This one’s quite nebulous. NeoGAF users have noticed that Quantic Dream co-CEO Guillaume de Fondaumière is in New York, just in time for the PlayStation Meeting on February 20, when the PlayStation 4 is expected to debut. They also picked up that the developer’s Kara tech demo has been re-uploaded on an official PlayStation YouTube, suggesting Sony is preparing to hype Quantic Dream a bit. The developer is known to have more projects on the go besides the upcoming PS3 release Beyond: Two Souls, and registered a PS4-related domain for something called Singularity, so speculators point to the possibility of a PS4 launch title from the Heavy Rain studio.

Thanks, GameInformer.

LittleBigPlanet developer Media Molecule has a page labelled “?” in the Games section of its website, which quite charmingly plays Toyah’s Mystery when accessed. Although as GamingEverything points out the tease has been there for some time, I wonder if there’s any reason to suspect we might see a new game announce from the Sony-owned developer soon? “But Brenna,” I hear you say, “Media Molecule is hard at work on Vita title Tearaway.” Indeed it is, but Tearaway has its own, separate section on the site; the mystery only deepens.

Thanks, Dark.
