NowGamer: A promo for the next episode of GameTrailers TV has confirmed a 'surprise sequel' announcement from Sony.
Some have speculated it will be Resistance 3, but as it has had it's cover blown it wouldn't be much of a surprise. Our bet is on Motorstorm 3, which had it's own domain registered by Sony a couple of weeks back...
Killzone 4, Motorstorm, and LittleBigPlanet to be announced along with the PS4 next week.
Anything MM creates is gold for me so Im excited to see what they show on the 20th.
I always thought Motorstorm had great potential to be an amazing game I hope they show something spectacular.
Killzone 2 is one of my top 5 favourite games this gen, its time for GG to forget the famous demo video they showed all those years ago that they couldnt match. forget it and top it!!
My hype level...

Mm are, by their own admission, working in a new IP besides Tearaway and have reportedly washed their hands of LBP. It's been passed on to the team that did LBP Vita.
I do expect them to be working on a PS4 launch title but it's anyone's guess what it could be.
Whoa didn't hear that they left LBP, but there is no question that MM is a ridiculously talented team no matter what IP they come with.
Killzone 4 and an LBP 2 would be huge, but I got Motorstorm Apocolypse with my Sony 3DTV and even though it was a fun game but the reception wasnt that great at retail.
But after playing Apocolypse in 3D I can't even imagine what that team could create with a more powerful system.
Hopefully we will hear on the 20th

Its hard to think that most of Mm's talent came from Lionhead studios.
Just goes to show , if you give your studio freedom to create what they want, you'll be greeted with something fun and unique...
Ain't that right Peter??... Oh wait! ;)
@wit wolfy i think pete is more than willing to give people freedom the problem is i don't think MS are, fable was a success so lionhead became the fable studio and it all went down hill from there.
Bungie left because MS wouldn't let them make anything else.
Same with rare alot of the talent left,
One day MS will wake up and treat game devs like film directors and let them do what they want, nobody wants to make the same thing over and over.
It is Sumo digital I believe...
They could very well come out with this, I hope and trust that MM will have a lot of say in the creation process... With all new expansive creation tools at the ready. Plus new gameplay elements now available due to extra power...
The new MM IP has been in the works for 3 years now including R&D... I hope that this is the one that rears it's beautiful head... With LBP 3 later in 14', don't get me wrong, I have LBP series at my top 3 games this gen... I hope they give it the 3D treatment, open it up,sandbox would be ideal, a massive open World to explore...
I still hope for Naughty dog's new IP and The last guardian too...Greedy I know...I know...
I showed my 2 lil boys (5&6 yrs) the Feb 20th preview, they have joined US on the PS4 hype train!!! FAAAKENAAWESOME!
Lol... look how excited people are for games ending with.... Part 3,.. Part 4... Part 2 and so on. Yet this gen, it's not ok for a Halo 4, Gears 3 and so on.
:) LOL.
True but those are the only games M$ has. While the Sony works on bring out new ips every year along with their older games. The Last of Us is about to drop. Not to long ago Infamous was release.
M$ doesn't do this at all. They rely on gears and halo. Even that's not working like it use to.
Hilarious
M$ says know one in the UK will no about the PS4... well here go.
http://www.eurogamer.net/ar...
Trust that all of UK gaming community will be watching.
@ miDnIghtEr20c_SfF So true fanboyism at its finest. Delusional , arrogant, and blind. Sony could sell them an Xbox 360 and they'd lap it up like the Kool aid they drink all day long.
I love when guys like you try to misrepresent everyone's opinions to try to make a point.
Sequels aren't the issue. It's the dependence on a select few that people don't like, and in that case, Sony and MS couldn't be further apart. Compare the list of published games. It's easy to see the difference.
But, no... go ahead. Keep on pretending it's just the fact that it's a sequel that people take issue with. Reality is too inconvenient to deal with anyway.
@ Beatdown
'Compare the list of published games. It's easy to see the difference'
Compare the list of new IPs this gen and let us know how big of a difference is.
If MS alone by your opinion are overdependent on a select few then how many more new Ips did Sony publish over MS?
Evil
Oh, EVIL.
"Compare the list of new IPs this gen and let us know how big of a difference is."
And why would I do that? This has nothing to do with overall new IPs since 2005, which were clearly more frequent and of higher quality back then. People want MS to go back to that strategy. The bulk of the criticism has to do with MS's recent strategy of relying on the same few core franchises over the past three or four years while focusing on Kinect. MS has actually released fewer games from 2010 onward than they did from launch to 2010. And guess how many prior to that used Kinect. Z E R O. If you understand the concept of subtraction, it's painfully obvious traditional games have been neglected by MS.
Maybe that's why some people act like the criticism is unjustified. Just like Midnight, you don't even seem to understand what the criticism is in the first place. Don't worry. MrBeatdown is here to help you understand.
Since you're into comparing lists, why don't we look at MS's recent publishing habits versus Sony's. Let's look at all the big released or upcoming retail franchises since 2010. You know... the recent stuff people are actually taking issue with.
SONY
- God of War
- Gran Turismo
- Heavy Rain
- M.A.G
- Modnation Racers
- Infamous
- Killzone
- LittleBigPlanet
- MotorStorm
- Ratchet & Clank
- Resistance
- Socom
- Uncharted
- PlayStation All-Stars
- Warhawk/Starhawk
- Twisted Metal
- Beyond
- The Last of Us
- Sly Cooper
MS
- Alan Wake
- Crackdown
- Fable
- Halo
- Forza
- Gears of War
Now, let's break those down...
Number of unique series since 2010
Sony: 19
MS: 6
Number of new IPs since 2010
Sony: 5 (not counting PS Allstars)
MS: 1
Series that saw more than one original game since 2010:
Sony: 2
MS: 3
Franchises that saw their first and only original game on PS3/360 since 2010
Sony: 8
MS: 1
Hopefully those numbers clear things up for you.
not only that but these games hardly sell shit. motorstorm, killzone. they sell very little. At least Halo/gears tops charts
look at the knucklehead 3 posts down listing shit. Puts "NEW IP" for Ps3 games but not alan wake/Gears of war. didnt even list alan. sony fanbot
Lol PS4 is likely launching this year and PS3 is still getting multiple NEW IPs in its 7th year. The Last Of Us, Beyond Two Souls, Puppeteer, etc. So be selective all you want. Your trolling is pathetic and boring at this point. And don't sit here and act like it isn't smart business to launch a new console with established franchises.
;)LOL
See this is a perfect example of why Midnight had a point.
I think it's cool that people can root for PS4 games that are on their 4th installment, but midnight is dead on in my opinion about the reception MS would have had.
But who cares. It's all opinions at the end of the day.
See we could go list for list but heres the bottom line if people want to pretend in their head that games like Halo don't exist then let's look at # of new IPs Sony and MS year for year.
New Ips
Micrsoft had around 25 and Sony had around 28 going up through 2012
Both MS and Sony had around 12+ New IPs for Kinect and Move.
There were years where MS would have 4 new IPs and Sony only 1 and there were years were Sony would have 4 Ips and MS only 1.
MS is smart to double down on the franchises that 360 gamers love, just like Sony is wise to release sequels to their biggest franchises.
At the end of the day, if your fanbase love and supports those games then it makes sense. If not then it's a bunch of empty lists and developers out of work.
On topic if the K4 rumor is true then Sony's PS4 launch is already looking really strong
Evil
"See this is a perfect example of why Midnight had a point. "
No, actually he doesn't. Constantly trolling Sony related articles invalidates any sort of point he tries to get across. All he is is a fanboy mocking other fanboys. Surprise f*cking surprise that Sony fanboys would root for Playstation sequels and bash Microsoft sequels. But don't make it seem like it's a general statement for every pro PlayStation member on this site.
@Evil
"See this is a perfect example of why Midnight had a point."
Unfortunately (and unsurprisingly) you didn't respond to any point I made. Instead you just do what you always do... you distract from the actual criticism I explained by making it out to be nothing more than an issue of sequels versus new IPs. Maybe it's because you're just that hellbent on defending MS. Maybe it's because you just aren't capable or processing any logic that goes beyond "SEQUELS BAD! NEW IPS GOOD!"
Either way, you ignore the actual criticism.
It's not purely about sequels. It's not just about new IPs. But that's what you twist it into, so you can cry hypocrisy alongside Midnight. You oversimplify the criticism. You make the argument out to be something far more simplistic than it is so you don't have to acknowledge that so many people have a valid criticism. You did the same thing here too...
http://n4g.com/news/1161082...
When you can't defend MS from the criticisim, you try to pretend the criticism is something different.
The facts are plainly obvious... MS has distilled their line-up down to Halo, Gears, and Forza over the past few years, and put all the effort that once went into the likes of PGR, Lost Odyssey, Perfect Dark, and Crackdown into Kinect dancing games and a bunch of mediocre games with "Kinect" in the game title.
The facts don't lie, whether people like you and Midnight want to hear it or not... MS has become overly dependent on the same three IPs and put all the rest of their publishing efforts into lousy Kinect games, and for that, the variety of non-Kinect games has gone down the toilet.
People want more variety from Microsoft when it comes to traditional controller based games... more than just Gears, Halo, and Forza. That's the criticism. And it's a criticism that has plenty of validity, regardless of whether or not you want to accept it.
People like you try to make Sony out to be the same so you can cry hypocrisy when fans treat Sony and MS differently, but Sony hasn't turned their publishing into nothing more than a factory for a line-up limited to GT, Killzone, and Uncharted, and a pile of mediocre Start the Party and Sports Champions games. They push to do far more... to provide variety, both new and old... to try to find the next great franchise. People like you like to fault them for trying when something doesn't sell millions, but at least the effort is there, as is the quality, and it's pretty damn obvious it pays off, since Sony has created far more successful franchises this generation than Microsoft has.
They're not the same. Case in point:
Xbox 360
Halo 3, Halo odst, halo reach and halo 4
Gears of war 1, 2, 3 and the new one
Fable 2 and 3
Forza 2, 3, and the current one
PS3
New IP uncharted 1, 2 and 3
Gran Turismo prologue and 5
New IP Motorstorm 1, PC and Apocalypse
Those franchises u named all have previous iterations that existed on the platform that preceded it with the exception of GoW and that has 4 iterations this gen already.
I thought u entertain u a lil
But the best part is you only put a fraction of the games.
Games published by Sony that got multiple games on the PS3.
Sony
God of War, Infamous, Uncharted, Killzone, Little big Planet, Ratchet & Clank, Resistance, Sports Champions,Socom, Motorstorm
Games published by MS that got mulitple games on the Xbox 360.
Halo, Fable, Forza, Gears of War, Mass Effect, Ninety Nine Nights, Project Gotham. Viva Pinata, Kinect Sports, Dance Central
These are ONLY the ones with multiple games for that particuliar IP under the two publishers.
There were many games that didn't get sequels and third party publishers that had sequels like Left 4 Dead etc.
No One had as many games as COD with had 8 this gen on the 360.
Just as well as games like Assassin's Creed which got 5 back to back games.
Just thought I'd entertain u a lil more
Evil
lol why do devs give hints?? Lol they cannot contain their own excitement to real their game guess.
I can care less what games are good or bad. For the first 4 months of a new console I usually just a graphics whore. Then after about 5-6 months when I gut used to the level of graphics I pay attention to what is good/not good.
But day 1 show me next gen graphics,physics, AI and I am sold..
i don't think we are gonna see motorstorm, i think evolution studios are doing a new racing game, a new IP.
they hired some of the developer talent from the team that worked on PGR for ms and Blur. so i am thinking this will be very good since evolution studio was alreday very good bt adding top level talent can only help
MM are not doing LBP, i think the development team that did LBP Vita will be doing LBP3 or LBP world with help and feedback from MM
Killzone 4 is a sure bet, sony is gonna show it to show how powerful ps4 is and what it is capable of
I can't wait for this announcement! I'm holding my breath for a next-gen Killzone. 4 more days!
I think GT6 is about a decade away judging by their extremely long developement time.
Really so theyre not going to bother realsing an gran turismo game on ps4.. get real
Killzone 4 would be great. I think it is too soon for Uncharted 4 to be announced.
I'd honestly enjoy a Heavenly Sword 2 and another Resistance, as Fall Of Man was perfect for a PS3 launch title.
Oh I forgot, Gran Turismo 6. That as a launch title would ship millions of PS4's on its own. Hopefully it is ready around launch.
Honestly, I want new ips, not ips from this gen as launch titles. I really cant see myself playing a killzone 4 or an uncharted 4. Though it would be great to play them, it wouldnt feel like i am on a new console if i played them as launch titles. Sony should launch the ps4 with new ips from their known developers instead. I dont want Sony to go the route of ms, refurbishing existing ips. They can just bring out the killzones and uncharteds 5 years into the consoles life.
I sort of agree, but then Sony balance out sequels with new IP's, which we will be seeing for sure. I'd have to say though Gran Turismo 6 is my most anticipated. When I buy I system, I'd like a new racer, and a new game to showcase its visuals in general, aka Killzone 4. GT6 will have amazing visuals, but it would be hard to translate those visuals into just say an RPG or FPS.
Anyway, looking forward to the 20th. I'll be watching and waiting. Finally, a new console generation. Makes me feel younger.
I'm with you guy. Playing the 4th or 5th version of a series is NOT going to excite me into buying a new system right away.
I want something new as they KNOW fans are going to buy these games WHENEVER they come out.
Sure the folks who are looking forward to a new coat of paint on their fav series are, but I think there tons of older gamers who are looking for more than just something to brag about.
If KZ4 plays like every other shooter this gen but with pretty graphics, I'm going to be quite disappointed.
I dont even see why there would be a debate over this . They have their sequels but obviously they'll have new games , even at launch .
PS Vita Universe writes: "Feb 22, 2012 the launch date of the new PlayStation Vita. Those of us who have a PS3 will be hoping that the majority of new games coming out this year will have remote play, we can sit back and enjoy our PS3 games while loved ones watch their TV shows, or perhaps play along on the big screen via co-op play."
Capcom should make a Vita exclusive resident evil game. That beautiful OLED screen which provides perfect contrast would be great for horror games. A deadspace would be great as well.

Andriasang: Will narration from Amuro Ray voice actor Toru Furuya get people looking at the PS3 racing sequel? No. The answer is no.
Have you seen other Japanese game commercials? Well, this is what they usually look like and I think the game will sell well from it.
So damn lively, in comparison EU commercials for all games are too serious. Japan gets the light hearted funny ones all the time.
I wouldn't have looked twice at this game, or this article, if not for seeing Furuya's name attached to it. So.... I'm gonna go ahead and say the writer's basic assumption is flat-out ass-backwards wrong.
andriasang.com Shows How To (probably not) get people to return to their site.. (probably)
I wouldn't mind it, but I really don't want it to be Motorstorm 3. I still haven't picked up 2 because it's still at the ridiculous price of............................ ........60 BUCKS!
TGSI
So the "surprise PS3 sequel" is a third installment?
I'm not sure about that.
If Sony registered the domain for Motorstorm 3 wouldn't its cover be just as blown as resistance 3?
Motorstorm 3 would be just great but Killzone 3, Resistance 3 or Infamous 2 would be awesome
I really hope its Motorstorm 3, its the best arcade racing series this gen.
