If the "secret" BBC PS3 game isn't Heavy Rain then this HAS TO be it. And I'm pretty sure that by "soon" he means TGS in October.

I simply cannot wait to see what this team is able to accomplish with the power of the PS3. They've already created two of my favorite games of all time and I'm giddy with excitement over what their next offering could be. They've already managed so much with reletively little experience. I can only see their future projects improving.

Here's hoping for something at TGS! *crosses fingers*

5 - ICO was the shiz
I never got to play Shadow Of Colossus. Gutted because I never saw it here in NZ. If ICO was anything to go by then I cant wait for this title. Where are ICO based ??

lol, I'm the opposite. Played SOTC but never got to ICO but I'm sure I saw SOTC in stores like DSE and The Warehouse, they probably still have copies left, you should try pick one up.

Never got to to play SOTC but Ico looked like a PS3 game. Yes I'm exaggerating a little but I remember a lot of the environments and it brings to mind Uncharted(Without the HD and Hi-res textures).

6 - dang..
Sony is really trying to put a beat down on the 360 right now with all these announcments.. There going for the KO!! I can name like 10 or 12 triple AAA exclusive games coming out in the next year or so for the ps3.. 5 of them in the next couple of months, resistance 2, motorstorm 2, socom, wipeout hd, and LPB.. I think we all know these games are going to be bad a$$.. And they still have a bunch of unannounced games like jak, uncharted 2, ICO game, and the list goes on..

Sony is really pulling out all the stops.. they Listened to all of us.. SHOW THE GAMES.. it looks like the 360 is lacking in the games department these days... Funny how the tides turned so quickly..

Hook me up with some bubbles.. Dang 360 fanboys took them from me.

If you think about it, sony has wised up a little. If you've noticed, they are now announcing games that are to be released next year, some of them early next year. And yes, we might have known about these before (e.g. heavy rain) but they weren't officially announced. Same with uncharted 2, we know it's coming, the devs have confirmed this, but nothing's been shown or announced. They have games in hand so that if microsoft were to try and steal the show, they can just announce a couple of exclusive games. That's exactly what happened at E3, you could tell sony wasn't really ready to show MAG (and GOW3), with just a trailer and a sh1t name. Now that we are closing on all these major releases, we're seeing more games that are coming out in the future.

Well "soon" can mean a lot of things, back in early 2007 the Home beta was coming "soon". Still with TGS round the corner that would mark the obvious time to release some information.

"soon" better be soon.

With Home it was a release date coming soon. With this there is an announcement coming soon. It's MUCH easier to announce a game then to deliver an app. I wouldn't doubt this info.

This guy is just so giddy over it, he's head of sony's world wide studios but its just this one game that he's excited about showing.

i think im starting to like the guy but im still pissed at him for telling us to ask the 3rd partys to put the classics on psn.

9 - Yoshida sounded really impressed by this title
He seems glad that Team ICO is one of Sony's strongest *first party* developers. I'm sure gamers everywhere can agree with that sentiment.

Come this fall, PS3 owners are in for a real treat!

Edit: I stand corrected. Thank you for the rectification.

No, Team Ico + Xbox just wouldn't go together.

is it just me, or does this Yoshida fella seem like a really good bloke, he doesn't pay out anyone and he doesn't talk like a propoganda PR machine, he talks in an extremely balanced manner that really makes me think he is a perfect substitute for Phill, maybe even better?.

I actually like this guy better then Reeves because this guy doesnt just talk, he backs up his talk with power house games like this game here being made by Team Ico, which I know is going to be nothing but pure amazingness. :)

12 - Finally
we will see another classic. Team ICO is best. alright guys a pumping speech hahaha.
it was the era of PS2 with System Memory: 32 MB
Vector Units: VU0 and VU1 (Floating Point Multiply Accumulator × 9, Floating Point Divider × 1), 128 bit, at 150 MHz
Floating Point Performance: 6.2 gigaFLOPS
3D CG Geometric transformation(VU0+VU1 parallel): 66 million polygons per second
Cache memory: Instruction: 16 KB
Graphics processing unit: "Graphics Synthesizer" clocked at 147 MHz
Audio: "SPU1+SPU2" (SPU1 is actually the CPU clocked at 8 MHz)
etc etc etc
and this team created Shadow of the clossus when u encounter 1st it was breathtaking and believe me i did not know about this game some dude at my store said this game sucks pick mortal kombat armageddon but i picked it and it was well worth it.
they have done wonders with PS2 which was inferior to all. now imagine what will this team + GOW team will do with the beast known as PS3.
thanx

Yeah, I think it would be a real missed opportunity to not announce it at TGS. That's assuming it's released in '09 though. Even if they give us a little taste to get an idea of what to expect, then I'd be happy.

Awesome! I wonder what it could be. I fell in love with Team Ico when I played SOTC, that game is just pure awesomeness it's in a genre of it's own and I know that their next game will be just as innovative and unique.

L.A. Noire. It's exclusivity isn't set in stone, but for the moment it counts.

White Knight Story is also coming out. Hopefully it's as good as it seems.

When have they not? 2.41 (for instance) was an update that the fans chose. The things people talked about most were put in. One easy example is the clock. Nobody at Sony suggested it, they just listened to the fans.
