Sony tells Phil Harrison "to make people cry"

SCEE boss David Reeves has attempted to tackle the question of what is there to look forward to from Sony's internal studios after Killzone 2 ships. He says there are six or seven internally developed PS3 titles "which are absolutely spectacular" and that one of the objectives given to Phil Harrison was "to make people cry".

[mikeslemonade]

I can see Heavy Rain being one of those games.

[Anything but Cute]

I think Sony might of made a deal to publish Heavy Rain. The makers of Heavy Rain keep talking about how it's gonna be very realistic and emotional.

[[email protected]]

Totally agree with both of ur. bubble 4 both ^^.

[Retro-Virus]

Who, here says Heavy Rain will kick @rse ??

Me !

[San anto]

gran-turismo 5?

[Cartesian3D]

SONY can make people F'in cry with their own hands.. not third party needed :P

third party devs can pick some water in SONY Tsunami in years commin..

good luck sony , make gamers happy

[Cartesian3D]

it is'nt wait beyond..

it is:

WAIT for F'in PLAYING BEYOND WHAT U THINK THAT IT IS THE LIMIT OF YOUR F'in IMAGINATION...

sorry its my PS3 fan side lol. jk.. cant stop my emotions after these words:

" there will be more God of Wars and so on."

[codeazrael]

with laughter!

[aiphanes]

All of these have better graphics and animations that any Xbox 360 game.

All the Xbox 360 has is Gears of War...and maybe Halo 3...Show me something on the Xbox 360 that will blow me away. Everything on the PS3 is still first gen....the second gen games do not come out till Lair. Lair is already been reviewed as have totally awesome graphics and solid game play.

[popup]

Why would you do that? The 360 is pretty damn good mate.

and I would take a huge library of varied titles with good graphics and stories in x years over another 10,000 FPS with 'amazing' graphics anyday...

[sumfood4u]

I cry a lot an Admit to it. Enjoying life now but I been thru it!

[[email protected]]

truth along with White Knights Story... Those a make me cry titles ^^.

[hikikimori]

What are games going to be tear jerker's now?
Trying to get more girls into it?

[THE_JUDGE]

be crying anytime soon but who knows. I want to know that SCEA Santa Monica (ie Dave Jaffe's group) is working on. Its seriously starting to bother me.

[The Real Joker]

Story: He said something that really pissed me off one day. It happened at the time that his mother was quite large which is where the crying comes in. He had locked his keys in his car and we tried for about an hour to get in. Once he pissed me off I made the comment "Hey I have an idea...why don't we just poor fudge sauce on the car door and Tim's mother can just eat through the door. He then began to cry. It was classic.

[codeazrael]

If I had a rooster and your mom had a donkey, and her donkey ate the feet off of my rooster, what do she have????

--- Two feet of my c*ck in her ass. Now that's funny!

[The Real Joker]

your joke is funny as hell.

[AznSniper]

Eight Days
Afrika
Heavy Rain
Angel Rings
Team ICO's PS3 game
another unknown project

[Siesser]

Team Ico's could do it; their games are all about tapping into player emotion.

Either them or Quantic Dreams; that's where I'm placing my money.

[Salvadore]

Maybe infamous or Heavy Rain?

[Lightning Mr Bubbles]

Only games that ever made me cry.

Final Fantasy X - will be hard to top that
Silent Hill 2 - not really cried but really sad in a disturbing way

[tehcellownu]

there probaly a few more unannounce ps3 games that sony is keepin quiet on ...seriouly i wonder 2 year from now..how the games is goin to look like its goin to be astounding

[SimmoUK]

Sony has the biggest inhouse studios, bigger than microsoft's and nintendo's combined, they are all working on games with Phil at the helm, like he said the other day they have alot to show and there will be fireworks at peak...

[UJUSTLOSTONE]

is a lofty goal

How hard would be to make the average gamer cry?
think about it

We spend hours upon hours hacking, shooting, stabbing, and beating the crap out of the characters sent to thwart our heroic, and especially these days, not so heroic efforts.

Now you want to make us cry?

BRING IT.

lol

Good Idea though to try and make gamers feel more emotions during gameplay.

I can't wait to see these games

PEACE GAMERS

[Siesser]

I was a little sad when Agro fell off the cliff...

Seriously though; if they ever make a game of Where the Red Fern Grows, I'm staying far away from it.

[Rythrine]

Same here. I thought Agro was a goner. But the saddest experience I ever had is still when Aerith died in FF7. Never really saw that coming. I had to pause and gather my thoughts for a few minutes after that scene. Hey, I was young back then. You can't blame me lolz.

[Lightning Mr Bubbles]

I think it's what next gen lacks, we get next gen graphics and online play but where is the next gen drama?

I think a game where the plotline and stories can get deep enough to make you emotional or cry is a masterpiece. Only a few games have done it, mostly Final Fantasy, maybe Metal Gear Solid. So like I said Masterpiece games.

[hazeblaze]

Yea, this is pretty easy to believe... they're already showing this year that their internal studios are stronger than a lot of 3rd party developers. Their first party lineup for the holiday is certainly looking better than most of the 360's holiday exclusive list, with Halo 3 & Mass Effect being the only exceptions.

Throw in Haze & UT3 and the PS3 is looking awesome. Then throw in Killzone 2, GT5, MGS4, & Infamous... and the fact that we know GOWIII & Team Ico games are on the way, the PS3 is already off to an awesome start for 2008. I can't wait.

[tomfoolery]

on the 360,Mr. Harrison.

Edit: to blood spill.
Hmmmmm,I never had any issues as the same with 10 other 360 owner friends.
Does that make you a 2 time loser?
Let me break it down for you.
1.Your 360 crashed,(I doubt it Sony boy)you probably don't even own one.
2.And you say you had to rely on your no game/Blu-Roy ps3 to get you by.
I rest my case.

[Blood_Spiller]

I didn't need to wait for DMC on the 360 for it to make my cry, I cried when my 360 suffered from a sudden RRoD and I had to wait four weeks to get it back, luckily though my PS3 was the reliable friend I needed under such tragic circumstances.

[Shapeshifter]

Or maybe eight days or 2 days to vegas.
The getaway
GT5
LA Noir
Toca. race driver one
Petter solberg rally
They are the great exclusives i know of. (the ones i want) I think some of them are multi?

[BlackIceJoe]

I wonder if it could be a third party game from Sqaure-Enix. The game being a remake of FFVII. This way people will be so happy to play FFVII again then they cry. Plus then Aeris dies. So then people cry again. I know it is not this game but I can dream can't I.

[jax07]

Would someone please let me know what first party exclusives microsoft has other than Halo and Fable?
