Forums - Gaming - A whole load of rumors by somebody calling himself Surfer boy..

...yup. You heard right, Surfer Girl apparently got herself a rival here:

1st bunch:

1) Microsoft will show its motion-sensing addon at the E3 of this July. The peripheral will replace the battery pack of the Xbox 360 controller;
2) Soul Calibur IV will have some exclusive contents on Playstation 3 platform;
3) The firmware 4.00 of the PSP will have Home support;
4) Sony plans to support Skype also on Playstation 3;
5) Gears of War 2 is a reality but it won't see the light until 2009;
6) Nintendo will show at the E3 a "new" version of the Nintendo Wii: it will support 720p resolution, DVD playback and will have also a HDMI port. The price will remain the same of today;
7) Still no plans for a third version of the Nintendo DS;
8) At the end of the year we'll see Haze on Xbox 360 and Splinter Cell ConViction on Playstation 3.

 2nd bunch:

About GDC:

1) Phil Harrison will show some exclusive titles for PS3 and PSP, already in development and ready for 2008;
2) There will be a talk about Fumito Ueda games: one will be about the universe of iCO and SOTC, and the other is a brand new title;
3) No Home for Microsoft, just an extension of XNA for young developers;
4) Square-Enix is working on the remake of Final Fantasy VII on PSP console: it will have mixed 2D and 3D graphic.

3rd bunch:

- Metal Gear Portable Ops 2 will be shown at E3 2008, it will be about Big Boss and the starting of Outer Heaven. Temporary release date is fall 2008 in Japan;
- Gears of War 2 will have a framerate of 60fps in closed rooms, while 30fps in the open areas;
- Even though God of War 3 will arrive on PS3 system only in 2009, we'll see a trailer soon (anybody said GDC?);
- There's an Easter Egg in Devil May Cry 4 (Playstation 3 retail version): a teaser of Onimusha 4;
- Gran Turismo 5 Prologue european version will have additional features of the previous japanese release.

 

Alot of this doesnt really make sense, even though Surfer Girl confirmed that Onimusha 4 (And Dead Rising 2 apparently) is underway, this guy has to prove himself first.

Obviously take a large dose of salt to this.

It doesn't sound as credible as surfer girl. Not, saying he isn't... It just sounds more made up then surfer girl.



Hey, I just found a source from someone called Surfer Dude:
1) There will be big games in 2008 and early 2009
2) FFXIII has been delayed to early 2009
3) A Sci-Fi action shooter game will be announced sometime soon, probably around GDC.
4) SSBB reportedly has some more unannounced 3rd party characters.
5) Epic is currently working on an unannounced new IP.
6) MS has big plans for GDC.
7) Sony has big plans for GDC.
8) Phil Harrison is going to talk about Sony as GDC.

See, I can do it too.

1) Sony PlayStation 4 will be made by Sony

3) Exclusives will be announced for PS3 this year

9) A FPS will come out on the 360 this year
10) Sony will have some sort of PR blunder this year

6) Nintendo will show at the E3 a "new" version of the Nintendo Wii: it will support 720p resolution, DVD playback and will have also a HDMI port. The price will remain the same of today;

 

I call BS, they STILL haven't hit a point where the Wii isn't selling out, they won't even consider updating the system until they do. 



Seppukuties is like LBP Lite, on crack. Play it already!

Currently wrapped up in: Half Life, Portal, and User Created Source Mods
Games I want: (Wii)Mario Kart, Okami, Bully, Conduit,  No More Heroes 2 (GC) Eternal Darkness, Killer7, (PS2) Ico, God of War1&2, Legacy of Kain: SR2&Defiance


My Prediction: Wii will be achieve 48% market share by the end of 2008, and will achieve 50% by the end of june of 09. Prediction Failed.

It's plausible.  It's a fairly minor update, and could just replace the existing sku.  Wouldn't be worth it for most people to upgrade but considering the # of people with HD-TVs this makes sense to do.



 

Most people could have predicted all this themselves, although the easter egg in DMC 4 is the one to look out for to see if he has any credibility



I bet its Soriku.




Nintendo still doomed?

Not really a minor update. Going from standard to Hd is a decent sized jump. I could see the DVD playback, but that has been rumored for some time. I could maybe even see the HDMI output slot, so that is could be hooked to some people's tv more conveniently, but I don't see it becoming High Def. Nintendo made a design choice.that was a double edge sword. No Hd is cheaper to produce and make games for, but the graphics will never reach the same level.
