Sony's Potential Unannounced Exclusives

3rd party exclusive is hard to come by, 1st party exclusive is now the pillar of power.

Sony announced a lot of stuff in their long E3 conference such as Zipper's MAG and Bend's Resistance Retribution but is there more they are not showing us? Sony has acquired a lot of studio over the past ten years and not all of them have produce games since acquisition, what is going on? Are they hiding something from the gamers? Will we see more in TGS?

well Sony has biggest 1st party dev

jwatt5768d ago

I think alot of the devs from the SCE London Studio has been helping out on Home along side another game that we don't know of.

Bombibomb5768d ago (Edited 5768d ago )

And Wardevil is a 3rd party exclusive coming in 2009. The 360 version was canceled. It never even went into development.

jkhan5768d ago

That is one of the reason they don't care about third party exclusive. They know for the cost to acquire a third party exclusive, its better the invest that amount in first part developers. Which is where Sony's real strength is, which is why Sony will not be a big loser. We know that they are cooking up something big. TeamICO is the one I am most excited about. Let see what Sony announces at Leipzig.

Hydrolex5768d ago

those games are stopped, not cancelled

StephanieBBB5768d ago

where the hell did Mafia 2 go???? =S

TheMART5767d ago

There isn't so much to steal by MS from Sony on the 3rd party, because most that could be stolen is already on the 360.

One of the two most important PS games lately, FFXIII, the other one from Konami could still make the crossover.

So yes, I agree, the 1st party stuff from Sony becomes more and more important. Little Big Planet is the one most appealing to a wide audience.

Big question is though how long many of those 1st party IPs will be delayed, like God of War III and GT5, if you ask me two big ones.

ZeroBlitz5767d ago

Nope, sadly there was an article a while back that said Sony had canned them to put the money towards some other game/s. It's too bad since I was rather interested in Eight Days but if the money is better spent improving another great game or two, it's not a big deal.

It's good to be reminded that Sony have got a major advantage over Microsoft after FFXIII went multiplat - I've seen so many people say they're not getting a PS3 now, it's disappointing. With so many more exclusives and multiplat PS3 games reaching the sort of quality they are on the 360, it looks like the PS3 has a fair chance of winning the console war. Especially if trophies become standard for every new game soon.

Infernus5767d ago

This could very well be it. Hardware: Online Arena was released once the PS2 got online capabilities. The PSTwo (Slim version) gained the internal network adapter and Online Arena was the first game to hit (a 1st party title literally given to players on their introduction network disc).

While I have no proof (Neither does anyone else here), out of those games Hardware 2 would appear to be the most likely. It's unknown to the majority and has had no mention at all anywhere. Heavy Rain is mentioned constantly in topics like this, so it won't be that, and it has already been confirmed that Heavy Rain is not the game they're talking about.

So Hardware2 (H2:OA?) is my choice for 1st party. However I still feel Free Radical will bring TimeSplitters 4 to the PS3 exclusively (Timed), which could come as a side announcement to this 'big-hitter' we're hearing such great things about.

i bet they will have a surprise for soon.
New jak game?
FF7 remake?
it can be anything

Sonics0205768d ago

In this age game consoles will have to rely on first and second party titles and Sony has an excellent first party so you can expect to see some great games coming from Sony.

SRuN45768d ago (Edited 5768d ago )

Couple things that make me just wanna slap whoever wrote this. Insomniac is opening a studio in North Carolina, not Georgia. And didn't Jaffe already confirm they were working on a new Twisted Metal until Sony told him to keep quiet? Other than those two things it's a good look at their dev studios.

Splenda145768d ago

Sony London is working on home

PwnShop5768d ago

yeah, i think they're the same team that were working on getaway and eight days until Sony canceled there projects to focus on finishing home

thePatriot5768d ago

incognito with hardware 2 (working title)

Sheddi5767d ago

They didnt cancel them, they stopped them to work on them later.

deeznuts5767d ago

Microsoft once tried to nab LittleBigPlanet from Sony after a few drinks

It turns out that many moons ago, Microsoft once had its eye on the Sony published LittleBigPlanet series.

Microsoft had a good idea but fumbled it again.

Cacabunga1d 7h ago (Edited 1d 7h ago )

Project Spark idea was decent but they quickly gave up ..
LBP was wonderful

ApocalypseShadow2d ago

Microsoft in a nutshell. Always tried to poach Sony employees, games, 3rd party games and devices like the depth camera that was turned into Kinect but was running on PS2 before Xbox 360. Wouldn't be surprised they wanted LBP. Just like they worked behind the scenes pushing the MLB to bring Sony's baseball game to Xbox instead of making their own.
https://www.playstationlife...

They didn't spend years trying to develop their own baseball game. They wanted Sony's game.

They're scum.

Zachmo1821d 6h ago

Microsoft didn't force MLB on Xbox. MLB gave Sony 2 options either go multiplat or risk losing the license.

Rynxie20h ago

And why do you think MLB said that? I believe Ms approached MLB.

ApocalypseShadow19h ago(Edited 19h ago)

Totally ridiculous comment.

The only exclusivity Sony had was to their own creation of The Show. Microsoft could have paid the MLB for the license just like Sony did and made their own baseball game.

Microsoft instead, groomed MLB for years in trying to poach Sony's game and bring it to Xbox. They're worth 3 TRILLION dollars. You think that's not enough money to make their own baseball game? Don't be delusional.

Microsoft spun it like they always do and told the media that they had to trust Sony with their hardware. After they put Sony in that position of not having a choice. Either go multiplatform or stop making one of their successful games. That's a no win scenario.

And what did Microsoft do? They didn't try to sell the game to the Xbox community. They put it on game pass to hurt Sony. Pushing the idea of why buy games that are $70 when you can play them in their cheap service for $10. It was a dirty tactic.

You fell for the Kool aid drink Microsoft served you instead of spitting it out. Hope it tasted good because you were fooled by Phil and the gang.

Xbox executive Sara Bond has told Axios that Microsoft spent a number of years trying to get MLB The Show onto Xbox consoles. And when it finally succeeded in breaking off PlayStation’s long-held exclusivity, the company had to “trust” Sony with pre-release Xbox Series X/S consoles.

Bond revealed that MLB The Show “always came up” in conversations between Microsoft and the Major League Baseball organization. “We always said, ‘We love this game. It would be a huge opportunity to bring it to Xbox.'” she recalled. However, when Microsoft’s efforts materialized, it put the company in an awkward situation where it had to send in pre-release consoles to a rival company.

They were too cheap/inept/lazy to develop their own mlb game, so they port begged for years and bribed the mlb to make the show multiplatform. Like i said many times, xbox brought nothing to the table their 24 years, ZERO.

"However, Healey said Media Molecule wouldn't have felt right doing that, adding it would have been "morally corrupt"."

Major kudos to Media Molecule for being an upright studio with principles.

RNTody1d 9h ago (Edited 1d 9h ago )

Great, more stories like this please. Show the last of the zombies holding the line what we've been saying for years: Microsoft is anti competition, anti industry and has no interest in making games at all.

But hey, at least there's an Xbox Games Showcase to look forward to, right?

Inverno1d 8h ago

Well considering SONY just killed the series, LBP would've been dead by now either way. Though MM probably wouldn't exist by now either, so I'm glad they stayed with SONY, hopefully they don't get shut down any time soon or ever honestly.

Sheppard7t31d 6h ago

How did Sony kill the series?

Inverno1d 6h ago

They shut down the servers, that's millions of user created levels gone. That and dead are pretty much the same, it's also been years since 3 and they cancelled HUB soooo.

fsfsxii16h ago

They shutdown the servers because no one was playing, no one in the community cared about the user created levels so why keep them up? Wtf you guys would never succeed in running a business.

Inverno15h ago

Yea dood no one was playing so they shut off the servers. Cause people with enough common sense can't just Google why they were actually shut of, right?
