It better be shown at this along with Killzone. Hopefully Wipeout, HS, Ratchet Clank?

Sony will unveil the flagship PS3 shooter next month, plus masses of other new games CVG has learned

The highly-anticipated PlayStation 3 sequel to Guerilla Game's Killzone is to be officially unveiled at next month's GDC, CVG has learned.

Well placed US sources have revealed to us that the flagship Sony shooter will be shown in full glory at the San Francisco event, perhaps even in the form of a playable demo.

As well as its high price point, the PS3 (like most consoles) has faced criticism for a lack of really high profile, compelling games which make it a 'must buy' and the big reveal of Killzone 2 will also form the spearhead for a raft of new PS3 game announcements at the show, which Sony hope will drive PS3 sales through the roof during the European launch and beyond in the big lead up to the all- important Christmas 2007 market.

SCE worldwide studios president Phil Harrison is also due to keynote at the event, which takes place on March 5 to 9.

Rumor has it that Wipeout PS3 will be using the Motorstorm engine(see EGM Reviews/Rumors thread). If this is true, one could assume that they will also have access to the SIXAXIS controls already in place in Motorstorm. That is not a bad place to start. They have about a year to build off of the Motorstorm controls, which is more than enough time to get it right.

But that rumour is nonsense and makes no sense at all.

Using the Motorstorm engine? How is that not plausible?

Using the Motorstorm engine? How is that not plausible?

Because Evolution Studios(Motorstorm dev) have nothing to do with any WipEout game ever and the actual WipEout developers (Sony Liverpool) are finishing up Formula One:CE on PS3 and will most likely use an engine they are intimate with rather than an unfamiliar one from an outsider(WipEout PS3 is due this year, don't forget)..


DUH!!!
