shagg_187 said:Disaster: Day of Ubisoft's Wii Problems
Ubisoft Montreal was working on Red Steel 2 for a fall 2007 release date and had the majority of the game finished, until marketing and executive types declared the game to be crap. Because of the declaration, development was transferred to Ubisoft Paris, who has been forced to start work on the title from scratch (for a fall 2008 release), having to redo pretty much everything, and there has been a number of "layoffs." Development on the title has been described as a "not fun."
Also, Nintendo really did not want Rayman Raving Rabbits 2 to come at the same time as Super Mario Galaxy, since their game had a stratosphere of buzz and the limbless guy's popular party might disrupt sales of SMG, Nintendo tried anything they could do to refuse to give their approval; for example, in one instance, they said that one of the clouds in the game was shaped like Pikachu.
9) Ubisoft will be publishing Soma, the Human Head/Mark Ecko collaboration coming to PS3 and 360 sometime before two years from now, and which I guarantee is way cooler than the overrated Prey.
11) That non-Metroid game Retro Studios is working on is a new IP that is not an FPS.
15) ChuChu Rocket! comeback for DS and/or Wii.
21) Fuse Games + that pink round guy that floats = their next DS title.

not excite
Nash said:I find it hard to believe Nintendo would be worried about Raving Rabbits 2, especially where SMG is concerned. Let alone try and deliberately hold back it's release.

Ashhong said:17) Red Steel 2 not before May, with multiplayer and co-op.

Ubisoft Montreuil (not Montreal, it's a place in France where UbiHQ is located) was working on Red Steel 2 for a fall 2007 release date and had the majority of the game finished, until marketing and executive types declared the game to be crap.

Okay. I know it's just rumors but it just sounds fake. Ubisoft Montreuil = Ubisoft Paris. Montreuil is a suburb of Paris and where Ubisoft HQ is located. There are no other Ubisoft studio in the region.
Did you hear that one about EA's next acquisition yet? I LOL'd.adelante said:And I'm Quatermann

Ashhong said:13) Q Entertainment is working on WiiWare title or two for release for next year.
Hell yeah??? I mean, of all console manufacturers...........geezNino said:Did you hear that one about EA's next acquisition yet? I LOL'd.
And we all know MS sucks at keeping secrets.Busty said:What strikes me is that even with all these rumours there is still barely any talk about MS first party output barring the possible Gears trilogy.
ski said:Hey Surfer Girl, your blog is a very entertaining read since i found about it.
So, i noticed that your initial posts where not gaming related at all, but very political... are you keeping this mixed content style? (You got very interesting info on both sides )
So, when you know something about that rumored new Zelda for Wii you`ll let us know right?
surfer girl said:ski: Thanks. Yes, I plan on having a mixed content style.
And rumored new Zelda title for Wii? It's happening. Multiple titles. But the new big, epic Zelda for Wii is probably about two years away.
I'll do that for ya. Sega Rally Revo is all kinds of awesome, but Daytona 3 would be so awesome. Initial D would be good, too.leehom said:Email her about Initial D as well. I love Sega to death, but some of their decisions are really WTF? Out of all their racing titles, they resurrect Sega Rally. Why couldn't they have brought Initial D next gen + online or Daytona + online? Those two games would rape. I would love an arcade perfect version of either of those two racers.

Well, if we were giving her the benefit of the doubt (which at this point she seems to have earned to some degree), if I, being an American, was told "Yeah, Ubisoft Montreuil was failing at the project, so it was transfered to another team within the Paris network," that's pretty much the way I would interpret the information.Xzbeat said::lol :lol :lol

I used to live there when I was younger and I can guarantee that there is no Ubisoft Paris.VonGak! said:^.^ Soho is a suburb of London where SCEE's HQ is located, there's no other SCE studio in the region yes we have SCE London and Team Soho.
Dunno, but can't it be working the same way?
Blessed be all the cheese makers.

Google it if you want.
Multiple titles = Next "real" Wii Zelda for Nov 2009, Four Swords WiiWare in 2008, MM VC release in 2008, Virtual Handheld releases (LA & Oracles) whenever that happens, etc. I wouldn't be surprised if we got some WiiWare "remakes" of older titles either (Zelda 1 on TWW engine plz!) or even a full retail Wii rerelease of Wind Waker in the interim.handofg0d said:Emphasis mine.
I assume 'she' is reffering to things like Link's Crossbow Training, but then what would the others be? First guesses:
Zelda Party, Super Zelda Kart
Come to think of it, I would totally play Super Zelda Kart. Coins=Rupees, Green Shell=Arrow, Bomb=Bomb, Mushroom=Triforce, Banana Peel=Deku Seeds, Super Star=Fairy Bottle, Lakitu=Tingle
Probably. The HQ was pretty big.VonGak! said:Ah yes but isn't there a chance of it being in the very same building?
I mean to my knowledge SCE London is located in Soho (five storage high building where Phil has his office on the top floor) where Team Soho also is located(perhaps I'm mixing things up, help me out McCat for an Avatar).

I wouldn't expect Zelda to suddenly follow the Mario spinoff formula though (ie: Kart, Party, Golf, Strikers, DDR, etc)... at most, I could see something like Nintendo and Project Soul doing a Zelda themed weapons based 3D fighter maybe, but don't expect Zelda IPs stuck in just any open game design a la Mario.
Well, CBT isn't all that unnatural an extension really, and it was thrown together by a tiny team reusing assets. It's also essentially a freebie... the thing probably wouldn't have seen retail release without the Zapper.handofg0d said:I don't actually expect Zelda to get whored out like the Mario franchise... Just tried to inject some humor with negative speculation. I assumed it would be more like Four Swords game-types. Although, if Crossbow Training is any indication of things to come, I fear for the worst see what Nintendo is capable of.
You're wrong, I just googled for "surfer girl" images and have found confirmation she's a girl! You guys need to do some research before making such claims!MrTroubleMaker said:probably, and doesn't surf either..
I cant wait to here official info on RFOM2

1) Nintendo's new handheld will see release in late 2009.
Although someone emailed me today saying "dudes i gotta a hot scoops on the new nintendo handheld system, it comes out 10/10/2010 and does not have a screen and is codenamed revolution." I'm glad I can get such hot scoops.
2) Something from J.J. Abrams that is not Lost is getting the game treatment.
I'm crossing my fingers for the Felicity MMORPG.
3) Ubisoft Montpelier is working on Beyond Good & Evil 2, Frédérick Raynal's new game (creepy), and an MMO. One of those will see release next year and the other two in 2009.
4) That Red Steel 2 features online play.
