here's a little tifbit or rumour or info of someone who said has seen the game :

In term of what's to come for the PS3 I was given a sneak peek at titles in the works in London two weeks ago. Unsurprisingly, sequels for the platform's biggest launch titles are in the works. Cynics will say that studios are merely fixing problems in the original versions, the result perhaps of having to rush the titles out in time for launch.

Here's what I was shown:

Motorstorm 2 is due out in time for Christmas and moves the action away from the desert locale of the original. Gamers will be able to race around a lush island environment, full of interactive vegetation. The game will feature four-player split-screen action, righting one of the obvious failings of the first game.

The title is some months away from completion but the game's engine looked rock solid and the graphics were as impressive as one would expect from one of the best-looking racing franchises. Resistance Fall of Man was a bit of a disappointment when it was released. The game promised much but suffered from a lack of originality and flat game design. The world the designers had created was interesting but playing in it felt dull. So what will Resistance 2 offer? I was shown only a trailer but it's clear developers Insomniac want to make a statement. Online the game will host 60 players simultaneously. It screams epic and tellingly it concludes with the line: "You haven't seen what we are truly 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.

Sounds amazing!!!

MotorStorm 1 already looked amazing, so the sequel will be a truly spectacular.

This secret 09 title seems very intriguing. If it looks better than KZ2 then the their will be officially no contest between the PS3 and 360.

I hope it's a new IP, since we already know GoW3 will be amazing.

Well the guy's definitely a liar because he said Resistance was a disappointment with "flat game design" :-p

In all seriousness, if this guy is indeed telling the truth, I think the secret 2009 title is Team Ico's next game. Of course this is just hypothetically going with what this poster said, but if he mentioned God of War III to Phil Harrison I don't think he would have had any trouble admitting that the title existed, but if it were some original title in the vein of "Ico" or "Shadow of the Colossus", and the next name was "Wanda and the Chain Gang" or something, it's a distinct name to drop and that's something that would make Phil iffy about discussing. Maybe I'm reading too much into this considering it may not even be true :-p

PS. I own the copyrights to "Wanda and the Chain Gang" as of right now.

It turns out that this "someone" is actually BBC dot.life blogger Darren Waters (http://www.next-gen.biz/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=9297&Itemid=9). I guess he deserves some credibility.

his comments on storytelling and immersion have me believing the secret game is Heavy Rain. anyways, i hate getting hyped up for something we wont see for another year. still, motorstorm 2 and resistance 2 are going to be quality titles no doubt.

Well he taked about " sequels "
and a story telling amazing title.

I bet on The Getaway probably or maybe Syphon Filter.

The new Ico game?

Been suggested above, but why would they deny the existence of it when a screenshot is already out on the street and everyone "knows" Team Ico is coming out with something. Also, this was a "peek at titles in the works in London" - Ico is a Japanese studio, no?

I'm guessing a new IP. Which makes me more happy, too.

Could be the first of many Cellius game. Remember the aim of Cellius is to make games that provide an intereactive, immersive, and cinamatic experience.

Back to Motorstorm 2 I really hope that this sequel will not stick in desertic environments.
I would love to see snowing enviros, moutains, hills maybe a forest with dozen of trees to crash on. Hope they will reveal the game next month or before E3.

Well, the guy said that it will take place in the tropics (though it could just be conjecture).
