WOOT, Team ICO game revealed! I can finally put it in the Most Wanted!

But Fall 2010? Where did they get that number from? How often does SCEJ announce a game one and a half years before release? They announced Demon's Souls in November 2008, released it in Japan in February 2009. Three months. I don't think we should give up on 2009 just yet, but we'll see at E3/GDC.

I'm almost certain it will make it to Japan in 2009, but hopefully it can come to the West, too.

If the game isn't ready for release before October this year, then I hope it doesn't come until Summer 2010 at the earliest.

A game like ICO/Shadow of the Colossus would get overlooked in Japan if it was released between Oct '09 and Mar '10 due to the fact that Final Fantasy XIII and Gran Turismo 5 are both getting released during this period.

Besides, Sony could use some heavy hitters for the second half of 2010 Resistance 3, MotorStorm 2, and Final Fantasy Versus XIII won't be able to hold the year by themselves.

 

The Japanese don't overlook anything, they'll buy all three of those games. Could give them the boost they need to maybe have a chance of possibly outselling the Wii for the holiday season. Coupled with a price cut.

As for the second half of 2010, we don't know much about 2010 titles yet. Quantum Theory will probably land there, the next Jak game, perhaps a Sly Cooper, more will be announced.
