Rumour: New Team ICO game won’t be shown at TGS08, new Halo game a cert
We’ve now been told this three times in the past 24 hours: Sony will not show the new Team ICO game at Tokyo Game Show this week.
Our sources are solid, ladies and gentlebeans, so put your faith in this one.
Do keep your eye on the Microsoft keynote, though: that Halo Bungie “rumour” is getting firmer by the second.
Don’t say we didn’t warn you.

100% on this, unless there’s been a great disturbance in the force.

Bugger. Sony are supposed to have something like 14 games to unveil though, so hopefully there will be something quite special in there, but still, the lack of team ICO’s new title is hardly welcome.

There’s no way they’re that stupid. I’m going for your source being wrong on this one.

If this is true, unless Konami shows Zone of the Enders 3 and is exclusive to the PS3…
Sony = Fail.

Team Ico are definitely working on something (I think it’s actually 2 or 3 games), I wish they’d show something already. I swear, when I see their games I will need to change my pants afterwards.

Can you confirm if it was a Sony exec or not?

I believe this. I’d guess that they’re simply not ready to show it. Maybe they think their line up is strong enough without it, and they can save it for a boost at another time.

Their lineup isn’t strong enoguh without, I can promise anyone that.
Nevermind.
Perhaps somethign in 2009. I will admit it, I am still hopeful this is hype defusing or giant NDA’s.

Maybe THEY THINK their lineup is strong enough without it. They’re probably just not ready to show it, no big deal. Whenever it’s ready, I’ll look forward to it.
Although I kind of hope they keep delaying it just so I can LOL at Pud.

It’s surprising how inconsistent Sony is in these matters. They quite happily announce MAG with a wonky pre-rendered ‘this is what it might look like when we’ve actually written it’ video.
But then you have game like this that people are furiously anticipating and they won’t even tell us what it’s called. Or when it might be done. Or what it’s about. Or that it’s actually in development.
#29
Johnny Cullen
08/10/08, 2:35 pm
Well, we do know it’s in Development
#30

Indeed, its already confirmed to be in development, and i guess thats all that really should matter, wether they show it or not, dosnt mean they’ll finish it any faster, and why release a CG target-render when all Sony ever gets is criticism from doing that?
#31

08/10/08, 2:47 pm
I wasn’t suggesting that – I was giving an example of a ‘bad’ reveal of something that wasn’t ready. What I’m saying is, would it kill them to drop a logo and a couple of screenies? For the fans, like?

Didnt we get a pic of some round hole thing with a chain at one point? lol
#33

08/10/08, 2:54 pm
Yarp, we got a pic of a big massive chain going down a well.
I think if it’s not gonna be revealed at TGS, it will most likely be revealed in next months EGM.
They have this super massive reveal in their next issue stating the announcement is bigger then Manhattan with a pic of a field of flowers with a Sundial.

Now, look at where that sundial is pointing at (in the scan), it’s pointing at 3. And that picture is a Team ICO esque screen so thats more then likely to be it should it not be at TGS.

I’d love that to be true, but I can’t imagine a Western mag getting the scoop on it.
#35

Neither can I, especially EGM somewhat.
Famitsu or OPM UK if they were going for the Western publications tbh.

EGM’s november issue dosnt have a R2, or GeoW2 review? By december they’ll be abit late… But anywho, very insteresting, the rumour parts got some gold in to, Kojima FPS?! 3rd party LBP DLC?!

The KOTOR MMO announcement is October 21st. Could be that. Although I’ve no idea what sundials have to do with Star Wars.

08/10/08, 3:36 pm
TBH, I dont think it’s KOTOR tbh.
Team ICO or something to do with Final Fantasy VII.

Disney DLC was cofnirmed at one of the LBP showings.
So that’s pretty cool.
But yes, I know Sony have a TGS lineup that is good enough with what they have to announce but Team ICO man!!!
Either way, I hope it’s revealed before this year is done!

MS pulled Halo from thier E3 lineup, so at this point I’ll believe anything is possibly not happening. How ever strange it may seem.

And a Korean Gamign site just leaked a Sony lineup list.
Guess what’s on there.
Still not 100% but there’s now a counter rumour.
