My God! Check the last post in this thread.

What are we suppossed to do now? Someone tell us whats in it. There is no way what he says is true.

For the lazy:

Or go read Gameimformer's Feb. Issue...
I'll give you a hint, just "pretend" it might possibly have 60 player mp, 8 player co-op, 2 campaigns...but that's just pretending

 

[Wollan]

Don't put your heart into that. Far too insane and you will end up heart broken.

I didn't. Not yet, at least. :lol I need to hear the actual cover story.

 

[Ashhong]

Hmm, she didn't play many Sonic games, did she? Sonic Adventure 2 beats the crap out of the first one and Sonic Rush / Sonic Rush Adventure also came out since then...

Sonic Rush isn't exactly "inspired". SA1 is far better if only for the change in game play.

 

[ethelred]

Calling for a new Golden Sun game on DS or Wii isn't exactly a bold prediction as some were labeling it. If a new Golden Sun game is made, those are the only two options, as it's a Nintendo property. So the only real prediction there is that there's a new GS game coming, and that rumor's been floated by a variety of sources (including IGN).

As for Sonic... well, so far as I care, there hasn't been a good Sonic game since the Genesis. I'm looking forward to seeing if Chronicles can change all that.

Sonic Rush isn't exactly "inspired". SA1 is far better if only for the change in game play.

Rush has the superior soundtrack, though. Shame about the level design.

 

[Sean]

Oh..and there was inaccuracies in the Resistance 2 info I was given. Sorry about that.

hmm.

Also, that action game Certain Affinity is working on is a swashbuckling pirate adventure.

 

[Busty]

Troubles in the Birthday Party talks on Smurfland emerged long before this most recent public manifestation of Smurf village's willingness to give up anything of consequence concerning its mushroom house. Sony's Sept. 6 raid against a likely Astrosnik-Smurf mushroom project was a fire bell in the night that the regime was up to its old tricks -- at least for anyone willing to listen. The administration's continuing refusal to allow Sony to make public the true nature of this facility will only come back to haunt it, not only on Smurfland, but also on its Middle East policy. If no Smurfs were involved, why not shout it out? If the facility was not mushroom, why not do the same? The significance of the Sept. 6 hug has not faded in Congress, nor will the demands for more public disclosure.

I don't know who this Surfer Girl is, but seriously, this chick has far too much free time on her hands.

Bet. How long will it take before some fake news site take this rumor and publish it ?

About 6 more hours to go. Any more guess ?

 

[WrikaWrek]

That's alot of players for everything. Sounds like a tall order, we'll see.

EDIT 3: Narrative stays with Hale the whole time... not Rachel. Hale shot down in Iceland, escapes to US and becomes part of program called Sentinels...

I don't know why Surfer Girl has gone back and redacted all her Resistance 2 info (Sony ninjas?), but Google still caches her old Resistance 2 info, some of which has proven to be correct:

http://www.google.com/search?q=iceland+site:softrockhallelujah.blogspot.com

5) That Resistance: Fall of Man 2 starts in Iceland and ends in Mexico.

http://www.google.com/search?q=resistance+site:softrockhallelujah.blogspot.com

...will reveal other past posts regarding Resistance 2 that she has now since gone and deleted.

Most likely she posted info that she thought was going to be published, but was not, and hence the deletion.

A lesson in Sensationalism from Surfer Girl.

Sega is publishing an action-RPG called The Dark Brotherhood from a Western developer. BioWare's Sonic Chronicles is easily the most inspired game in the Sonic franchise in years and is the best since Sonic Adventure for the Dreamcast. (so a 4.0 and up)
AWESOME!
Resistance II will begin in Iceland.
COOL!
Discs of Tron and Tron will see finally release next year on XBLA.
YEAH!
Kane & Lynch 2 is still happening. (bye bye Freedom Fighters sequel)
WOAH!
Heavy Iron is working on WALL•E for PSWii60, DSP and PS2.
WOW!
Plans for a PS3-exclusive Far Cry title has been trashed in favor of Far Cry 2 for next-gen consoles.
MAGNIFICENT!
NBA Ballers 3 (not the final title) will be slam dunking on the PS3 and Xbox 360 in April.
POW!
After great success Athens 2004, Eurocom is developing sequel 2008 Beijing Olympics for Sega.
PARTY TIME!

Wait, after the last Resistance 2 news, where many of the surfer girl predictions came true, now people are (yeat again) hating her? the heck?

Do people still think these are just lucky guesses?

 

[ksamedi]

I do think that some of her Nintendo info is bogus though. Nintendo is known for there secrecy, I don't see how she can get that kind of info. Like the Animal Crossng will be a MMO in Japan and have minimal online in Europe and America news. That one sounds bogus.

 

[Borys]

Far Cry 2 for next-gen consoles means Far Cry 2 for 360/ PS3 or Xbox III/ PS4?

 

[Tieno]

Far Cry 2 for next-gen consoles means Far Cry 2 for 360/ PS3 or Xbox III/ PS4?

360/PS3, Borys.

 

[Spider_Jerusalem]

Far Cry 2 for next-gen consoles means Far Cry 2 for 360/ PS3 or Xbox III/ PS4?

Next-gen = current gen until the next generation of consoles gets announced. At least, it worked this way last gen.

 

[Ploid 3.0]

Lol. So innocent. *sniff*

Oh wow. This is some spooky stuff. This preson is well informed. Nailed the resistance features.

 

[Borys]

Thanks Tieno and Spider_Jerusalem.

I knew about FC2 for 360/ PS3 but didn't know they are still called "next-gen" consoles.

 

[f@luS]

Thanks Tieno and Spider_Jerusalem.

I knew about FC2 for 360/ PS3 but didn't know they are still called "next-gen" consoles.

Well as long as the PS2 lives (and maybe coz of the wii too), i see the next gen tag stick til the real next gen. We cant call ps2 old gen !

 

[Tieno]

Do people still think these are just lucky guesses?

Some time ago there were rumors about Far Cry 2 being PC/PS3 exclusive so that seems plausible.

 

[Kinan]

heh at title change.

 

[Ploid 3.0]

People feel the need to pair wii with ps2 era and don't dare call it last gen. Guess it's hard to consider it equal with the almighty HDMI consoles.

jk I also don't know why people still say next gen.Especially game producers and such.

 

[acm2000]

people who still say next gen are tits, "next gen" has been around 2 years now, 360, ps3 are current gen, maybe the wii if youre feeling generous, then gc, ps2, xbox, & dreamcast are last gen

 

[Ploid 3.0]

What, SG said something about Twisted metal PS3?!!! J ust noticed it in the new locked thread.
< Happy now. If SG said it, it has to happen. It would have been stupid for ps3 to go without a twisted metal anyway. Warhawk/Calling All Cars engine is already there. Even if it's done by another studio I'd have to take it. Having a chance to see a ps3 vision of TM (less restrictions, and built around online) is better than not having it at all. Yes, I know there is head on heading to PS"2".

All she said is this.

1) The Jet Moto series is alive in the same way a rock is. Twisted Metal has a future on that new console that ends with a 3.

and there are still a ton of other rumours she posted that turned out to be true that aren't mentioned there.

her other blog^, covering unreleased games. I had no idea The Thing 2 or Freelancer 2 once existed. screens of them as well.

Yeah, some of the games in there seem like they could have been interesting. Also once a game has been cancelled is there any way it can somehow live again anyone.? I really like about three of them on there.

 

[lastendconductor]

Rush has the superior soundtrack, though. Shame about the level design.

What? SA1 soundtrack may be forgettable, but Rush is absolutely ear bleeding.

 

[charlequin]

Do people still think these are just lucky guesses?

You mean the post you just quoted where she describes Dark Brotherhood and Sonic Chronicles as two different games (and incorrectly identifies Dark Brotherhood's genre?)

I don't think anyone's doubting that Surfer Girl has some access to some information, but the really specific, falsifiable rumors on one or two things (by which I basically mean Resistance 2) are quite different from the unprovable (and sometimes reported incorrect) rumors on the internal workings of other companies, or the see-what-sticks rumors like "a game from a major FPS franchise is heading to Xbox."

 

[Ghost Leviathan]

I like the commentary - though it is likely to be a man, and Surfer Girl being the brand name, like it sounds. Unsure to how this person is getting so much information, so accurately and quickly, outpacing analysts even.

Maybe to the game developers he or she is only known as the legendary "NDA Breaker" who they have never found.

 

[Kittonwy]

All she said is this.

I hope Dylan Jobe gets to work on another game now that he's settled down at Santa Monica, he's become one of my favorite game directors.

 

[Father_Brain]

You mean the post you just quoted where she describes Dark Brotherhood and Sonic Chronicles as two different games (and incorrectly identifies Dark Brotherhood's genre?)

I wouldn't say that. "Action-RPG" is a pretty nebulous term.

 

[The Orange]

You mean the post you just quoted where she describes Dark Brotherhood and Sonic Chronicles as two different games (and incorrectly identifies Dark Brotherhood's genre?)

How did she describe them as two different games?

 

[botticus]

How did she describe them as two different games?

UPDATE: It turns out that the game is Sonic Chronicles: The Dark Brotherhood, a title that accurately reflects what I said in number four.

She was unaware that they were the same game until the game was revealed.

http://sttnw.blogspot.com/

her other blog^, covering unreleased games. I had no idea The Thing 2 or Freelancer 2 once existed. screens of them as well.

At the time of Digital Anvil's closing, the company was working on two Xbox 360 titles, one of which was dubbed with the codename Project Lonestar (the other, Project Enwor, I'll go into at length at a later date) but also known by the name of Freelancer 2. I have not played much of the original, so forgive me that I cannot compare the sequel to the original. The player would have again been in the shoes of Edison Trent as he attempted to find out the truth about the mystery of the space station disaster that Trent survived whilst alluding some shadowy groups. Anyways, this game (along with the other game that Digital Anvil was working on) had they seen release, in my opinion, would have been the best first-party Xbox 360 titles thus far and this one reminded me of Crimson Skies: High Road to Revenge, which was one of my favorite Xbox games. A shame this one will not see the light of day.

You know what MS? Fuck you! :'(

[LaneDS]

Glanced at her list of titles that never were for the first time and I sincerely hope she's wrong on SSX5. That'd be such a bummer if they didn't do a worthy follow-up. The Burnout Paradise demo teased me so. /sadface

I would bet it had to do with JM 3's poor sales and the fact that Wipeout is pretty similar.

people who still say next gen are tits, "next gen" has been around 2 years now, 360, ps3 are current gen, maybe the wii if youre feeling generous, then gc, ps2, xbox, & dreamcast are last gen

As long as ps2 and wii is around people will stick with next gen. So in a few years it will be ps2, wii, next gen consoles and next-next gen consoles. Its all good

 

[Yoboman]

Interesting tid-bit from her comments section. Apparently the Japanese developer remaking games for PSN (mentioned in EGM) is Square Enix
