immersion Engine(TM)?

I'll save my anticipation until details are released.

Apocalypse 2! Now with MORE Bruce Willis!!!

Oh come on, they were shown pre-rendered cinematics and told it was in game footage. This IS SONY. Remember Killzone 2.

First it was in-game footage.
Then it was what they were aiming for.
Then it was just a cinematic.

It would be like watching that kick-ass Halo 3 ad, where someone tells you that that was in-game footage. You would be like, "this will change videogames forever".

ok , but look at killzone 2 now. It looks better than what it did in the trailer. So by your logic this game will be miles beyond what he actually saw.

Killzone 2 does look good, but c'mon, it doesn't live up to the origional trailer. (Although, it does come pretty frickin' close.)

"It looks better than what it did in the trailer."

lol?

Why dont you look at the side by side. it does look better.

I've seem them side by side and there is a notable difference, with the cinematic looking better. Needless to say, the game is still beautiful qo_op

qo_op,

Yeah, the graphics look really good pre-rendered and in-game, but the actual gameplay was what I was really referring to. When you are told something that plays like an interactive movie and told it is actual gameplay footage, you get excited.

Whatever this story refers to, I am sure it is not the actual graphical prowess of the game. We can already achieve that near photorealism, but not the whole
"plays like real life" thing. Heck, Crysis is still a standard FPS when you take away the pretty graphics.

Kz2's screenshots look better than the original cinematic, but they're fake. Oh, I'm sorry, "touched up." Dramatically. In Photoshop.

Yep. Sony PR people don't mind lying.

are you being served? the video game

Is that like Diner dash?

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Are_you_being_served

You remind me of a very young Mrs Slocombe.

A new Spyro game!!!

Oh wait I know,Peggle Extreme right?

The Return of the Harrison =)

I'm intrigued. When it’s going to hit the XB360?

J/K

arctic thunder 2!

A remake of NES classic Duck Tales by Capcom.

I bet he saw LA Noire the new game from Rockstar (Take Two) since Sony let Rockstar break their timed exclusive of GTA IV. The game sounds awesome its about 1940's LA and you play a detective. My guess is its something like the Black Dhalia (a fantastic movie).
