Well they teased something on Invisible Walls 42 and Daniel Bloodworth has just teased a little more on the GT forums:
Keep an eye on the site this afternoon for some new info on a big PS3 exclusive. I'm also discussing it on this Friday's Invisible Walls.
You can venture a guess as to what it is, but I won't be confirming.
EDIT: Tomorrow is now today.
EDIT: This post will be updated as the hour approaches/arrives.
EDIT: Please don't turn this into some megaton announcement/letdown. It's worth looking forward to, but probably won't blow your head off.
For me, the final point rules out God Of War III/Uncharted 2/Ico anything like that. I'm going to call first trailer for a new Twisted Metal game.
Thoughts?
PlayStation 3
Platform »
The PlayStation 3 (often abbreviated PS3) is the third home video game console created and released by Sony Computer Entertainment Inc.
New PS3 Exclusive Details TODAY - GameTrailers.com
"I doubt it. That kinda announcement could warrant like an ENTIRE press conference.Team ICO! Title, a screenshot, anything! PLEEEAAASE!!!
"
My guesses after some thought are: new Ratchet & Clank trailer/gameplay, new God Of War III trailer/gameplay, Twisted Metal trailer unveiling/gameplay, Uncharted 2 gameplay.
"Maybe something about MAG (Massive Action Game)"Yeah that's been rumoured around the forums. Could well be. I personally have no interest in that game at all so I hope not. ;)
"Maybe something about MAG (Massive Action Game)"Mans got a point - been silent on MAG for a while
I hope it's MAG, the teaser/trailer looked awesome. They will just probably announce details about pricing and micro payment (good god I hope I'm wrong)
Still no sign of an update. No doubt this will come too late for the UK, have to be up at 7 tomorrow so it'll be a case of bed and uni without knowing until I get home. *sigh*.
Yeah I can't wait until 11PM GMT.
I already sense people are getting way too excited for this. I'm interested but I don't think I can wait up that long for just a blog post about it.
EDIT: And by "I can't wait" I actually meant "I can't wait up until 11PM" if that got misconstrued.
Secret PS3 game!
"EDIT: Please don't turn this into some megaton announcement/letdown. It's worth looking forward to, but probably won't blow your head off. "
This just makes this news-hyping even more stupid than usual.
"Secret PS3 game!People are hyping in this thread? All I read were reasonable expectations (aside from a jokey post about Ico) for what we're looking forward to being shown off.

"Big rumour is that it's Ratchet & Clank 2. Colour me excited."
Ratchet and Clank games suck :\ I hope it is something good.
Crytek said they're working on a PS3 game and so are Rockstar.

Crytek has a shit track record to say the least. Ratchet and Clank is one of the best series on Sony consoles. At the very least it's alright, and better than Far Cry and Crysis.
UNCHARTED 2: Among Thieves

I was expecting them to announce a new arcade machine in Home. Maybe Defender or Joust. MAXIMIZE THE CELL!

not completely true.
It's still a pretty fun game. not awesome, but solid.
a major part of the game however, the shooting, feels awkward.

Man, you guys are un-selling me on Uncharted. I was thinking of picking it up in preparation for Uncharted 2 even though I really didn't like the demo.
Most people were saying how it gets pretty good at awhile so I considered giving it a second chance since you can get it for a smile nowadays.
Let's clarify a couple of things in this thread (no doubt I'll get -1ed for having an opinion again) but first and foremost Ratchet & Clank is not "bad" by any stretch of the imagination. I can see how people might think it repetitive but for me, Insomniac are the masters of making repetitive gameplay constantly interesting. I've played through Tools Of Destruction like 4 times now and still want to play through it again. There's just something about it that I can't put my finger on. Even I've sat around playing Ratchet & Clank thinking "this is so repetitive but I want more". Whether it's the satisfying weapons or the "bolt" collecting I'm not sure but that game (in my opinion) is hella fun. Not groundbreaking, not genre-defining but you know - I smile when I play it. It entertains me. Couldn't care less if it's an "art form" or not... It's the kind of game I want to play from time to time. Just well polished jumping, shooting and a light plot.
As for Uncharted I wouldn't recommend a £40 price tag on it (it's very short) but it's also a ride. The graphics are great, the story is relatively interesting with some truly memorable characters, voice acting and writing and the core gameplay mechanics are fun. Again the repetitive arguement comes up but it always switches the game up (jet-ski bits, puzzles, adventuring) just shy of the game becoming annoying. There are some AI issues and some gameplay elements that will frustrate but the good heavily outweigh the bad. Uncharted has become one of the "go-to" franchises of the PS3 for a reason. Because it's very solid with few quirks. Considering the price you can pick the game up for these days (like £10 second hand) there is really no reason not to play.
Enjoyed the interviews and news that came out of GameTrailers (and other sites) too. Quite interested in whether the inclusion of Chloe will result in a co-op mode. Seems that co-op is the buzz word these days.

"Man, you guys are un-selling me on Uncharted. I was thinking of picking it up in preparation for Uncharted 2 even though I really didn't like the demo.You are doing yourself a disservice in not buying Uncharted. It's still my favorite game this gen, and I've played most of the big games and a lot of the not so big games this gen. You should definitely give it a try. The game is much better than the demo.
Most people were saying how it gets pretty good at awhile so I considered giving it a second chance since you can get it for a smile nowadays."
...and Gears ripped off Killswitch. It's just gonna keep going if you play that who ripped off who game.
"Are you insinuating that uncharted innovates or adds something to the mechanics it ripped off?"I think what Uncharted lacks in original gameplay it tightens up with good storytelling and polish. Much like Dead Space, Uncharted does very little "fresh" but does most things well. And while the story resorts to Hollywood cliche on many occassions the character interaction, voice acting and story development is relatively impressive to say the least.
I can't see how anyone could say Uncharted is a bad game. It might not be the best game of all time but it's solid in almost all areas.
People need to get this shit out of their head that 'if a game isn't doing something new, it sucks'. This just in, pretty much no game anymore does a single thing new. Especially shooters and action games. There is nothing new left to do that you haven't seen yet, its all been done. Its just the quality that it ends up finished and all the touches that make it worth playing or not.
Games aren't innovating shit anymore, but that doesn't make them bad. On top of that, games that have tried newer things to be different, don't always turn out well either. Yes, Uncharted was mostly just a cover shooter like Gears with part tomb raider in it, and you can use <insert game here> is just an <insert game here> ripoff as well to nearly any game ever created. Also, Gears did not invent the cover system, like so many people seem to think.
