Secret Sony game is not MAG

When Darren Waters, BBC Blogger, spoke about a secret game Sony had shown him. Darren wasn’t allowed to speak about this game at all. Darren thought this game would be shown at E3 2008 and you know what, it wasn’t.

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.

Darren attended E3 and was waiting for the crowds reaction to this game, and when Jack Tretton said: “We have one final thing to show you” he thought he was going to show this secret game but it was Massive Action Game (MAG) instead.

But then Sony executive Jack Tretton said: “We have one final thing to show you.”

And I thought: This is it. This is the big reveal; finally I can be unburdened with this secret.

And on the big screen MAG appeared - the massively multiplayer online FPS game.

As it turned out: this was one of the games I had been shown some months before but under strict instruction I was not to write about it.

But this was not the game I was referring to. It still hasn’t been shown publicly.

So what could this secret game be? There’s 90% chance it could be shown at Tokyo Game Show.
