Sony will announce a new PS3 game today at 8:00pm (GMT)

PS3Hype writes: 'Today Dave Epke (President Sony Computer Entertainment Benelux) announced on is twitter that Sony will reveal a new PlayStation 3 game at 20:00pm. Would that mean that Sony is going to reveal 2 games in one week?'

[From N4G editor] We will update this post when the title is revealed!

[Mr_Bun]

Website says 21:00 (9pm) but which time zone? I'm guessing CET judging by the site, which puts the announcement in another 4.5 hours or so

Edit: Chris
Don't quote me on that...I'm just using relationship to the website location...It's the only guess I have

[Chris399]

I'll find out with my morning cup of tea tomorrow :) Seriously, this gen has been all about the hype; I think I'm immune to it at this point.

Edit: 4.5 hours! Nice find!

[lars2thev]

It's the time of The Netherlands +1 GMT.

[RedDragan]

So 20:00 GMT then. Cool.

Who has the link by the way to the announcement?

[sikbeta]

·Twisted Metal PS3
·Syphon Filter PS3
·The Getaway PS3

Gaming FTW!!!

[na2ru1]

be a game for GDC?

[FreeMonk]

Killzone 3, Twisted Metal 3 etc.....GIVE ME PARAPPA THE RAPPER 3!!!

[ThanatosDMC]

I'm hoping for Starhawk 256 with mech suits, lots of armored vehicles, capital ships, frigates, fighters, bombers, etc or something completely different but completely incredible.

[fedex682]

The PS2 is completing 10 years today and a new sequel is being announced for the PS3 today. Coincidence?

[TheHater]

that asking for too much

[Mr_Bun]

You can't blame Thanatos...as PS3 owners, we've come to expect high standards with our exclusives

[Sev]

@ fedex...

I was thinking the same thing. I'm guessing it's a flagship PS2 title, perfect time to announce it.

[sikbeta]

@ThanatosDMC & TheHater

256 is asking too much, but 128Players + Great Graphics = Epic

Gaming FTW!!!

[TheHater]

yeah, we PS3 owners are spoiler with quantity and quality :)
Can't wait to get home and play my Heavy Rain DLC and then hop back on WKC

[jack_burt0n]

@ThanatosDMC

yeah its been ten years, I want this in realtime!

http://www.youtube.com/watc...

[starvinbull]

Holland = KZ3, no?

[Ryuha1234h]

I'm confuse here. Is this same anouncement from GTTV or another anouncement.

[Darkstorn]

Guerilla Games is based in the Netherlands... Could this mean Killzone 3?

[gaffyh]

Is this the same GTTV reveal or different one? Any Dutch speakers here?

[mabreu]

Maybe its a FPS title like Killzone 3 or Resistance 3 because they can compete with the release of Halo:Reach.

I'm hoping for Twisted Metal. C'mon David Jaffe!!

[vhero]

Its weird sony doing this its usually MS doing this.. Oh and its timesplitters 4 exclusive :). You read it here first!!!

[Blaster_Master]

New game announced for the ps3? OMG Im excited.

[shadow2797]

Am I the only one who sees the irony in writing 20:00 "PM"?

At least it's not in the title anymore.

[Babylonian]

The site is reporting from a Twitter account of Dave Epke where he is saying: "Around 21:00 (Dutch time, GMT+1) a new PS3 game will be announced, no right guesses so far"

So that means that what we have been speculating the last days is not what is going to be announced.

Funny thing is I know Dave Epke, he used to be one of my mentors during my internship at SCE Benelux. Very nice and funny guy.

[Syronicus]

Hey, Enter the Gecko was hilarious.

[Noctis Aftermath]

[arakouftaian]

News for Killzon3 sometime this week?
I mean this is it, if is not KZ3 it will be
a new IP from GG, but I hope is KZ3

[Double07]

Its not Killzone 3, Motorstorm 3 or Starhawk apparently

http://www.neogaf.com/forum...

Second post on the page, then Geoff says further down that its not MS3 or Starhawk =/

Quotes: "Guys, I know you love to whip yourselves into a frenzy but no, we are not showing you a Killzone 3 trailer tonight on GTTV. The trailer we're showing is definitely a big frontline title for PS3 though. I believe some info will be online in advance of the trailer."

And "Not Starhawk or MS3! Tune in and see."

Im thinking Syphon Filter for sure now.

[archemides518]

it's something stupid :(

obviously infamous 2

[we won]

Announce a new game on the day the FF13 embargo ends? Hmmm.

[Marceles]

It's SOCOM :(((((

http://blog.eu.playstation....

[iamtehpwn]

Look it up.

[deafwing]

While i'm sure the war junkies are thrilled ... I'm getting a little tired of war games... ah well .. looking forward to it and hopefully they'll do something better yada yada yada ... *yawn*

[anti-gamer]

KILLZONE 3 or new ip.

[anti-gamer]

I did know it well be a sequel, So i well go to KillZone 3.

[NateNater]

I think it'll be a sequel to a popular PS2 game seeing as how PS2 is 10 years old today.

Perhaps a new Jak and Daxter?

[PS3Freak]

Damn, i never even thought about Jak & Daxter, i hope it is.

[anti-gamer]

I forgot abut Jak & Daxter, jak4 using uncharted engin it well be g8.

[TooTall19]

It's being announced on GTTV.

[nikoado]

What time is the show on? (GMT)

Edit:
I now see it's 20:00 GMT

[sedx]

warhawk 2
getaway 3
infamous 2

[samich2007]

@Mr Bun
Thats the dutch time, and its +1 so in general (english time) it's 20pm ;)

[Mr_Bun]

I thought it was a typo....good to know
+1

Guess that puts it around 3:00pm my time (EST)...right?

[JamMyth]

Mr Bun...if it's 20:00 GMT, then it's 15:00 EST (EST is GMT -5)

And [email protected]
"Am I the only one who sees the irony in writing 20:00 "PM"?"
I'd say it's not Irony, but a little redundant (yes, I'm a grammar snob) :-)

*EDIT*, sorry, 15:00 = 3:00 PM

[PS3Freak]

What? an hour and 15 minutes? it's 1:45 here. SWEEET.

[wotta]

If you look at his twitter account he is at JFK. This story is not accurate.

[kumashii38]

it seems he isn't actually at JFK airport, but he just referred to this news.
http://www.foxnews.com/stor...

[BaSeBaLlKiD721]

He's not at JFK, he is just tweeting a news story about a kid directing pilots at JFK last month.

Better be no kids this Saturday when I'm leaving JFK...

[plb]

Better be good Sony! And while your being so generous how about a release date for The Last Guardian and some Agent screenies or video or something about that game!

[ScarT]

Killzone 3. No doubt!

[Antan]

I`ve heard its actually going to be friday?

[SUPREME RULER]

what i think on the matter of 360 fanboys
tell you i have been gaming for 25 years, let me say this, i seen almost every gaming war debate there ever was. i am glad to say this, this gaming gen have more haters then any other gen i ever seen. Ya, xbox fanboys are the worst i ever seen. not only that most of you are stupid beyond belief. i seen so many articles on here, and comments that show how MS brain wash yah into becoming a "cheerleader puppet" and whatever papa ms say you all agree. god forbid if even try to argue facts and logic with a xbox360 fanboy. it's like talking to a breakwall. or an artistic child( sorry it's true) i read the comments on n4g, and i say to myself man there's alot of brain damage people on this site.

no i am not a fanboy of the ps3, more like a fanboy of great games. no matter what console it's on. later and out from a gaming vet.

[SSCOOLCHEA]

I HATE BOTS ESPECIALLY XBOTS

[Udidntlistenpunk]

*drumrolls*

Its SOCOM FOUR.

Personally, Im a little disappointed but damn the first pictures look great. Killzone 2 quality graphics.

[GR8 1]

It's the same GTTV announcement, because it's at 8pm for UK which is same time as GTTV for UK.

[Lucreto]

The game is going to be announced at 8pm tonight but GTTV won't be on until tomorrow at around 7.30 am.

[SuperbVillain]

cant muthaf*ckin wait!

[rawd]

SCE Benelux acquired Guerrilla Games? So is it KZ3

[jack_burt0n]

yeah i thought that to, but a year is to soon for the reveal imo 2 is still selling.

[joydestroy]

wut? GG is part of SCEE

[rawd]

I just googled SCE Benelux and its all articles about how they acquired GG

[joydestroy]

uhm, which is part of Europe...and the acquisition i'm seeing happened back in '05. http://www.gamershell.com/c...

regardless, it's not KZ3. it's most likely Starhawk.

@rawd no worries :)

[rawd]

ok you are right, I'm wrong

[Gigalol]

Great. Another superior multiplatform title on xbox 360.

[RedDragan]

As you are clinically diagnosed as brain dead, your opinion does not count.

[PopEmUp]

this dude should be locked up in a mental hospital, where he won't able to infect anyone with his mental illness

[nogolis]

We thought it was MS3 here at the tilt, but since have been shown new footage of Starhawk and we are about 80% positive it's Starhawk now. The MS3 trailer will be shown off at GDC next week. It looks amazing, by the way.

As for Starhawk, what we've seen, Starwars has little on it. It looks intense and epic.

[Pennywise]

How's the graphics compared to Warhawk?

[joydestroy]

i'd be on board for this!

[nogolis]

It looks better than Warhawk. Things are more streamline now. The characters are more scaled. Much thinner and lankier. The textures have improved a great deal. A tad under Uncharted 2's maybe... Somewhere in between.

The trailer we've seen has a central planet where a battle is taking place, a black ship with red boosters lifts off and jumps into space, one movement and animation, and engauges in a dogfight with a massive fleet of other ships. Way more than 32, believe me. More like 100, but don't quote me on the exaxt number.

One ship lands on the deck of a larger battleship thing and a guy jumps out. He has a laser rifle. He shoots out a node on the side of the ship. Ship starts rocking. At this time a massive amount of other ships storm the larger battle ship and start hitting it in sweeps. Guy jumps off the ship's landing and rocket boost away as the ship explodes.

Trailer ends.

It looks intense. Massive battles here. Massive.

[Pennywise]

Benefit of the doubt is being extended here. I am excited for Warhawks sequel... just hope they really aren't naming it Starhawk.

I hope its at least 128 players. MAG has me spoiled.

[joydestroy]

can you like...capture this vid footage or something? lol i just wanna see it now! :)

[jack_burt0n]

@nogolis

So its engine rendered? wow what about the ms3 trailer is that using the game engine?

[spunnups]

Sounds like Warhawk has been using MAGs tech. ROD!!

[DaTruth]

Sounds a lot like Battlefront with more people. I liked Battlefront, but never had online with the PS2. Was the first game I played online on my PS3. Hence the name Jedipimmmp which I didn't think I would get stuck with forever!

Edit:I would have settled for Warhawk with destruction! Imagine by the time the match ends, the entire place is destroyed and the bunkers can only be destroyed by the bunker buster remote missiles, but they can be shot down. No more hiding from the tank in a house; BOOM!!! The walls come down!

[Pennywise]

SOCOM4. Not even close.

[WildArmed]

So much for Starhawk and MS3 >.>

[nogolis]

Please remember i never said it'd be either of the two. And, to be 100% honest, I didn't even know Socam 4 was in the works. It hit all of us out of left field too. We aren't shown everything... We don't know everything. We know what we get in our e-mails and through phone conversations and such. We attend these events and talk to people and try to keep in touch with them in order to keep a steady flow of info flowing but in no way do we know everything that goes down.

I told you what the Starhawk trailer consisted of "generally" and I told you in great detail what the MS3 trailer will be like. Remember those and then get back to me. You will see both very, very soon. Probably within the next week and a half. GDC is around the corner.

Trust me.

[TOO PAWNED]

LOST IN TRANSLATION

this is prob about gttv game

[DirtyLary]

SOCOM 4

"Do it , do it now!!!!" in my best Arnold voice.

[oldskoolgamer]

"Get to the choppa" lol couldn't resist
BTW I would love a new soviet strike in HD even if its just psn but I'm probably the only one :(

[artgamer]

If its from the Netherlands then its Killzone 3 no doubt.

[DirtyLary]

damn crushed my S4 hopes. Oh well too soon. MAG hype is still going.

[Denethor_II]

PS3 is where its at doooooggggg

[Lirky]

I have a feeling itll be twisted metal ps3 because of how jaffe mentioned how microsofts scrap metal game copied off twisted metal. And how ppl had ideas of that he was making a twisted metal game.

[jjesso1993]

really love it if getaway 3 been back in development for 6 months or somthing and they realase loads hd videos and its coming out in septemver that make be so bloody happy. but as artgamer said its most likey killzone 3.

[Convas]

Seriously people, if you can't tell by now, I lived on the Sly Cooper games on my Playstation 2.

I WANT SLY COOPER 4! Make it Happen Sony!

[Dipso]

You really think after all the hardship that Sucker Punch went through to step away from cartoon style titles that they are just going to launch straight back into Sly? They will build upon the current momentum that they have achieved with inFamous, inFamous 2 is next.

[MajesticBeast]

I think its to soon to announce killzone 3. I hope for starhawk or heavenly sword then syphon filter at gdc.

[Al Bundy]

Can't wait to find out what this game is. Please be Twisted Metal.

[Akagi]

Whatever it'll be, it will no doubt be awesome.

PS3 FTW

[xg-ei8ht]

The game is STARHAWK.

Enjoy using killzone2 engine 3.0

64players 720p, 3d,lcd,itv,mpv,mtv,abc,efg.sil lyme. 123.

Obviously i'm just rambling

But i do think it's starhawk.

[ForzaGT]

Please bring back getaway, loved it the PS2. and obiviously KZ3

[Lucreto]

There are two options I think they are going to do.

1. The game will be announced at 8pm and a trailer on GTTV.

2. It is two different games being announced.

[InFaMoUsCaNnOn]

INFAMOUS 2

[bujasem_89]

i think thats a big possibility, i mean either that or heavenly sword 2 that would be total kick ass

[GiantEnemyCrab]

Ninja Theory is working on a new game called Enslaved. Sounds like it will have that Heavenly Sword vibe.. Can't wait

So I don't think we will see a sequel to HS anytime soon.

[anti-gamer]

sony can find anther developers to make HS2, because sony own the HS project.

[Legionaire2005]

Any I want a sequel soon for those games.

Updated: Parasite Eve!!!! too please

[NnT3291]

Twisted Metal please

[DocHoliday]

I do hope it is Socom 4 though. Confrontation sucked, we need a new socom now!

[chisox100]

too early for a Socom 4, Slant6 just made a game and so did Zipper so its not going to be for a while.

So I'm confused on what time this is at. Could someone please tell me what time it will happen for a person living in the US Central Time Zone?

[mrbillybadass]

and its been rumored that zipper has been developing socom 4 for 3 or so years now...announcement is incoming soon...was hoping it'd be that tonight but netherlands...has to be killzone 3

[DirtyLary]

But Zipper already stated they have 2+ years development into S4.

I'm sure will see it at E3. When the MAG hype is over, S4 teaser time!

[Legionaire2005]

nuff said

[TwistedMetal]

I mean it has freaking jets, drop ships, apc transport vehicles, tanks, jet packs, jeeps, mini turrrets, missle turrets, flak turets, huge envioronments, 32 players and tons of ground troop wepons. Its is just sick to have warhawks flying at you while you running around on the ground takieng them out like bruce wilis in die hard 4 lol. Starhawk will blow everything away as far as epic fast pace fun as heck online multiplayer. Nothing else comes close. Also lol at halo finally getting jet packs when warhawk had them for years.

[jack_burt0n]

It is, I just hope they capture the feel of colony wars as well for us fans of that franchise its been a long time waiting for it, that merging with warhawk has some massive possibilities!!!!

[kingpukka]

Kingdom Hearts for ps3

[TheHater]

slowly unzip my pants :)

[AssassinHD]

If you are going to use a 24 hour clock then it is not necessary to specify that it is P.M. I know I am wasting comment space by stating that, but that just irks me.

Edit: I see there is an update apologizing for the title, so just disregard my comment.

Edit2: On a completely unrelated note, I also hate hearing people say "general consensus". That just drives me up the wall.

Edit3: I see now the title itself has been changed.

[Ghostbob]

I hope it's Zone of enders.

[prettyboy1]

COME ON HEAVENLY SWORD2

[Ghostbob]

Please.

[farrelljade]

holland = guerilla games = killzone 3!!... CHACHING!!!!

[-Gespenst-]

I couldn't care less about Starhawk. Never played Warhawk, never thought it looked very good, and it wouldn't really be much of a surprise. We all know it's in development.

For it to qualify as a surprise it would have to be something like Syphon Filter, MediEvil, Crash Bandicoot, Klonoa, Tomba, Wipeout or Tenchu.

[AssassinHD]

I would love to see another Tenchu game. Wrath of Heaven quality mind you, not Tenchu Z.

[CARRIERHASARRIVED]

None surpassed the original IMO. Big fan of the first one, didn't care much for the rest of them.

Tenchu Z needs to be erased from existence though, I can't believe they even released that thing.

[divideby0]

as soon as I can pick up a 3D 24" monitor...gonna hook the 2nd PS3 up to it for some 3D gaming in the den....

[archemides518]

which it probably is, why reveal out of nowhere

unless it's to counter the "massive" halo reach trailer, which to me was whatever...strictly for the halo freeks

[dkgshiz]

Today is the PS2s birthday. Its 10 years old. It kind of makes sense really.

[W831SOLIDSNAKE]

http://www.youtube.com/watc...

[chidori666]

another exclusive for ps3 and 360 still only halo reach exclusive this year.. :/

[Das_Bastardion]

The xbox also have Alan Wake, and that's gonna be a good game too, at least i hope so, i dont want to suffer another Too Human disappointment

[azazin]

Even though I prefer the PS3 over the Xbox 360, I don't see why people are disagreeing with Das_Bastardion. What did he say that you had to disagree with?

Nothing
....

[arakouftaian]

Some PS3 fanboys loves to act like lil 13y/o fat spoil xbox fanboys
some like me and knows xbox has few games
but they just making fun on the xbox fanboys who loves to say
PS3 has no games back in the 2006 and 2007
I remember xbox fanboys loves saying that stupid same words to

[GiantEnemyCrab]

I'm calling it now... Sly Cooper 4

[CARRIERHASARRIVED]

That would totally ruin the excitement for me.. Others might be more happy to hear about a new Sly Cooper, I hear people enjoyed it.

It could be anything though..

[genkis300]

ok it must be a new title, so its SHENMUE 3 :)

[stuntman_mike]

i hope its something totally new (but i think it will be a big let down)

[CARRIERHASARRIVED]

Too bad it's not a new Legend of Dragoon.

[NYC_Gamer]

i hope its the getaway3

[lynchjuk]

I Hope its Shenmue 3 :-)

[XBOX360 HAS NO GAMES]

We need some TPS I hope it's Syphon Filter for ps3 or Socom maked by Zipper

[DigitalHorror81]

I really want an RTS! :o)

[JonnyBigBoss]

Strange day to announce a new game, but I'll take it!

[Hotel_Moscow]

8pm what eastern

[Perkel]

Killzone 3 ?? Developer match with nationality but it's 10 years of PS2 ... And killzone wasn't that hyped then...

Maybe... BLACK 2 !!!!!! (still doesn't sum up ;) )

[lars2thev]

HAHA BLACK 2, how can you ever mention that game :P

[outwar6010]

no its shadow steps a new ultra realistic ip owned by sony

[Ma1nframe]

Killzone 3...3D that is..

BOOYA!!!

[Grown Folks Talk]

Parasite Eve 3.

[Arkham]

I'd love to see that!

[Grown Folks Talk]

Wouldn't mind another Overblood or even Fear Effect. A new Flashback from the Sega Genesis wouldn't hurt my feelings either.

[Arkham]

Well, it's confirmed (by someone from G4TV) not to be either KZ3 or StarHawk (BOO!) or MS3. (via neogaf)

I think that leaves Syphon Filter. (I think Infamous 2's too soon, but it'd be great!)

[jack_burt0n]

gonna be great for bend properly get them in the spotlight as top tier developers.

[Cajun Chicken]

An hour! An Hour to go!

[JRisburning]

I can't wait...

[davethedj]

its 9 pm!

[MajesticBeast]

Its socom 4 check the euro blog.

[jjesso1993]

its 5 past 8 i want to know !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! wow SOCOM 4 sounds amazing but theres realse date !

[ISKREEM]

It's SOCOM. At least it's being developed by Zipper this time around.

[Arkham]

...And SOCOM 4 spoils the day!

[Foliage]

Zipper making Socom is freaking huge. The console multiplayer kings are back working on the Socom franchise. Freaking awesome.

[Ryuha1234h]

The anouncement is Socom 4.

[gtamike123]

nooo >.>

[cobraagent]

The hell I wasted 1 hour of my life waiting for a game thal i would never play. The hell Sony. The hell

[ISKREEM]

Blame Geoff for that.

[lars2thev]

Hell yeah, it's SOCOM!

[PS360PCROCKS]

socom? oh...looks good. I dunno though, I'm kind of over shooting stuff at this point haha.

[xyxzor]

Weren't we also suppose to get some info on a new game on friday too.

[aussieracer]

SOCOM!? Did we really need hype for this? What crap.

[emd20002001]

OMG Zone of The Enders 3 will be more than amazing...... ppppplllllleeeeaaaasssseeee Sony

[ATi_Elite]

SOCOM hell yehand it's in early development but it looks like it will dethrone God of War 3 for best Graphics.

The PS3 is unstoppable (except next to my Gaming PC)

[N4BmpS]

It is SOCCOM 4 a few other sites are reporting it now. go to G4 it' coming in the fall

[Phane]

North America Gran Turismo release date Please!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[CrimsonFox13]

F*ck yeah! SOCOM!!! Hell f*cking yes!!!

[equax]

Socom does not seem very appealing to me, not really a fan of TPS. I can always give it a shot though.

[nan0]

Wow. Nobody guessed it and I know why. That game always seemed pretty weak. I love graphics but great graphics won't make me just fall in love with any game.

SOCOM always felt like a Ghost Recon or MOH based game. It's run into the ground I want something better.

Booo.

[Ravenger]

I was really hoping for Twisted Metal or Syphon Filter

[ALFAxD_CENTAURO]

It's Socom or is not Socom related?

[DirtyLary]

Called it! But it's too soon. MAG is barely out a month.
