I think this is an announcement about a game with which we are already familiar. And it's a game coming this year. Otherwise they could save such material for Gamescom or TGS.
But this announcement being made now means the game will either be out or on short final by the time those two trader shows hit. My two bits are on Sony having something exclusive to announce relating to a known multiplat title.
The other possibilities would a Vita title, likely BF3 or MW3, or radical new features for PSN.
GTA5 would seem like a good bet as to what it could be. It is exactly the kind of game release that would be announced in a big way like this, with built up anticipation.
I have been expecting it's anouncement soon ('A little bird' told me it would be going gold at the end of this year or Q1 next year... Also confirming it's San Andreas location - I guess I can say that on here because nobody will trust me as a source anyway :P), but it would surprise me a bit for it to come from Sony. But that is a good thing, it means they might use all that tasty Blu-ray space for loads of content - unlike GTA4 (which was still a brilliant game). However, it really has to be out on 360 and Wii U too - Take2 want their profits. So only time will tell...
edit: OK nvm, apparently this rumour is of nothing... "(Update) It has now come to light, however, that the reported Sony surprise is nothing but a repeat of an older show. The July 15th episode is actually a repeat of a May 13th show that revealed Starhawk. (Update)"
I would agree, but Nariko entrusted Kai with the sword. So, Kai wouldn't only play "twing-twang"; I'm fairly certain she'd have learned how to use the sword at least a little. I found Kai's character to be quite amusing and unique, but that's just me.
I don't know about Cambridge... I am thinking either Adrift (action RPG from Dontnod) or Quantic Dream's new IP.
i say one of these 2 because Dontnod was at E3, David Cage wanted his new IP shown at E3 and lastly the next gaming covnention is in Europe. So an EU dev about a month before Gamescom would be like Starcraft's reveal.
So I think Sony Cambridge's title will be kept for GC, but I do think it will be an EU title even if I am wrong and maybe you are right.
As for COD Vita? That could be cool: I could live with BF3 Vita as well :)
highly unlikely about the revamp of XMB, cause PS3 is designed around XMB functionality at its current state and not any other form or renovation of it. at least, I wouldn't bet on it...
That would be heaven if done properly. (faster, richer, more customizable and streamlined, plus new features like background downloads, trophy auto sync, more folder options and so on)
I also wish for a new browser and MKV support. I got loads of anime in MKV: Deathnote, Code Geass, Rainbow etc... So Imo that would be great. It makes sense that they will change and add something before Vita launches so I have my fingers crossed. :D
I dont even buy COD games (play em at ppls houses) BUT not gunna lie I would buy a COD Vita game. But if there was a Battlefield Vita on the other hand...
OMFKN GOD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! A fellow PRIMAL fan... I almost cry when I saw your comment bro. What an underrated and underapreciated game Primal was. Still with the best graphics on PS2 and NOBODY even mention it. Even Ghost Hunter another Cambridge game didnt get mention when it expands in the Primal engine they created.
You cant consider yourself a gamer if you havent played PRIMAL... a really cult classic.
I even was playin it today again in my old PS2... wow!!!
Bring PRIMAL back SONY!!!!!!!!! At least an HD remake like the UbiSoft remake of Beyond good and Evil... Nice one Super Beast!!
There were three PS2 games that I always considered underrated gems...
1) The Mark of Kri 2) Legacy of Kain: Defiance 3) ...and Primal
These were games that had their hardcore fans, but the games weren't blockbusters. If you played these games you'll know what I'm talking about.
I list them in that order because the controls, fighting and combat was superb in Mark of Kri (and the story wasn't half-bad either). My trusty bird pet was awesome! And combat was fun as hell! Plus, you could sneak around if you wanted to play more stealthy. It was a near perfect game, IMO.
The Combat and game-play in Legacy of Kain was good, although not as good as Mark of Kri. But the best part was sneaking around unlocking all the secret passages in order to find out more about the characters. Kain and Raziel's combat skills were different and fun to play! This games atmosphere was truly diabolical. Vampires, old mansions, epic cathedrals, and the netherworld!
For Primal, it had the worst combat system of the three, but the story was well done and world(s) was immense! I did look forward to getting new powers (four in total), and you needed to learn how to best use them given the circumstances. But the mechanics were kind of frustrating on some monsters. I did manage to get good at the fire claw skill (can't remember the name), though. But the key was the characters! I just loved the main characters Scree and Jen! Him being the serious historian gargoyle and her the rocker-chic with a whimsical humor. The two of them going on quests to save the world was hilarious! Like oil and water! :D
So, all three of these games were awesome! And whether it was Rau, Jen, Scree, Kain or Raziel. The story made me care about each of the characters! And that's what matters in any form of story telling.
Post Apocaliptic... I agree to a 66% with you. The only thing I would change and thats just my prefference is Defiance. I would change it for Ghost Hunter. GH was an amazing and innovative game. Creepy, Humorous and a long experience with challenging gameplay and a long story.
As I said thats just me but... Defiance is one hell of a game. I still have it along side Soul Reaver 2. I dont know why they let the franchise died... It was very cool. Defiance also has amazing graphics for its time. Ohh and Mark of Kri is one of my faves. . . I also have Rise of the Kasai. A very good sequel IMO. Ohhh those PS2 days were amazing!!!
im thinking maybe something with the psn, agent would be awesome too but thats not really a surprise, or ps4 stuff but i kind of think it would be stupid not to wait for a big show
agent maybe? if its as great as we hope, it would give the ps3 even more momentum going into next year. would love to see that. this year has been awesome and getting better as we go. anyways just wishful thinking
To be honest I doubt it's anything big. Everyone these days hypes up their own announcements with announcements even when it's nothing major and if Sony haven't even announced that they're making an announcement about something new I doubt it's going to be much. One can hope, but I just won't expect it myself.
very well said , one can hope indeed but i dont think is something big , i hope im wrong though
edit: i will be extremely surprised if it end up being an unannounced ps3 exclusive game , i think its more possible sony announced some third party games coming to playstation vita or even playstation vita released date and full launch details
precisely. they frequently name "huge announcements" mediocre products or events that don't really matter. i guess, the news industry around gaming has lost its prestige. i remember huge announcement like the ones of GTA IV/FFXIII going multi-platform. or even console announcements for that matter. so, yeah, my expectations are low...
i hope you know that it was a gametrailers user that found out about this surprise , its not GTTV hyping anything , at least not yet and its only a surprise not a " huge announcement" like you made it sound to be , relax its just a surprise
I'd pass out. But we all know RockStar likes to show their games at weird times. This would be a weird time, so it's perfect!
But I think that'd be a "RockStar Surprise" not a "Sony Surprise". I'm putting my bets on a PSN revamp because thats been hinted at recently and it's really needed to extend the life of the console.
The last surprise was Starhawk which was revealed way before the show aired so my guess is this surprise will be alot smaller. Maybe footage of a game we already know is being released. But wasn't at E3 which is another point why it isn't probly a big title.
But sometimes you can't actually read the text on PSN store when the background image is the same colour as the font... silly Sony Europe's fault for not paying attention to their own responsibility.
XBL responds really slowly, so it takes ages to navigate.
If it's indeed a surprise, then it should something really good with lots of money invested on it. i wouldn't bet on games that have a small fan base compared to Uncharted or GTA franchise. Or it could perfectly be some sort of software or hardware material related to the PS3--i wouldn't be satisfied though if it was something like that.
On the other hand, if it is a marketing trick to call it a "surprise" just to gather a lot of attention, then in my eyes GameTrailers.com would lose some more of its (lost) integrity among with other things they have done to weaken it.
It isn't going to be PS3 exclusive (They would be throwing away half their sales, Take2 just don't do that). But I wouldn't be surprised if it is marketed in relation to the PS3, as IV was with the 360.
I hate to disappoint people but this is merely a rerun of the Starhawk episode that is labeled "Sony Surprise." Check your TV schedules if you don't believe me. Seems some news outlets got a little trigger happy.
Im probrobably way off but im gonna go with a ff7 remake :P. FF7 lbp2 pack was randomly annouced a few days ago to release on the 15th when it was supposed to release about 3 years ago. Maybe they were saving it 4 this announcement :P
I know that Sony made a big reveal on GameTrailers TV recently with StarHawk, and I'm excited for this upcoming surprise...my first guess is Syphon Filter 4, or a big title for the PS Vita.
Still, I am a bit frustrated that Sony is holding this type of announcement on GTTV, instead of one of the big three gaming conventions. E3 had so much already announced stuff that it was a bit underwhelming despite the amazing showing. I already know that there is more to look forward to in GamesCom and TGS, so just keep it rolling Sony!
Ps4 I dont think Maybe something new from MM They said there gonna steer away from lbp for now They have expanded there studio They could have been working on the next game this whole time
Or maybe just some vita stuff
But if the do come out and say ps4 I would be stunned To early for sony Next year people next year Probably a big showdown at e3
What if it's not even a game? I mean I hope it's a surprise like
"Hey! guess what people. We at SONY have long been craving to give back to our beloved fans who may have felt a bit betrayed. We certainly apologize if that is the case and in honor of that apology, here's the Legend of Dragoon PS3 remake/Sequel/Prequel...." ;
I know it! I know it! They are gonna reveal that the PS3 will be able to pull of Toy Story like graphics. Wait wasn't that the PS2? Hell I'd take that on the PS3 but we'll probably have to wati till the PS4 for Sony to make good on that promise.
Its either a new game or a feature like an improved version of cross game chat. Maybe they could surpass XBOXlive in terms of Social features with an upgraded PSN. I really dont see why they cant to it.
"It has now come to light, however, that the reported Sony surprise is nothing but a repeat of an older show. The July 15th episode is actually a repeat of a May 13th show that revealed Starhawk".
This episode is a re-run, of which the title is 'Sony Surprise.' Which means that there is no new surprise, the game being 'revealed' is Starhawk. http://www.thesixthaxis.com...
If all those rumours of the PS4 going into production this year to head off the Wii U next year are true, then we should hear some kind of official announcement soon...
First gameplay footage from Call of Duty PS Vita maybe?
Or hopefully we'll get an announcement about Sony Cambridge's new PS3 title (Medievil 3?)........
To be honest I doubt it's anything big. Everyone these days hypes up their own announcements with announcements even when it's nothing major and if Sony haven't even announced that they're making an announcement about something new I doubt it's going to be much.

psn plus was a joke!
