Two new PS3 titles revealed

The latest issue of PlayStation Magazine has revealed the likes of two new "unannounced" PlayStation 3 games, Damnation and Recoil: Retrograde.

Damnation is an action title currently being developed by Blue Omega and will be published by Codemasters. The levels within the game are very large and can take up to three hours to complete, but there is no need to worry about getting tired of playing mid-level as there are ways to make you move faster such as the use of vehicles.

It is also noted that the main hero possesses something called, "spirit vision," which will allow you to see the will of your enemies to help aid you in coming up with a combat plan, similar to the Eagle Vision in Assassin's Creed. As it stands right now, we don't know much about the actual scenario of the game except that you play as a character named Captain Hamilton Rourke, whose aim is to avenge the killing of his squad.

Recoil: Retrograde is also an action game, but differs by being a third person shooter and was created by a writer from the Hitman series. You take control of a guy named David Artman who travels back in time to change history.

The game itself is being developed using the popular Unreal Engine 3 and takes place in a single city, but in different times.

    Levels shouldn't be massive !! More like there should be a ton of short ones so people can play the game in quick bursts !!

    People are just assuming they are because there was no mention of the 36* but look at them. One is being distributed by codemasters and the other is using the unreal engine, they're most definately multiplatform.... and geez one of them is another blasted FPS.

    How about expanding your creativity Devs? Let's see sometghing other than shooters. I love shooters, but the market is oversaturated with them.

    This generation is interesting. Any game announced is cause for excitment. People await games this generation like there are no games out.

    The title of the article is misleading. It says two new "PS3" titles, therefore people think these games are PS3 exclusive. Seeing as one of them is being published by Codemasters I highly doubt it will be exclusive. Only when I see a game being published by Sony Computer Entertainment is when I'll get excited for an exclusive. Let's face it, folks. After MGS4 I doubt we'll be getting any exclusives from anyone other than Sony themselves.

    Wow, that's nice to hear. I'm glad that 3rd party developers are making PS3 exclusives and are showing some interest in the PS3. I had thought that 2008 would be one of the last years that we would see 3rd party exclusive games for the PS3. I am a regular reader of the Official Playstation Magazine and I need to pick up a copy of the new issue.

    I used to read the old OPM tho I would not mind long levels as long as there are a lot of them. And it would be cool if there could be a way to switch views like 3rd person 2 FPS

    i dont know about the second game but the frist games sounds like an ps3 only or ps3 and pc game  levels that take 3 hours to finish  i dont think that can  fit on a  dvd9 which  is only 8 gigs  why mus microsoft choice to put  dvd9  in there 360  mess up  the ps3 games  for example  the  new  grand teft auto that only  like 6-7 gigs  just imagine if they  used  all   whay  blu ray  had   to offer   sony   buy  rockstar games   the  is the ps3  year not  350  they had  theres  with  halo last  year  and  just  cause  gow 2  comes out  this  year for  360  that just means more red  ring  of  death  for  those  360  owners

    According to Hyrius up there THEY ARE NOT EXCLUSIVE. Why does PSU report them that way. Please say all the systems new games are announced for so the confusion is avoided
