Rumor: Sony has 20 un-known exclusives in development for PS3

[Zeus]

In one of those I heard from a friend rumors, a Sony Japan employee has reportedly revealed that Sony's internal studios have over 20 yet to be revealed projects for the PS3. The only extra bit of information is that ICO is reportedly working on two of these exclusives.



Yesterday in a heated IM discussion about which of the three console makers is going to have the strongest line-up this year, a friend of mine who works at Sony Computer Entertainment Japan blurted out that Sony's internal studios have up their sleeves more than 20 yet-to-be-revealed projects for PlayStation 3.

Intrigued by this I asked if he could give me some examples. Project Siren (makers of the Forbidden Siren franchise), Team Saru (creators of the Ape Escape series) and Team ICO are three of the studios who're getting ready to reveal their new projects this year. After some more pushing, he told me that all he knows about Team ICO is that the team is working on two games, both for PS3.

My guess now is that Team ICO is indeed working on two games, none of which is for PSP. Most probably one is for PSN (hence the need of staff specialized in networking technology) and the other is headed for a Blu-ray disc release.

well i'd hope there would be atleast 20 unannounced exclusives, it would be hard to swallow to think all the exclusive games that are coming out have been announced

[Beezer]

AWESOME!

Can´t wait for Uncharted 2-5, Gran Turismo 6-10, Final Fantasy 15-19, Jak & Dexter 6-8, and so on .... :p

[ShinoBboy]

LOL...Team ICO already announced Shadow Of The Colossus 2 (great game) when it the first one reached greatest hits status. Anyways, come on folks, its Sony and they will have something hidden up on their sleeves in order to make the console live at its lenghtiest lifespan just like the PS1 & 2.

Well exclusives gave the PS2 the success it experienced , too bad Sony didn't get the timing as good as they did last gen.

[Kamalot]

How many of these are downloadbale games like Pain and that skiing game?

I can imaging 20 downloadable Playstation network games...

Shadow of the colossus is one of the most unique and extraordinary games on the ps2 ever

[Claxiux]

Shadow of the colossus 2 was never anonced, the only existing facts link the game to codename 'Trico' and an advert inside a japanese magazine that said they were looking "for artists" instead of "programers" XD for their next game. Its surely a secret title and it will be the most awesome seen to date. I can asure you that:)

A Jak and Daxter game will do some serious justice!
As for the 20 exclusives ....um duh...but i highly doubt in this physical year.
If so, why not?

While I loved Ico, I got bored really fast with SoC. Never even finished the game.

Is this really a surpise to anyone though? Every company has games lined up that they haven't discussed. Maybe its something new and they don't want someone copying them or they are still early in the planning stages. This is why Nintendo never shows too much of their first party titles for fear of others ripping them off.

I'm shocked that Sony is making exclusive games for their consoles. What's next Mario games just on Nintendo systems?

[Xenogears V]

[arcticjoe]

why yes of course! 20 games, secretly developed ...so that they can ... um, surprise people! thats right, sony is so cool they arent even gonna publicly announce the development of games, which would generate interest and be good for the ailing brand...
in the other news, a friend of a friend of a friend told me 360 is gonna release 200 exclusive titles in 2009!! OMG OMG, sum1 alert zeus omg!!

[Evolution]

This is a total non story. Every company on the market has 'unnanounced exculsives'

I mean just how far into development does it have to be before it can considered as being 'in development'?

Post it notes on the wall?
Concept art?
Script written?
Ads in the magazines looking for new talent?
Team gearing up for project?
Crunch?
Pre alpha?
Alpha?
Beta?
Demo?
Gold?
Retail?

Load of nonsense.
