Rockstar is working on a new franchise that it will bring exclusively to the PS3.
On the official PlayStation blog, Sony Computer Entertainment America's head of third party relations, Michael Shorrock, writes, "We’ve agreed to the PlayStation exclusive rights of the next great franchise from the Rockstar studios."
The deal was also mentioned on Spike TV's GameHead programme, but details were scant from either source. Shorrock is more interested in telling us what a great relationship Sony and Rockstar have. He crowed:
The news comes as a boon to Sony, which has lost the exclusivity of Grand Theft Auto and has even seen Rockstar admit that the 360 will have the "full" GTA IV experience. (If you want a taster of just what that experience will be, see SPOnG's GTA IV preview).
Shorrock did tell us what the new game is not, saying, "this franchise is not LA Noire, but something all new."
Keep you eyes on SPOnG for more details as they're announced.

"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."

If u think about it other than GTA Rockstar havent really made many good games?. I wouldnt be over excited by this until i've seen something. But i suppose the way Rockstar have seemed to side with the 360 on the latest GTA, it's really put the PS faithful's nose out, i guess they gotta through them a bone.

Rockstars PS3 Exclusive is manhunt But is to be change to a sex simulator for PS3 Exclusive, controls work by placing a SIxaxis infront of ones penis and thrusting back and forward in time with the onscreen graphical prompts, for the ladies an expantion to the Sixaxis is being developed with twin rabbit ears which affixes to the top of the Controller and is called Sexaxis.

"We feel that the problem with the manhunt ban was down to undersexed frustrated nobodys wanting recognition for doing something completly stupid, so we developed this game for them. You play a woman who works for the BBFC, but unknown to here employers is a nyphomaniac and her mission is to work her way through the men at the BBFC to find a man who can please her `hence the name "Manhunt" being Kept`, currently we are deciding wether the ending should be someone from the BBFC, but we are leaning more towards a normal adult characture who can make his own decisions"
Sony commented
"we have made some really bad f**king decisions over the past few months but this one is going to get gamers to buy a PS3"
Rockstars Manhunt is due for release sometime in the future, Elspa are readying there certification as Fun For All, BBFC have stated that a classification of 118+ will be present,
"we believe that people can make a better informed decision once they have reached the age of 118 and we are here to control errr i mean protect the interests of all people in the uk"
Look out for MANHUNT soon
