Sony holding back on secret PS3 title

Sony is still yet to reveal a top-secret game supposedly shown to the BBC earlier this year.

You may remember a BBC reporter claiming to have been shown a secret PS3 title that he said "could be on the brink of a step change in what games consoles are capable of in terms of story-telling and immersion".

But this game, according to that same reporter, was not shown at last week's E3 expo. "MAG appeared - the massively multiplayer online FPS game," he says, but adds: "this was not the game I was referring to. It still hasn't been shown publicly."

Speculation originally linked the secret game to Eight Days - a now-cancelled title from Sony's London studio - but that wasn't it either.

"Some of you might be thinking the game is pure vapourware. But I promise you it's real," says the BBC reporter.

We'll be keeping an eye out at Leipzig next month then.

General feelings that this confused reporter saw Heavy Rain still seem likely.
The game wasnt shown at E3.

The idea of showing a single, unspecialized reporter a secret, unknown game not due out for 2 years with a strict NDA is completely pointless to me. Why go to the trouble.

Sounds like they are just making $#@! up now. With everyone dropping their pants at E3 you would think Sony would follow with at the very least a mention of such a title.

I bet this is Sony's answer to the new Halo game coming out. Something tells me they JUST decided this super-secret game.

We'll see, won't we?

The reporter could have been good friends with someone at Sony; Phil Harrison for instance. Its not out of the realm of possibility that the two were old college buddies and Phil decided to "hook him up".

Granted this is a stretch, but "he knows so-in-so" is the only explanation I can come up with.
