Surfer Girl: The Sylvia Browne of video game predictions.
Seriously - how many times has she been right out of the number of predictions she's made? She's just using the "fire a machine gun in the dark and hope I get a few hits" method, from what I've seen. |
You have GOT to be fucking kidding me. But hey, youre welcome to follow whatever you want. But she'd have to be god damn lucky to have such odds with a fucking "machinegun" lol. |
To be fair, SG's predictions are a mixed bag. There may be a few choice nuggets of information, but most of it is obvious predictions and rumours culled from other gaming sites. I think the machine gun analogy is fairly apt.
To be honest, I could come up with most of the predictions myself. Like this one, for example. It's fairly obvious that the next Onimusha would not be exclusive to PS3 as the series is only popular in Japan. It is not worth Sony paying for exclusivity when the X360 version is virtually guaranteed to bomb (or at least be significantly outsold by the PS3 version). It would also be unlikely to come out on Wii as it is a game that relies heavily on cutting edge graphics and CGI cut-scenes. Therefore the only thing SG had to predict is that Capcom are making a new Onimusha game. Given that the series is still popular in Japan, where sequelitis is rife (FF & DQ?) that is near enough a certainty. Inside knowledge? Seems unlikely in this case.
And no it won't sell systems. Maybe a handful of PS3's in Japan to hardcore fans of the series, but no noticeable impact.
