Rumor: Sony makes a big exclusivity deal

From the article: We have received a tip from a source close to the gaming community that Sony plans on announcing something at E3 that will be on the scale of "when Sony announced GTA: San Andres' timed exclusivity".

[fr0sty]

both mgs rising and ff14 are likely. not so much gt5 since the source was so careful to point out that it didn't mean it was a rockstar game (but they also didn't say it wasn't from R* either).

[blitz0623]

Wonder what the reaction would be if Square decided on an FFVII remake.

[qface64]

(insert name here) has a big surprise for E3 wow that prediction is so awesome

[fr0sty]

hmm... good guess!

[Kerrby]

Three things.

1. "when Sony announced GTA: San Andres' timed exclusivity" isn't overly that big.

2. Even if it was something like timed-exclusivity (the article didn't specify), Sony aren't Microsoft and wouldn't waste their money on that.

3. NOTHING was even said about the announcement. Just that Sony has a "big surprise". As said above, when don't they have a big surprise at E3 :/.

[fr0sty]

"Sony aren't Microsoft and wouldn't waste their money on that. "

Oh, and you think that FF13 being exclusive in japan and Ghostbusters exclusive in europe weren't paid for by Sony?

And how is announcing the timed exclusivity of a game that sold over 20 million copies (17.3 mil of those on ps2) not a big deal?

[iamtehpwn]

THAT would be megaton.

[Biggest]

While I know nothing about the Ghostbusters deal (Did anyone seriously care about that game?) I do know that the install base for 360 in Japan is lacking. You would have to pay Square-Enix to make it for 360. The cost of putting the game together would be far above the sales figures.

[Devil MAY KILL]

1-Final Fantasy VII remake

or

2-devil may cry 6

or

3-gears of war 3.

or

4-Metal Gear Solid 5

or

5-Grand Theft Auto 5

I think that would be a naquadah enhanced gigaton

[despair]

@ frosty

the FFXIII exclusivity in japan was a square enix thing not sony as the install base of x360s in japan is borderline none...not to mention no japanese person is going to play it on a 360 when they have a ps3 as choice.

Don't know about the ghostbuster thing but you can be sure Sony won't do a dumb move like play a crap load of money for a couple months exclusive take the GTA4 addons, its coming to ps3 and pc soon while microsoft paid a lot for a few months. Sony on the other hand got the joker challenges in Batman AA exclusive and it still hasn't and probably won't ever be available on the 360.

[SnuggleBandit]

please please please be grand theft auto 5!!!!!

[mikeslemonade]

GTA5 should be only for PS3, PC, and Xbox 720. If it comes out for 360 than it's going to be a last gen game like how GTA4 was. We're still waiting for a current gen GTA and so far Agent seems like it's going to be the first.

[TotalPS3Fanboy]

because of this:

http://www.siliconera.com/2...

[Maddens Raiders]

they would say all games should be exclusive to the PS3. The PS3 should be the lead on all games going forward until nextnext gen. That's being fair to yourself and all other gamers as no game would be purposefully retarded (technically) or dumbed down. This is a scenario for a perfect world, because of course some won't know how to intelligently interpret my words and will burn up in a crucible of their own "i'll be damned" beliefs. I'm just a messenger, reality speaks for itself quite well. Ok, I'm done.

[Sarcasm]

Big Surprise = Killzone 3 or Resistance 3.

People should stop hyping E3 to the ends of the world and go in an insane madness waiting to find out what it is though. Let's just let E3 come when it comes.

[SCThor]

Bubbles for the Stargate reference over there...nice one

[Rumor]

O HAI! ;)

[Digitaldude]

Juicy. Despite all the rumors one thing is sure, E3 will own this year.

[vhero]

@fr0sty - hahahaha you honestly think Sony paid for exclusivity for FFXIII in Japan? S-E publiclly came out and said it was due to the fact there was so little 360's in Japan it was not cost effective to make a Japanese version of the 360 port. God 360 fanboys just show how stupid they are time and time again.

As for ghostbusters don't Sony like own movie rights to the game? so technically it didn't cost them a penny to make that deal? Basically that deal was made in return for the creators to release the game on 360? So yeah.. Sony havn't paid for exclusives this gen like MS especially timed ones not that we publicly know anyways.

[BattleAxe]

Could be Medal of Honor seeing as how its already using the PS3 as the lead platform.

[Jamegohanssj5]

It will only be big to me if they announce GTA VC PS3. Other than that it's small news.

TGSI

[Syronicus]

It will be awesome. Each year, Sony has announced something that in some cases seemed underwhelming but turned out to be awesome. Look at MAG, it was not the biggest or best announcement last year but the game turned out to be great and it pushed the limits of online gaming for a console. You can bet that this year, Sony will be announcing something that will blow your mind. Pure and simple.

[mugoldeneagle03]

I really see no reason for Sony to spend money (I assume) when their lineup for 2010 is this strong. Exclusively Sony still has GT5, FFXIV, The Last Guardian, Agent, Mod Nation Racers, DC Universe, The Agency and SOCOM 4 (obviously all pending release dates)

That's not including rumored titles like Killzone 3, Resistance 3, "Starhawk", Twisted Metal let alone PlayStation Move and incorporate 3D gaming. That's A LOT of stuff to show off.

However, if, and this is a very big IF, they did snag some exclusive title my short list would be FFVII or Star Wars Battlefront III. If I remember correctly it was said Slant Six took the reigns after Free Radical dropped out right? Or hell, maybe even Force Unleashed 2. Sony has always had a strong relationship with LucasArts, and it'd be pretty damn cool if they focused their development time on using the 'Move' to the best of it's ability. Very attractive title to both kids and adults...

But yeah, I won't hold my breath. E3 will be big enough

(Sorry for long post)

[UltraNova]

Mass effect 1,2 and 3 on a single bluray disc slated for February 2011!

Just kidding :p

or if Sony wants to pay for an exclusive they can go as big as it gets and help Valve repent by making Half Life 3 PS3 and PC exclusive (well some people call these games exclusives so why cant I right? )

[sikbeta]

If it's going to be REAL Exclusive [no timed-exclusive] and for a "Big Game" is Great, if not, I prefer a New IP Developed by First Paty Devs with that money

[kevnb]

its already announced for pc, same with the agency and dc universe.

[arny]

If valve starts making games for ps3 it will be for 360 too they cant jsut send off the 360

[guitarded77]

I'm with you on this one (however unlikely it may be) I'm hoping for some SWBF3 or SWBF Online (I don't care what they're calling it, I just want it... like 12 months ago). Rumor is LA and Slant 6 are working on it and having /6 involved could mean PS3 as the lead platform, suggesting PS3 release exclusive... but the author doesn't give too much to go on... but at least it's a new hope.

[ThanatosDMC]

I just hope it can stand against a first party or second party exclusive game since we know how those look like.

[mugoldeneagle03]

I know they're on PC, but I'm not one of those if it's on PC it's not exclusive guys. I game on consoles, that's all that matters to me. That and my PC blows, ha.

[indysurfn]

The only thing on that scale would be WOW as in World of warcraft! Even crysis and FFVII would not be as big and have as big of a impact as GTA was back in the day.

[UltraNova]

Do you think that Rockstar would intentionally gimp GTA IV by putting it on a single DVD with even less space than the previous generation? I think not, that's not like Rockstar. BUT! When a big ass check comes banging on your door then you know what happens. Plus, GTA DLC timed exclusive to 360 (what happened to the love they had for Sony for 2 generations??).

What I am saying is that for the right amount of money Valve could even start bashing on the 360 for all I know! Based on Valve and their production values it would only make sense to develop a game of that caliber (HL3)on the ps3 first to take advantage of the blu-ray and the extra grant of the ps3, have it as time exclusive and then port it to the 360 a year later.. Even the factor of a game getting old (after a year as ps3/pc timed exclusive)would not apply to HL3, cause we all know we NEED to play that game!

Thats my 2 cents..

[xAlmostPro]

non rockstar games- ff14 could be announced exclusive or timed.

the same with metal gear rising, i think could be announced as a timed exclusive.

or timed exclusivity on medal of honour.

or this new hydraphobia game.

Rockstar Games - i think due to the recent talk, LA Noire could infact become ps3 exclusive again, or timed.

or like many others here possibly Grand theft auto 5, although it seems very cliche.

i say all of these ones, because its obviously got to be something that was announced multi platform or usually multi platform if its going to be on the same scale..

[MrMiyagi]

this had better not be one of those games that were built multiplatform at first, then turned exclusive later e.g. Haze

if i want an exclusive game, it better be built to take full advantage of the cell processor!

[InfectedDK]

Mass Effect and Left 4 Dead for PS3..
Lol, would destroy the 360.. xb

[gintoki777]

this is cool but what i really want is for sony to not lose ffvs13 please dont fck up this time.

[xAlmostPro]

FEAR 3 has just been announced.. maybe thats gonna be exclusive? ..

[thebudgetgamer]

get out of town.

Edit: no im just being smarmy

[fr0sty]

did you even read the article?

[ak3nji]

for using the word 'smarmy' properly and without hesitation

[life_sucks244]

I Hope its a New Hitman! Ive been waiting for Hitman(Working Title) to be out since Blood Money

[ThatCanadianGuy]

Mass effect 2 coming to PS3.

[fr0sty]

This was one of the first possibilities to cross my mind, but it isn't quite GTA big.

[-Alpha]

I wouldn't be TOO excited though. Many "PS3 game rumors" tend out to fizzle out, not come true, or fall short of expectations. I'm cautiously optimistic.

[SnuggleBandit]

Ya but would that fall under the category of exclusivity deal?

[NewYork214]

ME2 also was the first thing that i thought of.

[holyorangecows2]

No I don't think it's that. That wouldn't be big like GTA going exclusive seeing how we all know that is already gonna happen it's just a matter of when ME2 will go to the PS3.

[ThatCanadianGuy]

The article states it doesn't technically mean "Exclusivity deal" It's more of a big time announcement.

What's a bigger announcement than taking the highest rated semi-exclusive game from your competition?

[holyorangecows2]

Well it would be big if no one expected it but everyone expects ME2 to be announced for the PS3. Seeing how coy EA and Bioware are about answering whether it will come to the PS3. So I just don't think it's if it does turn out to be ME2 that would disappointing.

[Denethor_II]

Just play it on your PC:)

[arny]

me2 is not coming for ps3.. jsut play it on your pc.. even if it comes to ps3 the pc version will still be better besides they cant release me2 for ps3 because me follows some thing called a story line so they would release me2 for ps3 only if me came too

[Coded-Dude]

I'm curious as to what game it could be. maybe a big sports game....lol

[poontab]

File it under rumor for now but I heard companies like to make big announcements at E3. Was it not you who posted this garbage?

[Coded-Dude]

yes i posted this here......why? you don't want like discussing gaming news/rumors? why are you even here? If this announcement is as big as the GTA one, then you can rest assured that the title getting the timed exclusive is a major multiplat title, or a major exclusive title to the other side that is going multiplat with a ps3 release first.

[poontab]

"why? you don't want like discussing gaming news/rumors?"

Yes very much please, do you know of any "news/rumors" because it's not that I "don't want like discussing" but this isn't a rumor or news its a fact. Ever heard of E3? That's what every video game company in the industry does there. They make a big announcement about stuff that only they are doing, sometimes if you've been good all year they make more!

This article is on the same level as stating "Cake=Delicious" or "Pain Hurts!".

[Gradient]

Sounds fishy to me.

[Philaroni]

Well FFvs 13 could be it. Or better the new Castlevenia game. (Sorry about spelling.) Being they and Kojima have good ties.

[lightningsax]

So far, Versus XIII is exclusive to the PS3. Can't trust that stuff anymore, but so far that's the status, so the news really couldn't be that.

I don't think it's the next Castlevania game, because if it is then the rumor is blown way out of proportion. We know it was originally a different game, and Kojima is only being an administrator on the project. Not that big of a deal.

Honestly, it's probably something you wouldn't think of being synonymous with PS3. Maybe a big entry in the Rockstar franchise, such as GTA5, or possibly a new entry in a big FPS franchise- since Halo: Reach will probably dominate 360 shooter sales this holiday, it makes sense for other companies to look elsewhere. Plus, someone is probably interested in putting the accurate Move controller in a good FPS.

The most ridiculous deal I can think of? FF15, and announced at E3.

[BaSeBaLlKiD721]

Hopefully this game is Grand Theft Auto 5. I know that Sony has tons of amazing first party exclusives but with GTA being one of the biggest IP to exist today, it will surely be a HUGE gain for Sony to their already HUGE momentum.

EDIT: to below, sure it is entirely possible. Rockstar has complained multiple times about 360's storage limitations. They even hinted that they were going PS3 exclusive after GTA4. Right now, only time will tell.

[Gradient]

Take 2 like money, which is why GTA will never be a platform exclusive again.

[fr0sty]

it was never really platform exclusive to begin with. xbox got all ps2 gta's. but, they do like taking that money they love for timed exclusive agreements, like we saw with all 3 ps2 gta's.

[kwicksandz]

i cant see that being the case. Rockstar had alot of issues with ps3 development too, ram limitations and the final result was 640p ps3 - 720p 360.

a BIG exlcusive would be a COD game. Perhaps the latest treyarch COD?

[DaTruth]

The PS3 version was superior in every other way! 360 version had empty streets and crazy pop-in with low draw distances. MS also mandated 720p and Sony did not!

And there are no 1st party PS3 exclusives that run in sub HD.

[kwicksandz]

really DaTruth?

every comparison i read basically said the same thing which was

"the bottom line is that it's clear that Rockstar had some issues matching the basic performance of the Xbox 360 game on the PS3 hardware. Lower resolution, zero anti-aliasing support and a more variable frame-rate are the bottom line."

[A change in the wind]

Sony is in attack mode right now...and the 360 still doesn`t have an exclusive. Bummer.

[Shadow Man]

No No No!!! Plz!!! This is BAD news for us Bots :S

[Devil MAY KILL]

GEARS OF WAR 3 EXCLUSIVELY FOR PS3

POOR LAST GEN BOX.

[fr0sty]

definitely a possibility. especially with them talking about wanting to return to the "good graphics" spotlight and all.

[JasonPC360PS3Wii]

SOCOM 95, SingStar 145 or Ratchet and Milk 932

[awesomeperson]

Hey at least theres a variety of games on the PS3... We have many sequels from MANY games, all you Have is Halo 130303030430550

Anyway its Socom 4, get it right.

[fr0sty]

4 socom games... almost as many as halo!

[Comet]

Sony is playing it smart... letting the Bots get a taste for some of its exclusives, and then taking back the exclusivity while reinventing it into something totally better and different to lure potential buyers.

i.e.
Grand Theft Auto IV (PS3 will get GTA 5 exclusive)
Final Fantasy 13 (PS3 gets Versus 13 exclusive, and likely 14 for PS4)
Metal Gear Solid: Rising (Next MGS is likely to be PS4 exclusive)

Remember, with the next Xbox not having blu-ray, more developers will be siding towards the PS4...
Enjoy playing Halo on 3 discs now, bots. You will soon be using 6 discs for the next Xbox...

[Bathyj]

Maybe they're just going to announce Peter Moore has a new tattoo.

[Gamer7l]

....Peter Moore works for EA Sports....has for a couple years now. :o

[Bathyj]

And?

[Denethor_II]

You mean Peter Moore already has tattoos.

[Bathyj]

I just meant that everyones waiting for a big announcement, and Pete likes to make a big song and dance when he gets a tattoo.

[fr0sty]

Coincidence?

http://www.siliconera.com/2...

[bjornbear]

so far we have this, Gears or War 3, GTA5 =P

any of these rumored games are as least possible as the other =P

i think we have to wait and weep until E3 =(

[ALFAxD_CENTAURO]

''all we can speculate is possibly Final Fantasy 14 (It was announced as a PS3 exclusive last E3''

FF14 is not exclusive. Is announced also for PC. PS3 and PC only.

But Im wondering what game will be exclusive.

[fr0sty]

The source never specified if the game was outright exclusive or if it was just a timed exclusive, and Square has commented that they are looking at other platforms to release the game on other than PC and PS3.

[Bathyj]

Actually since my 3rd XB died this week (no, not 3 in one week) and I have no intention of buying another one, I hope its Splinter Cell.

I was quite happy for it to stay exclusive and buy it on XB as its will always be an XB game to me, but now I'm pissed and just want to play it without having to buy a console that will break just to do it.

I'm not holding my breathe though, I really doubt this is the announcement.

[Mamba24]

whats wrong with your warranty? they extended it to three years.

In no way am I saying that you are lying, so dont get that impression, but whenever i hear someone say something like 3 of their xbox's have broke and that they had to buy 2 more and now are on their 17th one after the first 16 broke. But a) why are people not utilizing their 3 year warranty and b) I have bought only 1 x360 and it works perfectly fine. I just find it really hard to believe that people have gone through 3 xbox's when everyone I know at the most has had 1 red ring on them which was replaced/refurbed by microsoft no questions asked. Either people are lying a lot to make 360 look bad or me and everyone else i know with a 360 are the luckiest people on earth...

and yes I own a ps3 as well so Im not some 360 fanboy

[Bathyj]

You know, I didnt even think of that. My original warranty would have run out but doesnt the M$ warranty reset everytime you get a new machine?

I replaced, not repaired my other two consoles with an instore warranty so the last time I did that it should have gone back to 3 years right?

Ahh crap, I think I got my 3rd machine, (the one I have now) about 9 months after launch, March 2006, so around New Years 07. Hmmm, looks like I missed out by about 3 months. Damn you had me excited too. I'm just going to try the RRoD repair kit on eBay.

Thanks for the idea but. If my machines hadnt broken so quickly, (the first was broken in the box) I would still be covered but oh well.

[TheOutsider]

NEW CALL OF DUTY GAME.....ONLY ON PS3!!

[boysenberry]

Gears Of War 3? :)

[Ilikegames76]

possibility, since Epic is not a first party developer.

[Gamer7l]

You would have to be the biggest moron on the planet to think that's a possibility.

[Narutone66]

Lost Planet, says hi. SE is a third party, look what happened to FF13. Epic is not a first party developer. There's always a possibility, to think otherwise makes you, as you said, the biggest moron in the planet.

[bjornbear]

http://www.n4g.com/dev/News...

why would he say that? unless he was developing for PC or PS3?

hmm...fishy? still, exclusive deal for the 3rd game in a franchise?

nah i doubt it, but not impossible, and definitely not moronic like that moron said it was

[Mamba24]

actually its really, really moronic...

why would he say that? because if you read the article ND and Epic are in some fan voted competition and that are paired in the same bracket against each other. Why on earth would that comment make you think "oh he must be secretly hinting that gears3 is coming to ps3 exclusively!!" just no.

Gears3 coming exclusively to the ps3 has a 0% chance of happening. I cant believe you even believe what you are saying. The 3rd game of a trilogy....coming exclusively to the ps3.....so Epic would not only be cutting off the end of the story for x360 but also throwing only the 3rd part of it on the ps3....Can you say this to yourself and actually think it makes sense...?....because it doesn't.make.any.sense.at.all.

This would be like Lucas releasing only Return of the Jedi on bluray. or, if Uncharted 3 was released only on the 360 ( granted the game could work for the 360 ). It just makes no logical sense story wise, continuity wise, money wise, or ANYTHING. If this happens I swear I will do the most embarassing thing that you can possibly come up with and post the video of it on here for everyone to see because there is 0% chance that this will happen. I'm sorry to be rude, I really am, I just can't believe you think theres a decent chance of this.

[jerander]

My money is on Gears 3. We already know the next iteration is being tested on the PS3, Mark Rein has already said they have no exclusivity contract with M$. The nail in the coffin is we know Epic likes to be on the cutting edge of technology and we all know there was not that much of a difference between Gears 1 and 2. Gears 3 on the PS3 will finally give them that next leap graphically that they need.

[jerander]

PS they have always made their money off the Engine not their games. Their games give them coffee money.

Which they can no longer do if they are not on the cutting edge of technology. Who wants an engine for an outdated system?

[Spiderman]

All of what you said there is complete BS.

Epic are testing the new Unreal Engine version on the PS3. There has been no mention of Gears 3 at all, let alone on PS3.

[Azianphil88]

good point

[xAlmostPro]

the fact theyve said "naughty dog your going down" which we know couldnt happen with the 360's hardware limitations..

[Noob]

Something comparable to San Andreas announced on PS2 would have to be unannounced/unrevealed game (e.g., GTA5, FF7 remake). ME2, ME1, Gears,etc, none of that is comparable to San Andreas announced on PS2. It'd just end up looking like some really late ports. Were talking about a game that did well over 10 million on PS2. This is a bold claim. I'm willing to bet it's FF7 remake or Kingdom Hearts with Move support.

[Perkel]

i don't think they would spend $$$ to buy some exclusives from third party devs when they have lots of own franchizes

[saimcheeda]

im loving it, although i hope its an action adventure game like god of war or prince of persia and not a shooter or a GTA style game!

[Redrum059]

i have a feeling that E3 is going to be big. the way i see it is that sony got alot of things out the way during GDC to make room for the best ps3 announcements. Just a thought:)

[Ps_alm3k]

why would sony pull the guns and bombs too early in the fight.
come e3, there will be nuke wars for sure from Nintendo, Sony and Ms...
Soooo excited!!!!!!!!!

[NotSoSilentBob]

GTA Collection.

All 3 PS2 GTA's on one blu-ray.

That would be a GTA:SA "Timed" exclusive like bombshell.

[radphil]

It'll either be a sequel to either inFamous, Killzone, or Resistance.

My bet is on one of those 3 at least.

[SuperStrokey1123]

I guess it possible, but none of those games would really even come close to the type of deal they are stating.

Very few games actually have the pull of a GTA: SA. They only ones i can think of are COD, Halo, GTA, Mario, Zelda, Gears, SSBM, Gran Turismo, Final Fantasy, Metal Gear, and God of war.

Obviously it wont be FF, GOW, Mario, Zelda, SSBM, Gran Turismo, COD or Halo.

That leaves Gears which is super super unlikely and GTA which is equally unlikely.

A third option is that Sony will announce teh guys that activision fired will come to work to head up a new first party studio. That would be huge as well.

For ME, the games taht would be huge are:
- Uncharted 3
- Gemfire 2
- Uncharted waters (not the mmo)
- infamous 2 like you said
- FF6 remake

I realise that these that other than UC3 this are not nearly big enough titles though so i think we can eliminate those lol.

[SuperStrokey1123]

http://www.n4g.com/NewsCom-...

obviously its a fact now that the staff from IW is going to sony

/s

[radphil]

Man as much as I would love to see a FF6 remake, I don't quite see that happening.

Also on a side note, from the article you linked it seems my friend was telling the truth before the news came out.

[Ryuk]

It's Ridge Racer, Riiiiiidge Racer!!!! Lmao!

[likedamaster]

Or a Giant Enemy Crab? Lmao

[BarakObomber]

Why would you want gears of war 3 or Mass Effect 2 but cant play the earlier variations. I loved what ps3 did with god of war series because i never played GOW but i got to before the launch of GOW3. I have never played gears of war and am intrigued by it but i dont want to just get thrown into number 3. is there something im missing like the story doesnt continue from each one. I think it is unannounced such as a new grand theft thing. Plus if a previous xbox exclusive made its way to ps3 we would never hear the end of it here on n4g.

[djreplay]

Wow, my money is on San andreas stories, nothing to major but big nonetheless.

[maverick40]

From software is third party developer so maybe sony bought exclusive rights to a second demons souls.

[DeforMAKulizer]

Sony Japan co-developed the game with From Software, and Sony own the IP... So its already exclusive..
But if they were to announce Demon Soul's 2 i think it would be in TGS with a release date of Feb '11 in Jap, or even worldwide...

[SnukaTheMan]

That will be a moral coup for the fanatics, But the playstation hard-cores that already have ps3's will be buying the game,...but people that do not own a ps3 yet are still waiting for the price to go to 200 bucks....after it hits 200 bucks then people will buy the ps3 regardless of its problems....

[fr0sty]

my possibilities (I wrote the article, btw)

Gears of war 1-3 coming to ps3 (maybe on one disc? wouldn't that be pwnage!)

FF7

Bungie making a ps3 game

splinter cell

mass effect

GTA5

[ivant]

If Criterion could use the full potential of the Ps3 with help from Sony, and then copy from games like BF:BC2, MAG, ME2, Gears 2, Halo 3, MW2, and their own Burnout:P,...they could make Black 2 a ground breaking exclusive open world shooter.

[Denethor_II]

This is the sort of news that gets me excited!

[ipe]

mass effect 1 and 2 on 1 disk?

[Mo0eY]

It's okay, bots. You can go play Metro 20/33... Oh wait... Halo: ODST? Hmmm, nope. Maybe Halo Wars? Those stats... Well, fvck.

[Wrathman]

sorry still playin ME2..i tried to do a god of war and finish it in 6 hours but it is impossible.

damn i hate gettin my moneys worth out of a game.its a shame my local game rental store dont do refunds on same day returns.

oh well..poor droids.its a sad affair when you can rent all a console has to offer from a game/blu-ray rental store and return your goods same day.

bahahahahahahahahahahahahaha

[ssipmraw]

its a sad affair when bots believe they own a ps3

[fr0sty]

Finish GOW3 in 6 hours eh... the game I've been playing for what, 3 days now? And I still haven't beat it? (yes, I play my games on hard... and this one's a pain in the ass on hard!).

And... before you go talking about short games *cough* halo 3, gears of war, ODST *cough*, I'd go check out the average length of a 360 game, then compare them to the average length of a PS3 game. The results will surprise you.

[Orange]

I got my 150 hours out of Demon's Souls (++games). Well worth it.

[Yangus]

Resident Evil 6.Uses playstatinon move and 3D.

[Shendow]

RE5 already does that, it is one of the games listed to work with Move, you can even download a video trailer of it. Its like UK video or Japan (Mostly likely won't come to the US).

[Shendow]

Is what it should be called, here is what you be something big at E3.

1.MGS5

2.FF7 Remake an using fully power of PS3.

3. FF7 C.C. (Didn't see that coming uh?)

4. Resistance 3

5. Killzone 3 (Or maybe Killzone 1 but you can play both sides in their own story)

6. Bungie working on a FPS game for PS3 only (Wouldn't be a shock and they make great games...when MS isn't asking for more right away)

7. Sony bought out Microsoft game studios (Random joke lol)

8. Kingdom Heart 3 (Looks 5x better then FFVS13)

9. Kingdom Heart 3 works with Move.

10.......Nintendo and Sony Join together to send the finally play to 360 and make something that could blow your mind if you could even understand what I was thinking (lol random joke B)

[bjornbear]

so MGS6...not so early considerin Kojima has been working hard on PW, and now on Rising...

some others you mention are first party, which...wouldn't need to have an exclusivity deal =P

other than that...yeah man its too much to guess from xD

[Shendow]

He said MGS:PW would be MGS5, but that doesn't mean they can't make PW look good for the PS3 or just something new.

[PirateThom]

Metal Gear Solid 5. Do it, Kojima.

It would hilariously invalidate last E3.

[cereal_killa]

I don't think that Sony would have to sign anything with Kojima to make MGS5 exclusive that would be a given. IMHO

[Coded-Dude]

MGS 5 is a psp game.

[ReBurn]

I predict it will be anti-climactic. These companies don't do a good job of keeping secrets, and we're all so cynical that what would have excited us 10 years ago is now considered trite. "Big announcement at E3" no longer really means anything.

[DelbertGrady]

I think it's GTA V.

*edit* I take that back. Considering the amount of money that went into making GTA IV ($300 million!) I don't think anyone can afford to keep that exclusive to just one platform.

It might be something really unexpected.

[Charmers]

I am not saying I disagree with you, the next GTA won't be a PS3 exclusive. However I do wonder where you got the $300 million to make GTA 4 from. Last time I heard the game only cost $100 million to make with a further $10 spent on making the PC version.

The main reason the next GTA won't be on the PS3 exclusive is down to the fact 6 - 7 million xbox users bought GTA 4. No company can afford to compensate Rockstar for cutting out 6 - 7 million customers.

[Convas]

But you know, the Fanboys'll keep hoping for it. Rockstar WILL NOT risk out on losing 7 Million Sales/$420 Million by going PS3 exclusive. They just won't do it.

[Charmers]

Well to be fair Rockstar would do it, the problem is Sony and MS would never pay the amount needed to get them to do it. I would say to secure timed exclusivity of the next GTA game would cost in the region of 200 million. Just look at what happened with MS, they paid 50 million for two DLC packs and only got 18 months exclusivity.

Now even the most ardent fanboy has to admit that 200 million to secure one game for 12 months to a console is a pretty moronic thing to do.

[DelbertGrady]

My bad. $100 million, not 300.

It might still be GTA V though. Most of the cost for GTA IV probably went into developing the engine and if they use a tweaked version for GTA V it will probably be much cheaper to make.

[Sez]

Sony paying for exclusive. Bu bu bu only MS writes checks for games.

[PirateThom]

Didn't say anywhere they paid for it.

[Convas]

A Timed Exclusive, if that's what it is, does require a cheque. And more than likely, a rather fat one at that.

[DelbertGrady]

Sony just gets them for free cause everyone loves them so much :)

[The Simple Truth]

I hate those crappy chavy games.

Although... it would be fun just to see the bots cry...

[Convas]

Bot won't cry if bot has PS3.

[Panzerkanzler]

I hope it's ME! Not likely, I know. I had ME1 back when I still endured my crapbox and it's the only game I miss from those days. The ME series is awesome.

[xbotpleasefixme]

more promises to be broken and more ps turds to be let down
I'm guessing that it's Shaq Fu 2

[RedDragan]

And coming from the 360 corner for E3 is...

F00k YOU 2!

[Percy]

I'm hoping its going to be a gears of war 3.

[xg-ei8ht]

OMFG i just found out.

It's halo reach.

ROFL.

Your faces, honestly.

[bjornbear]

didn't you know? PS3 can't run Reach =O it uses 40 lights and as 20 enemies on screen AT ONCE!

so yeah keep dreaming /s...or not xD

hope it's something good =3

[Brklynty1]

First off I wouldn't expect a FFVII remake to be on any other platform other than PS3 and PC. Because honestly, SE damn sure fans don't wanna hear sh!t about cut content! The FF fans are begging for this, should it happen on PS3 alone that may just hit 3 million day 1 sales. Plus I'm pretty sure SE sees that FF fans aint to keen to the 360.(Roll the Clip XD jk)

Honestly, my guess is GTA V. Now you guys are saying Sony won't pay for GTA. Since the original Xbox debuted, they never had to, R* always had a exclusive contract for them, the same was with GTAIV but Sony was pushing for a permanent exclusive deal and I guess R* wanted microsoft cash to make that happen. Killzone 3 is pretty much confirmed(even without jacks statement), Resistance 3 is in the same case, inFamous 2 is pretty much expected. ME2 coming to PS3, to much rumors to be a big announcement, IMHO, though the author said he's not saying its a exclusive deal but its that big, its either Gears of War coming to the PS3 or a GTA exclusive. Some of us won't agree on that. But we can all agree on this, June 15 can't come any sooner can it?

[zacx]

Zone of the enders 3 ^^

[bjornbear]

but..could be something else

GTA5? =O that'd be stupid...

STUPID AWESOME!

[Coded-Dude]

Agent is already PS3 exclusive........

[man0fsteel]

The title says "exclusivity deal" ... which would relate to 3rd party games only. You don't need to strike a deal for exclusivity when you basically own the IP

[SephireX]

Firstly, this is only a rumour. However, if true and this announcement is on the scale of San Andreas, we're looking at a title that's going to have huge sales. I don't think it will be GTA 5 or MGS:Rising. You need to think about a series that has been selling a lot lately. Oh that's right, Call of Duty. Treyarch's or IW's next CoD may well be the title in question. That's a possibility but I don't think it will be CoD. My guess is something bold that no one else will think of. Elder Scrolls V.

[Treyb3yond]

This is not what MS need to hear, they are already struggling.

[galgor]

Timesplitters makes its long awaited return exclusively to PS3... please!

[PirateThom]

E3 can't come soon enough. Am I the only person who wishes companies would just reveal games anytime and keep trade shows to show them off?

The internet exists, it's not like we need to fly journalists to these shows to do write ups for magazines anymore.

[chisox100]

hmmm could be the ME games for PS3 or maybe Gears 1 and 2 and a multiplat gears 3.

More likely it's GTA 5 since Rockstar is really starting to become fond of the PS3. (Agent and the GTA4 DLC)

GTA5 for PS3 would be a major killer

[fr0sty]

have they had one all year?

[baramer]

and i think is starcratf 2 and diablo 3 going to ps3 with move

[Primetimebt]

I highly doubt it's a rumor since mircosoft is going to focus on Natal at E3. Image if Sony drop Grand Theft Auto 5, or even if but I highly doubt it Call of Duty Modern Warfare 3 time exclusive on people than Natal would be buried in E3 news..

[Biggest]

I'm pretty sure that Natal is going to bury itself.

[Official General]

Go on Sony, get that in bag and you hit it big time!

[axerated]

whatever it is, it's a welcome addition to the ever growing list of ps3 exclusives for the next year or so

[CLOUD1983]

We search for a PS3 exclusive with over 10m sales, if we remove GT5 I thing I read it's not this we expect it already anyway, and if it's not GTA V this game will go multiplatform probably then my only though is FFVII remake that's the only PS exclusive with over 10m sales and the only game who can make the ppl all over the world go crazy :D

[SuperStrokey1123]

While i doubt its these, maybe its a new EPIC game or prehaps a game from bungie? I know both are rather unlikely but it would be interesting.

I also kinda doubt this is true... E3 always gets built up so big for sony. It would be hard for any company to reach the levels that are expected for them.

[Cajun Chicken]

I have to admit, there are little third party games that I care about becoming exclusive on the PS3, outside of GTA, because the PS3 ALREADY has my favourites as first party games...so, GO GTA PS3!!!

[Ronster316]

Only on thirdstation.

[NYC_Gamer]

when is the last time 360 had something exclusive?

[karan8624]

1. Xbox has no good exclusives anymore
2. Spyro kicks ass. <---- Thats a period, dont argue. Cus he does

[xCaptainAmazing]

Mass Effect 1 & 2 on one disc, with 3 releasing on parity with the 360, but then I remember that it says EXCLUSIVE. that would never happen with that franchise, so I have no idea really. It would be sweet if it was just a sequel, but I'm hoping they sealed the deal on some new IP or have secured an already existing one. That would make for the biggest story.

[The_Devil_Hunter]

Devil May Cry 5 or Metal Gear 5 or GTAV. it better be one of those.

[gollumlotrs]

((on a joking note)), China upset over google gives sony the ownership to the debt america owes to china in a year exclusivity deal, and then sony bemands full payment from america and if unpaid then owns america for a full year exclusively, lol and then demands a new law be passed for a year to prevent MS from selling any software, and china demands they shut down google in the deal, lol that would be so funny if it was possible, but just being silly,
do we even know if the exclusive thing happening is even a game/s it might be some apps or programs or hardware,
if its a game then I think something massive that MS wants or needs or already has.

[markis655]

Resident Evil 6?

[TheHardware]

of all the great names you guys dropped I still really want a new Road Rash game....that would be megaton to me..

[KILLERAPP]

I don’t know maybe is bungie making a PS3 exclusive game…

[s45gr32]

The Mass Effect franchise coming to PS3 would be megaton or Splinter Cell Convinction coming to PS3 that would be huge news.

[Claudinho69]

after i finish ff7 remake im ready to die

[Jihaad_cpt]

My original 60Gig PlayStation 3 just died (was watching series on it), when to get some water from the fridge, came back and the console shut down power light flashing red. This sucks as I just got Heavy Rain and I was playing Final Fantasy XIII (luckily disc was not in the console). Any advise? I am sad

[The_Devil_Hunter]

Sorry to hear that man, that happened to me too a year ago so from experience either use a heat gun or just send to sony for $150. Your choice.

[Len92]

exclusivity deal...i think they are going to pay EPIC for geow3 since the new unreal engine was also made for the PS3. now that would definitly bring up alot of fanboy fights.

[Bigboss19]

I think it could be Metal Gear Solid 5 or Resident Evil 6

[fr0sty]

Well folks, it gets better. Our source tells us it isn't just one game now, but multiple announcements.

[Skyreno]

TIME SPLITTER anoounced will be ..... EPIC!!!!

[NYC_Gamer]

Sony will own E3 just like before....

[Coded-Dude]

this is getting good

[Coded-Dude]

sorry double post

[Coded-Dude]

apparently this is bigger than we thought. we may be dealing with several games(not just one)

[Sigh]

the update says more than one game exclusive? This is huge.

[KILLERAPP]

Mora than one game? this is going to be big then, can't wait for E3 2010...

[Skyreno]

okay maybe 2 or 3 will be announced im guessing TimeSplitter and Onimusha,FF7Remake ......her shemnue 3 i can only wish

[Mikey Mike]

nuff said. The biggest disappointment for SONY was letting MS get GTA 4. Any other new exclusive would be lame.

[Coded-Dude]

gta 4 isn't even the best gta, so its not that big of a disappointment. MS pulled a lot of exclusives multiplat early, now the table look like they are starting to turn. this is big news.

[fr0sty]

This is gonna be huge. More than one game... I'd imagine Mass Effect being that they've hinted at it for so long. Maybe Gears 3 due to recent comments from EPIC, and POSSIBLY timed exclusivity for GTA5.

[Dude Dutch]

Like is said before, the PS3 is a diesel. Its starting slowly, but when is on the move, there is no stopping it. The Xboks probably is looking in its rear mirror and is trying to gear up. But it is in top gear............

BOOM there you have it, lights out, game over, end of story.

The future is black, PLAYSTATION black !

[Bigboss19]

More then one game? if thats the case i hope for... Im guessing its third party games....
Metal Gear Solid 5 PS3 exclusive
Resident Evil Reboot
Tenchu 5 PS3
Manhunt 3
Gears Of War 3 would be EPIC on PS3
Splinter Cell 5
Assassin Creed 3 PS3 time exclusive would be pretty huge as well

[MultiConsoleGamer]

The next R* games is the big exclusive.

[Acetaminophen]

But the PS3 has no games! LOL

[fr0sty]

And folks... we kinda felt bad last time we leaked specifics about sony's announcements (especially when I heard jack say at sony's e3 conference "see, we did manage to keep a few secrets" when he annouced ff14 exclusivity and move), so even if we DID know the exact game(s) in question, we wouldn't tell you. some surprises just shouldn't be spoiled. i think you guys would agree. we may drop a vague hint or two, but i don't think i'll ever outright spoil a surprise unless it was a very obvious one (like we did with ps3 slim, many expected the announcement to come soon) again.

That said, in this case, we actually do not know the games in question. Your guess is as good as ours.

[Myth-Psn]

Just go and watch the E3 sony conference of last year... Where we found out that the PS3 "will be the only console that you can play it on when it launches", Indicating at least timed exclusiveness. I can guess thats its either GTA V (timed), The True MGS5 exclusive or the rising timed.My wild guess is assasins creed 3 timed exclusive :)

[jalen247]

This has to be a big high profile third party game....

GTA 5?
Assassin's Creed 3?
Batman AA 2?
FF VII (PS3)?
Resident Evil 6?
Modern Warfare 3?...yeah right...LOL
Gears of War 3?...Megaton if this goes down as timed exclusive and guarantees that Sony open up their check book something serious. LOL.

Take your pick...

[Hazmat13]

a deal with valve???? i want Half-Life3 on my ps3!!!!!!!!! or left 4 dead!!! or porn.....

[N4BmpS]

E3 this year is going to Blow up in everyone's faces It i guaranteed with Nintendo and now Sony? E3 2010 nuff said.

[Def Warrant]

GTA5 ps3 exclusive confirmed lol /jk

[rob6021]

GTA V absolutely needs Blu-Ray, that's the game.

[Knightofelemia]

It could be anything from the rumors of Left 4 Dead appearing on the PS3 to the rumors of Gears of War showing up on the PS3 and a Final Fantasy 7 remake would be great. I am hoping Sony announces Legend of Dragoon remake or sequal or prequal or Konami bringing out a remake of Zone of the Enders that would be awsome.

[ATi_Elite]

E3... yawn Zzzzzzzzz sleepy time

Too much hype and not enough substance at E3.....

They announce like 2 big games then 3 or 4 or 5 years later we get to play them.

Announce a Big game and have it ready for Christmas that's what i want.

Halo 4 for Ps3

[multips3fan]

this is just the beginning ,i feel bad for the xbox fans lol .majority just play halo and mw2 all day which are the main games to play on the 360... imagine guys lol GTa5? gears of war 3 decide to join sony and pushes ps3 to a new level?or could it be halo 4 Lol.4 days later Microsoft out of business LMAO

[deadoralive1337]

could possibly be batman arkham asylum 2 exclusive for ps3

[stuntman_mike]

personally i just want to see some gameplay of Agent.

[KeenanTheSavage]

Big announcements for E3? I've never heard of such a thing!

[DarkSpawnClone]

Sony you make me broke.how dare you!! do this to me!! Make me spend all my money on video games!,Pfft.so many games!!!! UGH!! Lower The Prices Please ;[

[jdepp]

OK, FF15 , MGS5, GTA5, KINGDOM HEART 3

GET TWO GAME EXCLUSIVE WILL END THE WAR,

IN THE END, THERE WILL BE ONLY PS^^.

[bviperz]

not enough details. I believe it when I see it.

[Scions Wrath]

There will be more than one shocker at e3 from sony's booth.
