According to sources, Sony has something big ready to be revealed at E3 this year in regards to the Sony PS3.
Sources state that Sony has something huge to announce at E3 this year, which could give the PS3 a boost heading into the holidays against the Xbox 360 and Nintendo Wii.
Signs are pointing toward an announcement relating to Killzone 2, God of War 3, and/or PlayStation Home.
Sony is expected to make the big announcement during their E3 press conference.
Many are expecting Killzone 2 to be released in 2009, with PlayStation Home still with an unknown release date.
An announcement in regards to either title, and possibly a public beta test, are also rumored.
Sony have released some new screenshots, where we can see virtual PSP, which will be used for interface, like mobile phone in GTA 4.

Sony: Resistance 2 to go “toe-to-toe” with Gears 2
Posted on 2008 under PS3, some stuff | 2 Comments25 Feb
Scott Steinberg, Vice President of Product Marketing for Sony Computer Entertainment America (SCEA), has said that he expects Insomniacs forthcoming Resistance 2 to go “toe-to-toe against Gears of War 2 when both games launch later this year.
Speaking to Gamesindustry.biz, Steinberg commented, I think one of the biggest games for us will be Resistance 2. We expect that, in November, to go toe-to-toe against Gears of War 2.
“It will be our third-generation PS3 product. Insomniac, having shipped Resistance 1, quietly sold a million units. And then Ratchet & Clank last fall. This is the third on their technology shipping in November.”
He also offered insight into Sonys relatively low profile at the Game Developers Conference last week, adding, It just felt stronger coming from so many different high-calibre partners as opposed to self-congratulatory announcements from ourselves that the war is over and the standards battle is complete, and we have a standard and it is us.
“It just felt like a keynote would be a little bit over the top, he said.
A reporter for the BBC attending the Game Developers Conference last week has revealed some interesting tidbits on a number of upcoming projects for Sonys PlayStation 3 console.
Among the more notable elements of his report include details on Evolution Studios forthcoming racing sequel, MotorStorm 2, which he claims is scheduled to hit shops in time for the 2008 Christmas holiday season.
The high-speed off-road romp will take players across a variety of new environments, including those set on tropical islands full of interactive vegetation. A four-player split screen mode has also been confirmed.
However, perhaps the most intriguing aspect of the report comes in the form of a nameless title due for release on PS3 in 2009; though sworn to secrecy under a Non Disclosure Act, the blogger notes that the mysterious title looked so impressive, he feels that Sony could be on the verge of making the next step in what games consoles are capable of in terms of story-telling and immersion.
Those of you who feel obliged to speculate as to the identity of this title should feel free to do so in our comment section below.
Sony working on a super secret PS3 game and its absolutely amazing
Posted on 2008 under PS3, some stuff | 2 Comments25 Feb
Darren Waters of the BBC was treated to a special look at a game due out for the PS3 in 2009 but he has been sworn to secrecy. Sony wanted to give him a glimpse of what the console will be capable of and he saw a trailer for this new title which is due out in 2009. Waters claims that the footage he was shown was in-game according to PR reps and that it left him absolutely speechless and is set to shake up what consoles are capable of.
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….
Phil Harrison is today announcing plans to leave Sony.

Phil Harrison, president of Sony Computer Entertainment worldwide studios, will resign from Sony Computer Entertainment Group as of February 29, 2008, the company has announced.Kazuo Hirai, president and group CEO of Sony Computer Entertainment, will immediately assume responsibilities as president of SCE worldwide studios, in addition to his current duties.
Harrison joined Sony Electronics Publishing (later Sony Computer Entertainment Europe) in 1992 prior to the launch of the original PlayStation, and has since played a key strategic role in the launch of four PlayStation platforms, as well as building strong relationships with game developers and publishers globally. Harrison led SCEs first party game development operations and aggressively pursued the development of new online entertainment experiences.
As one of the founding members of SCE, Phil played a key role in the development and growth of the PlayStation business and our industry, said Hirai. It is sad to see him departing from SCE, but I wish to express my gratitude for his many invaluable contributions and also wish Phil the very best of luck in his future endeavors.
The past 15 years at Sony Computer Entertainment has been the defining journey of my life so far, said Harrison. I am grateful to all the PlayStation family for their incredible support, guidance and friendship. It has been a privilege to serve as part of the team and be inspired by them on a daily basis. I am so proud of everything PlayStation has achieved and will continue to support its future in every way I can.
Today, Sony presented free game developing engine, to create PS3 games on PC. Sony will support developers who will use their PhyreEngine, which also works with standart tools: Maya & Max exploters, COLLADA compatible, Bullet, Havok, Ageia Physics.
For example, there are some games powered by PhyreEngine - flOw, DiRT, and GripShift.
Coast of developing will be less than 1200$, if Sony didn’t lied about it.
