Cambridge Studios Working On “A New Game In A High Profile, Multi-Million Selling Franchise” For PS3

While it has been rumored for a while that Sony’s Cambridge Studios are working on a PlayStation 3 game, what that title actually is remains unknown, with some people speculating that the developer is working on a new Move game for the casual market. Now, a job listing has emerged that has revealed that Cambridge Studios are working on “a new game in a high profile, multi-million selling franchise”.

[Balt]

Medievil was never a huge series. I'm thinking Syphon Filter. I also know it's not Jersey Devil, Primal, Mark Of Kri or Ghost Hunter; no matter how slick they were.

[doctorstrange]

But I'm pretty sure Sony Bend are making syphon filter, so maybe The Getaway, hmmm

[TOO PAWNED]

probably new Medievil

[Freak of Nature]

I would agree that "the Getaway" would be the odds on favorite game they could be working on, however.....

I sure wish it would be Medievil with an all out full effort and push,done full tilt with no short-cuts.A new gen act/adv platformer with all of the PS3 power backing it.... Destruction Derby too would be something I would love to see....

[RememberThe357]

Destruction Derby is old and not really needed since Sony already has Twisted Metal coming and Motor Storm on a biannual release schedule.

I also wouldn't take Syphon Filter out of Sony Bend's hands. We all know that Socom isn't the same when Zipper doesn't make it, and I think the same would be said for SP if an other studio tried to take it on.

I don't think it's Medievil just because of how it wasn't a huge franchise, and how the remake didn't do well on PSP. However the studio seems to like the series and I wouldn't mind seeing a PS3 installment.

The Getaway seems to have the most potential in terms of sales and critical reception. So I'm going with that. But really for all I know it could be Heavenly Sword 2.

[ChronoJoe]

It's medievil.

This isn't the first time, in a while that this has cropped up. This has been a recurring rumour for 4 months.

Anyway, this could be really, really cool if they do it right. As in, not top down like the old medival games... and hopefully a more sensible combat mechanic. The old medievil games just involved spamming one button, and mixing it up with heavy attacks for different enemies... it was a bore.

[Red_Orange_Juice]

MediEvil HD?

[sinncross]

This is quite the difficult one to gauge.
On one hand it cant' be a Cambridge IP (medieval/ Primal/ Ghosthunter etc) cause none of there games would be classified as multi-million.

It also can't be Syphon Filter 5 cause a slip up from the mo cap team revealed it was Sony Bend (besides its their franchise now)

I'll agree on The Getaway, but it would be disappointing to see London not do it: but they're clearly working on the new Eyepet and the new Singstar titles about it be released.

Of course... Cambridge have been known to help on high profile titles, like Heavenly Sword and Killzone 2.

haha definitely a tough one. Hopefully they do get back to exploring their older IP's though: lots of potential there.

[jack_burt0n]

All the psygnosis IP gets no love whatsoever except for wipeout.

Colony wars, g police, alundra, medievil could all be awesome on ps3 >_<

But this is Heavenly Sword 2.

Medievil unfortunately i just dont think has broad enough appeal to go up against similar titles like sorcery even though move enabled medievil would be win.

what cambridge need to work into heavenly sword 2 is comedy undead knights!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! and talking pumpkins!

[showtimefolks]

one of those would be nice since london studios are woking on may move titles both of these titles were about 50% done so soemone has to complete them

i think sony has so many exclusives that's why we have not heard many new exclusives since E3 2011 so so jammed pack

if you a ps3 fan you don't even have to buy any 3rd party games that's how many exclusives are coming for all kind of gamers

but there are also some great AAA 3rd party titles coming out in 2011 dues-ex can't waite

[callahan09]

Damn you for reminding me of Primal. That game was a masterpiece. One of the absolute best on PS2, and that's saying something because PS2 had a TON of quality games.

[Lifewish]

Medievil would still be a great game to see.

[Vegeta9000]

I wouldn't mind a new IP.

[doctorstrange]

Except, that's the one thing we know they aren't working upon

[karl]

LOL

[zane_7849]

JETTTTTT MOOOOOOTTTTTOOOOO!

[Edward-Kraken]

Haha. Do want.

[GoldPS3]

I would like for Jet Moto and Cool Boarders to come back

[i_am_interested]

singstar, yeah im calling it unfortunately

[KiasuKiasiMan]

Singstar is London Studio's baby, so I doubt Cambridge will take it.

[RememberThe357]

Sony's London Stuidos are supposed to be working on tons of Move titles so it could be that Cambridge is picking up some of the load.

[Genecalypse]

Medievil...maybe. Frankly theres too many to count

[wenaldy]

Maybe they're working on The Getaway 3 (Soho Studio and Cambridge Studio).

[Edward-Kraken]

*drums rolls.......*

Metal Gear Remake. jk

[Bathyj]

Destruction Derby with the Motorstorm engine. Man, that would be sick.

Still, wouldnt mind a new Primal.

Maybe they're just trying to throw us right off with the million franchise talk.

Could it be
Colony Wars?
G-Police?

Or even ressurecting 8 days?

Didnt Sony own Tenchu at the start? If I had one wish and Jessica Alba wasnt available, that would be it.

[MajestieBeast]

Jak and daxter is my guess. Yes i know its Naughty dogs brain child but they all work for the same company so communication between em can be easy enough ND can give their input while cambridge makes the game. What about a full retail wipeout title?

[DigitalRaptor]

Possibly WipEout!!!!

[RandomDude655]

Medievil with move support please

[AXAXAX]

We keep being informed of these HUGE games in development, and then we have silence....
Wasn't it over 6 months ago when Incognito presented their next game (Starhawk) to Sony?? We were to hear about it 'very soon' but nothing came out of it. What about Wardevil? Again, more info, trailers etc was to be revealed and still nothing.
:((
I hope this announcement is Syphon Filter

[DOMination]

Starhawk was presented to Sony last week and wardevil was cancelled six months ago because it didn't exist.

[jaixvx]

Wardevil........canceled.

[NJShadow]

Loved Medieval.

[Sinistrose_2009]

I think it's a new sly cooper
The platinum trophy for sly cooper collection is called
'' Unlock every trophy in the last adventure of Sly Cooper...The last?''

God of war collection >>> god of war 3
Ico collection >>> The last guardian
Sly cooper collection >>>> new sly cooper ?

[Baka-akaB]

no way . SLy cooper is from sucker punch , and they'll most likely do one themselves after they are done with infamous

[Azianphil88]

The Getaway 3 and Eight Days comeback

[Baka-akaB]

Guys it could be Heavenly sword 2 (even if only at 1.5 millions) ... for all their empty and crappy talks , NT always forgot to credit Cambridge for their involvement in the first game .

[R_aVe_N]

They didn't forget they were just taking the credit for it. I do agree it could be Heavenly Sword 2.

[JimboJones]

They'd be taking another franchise and making a sequel

Either:

Syphon Filter 50%
Jak and Daxter 40%
The Getaway 70%
Medievil 50% (Dont know if it sold 1 million

Also, the company could be just helping out like they did for other sony titles, hmmmmmmmmm

[TwistedMetal]

waste there money lol. No twisted metal for you kinect chumps. I dont know what the game will be but it will be awesome.

[Croash]

Even though Primal 2 or Ghosthunter 2 would also be awesome.

But please, no "Tv Superstars 2", why did they even develop this in the first place...

[AceofStaves]

Excellent news. Hoping it's a reboot of "Medieval"

[DigitalRaptor]

Another exclusive!

Here's hoping it's The Getaway. But it could be several others.

[BlackIceJoe]

I hope it is a new Colony Wars, Drakan, G-Police or Rollcage game. Sony needs to start making new games out of all the Psygnosis game IPs they own. So I hope Sony will start using them again.

[Cajun Chicken]

Oh yeah, Rollcage HD. I'd love that, but that's more Studio Liverpool's bag.

[Relientk77]

I want a new Medievil and a new Syphon Filter

[Cajun Chicken]

OH YES!

[DigitalRaptor]

Just noticed, no one has thought of WipEout?

The have contributed to the series in the past and it's definitely a multi-million selling franchise!
