WTF is that secret BBC PS3 game?

So the BBC saw an unreleased PS3 game that was supposedly mindblowing...does anyone have an idea what it could be....

Is it:

1-Heavy Rain?

2-God of War 3?

3-That game shown @ E3 2k8 with the dude in the black space suit?

4-something else?


Just curious if anyone has heard anything :/
 
The guy from the BBC said it wasn't officially announced or shown off at any event. If the game is still even in development is questionable honestly.
 
Heavy Rain.

And yes I know the guy said it wasn't, but I'm sure it is. He's just some journalist who got his info confused or something.

Or ICO3.

Or canceled.

Dude said after E3 he was disappointed Sony hadn't shown it. And he reiterated it was not HR. It's either Team ICO's game or something we haven't heard about yet. (that narrows the options huh? :) )

The meme started with the BBC guy. Of course PS3 owners will always be on the lookout for THAT mistery game that FINALLY will show the true superiority of the triple.

(guilty, kinda)

Does anyone have a link or actual quotes to this subject?



So what else was I shown? Well, I was shown a trailer for a game not due out till 2009 but was sworn to absolute secrecy. Apparently, Sony just wanted to give a glimpse of what the console will be capable of.

In fact, the game is such a secret that when I mentioned the game to Phil Harrison last week he was unsure at first whether even to admit the title existed. When I explained I had been shown it under strict Non Disclosure Agreement terms he looked relieved.

I don't mean to be a tease - all I can say is that I was left speechless. If the footage I was shown truly is "in game", as told to me by the Sony PR people, then we could be on the brink of a step change in what games consoles are capable of in terms of story-telling and immersion.

And there I'll leave it. Feel free to speculate on what I was shown. I cannot, of course, confirm or deny what it was....

Of course, we can still all laugh at anyone putting this game on their lists. That's sad. Oh and pathetic, too.

EDIT: beaten dirty
 
Article was written back in February, Heavy Rain had a big role out after that.

Pretty sure it was God of War 3 gameplay footage.

Doesn't really fit with his description

It wasn't heavy rain or MAG or God Of War 3 because the BBC guy went to the Sony E3 conference this year which they showed trailers for and he said he was disappointed they didn't show the secret game.
