Sony hiding 20 secret projects for PS3?

Posted Jan 14, 2008 at 10:04PM by QJ Staff Listed in: PS3 Tags: Japan, Kazuo Hirai, patent, Sony, Team Ico

An insider at Sony Computer Entertainment let the word out that the game division had at least 20 secret projects allegedly for the Sony PlayStation 3, two of which come from Team ICO. Other studios such as Project Siren (Forbidden Siren) and Team Saru (Ape Escape) were also mentioned taking part in the development of the said games.

Now that's interesting, because in mid-fall last year, Sony's top man, Kazuo Hirai, mentioned that Team ICO were actually working on a "sequel". Obviously the question "The sequel to what?" was raised, but few particulars were milked from Team ICO and Hirai. In fact, there's nothing rock solid yet.

Yet another sighting has raised eyebrows in the East: a recent patent for "The Last Guy" was spotted in Japan according to Gamefront.de (external link). The patent is seemingly for Sony Computer Entertainment Japan. Speculating third-parties believe that the phrase could be a subtitle of a Sony game in the works.

There was no clarification if any of the 20 titles were for the PlayStation Portable, but we may hear more that may change that in the near future.

i truly wonder what these secret games are. Is one of them the FF7 remake. Not sure but i just hope when they do come out it will the biggest bang to help Sony's PS3.

But im a consumer but i do want Sony to do well.

Mgs1 will be a kaboom to help the ps3 +]

# Yeah.. — Stealth! 2008-01-14 20:42

Maybe its FF7 that can be downloaded and played on the PSP and PS3. I hope so the classics are really lacking atm.

I would love to see what the ICO team could do with the power of the PS3! SoTC was amazing and its predecessor was just as impressive.

Hope there are some huge, killer titles in that list.

# ohh I totally forgot about Ico — Nascence 2008-01-15 09:15

I hope that team has got something in the works for PS3 because they make QUALITY games!

# They need no help!!!! — terrainw123 2008-01-15 15:03

with everything sony has coming out 2008 like home, in game xmb, a ton of games and updates they need no help i just cant wait for final fantasy versus XIII cause they changed the gamplay to kingdom hearts style and it might be the first rated M final fantasy. so its gonna be like devil may cry fused with kingdom hearts

Sony has 2008 on lock not even ninja gaiden 2 on xbox and smash bros can stop them....
