[Spaceman292]

these are all gon be lies

 

[a multicultural team of v]

This is long overdue.

 

[Hollowpoint5557]

Who was pushing all those silent hill rumors that have now gone quiet? Call that shit out.

 

[OceanGaming]

@Shpeshal_Nick and @JezCorden get their rumours from the same sources. They know the same people. That's why that @DEALER_GAMING's "Ikishima" tweet makes sense; he got the news from them.

 

[Men_in_Boxes]

@Shpeshal_Nick and @JezCorden get their rumours from the same sources. They know the same people. That's why that @DEALER_GAMING's "Ikishima" tweet makes sense; he got the news from them.

Correction, Shpeshal Nick just makes plausible, informed, guesses and when another leaker says something, he hops on the bandwagon and says "My sources (my ass) say the same thing."

The idea that anyone has sources at Microsoft, Sony, Nintendo, and a few big name publishers is not realistic.

 

[.Pennywise]

Who was pushing all those silent hill rumors that have now gone quiet? Call that shit out.

Most of old rumors about a new Silent Hill being in active development came from Dusk Golem (a somewhat reliable source on Resident Evil stuff). He moved the goalpost for years until he disappeared.

Present rumors of Silent Hill being in development come from the community twisting stuff around Sony, Kojima and several developers.

None of these are either actual rumors nor come from a known source.

 

[Razvedka]

I'll use this thread to call out all the TAKE IT WITH A GRAIN OF SALT, THINGS MAY CHANGE mf

Please share any actual rumor and I'll add it.
I won't add any rumor from totally unsustained sources (i.e. a random post in 4chan/reddit from unknown accounts)

The irony is that alot of the 4chan rumors tend to be correct. You just have to cast a wide net.

You're being very generous

 

[Zeroing]

Pff weak rumors!


Guerrilla second team is almost finished with the game.
Sony Bend game has gone into production
PixelOpus game is very ambitious comparing with what the team previously released

 

[AV]

You're gonna have a very hard time keeping up with all the shit Grubb claims to have heard.

 

[akaFullmetal]

Glad we're finally holding some receipts to so called insiders.

 

[Draugoth]

Agreed, toilet cubicles can be more chatty than coffee shops

 

[saintjules]

This is long overdue.

Agreed. Perhaps this can be a sticky thread?

[manfestival]

Rumor has it: There is going to be a new game announced in the future.

 

[rofif]

I hate this. Just let things be announced god damn it.
They are ruining it for everyone

Awesome thread if it can be updated on a regular basis.

RUMOR	BY	DATE	TRUE/FALSE	MORE
Some good games are coming out this year	BusierDonkey	Literally just posted it		True but really just partially true because some people don't like any games. It's subjective I guess.

[Elder Legend]

speaking of rumors

can u link to the actual post or?

 

[TVexperto]

>Microsoft to remaster major franchises

"GAME PUBLISHER WILL RELEASE GAME" fucking buillshiit tewet

 

[digoutyoursoul]

>Microsoft to remaster major franchises

"GAME PUBLISHER WILL RELEASE GAME" fucking buillshiit tewet

What would they remaster? They already done that with Gears, Halo and State of Decay. Fallout perhaps?

 

[Elder Legend]

I do smile a lot

I was thinking more along the lines of you being a sleazy college douchebag with a punch-able face <3

 

[Zeroing]

Rumor has it: There is going to be a new game announced in the future.

Yes I can confirm this!
Finally neogaf is the place where rumors start!

We don't need twitter!!!!

 

[Hollowpoint5557]

Another few are the Metroid Prime Trilogy Remaster done and sitting on the shelf.
Wolfenstein 3 extremely far done and ready to show last year @ xbox show.
I'm going to see if i can dig up where they came from again.

 

[Kokoloko85]

Great idea, hopefully we can write off some rumours and their sources

 

[HeisenbergFX4]

Problem with this is no one is going to be 100% thats willing to share it

So whats a good hit rate? 50/50?

You write off everyone who has gotten something wrong at least once you wont be hearing much

We'll see down the line. I wouldn't go retroactively searching on past rumors, as I, unfortunately, have a life.
After some time and some rumors settle down (ending up being true or not), I'll make a list with a % of how reliable these people are.

What rate is good or not, it's up to the people.

Sadly people will find a way to blame you even though your not responsible for the leaks.

VGC and Gematsu.
Gematsu specifically went all in.

Gematsu has also heard that a new Silent Hill is in development at a prominent Japanese developer. That studio is Kojima Productions, according to a publishing source that wishes to remain anonymous, who also said that the game is funded by Sony Interactive Entertainment.

Rumor: Konami developing Castlevania, Metal Gear Solid, and Silent Hill revivals

Konami is developing revivals of its Castlevania, Metal Gear Solid, and Silent Hill franchises, according to a VGC report citing unnamed publishing sources.

www.gematsu.com

And if you're referring to the Abandoned aspect of the rumour, that has been locked into release on March 10 for a number of months now.
Now guess what's also just been scheduled for that day? (March 10 in Japan)

[demigod]

It was Tom that hinted about a playstation event first in March.

 

[Starfield]

source?

 

[SuperSaiyanWithDreads]

Booked mark

 

[.Pennywise]

source?

Engine

 

[NonPhixion]

He was right about Demon's Souls Remake being developed by Bluepoint close to 2 years before it's reveal.

 

[Swift_Star]

Present rumors of Silent Hill being in development come from the community twisting stuff around Sony, Kojima and several developers.

None of these are either actual rumors nor come from a known source.

Dusk golem also made terrible claims over resident evil village, he was demodded because of it. I don't think he's realiable at all.

Not every crop of insiders is gonna have the same level of credibility/reliability as those before them

 

[.Pennywise]

Dusk golem also made terrible claims over resident evil village, he was demodded because of it. I don't think he's realiable at all.

He was the one who claimed the game would have werewolfs and vampires and nobody believed him so...
Anyway, as I said. I won't dig into past rumors.

 

[Elder Legend]

Not every crop of insiders is gonna have the same level of credibility/reliability as those before them

yes I am aware of that and I agree. My point was simply to say that real insiders do exists. Just because one insider is wrong or consistently not accurate doesn't mean that every leak is fake from other individuals and that every rumor should be cast out and called a lie.

I have no clue where those people went. Right now the only ones I believe the most is Shinobi (who's still around) and Tom Henderson.

As far as Shpeshal Ed goes, he is inconsistent, and tends to be very strange. I do not trust his sources, not enough consistency.

 

[DarthPutin]

I thought for ages we need something like this, but I'm waaaay too lazy. Need to keep track of the bullshit.

 

[Spaceman292]

I was thinking more along the lines of you being a sleazy college douchebag with a punch-able face <3

Seems like your picture says a lot about you too, if you know what I mean

 

[Holammer]

PS5 Bloodborne backwards compatibility added with 60fps patch and a PC version revealed along with HL: Alyx for PSVR2.
Claimant: moi.
Source: it was revealed in a dream.

But seriously, great thread! We should have 'em before other reveals too. I hate phony insiders trying to divine what's coming for clout.
