Exclusive Rockstar Game in Development for PS3

Rockstar and Sony are up to their old exclusivity tricks with a brand new game franchise just for the PS3.

On the latest episode of Spike TV's GameHead, Sony teased a brand new PS3 exclusive franchise that Rockstar Games is doing. Michael Shorrock, Sony's director of 3rd Party relations, talked more about the game on Sony's official blog July 27.

Actually, he didn't blog about the game as much as the relationship between Rockstar and Sony. With Grand Theft Auto IV going cross platform, many have speculated that the two companies aren't as tight as they used to be. Not so, Shorrock says.

"We have had incredible success with the GTA franchise and are happy to continue to offer those titles on our platforms, and even more excited about what’s to come from the current and future relationship between our companies. 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."

Shorrock said Sony promised Rockstar they wouldn't reveal too many details about the new game yet. He did make sure to mention it is not the previously seen 50's detective-movie themed game L.A. Noire, but an all new, as yet unseen franchise.
