E3 2010 is already shaping up to be a big event
for Playstation 3 gamers with Gran Turismo 5, LittleBigPlanet 2, Move and SOCOM 4 all expected to be shown. Even so, they won’t be satisfied unless new exclusives games are announced during the event. Here are a few heavily-rumored but not yet announced games that may appear at E3 2010.
Killzone 3In a
recent interview with Geoff Keighley on GameTrailers TV, Sony’s Jack Tretton promised that there will be a sequel to the 2008 critically-acclaimed first-person shooter, Killzone 2. Rumors also suggest that it will be released in early 2011 to go head on against Gears of
War 3 on the Xbox 360. Since it likely won’t be at E3 next year, this year’s event seems like the perfect opportunity to officially announced Killzone 3 on the Playstation 3.
inFamous 2Sony all but confirmed inFamous 2 when they
registered a website domain
for it. The sequel also got leaked by a voice actor auditioning
for a re-cast of the main character from the first game. Since the original inFamous was released in May of 2009, it is unlikely that the second title will be released this year. Even so, Sony could still tease inFamous 2 at this year’s E3.
Resistance 3Another popular first-person shooting franchise on the Playstation 3 is Resistance. A billboard ad
leaked the game’s existence in October of last year. Not to mention that the developer, Insomniac Games, is incredibly efficient at churning one quality game after another annually. Even if Resistance 3 won’t be released this year, the chances are extremely high that it will show up at E3 2010 in some form.
Starhawk After the release of Warhawk in 2007, Dylan Jobe and other members from the development team left to form LightBox Interactive in early 2009 where they were rumored to be working on a follow-up to their hit multiplayer title. About a month later, Sony trademarked Starhawk. Furthermore, Dylan Jobe also
mentioned on Twitter that his next project is “coming into place.” These signs point to a possible E3 reveal.
Twisted Metal PS3Speculations about a Twisted Metal game on the Playstation 3 started with a hidden message from Twisted Metal Head-On: Extra Twisted Edition that read “Twisted Metal is on PSTHREE.” Since then, David Jaffe has danced around the subject. He also
recently stated that he and his game won’t be going to E3 this year. Despite all that, his studio at Eat Sleep Play is currently making good progress with their Playstation 3 project. Since being founded in July of 2007, they haven’t developed a game outside of a Playstation 2 port. So there may still be a slight chance that Twisted Metal PS3 (or another project David Jaffe’s been working on) may still show up at E3 2010.
