In June 2007, director of third party relations at Sony Computer Entertainment America (SCEA) Michael Shorrock revealed on the Official PlayStation Blog that Sony and Rockstar had come to an agreement on developing a new PS3 exclusive.

"As part of our long standing relationship with Rockstar, and the incredible success for both companies with the cultural icon that is Grand Theft Auto, we've agreed to the PlayStation exclusive rights of the next great franchise from the Rockstar studios," Shorrock wrote.

"Rockstar really wanted to make a game that you can truly only do on PS3, harnessing the power of CELL and Blu-ray disc and this deal lets them do just that...This is really a win-win situation for both companies."

President and CEO of SCEA Jack Tretton further discussed the new agreement with Rockstar on Spike TV's Game Head show with Geoff Keighley, confirming that the unnamed project was not L.A. Noire and that Sony was able to release Take-Two from GTA IV exclusivity in exchange for acquiring the rights to the publisher’s next franchise.

"What we're really excited about is the next great franchise from Take-Two and in exchange for letting them out of that exclusive (Grand Theft Auto IV), we've got the rights to the next great franchise from Take-Two."

I would be bloody annoyed if they had stopped working. Last year Tretton said he knew nothing new, and was quite disappointed, but hopefully it is the bombshell at this year's E3

I'm not sure what has happened to it, but if it isn't a multiplat game by now, then it will probably be revealed at E3 or it is dead.

As if, Rock* best audience (for its type of games) is the western hardcore front, ala 360

..... this makes no sense.... Do you even know what type of game they're making???
Also, you seem to not understand the word "DEAL"...


OT: If we don't hear about it by the end of the year.... it's dead.

Deal? I can't see Sony throwing around cash tbh.

 

and whatever game it is, it will apeal to the 360 to as the userbase tastes are essentially the same, except the 360 has a massive lead in the west, and I doubt the game is ment for the east ....
