After the shocking announcment of Sonynet made a few weeks back, the first game to use the technology has been announced.
Battleship 2001 will be a real time battleship game, and will feature 20 million polygons a second.
Taking full use of the "emotion engine", Battleship will be a two player game, allowing two different people to play the same game in a different room.
"I expect many people are thinking, this is just another clone of Battleship, so what can we expect to make YOUR battleship different?" Sony were asked.
The Sony representative replied: "The 20 million polygons a second, *cough* will enable us to make realistic models of the boats, and make hundreds of crew members to fill the boats."
"But battleship is one of the oldest games there is? Surely the game would be no different gameplay wise?"
"As we said, the game will run at 20 million polygons a second, *cough*, and therefore will improve the game dramatically."
Sony then went on to release the first ever screenshot of Battleship, which you can exclusively see at this web site.

We will keep you updated on new news, throughout the night.
Reports are coming in of the USS Entrepid going down off the coast of Guatemala in calm seas. These coincide with Sony announcing that the Beta test of Battleship 2001 being completed successfully. Is there a link?
Reports are coming in that ants have been terminated after a virus scare.
Now THAT'S advertising!
Sony stylee I think they call it in Jamaica.
NEWS JUST IN!! (Or, try and beat this, Ant.)
The screenshot was a fake! Sony were under critism this evening after it was found out that Sony had just taken a picture out of Corel Draw 2.0.
Sega had this to say: "Bra ha ha ha ha ha!"
Sony replyed with, "Obviously Corel Draw had planted the picture into their program, to try and fool the public into thinking we could cheat them. We NEVER lie to the public about our games, or our hardware."
Then Sony were asked: "But Corel Draw 2.0 was released seven years ago!"
Sony: "Again, they had invented a time machine to try to ruin us, us hard working people."
Eventually a real screenshot was pulled out of Sony. You can see it here:

When asked about the "jaggies" in the screenshot, Sony replied:
"That is our emotion engine at work, the rough edges to the boats are the sharpnesses of the crew members, and the rough water represents the rough seas, which the poor crew must navigate."
More news as we get it, but, bye bye for now.

Latest news
Sony announce that due to a legal dispute with The Royal Navy, who own the rights to Battleship and the colour Grey, their new game will have a different name. BS, it was considered, could change its name to something starting with SB, such as SadBlatt, but in hindsight this was not close enough to spur instant recognition of the game.
Fate intervened in the form of a mishspelling in a Sony Computer Entertainment news release where the last letter of the word Battleship was changed to a "t".
A spokesperson said "As the Royal Navy are the rightful owners of Battleship Grey we have agreed to change the game to Battleshit Brown. The new name reflects our image as a market leader in the field of innovative Advertising and Public Relations and we have recruited a distorted, starved and half-naked prisoner of war to promote the game under the heading Sony Bony. This was all our idea and we did not copy it from a film which we hope everybody has forgotten"
