Has anyone noticed that many of the most anticipated unannounced
projects seem to be PlayStation 3 exclusives? Not all of them,
certainly, but the buzz tends to center on PS3 games that haven't been
officially confirmed just yet, and there is the distinct possibility
that we could see some huge announcements at E3.
Perhaps first on the list is whatever Team ICO's game turns out to
be. We're fairly certain it's exclusive to Sony's machine and we've
recently heard that it might be closer to ICO than to Shadow of the Colossus.
Now, due to the huge loyal following that can be attached to either
title, it's no surprise that many, many gamers have been waiting on
this announcement for quite some time. It's bound to enjoy an unveiling
at some point this year, and we figure E3 is the perfect venue. Next up
is the possibility of Kingdom Hearts III, although it's more
optimism and hope as there's virtually no concrete evidence to support
the theory. But Square-Enix seems to have come around to the idea of
supporting the PS3 - at least, we hope they have - and we're long
overdue for another KH installment. It's way too lucrative a franchise
for the publisher to abandon it, and the fans really want another game.
And although David Jaffe says he doesn't have full control over when
his new project from Eat Sleep Play can be announced, we're assuming
Sony PR is preparing something for E3. Most have concluded that the
game is Twisted Metal for the PS3, but despite supposed
"confirmations" from places like IGN, Jaffe claims there has been no
official announcement for that project. Well, how much longer do we
have to wait? Lastly, we believe there may be a few more first-party
titles we haven't heard of just yet, and Sony may use E3 to unveil at
least one of them. The bottom line is that we're well aware of many of
the blockbuster franchises, but when it comes to exclusive IPs,
information and details tend to go wanting until the last minute. But
we say, prepare for some fireworks in a few months time...
What? Did you say, Final Fantasy VII remake...? ...if you did, shut up. We can't hear you. 'plugs fingers in ears'
