Sony has up its sleeves a top-secret game headed to PS3 in 2009 that will apparently showcase a new standard in "story-telling and immersion" on games consoles.
The BBC reports having been shown supposedly "in-game" footage of the super-confidential title, but has been sworn to secrecy.
"I was shown a trailer for a game not due out till 2009 but was sworn to absolute secrecy," says the BBC reporter.
"Apparently, Sony just wanted to give a glimpse of what the console will be capable of."
He goes on to add: "In fact, the game is such a secret that when I mentioned the game to Phil Harrison last week he was unsure at first whether even to admit the title existed. When I explained I had been shown it under strict Non Disclosure Agreement terms he looked relieved."
Being careful not to reveal any specific details, he goes on to say: "I don't mean to be a tease - all I can say is that I was left speechless.
"If the footage I was shown truly is 'in game', as told to me by the Sony PR people, then we could be on the brink of a step change in what games consoles are capable of in terms of story-telling and immersion," reads the excited report.
Hopefully it won't turn out to be another CGI 'target tech' trailer like the early Killzone 2 footage. And hopefully it's God of War III.
