Rockstar's mysterious PS3-exclusive game may only fit on a Blu-ray disc

Will Rockstar's next game be so massive it only fits on a Blu-ray disc?

While Rockstar Games was unwilling to go Sony-only for the next version of Grand Theft Auto, the company is apparently working on its "next great franchise," and it will be a PS3-exclusive. No details were offered on just what that franchise might be--or when it will be released--but according to Gamespot UK, it won't be LA Noire.

In explaining why Sony locked up the game, the article quotes SCEA's director of third-party relations, Michael Shorrock, who wrote on the official US PlayStation blog: "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."

That's exciting news for PS3 fans. Of course, if the game is as great as Rockstar says it is, we might not see it until 2009 or 2010. By then, any AAA PS3 game will be so massive in scope that it won't fit on a DVD, only a Blu-ray disc. Maybe that's why Shorrock was saying that the mysterious franchise would only be playable on a PS3.

Talking points much?

Two things,

A) That registration system is abysmal.

B) "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." Hmm, Sony, talking points much? I'm sure that while Rockstar will be taking advantage of the PS3's power, the real driver behind the wheel is the dollar sign. Sony needs a hit bad, (insert favorite drug "hit" reference joke here) and they know Rockstar is the company to deliver.
