Wow...this has me really, really excited:

1. Motorstorm isn't in the desert! Lush Island environment!

2. Resistance 2 is looking good.  Much better than Fall of Man did.

3. Ultra-awesome super secret exclusive to blow our minds away! Yay, yay!

Here's part of the article:

PlayStation bounces back

In term of what's to come for the PS3 I was given a sneak peek at titles in the works in London two weeks ago.

Unsurprisingly, sequels for the platform's biggest launch titles are in the works. Cynics will say that studios are merely fixing problems in the original versions, the result perhaps of having to rush the titles out in time for launch.

Here's what I was shown:

Motorstorm 2 is due out in time for Christmas and moves the action away from the desert locale of the original. Gamers will be able to race around a lush island environment, full of interactive vegetation.

The game will feature four-player split-screen action, righting one of the obvious failings of the first game.

The title is some months away from completion but the game's engine looked rock solid and the graphics were as impressive as one would expect from one of the best-looking racing franchises.

Resistance Fall of Man was a bit of a disappointment when it was released. The game promised much but suffered from a lack of originality and flat game design. The world the designers had created was interesting but playing in it felt dull.
So what will Resistance 2 offer? I was shown only a trailer but it's clear developers Insomniac want to make a statement. Online the game will host 60 players simultaneously.
It screams epic and tellingly it concludes with the line: "You haven't seen what we are truly capable of."

So what else was I shown? Well, 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.

And there I'll leave it. Feel free to speculate on what I was shown. I cannot, of course, confirm or deny what it was....

Lair?

Sounds good, he could have told us what genre it was though, then again maybe not.

 Uh, I don't get it (trolling?)....Lair was overhyped yes, but there was nothing secret about it.  They started blabbing about Lair the minute they had anything to show.

 Sounds like Sony is playing it smart with this one and waiting to announce anything until the game is FAR along and they know how it turns out.

At first I was thinking of Ninja Theory's next title, being in the UK and all, but when I saw the bit at the end, I immediately thought of Team ICO. Just look at what they did on the ps2 with Shadow of the Colossus.

yeah this gets me pumped, but who knows if the game is actual game play footage or rendered...it will be fun to learn what this is

Sweeeeet, Motorstorm 2 is gunna be sick

I'm not that psyched for Resistance 2, and I'm not sure why. I loved the first one but I'm not that excited for two.

As for the "super secret mind blowing game" I guess it could possibly be awesome, but it reminds me of the rumors that were going around about a super secret 360 game that was going to blow MGS4 out of the water. I feel the same way about this new rumor as I felt about that rumor, I'll believe it when I see it.

 Ever since the KZ2 fiasco, Sony has started only showing real-time footage, and usually gameplay.  I guess they learned their lesson. :P

Good for motorstorm and resistance. I dont believe the super secret exclusive mumbo jumbo but its probly heavy rain if they are talking about graphics. Cant wait til E3.
