What is Sony's mystery E3 game?

The BBC is teasing that mystery Sony game yet again. When BBC's Darren Waters first described this mystery game, he noted that "we could be on the brink of a step change in what games consoles are capable of in terms of story-telling and immersion." However, Waters was surprised that they did not show this game. MAG was cool, yes, but it was not the game this BBC writer was teasing. "This was not the game I was referring to ... And so I still can't talk about it. Or even tell you what it's called."

The mystery E3 game is no longer a mystery. It was Heavy Rain. As for the game the BBC reporter keeps teasing us about, we'll just have to wait and see. My guess? It's from Team ICO. I mean what else can it be? It's obviously 1st party.

1.2 - lets face it
nobody knows what it is, so even the developer's are being tight lipped. The people who do, signed NDA's. Whatever it is, its big enough to scare anyone who signed the NDA to be afraid of sony coming after them if they do tell.

IMHO: we should have never been told about it, there is no point in saying there is an awesome game coming and giving us nothing to go on. I wish i'd never heard about i would rather have been fully blown away, this is the perfect example of why when you hear news first you also hears tidbits first which is the tradeoff from going on sites like these aside from the bs.

1.3 - WRONG
This is a meme that won't die...Darren Waters, the author of the BBC Articles came out and said, unequivocally, that it was NOT HEAVY RAIN

1.4 - Guys, guys!
He said the mystery game at E3 was Heavy Rain, the game that was behind closed doors. However, he acknowledged we don't know what the mystery game announced by the BBC reporter is. Don't be so violent with the disagrees

Heavy Rain is not a mystery game.

The game play may be a mystery, yes. But the game itself was announced ages ago...

1.6 - i think
sony uk dropped development of the getaway and 8 days for this game cause they saw more potential in it.

whatever they saw in this game must be huge to stop developing those 2 games as they both looked like they could be really good

Where did you hear it was a Sony UK game? My assumption was that its the new Team ICO game. The only thing i can think of if its Sony UK is, Heavenly Sword 2? I mean the BBC guy did talk about immersive story telling. I doubt it though. It's probably a brand new title

i highly doubt its Heavy Rain since its already been announced a while back, there is a small possibility that its Heavenly Sword 2 as some already said, if not it must be a new IP that could kill any game out there, (FPS, TPS, MMO and PRG/JPRG in one?) .. i mean there sky is the limit of what this could be...

It doesnt have to be from Sony UK studios! He was there when it was shown and it is a likely possibility, but he was also shown games like resistance 2 on his visit which we all know isn't from the UK...

Oh and there were more than one "secret" games shown at E3 btw =P

2.2 - That flying thing your talking about is
from the game fracture. Check for yourself, its on the PSN's E32008 sizzle video.

With that said can we let this man in the black suit with orange stuff on him die!

5.2 - HD Pong...
With a new 4 way mode where each player has an edge of the screen.

The 'unlucky' players are located at the top and bottom but get bigger bats to make up for the larger goal area.

It's probably Tetris 4D though...

8 - I'm thinking it's a new IP...
It can possibly be Heavy Rain since no gameplay whatsoever was shown ever since it was teased by way of a tech demo. If it's going to be HR, then I will be pleased. If it's a game from Team ICO, bring it on! Sony's momentum is extraordinarily awesome!

9 - Whatever it is
I hope they tell us about it when it's actually coming out within the same year. I love clips of Infamous and i'm stoked to finally see more news on Heavy Rain. But i want whenever they show this game to be coming out within a year's time whenever it is revealed.
