Eh, I feel it's pretty late in the game to launch a new IP on the home consoles unless they have the backing of a huge publisher (which would be interesting considering they couldn't get a publisher before - If it's Namco Bandai they're dead). Not to sound anymore fanboyish than I already do, I think it may be in their best interest to have worked on an NGP project. I have a feeling people will devour quality original content on there, and a new IP from a proven studio would do that.

Insane For Sony
No idea if that's their publisher for this, but they deserve for SCE to give them a shot with a new IP on PS3.They made them the most amazing PSP game when noone in the west wants to bother anymore.

They recently said that that's not something they think it's worth doing sadly (can't blame them can you?).

Ooookay? I have major doubts, and besides, when was the last time Nintendo published a new IP (at least on a home console) from a western 3rd party developer? Geist?

I was more referring to retail, that I can't recall any.

Well, they've tried to turn themselves into a middleware developer as well as a game design house, licensing out their RAD tools to developers. I've not seen any bites on that, though, and they had some layoffs a little while back. But as far as going cross-platform, they're more a studio that just needs support through a single project from a good, strong publisher; whether that be a multiplatform project or an exclusive, they just need to be given time and kept away from that cycle of workhorse multi-project development that I don't seeing being their strength.

Awesome, they've already proven their competence handling other companies IPs, I can't wait to see what they'll do left to their own devices. I'm also just eager for genuine action adventure games that don't fit the standard first/third person shooter template that's been driven into the ground this generation. I'll be keeping an eye out for any new developments.
I am surprised that they have had such a hard time finding a publisher. They put out multiple good/great games for the PSP, so I wonder why Sony wouldn't want to publisher a console game of theirs. Give these guys a crack at it.
Unless RAD didn't want them to and hoped another would publisher picked them up. Can't say I'd want either EA or Activision to get their hands on them though.

They did some amazing stuff on the PSP, so I can't wait to see what they can pull off on the PS3.

New IP for PS3, win win. Glad they weren't picked up for dirty work on an existing IP.
Gotta give Sony props for putting out a steady lineup of not just solid franchises but new IP's.

I think it's too early to assume Sony is publishing the game.LiquidMetal14 said:
Initially Ready at Dawn said they were working on PS3 and 360:

360 could have simply been left out of that job listing, though it wouldn't be a surprise if Sony inked another deal with the studio.

Wasn't that game canned (or put on hold) because they couldn't find anyone to pick it up? That's why they went back to working on another PSP GoW.

They're independent, no one is going to MAKE them do anything.
That said, with how stellar their work was on portables and their competent work on Okami Wii, I think now is the time for them to branch out and finally release an IP of their own.

Wouldn't be shocked if sony is the pub.
If they made god of war 4 and SSM made a new ip that would probably the best for everyone.
RAD get a guaranteed 2 million + seller and Sony santa Monica can strut there stuff making a new ip.

Obviously they've struggled and have had to fall back on past successes (with great results, I might add,) but I think that layoff in part was also because of a failed attempt to become a middleware provider.
If it turns out to be Sony published game, then it is my most looking forward announcement by far. Mostly because it's 3rd person action adventure. My favorite.
It says "the console". And it lists PS3. Maybe Sony decided to publish their game, and help them in development. I really hope so.
But let's not forget "Adrift". that one was also "Sony published PS3 project" but then out of no where turned out to be multi.
Regardless how this one turns out - Sony published or not. Sony seems to have many new PS3 IPs in the work.

Quantic Dream (rumor of 2 projects)
Zipper (that ridiculous RPG leak/rumor)
less certain
Media Molecule (could be for Vita but they confirmed to be working on new IP)
Already announced
Idol Minds - Ruin, Starhawk ?

Looking forward to anything Ready at Dawn does. Hopefully SCE helps them out because they have put the work in with PSP.
This never got a thread title update, so I feel it should.
Nice one. I really think SCE is publishing it, it'd be swell to see these guys have a shot at an IP that isn't God Of War

On the other hand, what publishers are able/willing to make a new IP a success on ps3/360 in 2011?
First Parties
Take Two, but only with Rockstar's stuff
...Square Enix?
I think going first party would give them a better chance at success than sending the game to die with Namco or somebody at the helm, and bigger companies like Ubisoft and Activision aren't really bothering with new IPs, let alone externally developed new IPs.
