BBC Mystery Game

[Jibbish]

The BBC reporter who wrote about the "mystery game" that left him speechless has confirmed that the game was not revealed in Sony's E3 press conference. Could someone in UK get him drunk and make him spill the beans on this game?

For those who don't know what I am talking about, this is what the BBC reporter wrote about this game a few months back.

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.

He has written again about this game in his latest blog.

So, sat in the audience in the Shrine Auditorium in Los Angeles at the Sony briefing I was really looking forward to seeing everyone's reaction to the game. As the briefing wore on I was beginning to wonder if it would ever appear.

But then Sony executive Jack Tretton said:

"We have one final thing to show you." And I thought: This is it. This is the big reveal; finally I can be unburdened with this secret. And on the big screen MAG appeared - the massively multiplayer online FPS game. As it turned out: this was one of the games I had been shown some months before but under strict instruction I was not to write about it. But this was not the game I was referring to. It still hasn't been shown publicly. And so I still can't talk about it. Or even tell you what it's called. In fact when I referred to it in passing and without detail in front of a BBC colleague this week, the Sony PR man drew a sharp intake of breath and shot me a withering look. Some of you might be thinking the game is pure vapourware. But I promise you it's real.

So we can rule out God of War 3 and Massive Action Game. And it's not any game which we know is in development, which rules out Heavy Rain, Final Fantasy XIII, LA Noire etc. So what could this game be, and when is it going to be revealed? Could Sony have put off the announcement of this game when they found out Bungie's new game was not announced at E3?
