October 5: The Big PlayStation Announcement

Sony really has gotten our curiosity piqued when they launched a teaser trailer recently.

This video (which can be found below) shows so many anachronisms. It shows WWII fighters entering a castle, but inside it is a tavern. Then we see modern and future looking weapons (like Ratchet’s Omni-wrench, FFXIII Lightning’s Sword, Resistance LAARK). We also see the Latin phrase “Vivat Ludus Long” which means “Long Live Play”, the PS motto. The Sweet Tooth ice cream truck hangs outside the castle, the Resistance song blares in the background. We see a PS logo, PaRappa the Rapper, the LittleBigPlanet bubble used as money, and then a date: October 5, 2011.

So what the heck are they talking about?

Okay, there are three possible options for what they are going to announce.

1) I was thinking that perhaps this is a Super Smash Bros. type of game. Maybe they are taking all of the best characters from the  most popular game and making social games with all of them. This would make sense….I guess.

2) PS Vita official release date in US. Maybe.

3) PlayStation 4. Highly unlikely…but. Who knows.

I’m dying of curiosity. What do you think this means?
