New Official PlayStation webpage is intriguing

Posted on April 15th, 2008 at 15:45 EDT

A new webpage found on the Official Japanese PlayStation site features an intriguing countdown that most people will only assume to lead to the public release of Home.  The countdown is ticking away at what appears to be a new game release as the url indicates with "/title/."  Though this will obviously lead to a ton of speculation and guessing, we can only applaud Sony for the viral hype this will surely commence.

Without much else known about this timer, we can only leave it up to you guys, the readers, to take guesses at what it could potentially bring.  Let us know down below what your predictions are and when the timer strikes zero, we'll keep you updated.

Wholy cursing! not only did I hear the FBOMB dropped a few times I also heard some shats. So I think anyone trying to say its for home is full of it. I would say its for a horror game but I don't know of any horror games coming out in 58 days or so.....strange.

^ It's 58 hours dude.  And I would say some type of horror thing-a-ma-jig.  Upon further review I would say it is the countdown to apocalypse.  Fire and brimstone, real old testament wrath of God type shiz!!!

I would put my money on some special Japanese beta for MGS or something like that but I'm not a betting man. But well definately not Home because... I mean look at the blood red theme, also if you listen to the stuff they are saying you can hear english swearing... Well thats what it sounds like...

Yep, Gekidami is right... Looks like Forbidden Siren 3 is about to be revealed. Can't wait. :)

Yea, whatever it is the audio in the countdown is strange, I can't imagine it being home some kindof horror game or something to that extent is what I guess?

Could it be an update for the much loved Atari 2600 classic "ET"?? 

The greatest game I could never figure out for the life of me.

It must be next Forbidden Siren game. Can't be anything else. I'm looking forward to seeing it, eventhough I probably wont play it. I'm such a wuss.

READDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDD!!!!!!!!!!!!!! am i the only person here thinking this is heavy rain?? not the release date for the game but the countdown to solid info of the game?

Yeah, FS3 makes sense........ probably........who knows?! lol

I think it's a countdown for Metal Gear Solid 4,

56 days = 8 weeks.

Todays date is 15th April and MGS Release date is 12th June.

Not sure if it's exactly 56 days but the coundown certainly reminds me of Snake.

Yeah Heavy Rain was the first game that came to mind. Maybe a trailer or sumthing..

IT IS 58 HOURS PPL, not 58 days. the clock is in hours, min, sec.   not days, hr,min,sec. until they say home, hime is not coming.

i do hope that the countdown is HOME and it does sound like a horror game but maybe they just want to throw you off making you think its something else

Are you kidding? This IS NOT for home. Countdown for new game unveiling > home announcement.

psn id: gingo...... will either be for Home news or a game news it wont be the release of anything

Interesting there is english being spoken in the background of the Japan website but I would have to say seems like some kind of horror game from the bits and pieces I could make out.

It's the countdown for the release of PlayStation Vista, all the fun of the regular PlayStation 3, with tons of unnecessary processor overhead and always-on support for legacy devices.

posted 8:08pm EDT - April 15th, 2008

It has sound... Sounds like a horror game to me.

I have a feeling it is a count down for something to do with Heavy Rain.

are u sure it isnt just the japanese hunte for paystaion treasure end?

Wait, what?  I don't see how anyone can even think that this is related to Home at all.  If you listen to the audio, it should be very clear that this has nothing to do with Home.  My best guess, along with the guess of many others, is that this is a countdown to Forbidden Siren 3.  There are many things that point towards this, such as the audio and the actual countdown, which is very similar to a countdown seen in a Forbidden Siren 1 video.

what ever it is, it dont look like its hittin the US anytime soon, its probably only for japan

There is no way this can be anything other than some sort of horror game.  48 hours and counting...

Two things are sure, first is we will all see it on the seventh, and secondly is the faint noise of several people talking in the background, on a Japanese web-site, speaking ENGLISH!!! I have only to know that if the name SONY is responsible, then its HUGE!!! See you there PS3 fans.

Anyone who has played the Forbidden Siren games will have instantly recognised the blood red water. I'm with Gekidami on this one. Its probably the official first showing of Forbidden Siren 3.

Also for those thinking its Heavy Rain sorry to dissapoint you but any announcements about Quantic Dreams game will not come from SCEJ but will come from SCEE as its a SCEE managed game as it was them who signed it up. Besides hasn't David Cage said something would been shown at this years E3 for Heavy Rain?
