Ive heard this might be one...

SEGA MAKES SOME NEW FRIENDS:

You've probably heard by now that acclaimed GameCube developer Silicon Knights recently left the Nintendo round table. So what are they up to these days? word around town is that Silicon Knights is joining forces with the house that Sonic built. And get this-their top-secret project for Sega is an Xbox game. Talk about Giving the big N the stink eye...

Can anyone confirm it? My issue probably wont arrive until tomorrow at the earliest(no mail delivery on the weekend, duh!!).

 

[Screaming_Gremlin]

The rumors are the following:

Dead or Alive 4 will be on Xbox 2 as soon as next year.

Epic Games will have a third person action game on Xbox 2 at launch. That technology demo they showed was actually early work from the game.

Silicon Knights is making an Xbox game for Sega.

Revolution will be backwards compatible.

Bioware has a sci-fi themed RPG well under way on a console (doesn't specify if it will be Xbox or Xbox 2)

 

[Wario64]

thanks

 

[Redbeard]

I'll be happy if only one of those Xbox/Xbox 2 rumors pans out.

 

[Wario64]

Well Q-Mann has been on a roll lately so there's maybe a good chance that they are true

 

[Vyse]

Seems a bit Xbox heavy for EGM rumors. Don't they try to balance with the systems so they don't get hate mail?

I was kind of surprised by that myself. The only non-Xbox rumor was a common sense one about the Revolution.

 

[TheGreenGiant]

SK can make games for whoever they like but its still going to look like ass.

plus they need to change their ugly ass logo. I swear I should sue them for having to look at it when I boot up ED or MGSTTS. ARRRGH Teh Pain.

 

[cvxfreak]

I'm not too fond of SK, myself. They need help in the graphics/polish department.

 

[Dr.Guru of Peru]

I dunno, I thought Twin Snakes looked great. Some great texturing and lighting. Models were a mixed bag, though I liked most of them.

 

[Mama Smurf]

ED looked great, though I have no idea why some models looked good and some looked shit.

 

[bobafett]

Nope. It looks like MGS on steroids. MGS2 is prettier, no to mention the new MGS3.

 

[shuri]

"Yeah you guys are right, SK was never *that* great in the graphics departement you know.."

 

[Wario64]

Anyone remember that part in the underground in Eternal Darkness where they used a texture on a wall to show those towers or whatever? It looked so terrible. I can't describe it since it's been so long since I've played that crappy game

 

[TheGreenGiant]

ED was fugtastic. Stopped playing and sold the game after getting my corneas scratched to death. There was a big ugly demon thing in the floor that looked like a sphincter. It was fugly. That sphincter is indicative of SK's skills if anything.

 

[evilromero]

Sega's still trying to pump out exclusive titles for Xbox, eh? Why don't they just make their own fucking system again? Sega has some relationship issues.

 

[AniHawk]

Silicon Knights is making an Xbox game for Sega.

An exclusive nonsports Sega game on the Xbox eh? Haven't we been down this road 15 fucking times before?

 

[Ghost]

Screw SK, Xbox/Xbox2 can live without their titles, i want this sci-fi bioware RPG...KOTOR3? Or a Microsoft game, if only MS owned the rights to a kickass sci-fi RPG universe.....................








Sorry i passed out with glee there for a minute, SHADOWRUN.

 

[Sagitario]

ED looked great, though I have no idea why some models looked good and some looked shit.

Indeed. Some models were OK... but others (like Alex)... fugly!

 

[TekunoRobby]

That was great shuri. Classic.

 

[Solid]

Indeed. Some models were OK... but others (like Alex)... fugly!

That's pretty much my thoughts exactly. Kinda funny that the main character is the ugliest of them all

Still a great game though, I love it despite the graphic. Best game on the Cube imo.

 

[Die Squirrel Die]

I was going to say, it doesn't exactly smack of great thinking on either's part. What are SK thinking, lets get together with Sega, whose publishing record is shaky to say the least, and make a game for the Xbox, where their performance hasn't just been middling, it's been downright dire.

And Sega are thinking, Xbox, Xbox, Xbox, Xbox, what, they've produced two games in recent years, both on the Cube, and the Xbox is pretty much going to have it's last hurray this Xmas, before winding down for 2005, to make way for its successor, Xbox, Xbox, Xbox, Xbox.

I thought you had like a billion years worth of free subscription?

 

[Late Stage Marxist]

Didn't realize how old this thread was...

 

[AssMan]

Does anyone from GAF have the new EGM?

 

[Redbeard]

As it turns out, IGN's Matt debunked the alleged Sega-Silicon Knights partnership.

 

[Late Stage Marxist]

LOL Best avatar EVAR!

Requesting EGM rumors from the latest issue

- Development kits for Xbox 2 are already being sent out -- someone from a very, very, very large publisher thinks Xbox 2 will be #1 next gen (EA maybe? would explain hopping on the XBL train)

- new Spidey 2 game (not the one(s) for PSP/DS) next year, based on the early comic book; retro look for Spidey

- DQ8, FFXII and KH 2 possibly in '05 in the US; DQ8 will ship before FFXII in the US as well as Japan

- Tiger Woods Street in development

- new Tales game but not a direct sequel to ToS for Cube

Also, EGM has a November 2004 date for Katamai Damacy. WEE!

 

[Defensor]

- Tiger Woods Street in development

So, when is EA going to make Lord of the Rings Street and James Bond 007 Street?

 

[skip]

maybe as soon as LOTR and 007 turn into sports games.

 

[Chopin Trusty Balls]

LOTR Giant golf would be awesome.

 

[Zilch]

DQ8, FFXII and KH 2 possibly in '05 in the US

Possibly? MORE LIKE DEFINITELY.

 

[Ghost]

Im liking the sound of another Spidey 2 game, given that the movie license didnt really do anything for the current game. If they can just flesh out the random crime fighting elements it could be a really good game, plus Comic book universe = better bad guys.

 

[Hellraizah]

- Development kits for Xbox 2 are already being sent out -- someone from a very, very, very large publisher thinks Xbox 2 will be #1 next gen (EA maybe? would explain hopping on the XBL train)

You don't need to be from a large publisher to figure that out. I know I did.

 

[Culex]

- new Tales game but not a direct sequel to ToS for Cube

Sounds good to me

 

[TekunoRobby]

Saw on G4TV tonight: A sequel to Return to Castle Wolfenstein is already on the way. This isn't a rumor but confirmed by id themselves.
