Sony’s E3 Plans Leaking?

There have always been rumours in the run up to E3. It’s getting increasingly difficult for the publishers and platform holders to keep their secrets and, with one or two notable exceptions, we’re not really surprised by most of what’s announced.

We’re still two months away from the big show in Los Angeles but, if a forum poster on Gamekult is to be believed, many of Sony’s plans for the coming summer are starting to leak.

The rumours include playable versions of The Last Guardian, Twisted Metal, Resistance 3 and Uncharted 3 which seems plausible given that all of those are expected before the end of the year. We’re also led to believe that Warhawk 2 will be announced before the Californian show, which ties in with other rumours we’ve heard.

Of course, NGP news is sure to be a big focus too. The tipster indicates that there will be an official name and price announced for the next Sony handheld. In addition to this we’re told that there will be seven first party titles announced for launch and that Kojima will be there to support it, probably with Peace Walker. Perhaps the most exciting rumour surrounding the NGP is that the Wipeout engine has been completely ported over and there should be a launch title from that franchise.

Finally, we’re told, rather more vaguely, to expect Polyphony Digital to have news of a pre-2012 release and that there will be at least two PS3 exclusives held back for announcements at a European show (probably Gamescom).

It’s all obviously a rumour and we can’t confirm any of it (Sony almost certainly won’t comment on it) so we have to issue our standard warning to take it all with a pinch of salt. A lot of it does sound believable though and when taken into consideration with other rumours we’ve seen floating around I think we can expect many of these rumours to come to fruition.
