- Luxoflux should be ready to show off their new game at E3 at the latest (it's not another True Crime, thankfully).
- On a related note, Vigilante 8 Arcade is still coming to XBLA later this year.
- PROPE will be unveiling their original Wii game "before TGS." Sega has optioned the publishing rights.
- Just Cause 2 looks much better than the first.
- Marvel Universe Online and Untitled Marvel Fighting Game may both be dead and buried in shallow graves, but Raven will still have Marvel: Even More Ultimater Alliance (tentative title) ready by next Spring.

Thanks for the responses to my other questions.
So what about the rumoured Knights of the Old Republic MMO game? Is that also in development?
I first got to say I am happy to find this blog and I hope it will become more know like Surfer Girls
I was wondering is there any chance that BC will come out from Lionhead after Fable 2 or is that game really dead.
Do you know any thing on if True Fantasy Live Online is back online. In the Past Hakihiro Hino of Level 5 and the rest of the team wanted to get back and work on that game. But this time around it would be on the PS3 over the Xbox. Seeing as L5 and Microsoft never made it off.
Do you have any info on Wardevil or project IM (Interstellar Marines).
Also what ever happened to Dead Phoenix from Capcom. Is it planned now to come out on the 360 and PS3.
Also for your Disney part you said there would be Turok 2 will this one have Spinosaurus. Also it sounds like you know what comes after that and any chance you can gie that info out.
Also I saw you posted some info on movies do you know other stuff in that area or not.
Like if you do any chance Disney is looking to bring gargoyles to the big screen and make it like Lord of the Rings character wise instead of a cartoon.
Thanks for any info you can give and I look forward to seeing what you will write about next time.
Is Star Ocean IV a PS3 exclusive?
daddycool:
They are definitely making a new Star Wars MMO, but I don't think it takes place in the same era as KOTOR. Bioware isn't involved with it.
blackicejoe:
Well, considering that Lionhead's Project Dimitri has (kind of, sort of, in a way) come back from the dead, anything is possible. I wouldn't place any bets, though.
True Fantasy Live Online is never going to happen, though Level 5 has thought about an MMO since then. For now, though, they seem to prefer staying out of the MMO arena.
I don't know anything about WarDevil that isn't already out there. Interstellar Marines looks like vaporware.
Dead Phoenix is completely dead, buried, and forgotten. The old rumors about it's remains forming the basis for a new Kid Icarus game were totally untrue, by the way.
Turok 2 is still pretty early and TRON is nothing beyond drawing board ideas and pre-alpha concept experiments.
And no, I'm not really a Hollywood insider or anything (I wish!). A Gargoyles movie would be awesome and as much a suprise to me as anyone else. High five for remembering cool '90s cartoons. :)

Doesn't look that way.
Hi,
Do you think that the digital games sales (like steam) is the future of pc gaming?
According to NPD, COD 4 was only sold to 380.000 copies in USA, do you think that the digital sales are bigger?
Any chance to see Grand Theft Auto 4 on pc?
Thanks (this blog is cool)
Nintendo Power said they were going to reveal a huge RPG in the next issue. The exact quote is “Next month’s cover story is an RPG so fantastic, so engrossing, so epic, and so hush-hush that we’d have to erase your memories if we told you what it is. In fact, maybe we already did. Role-playing fans, get ready for a big one.” I was wondering if you could shed some light on what that title will be or at least if it's worth the hype they're drumming up.
Do you know if a Kid Icarus title is in the works which studio has been selected for it?
Is Disaster Day of Crisis coming out this year?
Thanks for the quick reply in the previous days thread.
Also, keep up the good work in the blog.
my questions.
1) Do you know what Monolith is cooking up after Project Origin and Condemned 2?
2) Darksiders: Wrath of War....I saw a preview of this last year and it looked really promising, but haven't heard anything since. What's it's status and if you have seen it do you think it'll join other greats in the genre like God of War and Ninja Gaiden?
3) Will 2K Boston / 2K Australia make a third Freedom Force game for PC, especially given the somewhat cliffhanger ending of FF vs. The Third Reich?
4) I was always was under the impression that Ken Levine was a good guy from interviews and feedback to fans on forums such as ttlg and what other developers have said...but recent blogs say his BioShock team didn't want to work with him anymore. Can you shed some light on this. Also, if 2K Marin is making BioShock 2 as rumored, will Ken Levine still be involved?
5) I read The Witcher was a success, especially in Europe....do you know if CD Projekt RED studio has any more PC RPGs in the pipeline or even a PC expansion to The Witcher?
Thanks
can u name some titles of new "unannaounced" 360 games?
is there a kojima project exclusive for 360?
any good rpg coming to 360?
thanks :)
Hi skaterboy, Can you tell us something about "Angel Rings"?From what i understand same folks that worked on Legend of Dragoon are working on this game, and as a big fan of LOD i am looking forward to AR.Any specific info,have you seen game...anything?!
-Also what about WarDevil, any info? http://www.wardevil.com/
P.S-you seem to be much faster in your responses compared to SurferGirl, i salute you for that.
Thanks
So Dude, EGM had a rumor going that Square plans to make a exclusive Front Mission game on the 360, while the PS3 gets one oof their other premiere IPs locked exclusively.
...is this by any chance true?
And if so, is the PS3 exclusive by any chance Parasite Eve :)?
Dear God I would love to see a next gen Parasite Eve sequel.
Also... CVG's PSM3 blog mentioned that Vivendi is actually working on a PS3 exclusive called "Project A". Is that true?:0
...And if so could you spill some details and info about it :)?
Hey man couple questions:
1) Any new "Crash Bandicot" games for 2008?
2) Zone of the Enders 3 plans?
3) Why is the MegaMan "relaunch title" slated to hit in 2010? Anytime sooner?
Do you know anything about infamous that we don't already know? Is it released this year for sure? And will it be better than the other free roaming games like prototype, crackdown and asssassins creed.
Do you think that Microsoft comes with a handheld device for games? So yeah, when its come you think? Or will the Zune play games?
Greets from The Netherlands!
Ps: Sorry for my horrible English skaterboy!
So when can we expect to hear any official announcements on Knights of the Old Republic 3 from Lucasarts?
Thanks.
hi skaterboy, can you tell us more about the new wolfenstein game (i've heard something about sandbox gameplay - big city, missons and side-missions), next doom or quake? thanks
-Also do you know what games will Sony show at GDC?
-Do you know of any unannounced "BIG" PS3 exclusive game(both 1party and 3rd)?
Thanks
Do you agree with surfergirl about killzone being mediocre? And are there other games that will be disappointing next year?
Microssoft has 5 exclusives which are going to be announced this year, 1 RPG. 1,fps, 2 action adventure and 1 simulation, one of the two action adventure games was Multiplatform earlier and now 360 exclusive...sufferes from the Bioshock syndrome...
to the above anonymous:
"...2 games that went exclusive from multiplatform..."
Yeah, you know what? Im gonna wait for Skaterboy to confirm that, just avoid any odd BS to lay in a pro word for the 360.
1)Can you tell us something about Max Payne 3?(SG said it`s in development)
and when it`ll be announced?
2)What do you think of killzone 2?
3)Can you name few unannounced exclusives for the 360 that will be revealed in GDC?
Uh um also, should we get our hopes up for a Shadow Hearts Sequel?
Even though I heard a big portion of the SH team moved over to Mistwalker.
Should expect any Shadow Hearts game by a different developer perhaps? :x
1) Is Kingdom Hearts 3 for Wii?
2) What Wii projects do Square Enix develop at the moment?
3) Do you know more about the new Kuju London (Battalion Wars) projects for Nintendo?
4) When is Europe going to get Super Smash Bros. Brawl?
You mentioned that kingdom hearts 3 is for wii, but who is making it? The KH team is making versus and other teams are currently making other kh games.
any impressions on resistance 2?
Do you know when we'll see it in motion, and is it on track for fall release?
Great blog mate, keep it up!
Will Skies of Arcadia 2 be on the Wii?
Hi SB, Surfer Girl believes you're creditable I heard, I guess you're trust worthy, we'll see in the end.
1. What's genre is Prope's Wii game?
2. Is Prope's Wii game a family aimed game like Billy Hatcher and Sonic?
3. Is Prope's Wii game exclusive to the Wii?
4. Is Prope's Wii game a platformer?
5. Is Fuse Games really making a Kirby game for the DS?
6. If so, is the Kirby game a Pinball game, or another type of game?
7. Is Suikoden 6 a Wii exclusive?
8. Have you played the English build of Opoona?
9. If so, does Opoona support 480p, 16:9, and Dolby Pro Logic II?
10. What's Opoona's framerate?
11. Will there be a Billy Hatcher sequel for the Wii?
12. Will Kingdom Hearts 3 be a Wii exclusive?
13. Also, what's up with Sword of Legendia?
14. Is Krome going to make a new Ty game for the Wii?
15. If so, will the Ty game be a Wii exclusive?
16. Any idea if Artoon will be developing retail games for the Wii?
Thanks, and don't forget to put the question numbers before the answers!
I take back "faster than surfer girl" part. Jesus 2 days....
I have a few more questions in addition to my previous ones.
17. What platforms will Disney's Bolt be on?
18. Is Prope's Wii game good?
19. Any info about Matsuno's possible Wii game?
20. Will Spectrobes come to the Wii? And will Jupiter develop it?
21. Will Disney put most of their family projects (especially the movie and animated Disey character based ones) on the Wii exclusively?
22. Let's talk Sonic, will Sonic Chronicles feature any voice samples in the slightest? I'm sure you know how much 4Kids is despised right?
23. What's the next Sonic game on the Wii like? is it exclusive? Is it any good?
24. Any idea if 4Kids will ever leave the Sonic games?
25. Sega mentioned a while ago that they'll continue making Sonic games for the PS2 with Zero Gravity being the first of them, will they all be on the Wii as well?
Thanks!
Hehe, I actually have even more questions. :P
26. Any info about Rainbow Studios Wii exclusive Action Thriller IP?
27. Any info about Tantalus' big original IP for the Wii?
28. Any info about SuperVillian Studios' Wii exclusive original IP?
29. Who's publishing SuperVillian's Wii game?
30. And who's publishing Tantalus' Wii game?
Sorry for this response being so slow. Had some computer troubles, which are now semi-resolved.
Anon One:
1) There will certainly be millions of PC gamers who end up buying digitally distributed games exclusively, but I don't think that the market for boxed, retail games will ever go away. I'm a collector and prefer boxed games, myself.
2) Valve is secretive with Steam sales figures, but I doubt COD4 sold more digitally than boxed. Piracy really hit the PC version of the game hard.
3) The chances of GTA4 on PC are approximately 100%. In 2008, though? Not sure about that...
Anon Two:
I haven't seen that issue of NP. Wasn't it the one before the issue talking about Sonic Chronicles? Excuse my ignorance if I'm mistaken. Kid Icarus is coming someday, and Disaster, despite some troubles, is still on track.
nameless1:
1) Nope, sure don't.
2) THQ is looking for something to fill in the gap following their recent house cleaning, and Darksiders is something they're hoping will catch on. I wouldn't put it anywhere near Ninja Gaiden though.
3) Nothing is going on with Freedom Force right now, but 2K is holding tight onto the IP.
4) He's a talented and creative guy, but like many a rock-n-roll front man, it seems like his teammates find him a bit stifling. He won't be involved with BioShock 2.
5) I don't know what RED STUDIO is up to, but I know that I'm looking forward to it, whatever it is.
--mas:
Lemme get back to you on that first one. No Kojima exclusive for 360. There are many RPGs coming to 360. Unannounced ones, though? Well, there's Eternal Sonata 2...
--globox82:
1) I haven't heard anything about "Angel Rings" since it was announced. Smells of vaporware.
2) I don't know anything other than what's been shown of WarDevil, but it looks to me to be one of these projects undertaken by a small start-up studio who plans a game for future platforms, and has some pretty and ahead-of-their-time cinematics to show for it, but not much in the way of an actual game. Robota and Sadness are other good examples of such projects. Even if they do progress into actual playable games, by the time they do, they're often find themselves suddenly behind the times, where they once looked to be visionary.
--rukusa:
All I know about Front Mission right now is that the new one for DS should be stateside this year. Parasite Eve is under consideration, but not active development. Lastly, I've never heard of "Project A," sorry.
--Anon Three:
1) Some silly portable game.
2) Totally.
3) I think Capcom only set that timeframe in case work on the game falls behind. It certainly might come before then.
--gorillamuseum:
Infamous is still on track for this year. It looks quite nice, but I'm more interested in Prototype, personally.
--the source:
No Microsoft gaming handheld. Games for Zune will happen though. Your English is very nice, by the way! :)
--daddycool:
Too early to call, though E3 is kinda possible.
--chupacabra:
What you've heard about Wolfenstein is true, and it looks to be shaping up quite nicely. The next core Doom and Quake games are just ideas right now.
--gloxbo82:
1) Some combination of Killzone 2, Singstar, a bunch of talk about Home, and some other stuff. Resistance 2 is also supposed to be shown.
2) Maaaaybe. SurferGirl's mentioned most of the good ones, though...I should have started this blog earlier, heh.
--mika:
Yes, I'd agree with her. It's pretty, but gameplay-wise, it just doesn't really stand out at all. Other games that I don't expect to live up to their potential, but wish would come together at the last second: Red Steel 2, Iron Man, Alone in the Dark, Killzone 2, Far Cry 2, SWAT 5, and Eight Days (that old trailer is even less representative of the actual game than the original Killzone 2 trailer was of that game). Also, don't count on the next Driver, Spider-Man, and Tony Hawk games being any better than the other most recent ones.
--Anon Four and rukusa:
Microsoft has some announcements that will definitely anger some people.
--kookoo:
1) It's worth looking forward to.
2) Pretty, but nothing unique in the gameplay department. Much like the first. I'd rather see another Liberation. Oh, wait, they are making another Liberation!
3) Gears of War 2 is Microsoft's GDC centerpiece.
--rukusa:
Nope, Shadow Hearts is retired, and the developer shut down, indeed, with many team members taking refuge at Mistwalker. The talent present there is immense.
--rainer:
1) Yup.
2) Well, aside from publicly announced games, there's Seiken Densetsu/Mana, and some other WiiWare projects.
3) Nope, sorry.
4) August is the current target date.
--gogol:
Square-Enix is a big enough company to handle as many projects as they currently have lined up.
--Anon Five:
I think Resistance 2 looks better than the first, which I didn't really enjoy. It's on track for this year, and the plan is to show it at GDC, unless something goes wrong.
--iloverumors:
Seems so.
--Hero of legend:
1-4) The only thing I can say about PROPE's game is that it's original, and unrelated to any past Sega games or franchises.
5) Unless it's been canned in the last week, yes.
6) Fuse knows their role.
7) Yes.
8-10) Haven't played it, sadly. Looks great, though.
11) Nope, not in the cards.
12) Yes.
13) Been a loooong time since I've heard anything. May well be dead.
14-15) Haven't heard anything about Ty lately.
16) Possible. They're currently busy desperately trying to get Cry On up to snuff.
--globox82:
Sorry. As mentioned, I was having computer problems.
--hero of legend:
17) PS2, PS3, PSP, Wii, DS, 360, and Windows.
18) I hope so.
19) Nope.
20) Spectrobes will be staying on DS for the time being, but Disney is exploring ideas to expand the franchise.
21) No, absolutely not.
22) Sonic Chronicles has a little voice work.
23) There will be another Sonic for Wii that is not exactly like the first one.
24) Not in the near future. Sega sees no need to hire new actors.
25) Sega promised another Sonic for PS2? I haven't heard of one.
26-30) Ouch...I'm afraid I don't know any of those, sorry.

thx
Nice that you mentioned new Killzone:liberation game, i guess for PSP?
Anyways i would rather see them expand Killzone universe into other genres. Are there any plans for such thing?
Thx again
So Dude, what these 2 games that were multiplatform, that went to become 360 exclusive.
I hope it aint Dead Rising 2 or Onimusha 5 *crosses fingers*.
Mmmm, being a PSWii owner I think I can expect Eternal Sonata 2 to hit the PS3 later :].
But its nice for the Microsoft side nevertheless.
1)Do you know if Alan Wake will be shown at the GDC?What do you think about this title?When it`ll be released?
2)1)Do you know if Banjo-Kazooie 3 will be shown at the GDC?What do you think about this title?When it`ll be released?
3)Do you know if microsoft will reveal the other RARE`s 360 titles?
4)what is the second lionhead`s 360 title?
Thanks a lot for all the answers!
I have a few more (but far less) questions:
1. D you see Prope and Artoon ever collaborating on a game? In your opinion, would it work out?
2. Do you see Microsoft ever letting go of Rare in the future?
3. Any idea if there are other Tales games in development for the Wii?
4. Any possible info about Dead Phoenix?
5. Shinji Mikami is developing a new game at Platinum Games, which platform is it on?
6. Do you know anything about Monster Hunter 3 that we don't yet? Like how it looks, or if it's staying a Wii exclusive?
7. Any new about a new Pac-Man game? Any Wii exclusives down the road? Any good ones as well?
8. Any idea who is developing the new Kid Icarus? And is it on the Wii, or is it on the DS? And will Pit use his Brawl design?
9. Is Factor 5's Wii game a retail game? Does it show jaw dropping graphics that put all the naysayers to rest? :P
10. Is the Kirby Wii game still in development?
11. Do you know of any really good Sonic games for the Wii? Or do you just know the one new Wii game?
Why some of you ask same question all over again?
Thanks for your answers ;)
When shall we expect the official confirmation of KH3 for Wii?
Is the Promotion Channel (Japan: Everybody's Nintendo Channel) for the Wii still slated for March?
What about a Level5 project for Wii?
Is Mario Kart Wii still expected to hit Europe first (April or May)?
Which platform will see the next Golden Sun?
Has Nintendo bought the Fatal Frame IP?
I actually have a few more questions:
12. Is Media.Vision's Wii RPG a Wild Arms game, or an original IP, and is it exclusive to the Wii?
14. You mentioned that Square Enix is making a Mana game for the Wii, is that exclusive and a retail game?
15. By any chance, is Suikoden 6 the RPG that was shown as an untitled Konami RPG game back when the huge Wii game list was shown in 2006?
http://wii.ign.com/articles/732/732678p1.html
16. What's up with From Software's Wii RPGs?
17. Is Cookie & Cream heading to the WIi by any chance?
18. MTO is developing a Iyashikei
Character Action Game, any info about that? Like if it's a new Ip and a platfromer?
19. Are any of the games above good?
Do you know something about new rpg game from Obsidian?I don't mean the Alien one.
Hey there i was wondering if there are going to be any PS3 Exclusive RPGs revealed this year?
If there are could you give me any details on those? thanks~
globox82:
Yes.
Rukusa:
Fear not, Dead Rising 2 and Onimusha 5 two are both still multiplatform.
kookoo:
1) Yes, Alan Wake will be there. I think it looks pretty cool.
2) Yes, they'll be showing Banjo at GDC. I'd say it's Rare's best effort yet on 360 (though I do love Viva Pinata); it certainly beats the pants off Kameo. It should be released this holiday season, but Rare is known for delays...
3) At GDC? Maybe one of the XBLA ones.
4) I don't know what they'll actually call it, but it grew out of what was once known as Dimitri.
hero of legend:
1) I doubt it.
2) No.
3) Only Knight of Ratatosk is for sure right now. Sword of Legendia seems dead.
4) It's dead and never coming back.
5) PlatinumGames (it's one word) is working on a PS3/360 game.
6) Monster Hunter 3 looks like the trailer (in other vords, very nice). It's staying Wii-exclusive.
7) Pac-Man Carnival was on hold, last I heard. It might be revived at some point in the future.
8) Developer unknown, but Nintendo wants it on Wii. It's highly unlikely they'll use the exact Brawl design.
9) Yes, it's Turrican, and while no one will mistake it for a gra0 Gears of War 2,
10) Yes, it's still partially based on the cancelled Gamecube version.
11) The new Sonic for Wii looks okay, but it's no Super Mario Galaxy or anything. Sonic Chronicles looks like the best thing the series has going right now, if you ask me.
rainer:
1) It'll probably be quite a while.
2) Not looking good for March.
3) That would be the new Turrican.
4) May at the earliest.
5) DS.
woot:
No, it still belongs to Tecmo. Nintendo is just publishing Fatal Frame 4.
hero of legend:
12) It's original, and Wii-exclusive.
14) Double yes.
15) Nope, that was a different game, which has since been cancelled.
16) No word in a long time. Possibly dead.
17) Not to my knowledge, but it's totally possible.
18) Don't know what that is, sorry.
19) I'll let ya'll decide when you play them. :P
anonymous:
They are working on two games at the moment, but I don't know anything about the non-Aliens one.
satoshi:
Sure, but I'll have to tell you more about them later.
