After the surprise hit of Demon Soul, From Software could be one of the strong contender too..

But it still doesnt sound right. Its wrong for Sony as they r loosing money and its wrong for developer because Sony is no more a dominant force rather they r deadlast.. so they r restricting themselves.

But If sony really do it then it will be awesome.

Also, From Software are putting their 2 of the Tenchu games, 3 Armored Cores and another port of a PS2 game on the PSP over the next year or so. I could imagine From Software going to be 2nd party.

we might have a Winner

From Software is hardly a 'feather' in sony's cap, with a few notable exception, the company's game are generally mediocre and not very successful commercially. If it wasn't for the blogger mentioning 'RPG' I would have said that Tecmo-Koei fit the bill more nicely. They're relatively big, have some great franchises that seems to sell the most on Sony Platform (the Dynasty Series anyways) and scoring them would be a nice coup (though still not ground breakin)

I call bullshit until we have more credible sources.
