- Red Alert 3 looks really awesome.
- Spore Creatures is also really terrific.
- Not long ago, there was some brainstorming at EA about bringing back Ultima (to match the new Wing Commander, perhaps), but that's all backburner'd for now.
- Codemasters' is working on a follow-up to DiRT. It will apparently feature a dedication to the late Colin McRae. On a related note, Race Driver: GRID and Operation Flashpoint 2 are both looking quite nice.
- Activision/Neversoft really have no shame. The new Tony Hawk game is more than just a little inspired by skate. People call EA derivitive, but yeesh...
- I doubt that Blizzard will be using GDC to show off either Hydra or Diablo III. It is my understanding that the Diablo III unveil is currently pegged for E3, while Hydra's coming out date is still a mystery.

1)When Max Payne 3 will be announced?
2)Is there any chance that insomniac will develop games for the 360?
3)What`s next for bungie?
4)What Realtime worlds are working on?
5)please!!name a few unannounced 360 exclusives for this year.....
1) Will Infinite Undiscovery come to PS3?
2) How about Mass Effect? I think it might be possible for them to port it after Mass Effect 2.
3) Will Bungie ever create anything for the PS3 now that they are separated from Microsoft?
You said that ps1 rpgs on psn will definitely happen(not a big surprise) do you know which ones we might see?
1. Where do you get your info? ;)
2. Will there be a new Onimusha? What system(s)?
1) Dunno, sorry. Could be any time, really.
2) Extremely unlikely.
3) Pimps at Sea, of course! Really though, they're very involved with Halo Chronicles, at the moment.
4) APB seems to be the only game in actual development there, at the moment.
5) All right, all right...soon.
Anonymous:
1) Unlikely.
2) Mass Effect 1, probably not. Mass Effect 2, certainly.
3) Possible, but their relationship with Microsoft is still pretty good, so don't go betting the farm.
gorillamuseum:
Square-Enix has a few, for one.
lol:
1) Ancient Chinese secret!
2) Onimusha 5 is coming to PS3 and 360. A PC version is also possible.
Hi,
What do you think of the "the PC Gaming Alliance" from Intel, NVIDIA, Microsoft and AMD (and others)?
Hi skaterboy
A couple of questions if you dont mind:
1) Diablo 3 should be an awesome entry into the franchise; I would like to know: World of Diablo and/or Starcraft a possibility?
2) While on the subject of Blizzard, they never stated that Starcraft Ghhost was one of their canceled games. Can we expect a revival?
3) Squares new MMORPG... is it related to the FF13 projects?
4) The PS3 seems to be faring much better as of late, do you know what the general developer attitude of the PS3 is these days?
5) Will Calling All Cars get any new breathe put back into it?
6) A previous poster talked about the Nights port for PS2 making its way to Wii. I would like to know whether Nights on PS2 will get a US and EU release, and also whether there is a possibility that the Nights sequel on Wii, will get a port to either PS2, or PS3?
7) Any new PS2 games in development? When should we expect the last games to be rolling in?
8) Any talk of Metal Gear AC!D 3, MGS: Portable Ops 2, or a new MG entry for PSP?
9) Will Red Steel 2 be an improvement on the original?
10) Will Mistwalker release any of their games on a Sony system? I really do see Blue Dragon and Lost Odyssey performing far better, sales wise, on the PS3.
11) You may have been asked this before, but MGS4... will it remain PS3 exclusive?
12) HOME seems to be coming along quite nicely... are Sony planning anything new for it that we don't know already?
Thx for your time
1)Can you tell us Nintndo's first party line-up for Holidays 2008?Aside from Mario Kart and Disaster what can we expect?Annimal Crossing,Wii Sports 2,Kirby Wii,Starfox Wii or something else?
2)Any information about the next Prince of Persia?Will the Wii version be the same in scope with the more powerful machines?
3)Beyond Good and Evil 2.Is it comig to Wii or not?
4)Is it true that a Wii sequel of Skies of Arcadia got canceled or not?
5)Is Snatcher definately coming to the Wii?
6)Any chances that the new Metal Gear Wii game is a remake of the MSX games?
Thanks a lot!
Thanks for those answers SB!
1. A new Crash game was leaked at GameStop and Eb called "Crash: Invasion of the Bandicoot Snatchers", it's for all the platforms Titans was on minus the GBA. You said that there would be only the handheld Crash game, care to explain this?
2. Is Vicarious Visions ever developing another Crash game? For the DS and Wii perhaps?
3. You said that Sega is planning a sequel to Sonic '06 as it's nicknamed, is it for Wii at least? Or is that still undecided?
4. Any idea what Spore Wii is like? Is it good?
Thanks!
Anon One:
Uh...cool, I guess? I don't really think that those sorts of consortiums really accomplish much, honestly.
cruizd:
1) Diablo III will comtian MMO elements, so there is no need for World of Diablo. World of StarCraft is not in the cards right now.
2) I will direct you here.
3) Maybe.
4) Some developers like it, some don't, some like it a lot. Many publishers see it as more viable this year.
5) Doubt it.
6) It's possible that the PS2 port will see release outside of Japan, but not bet-worthy. Nights: Journey of Dreams is now and forever a Wii-exclusive.
7) Sure, there will be PS2 games for quite a while still. Don't expect anything on the scale of, like, core Final Fantasy or Metal Gear games, though.
8) Triple no, but always possible.
9) I'm sure they'd like it to be. From what I saw, it's still pretty broken.
10) No.
11) Maybe, maybe not.
12) There will be little additions regularly for a long time. I still think it's a glorified Second Life, personally.
Anon Two:
1) MarioKart is coming long before holiday season. Animal Crossing and Starfox are highly unlikely, but Kirby could happen.
2) Ask Surfer Girl, she knows more about it than I. The Wii version will be different.
3) Yes, Wii, and the other two.
4) Unknown.
5) Last I heard.
6) Possible. You can count on seeing some sort of remake at some point.
hero of legend:
1) I never said that the handheld game was the only one.
2) Highly unlikely.
3) PS3/360. Wii has it's own Sonic games.
4) Not as dissimilar from the PC version as the DS version is. It looks good, but I'm playing it on PC.
Hi Skaterboy
1) There have been rumors that EA is making a new highly impressive Wing Commander game that it is investing a lot of money into, however, it was absent from the EA Earnings list that was unveiled today.
The reason this was odd is because the list included games that were officially acknowledged by EA for the first time such as BioWare's new KOTOR and Red Alert 3.
If it does actually exist, Can you give reason why this new Wing Commander was absent from the list, or even if it actually exists.
2) Will Mass Effect for PC due in May include any additional new content specifically for the PC version aside from the possible extra DLC that 360 version will see in March?
3) Do you know what development studio is behind SWAT 5?
Hmm, thanks!
1. Tell me about this new home console Crash game. It's another platformer right? Is it more free-roaming like Twinsanity? The PS2 version is the baseline version again and is then ported to the other consoles right?
2. When you said that the designs would "more or less" remain the same in the Crash games, will a character get a slight change in design? Any idea who?
3. Is Radical behind this game? Odd since Tag Team Racing was released in 2005, then Titans in 2007, now this one in 2008?
Hey Surferboy, big thx for anwsering my question in the other post. I have another question regarding one game: How is Project offset shaping up? is it realy a xbox-console only (besides pc) exclusive? Who is the publisher atm? is there a publisher?
Hi Skaterboy
Sorry for the Q bout Starcraft: Ghost; only started reading your blog in January.
I'd like to ask whether a possible Folklore 2 is being planned?
Also, is the DLC for Folklore truly over?
thx
SB, one question:
You said the MegaMan Wii game was disappointing. Would you mind specifying please?
Hi, few questions.
1. Any news on FF VII remake for PS3/PSN version?
2. Will S-E remade more of the older games, Chrono series?? Parasite Eve?
3. Parasite Eve 3 on PS3? Possible?
4. SSB: Brawl EU premiere?
5. Will we see new infos about Dissidia on GDC?
Sorry for my not quite good english and thanks for reply.
Hello again Skaerboy. Thanks for answering my questions awhile back.
1. Know anything about Pikmin 3? Release date? Controls?
2. I know I've already asked you about F-Zero Wii, but have you or anyone else seen it? If so, do you think it will live up to the awesome GX?
3. You said that Factor 5's Wii game will be Turrican, but with IGN's interview with Julian Eggebrecht, he seems to reveal that they're shooting for a casual type of game. Could this be Pilot Wings instead?
4. Any great Wii platforming games in the future?
Thanks!
1) Is Dark Cloud 3 coming?
2) Hows Legend of Spyro: Darkest Hour looking for PS3?
3) Will there ever be a Crash Bandicoot on the PS3?
Thanks!
Micrsosoft's acquiring Q entertainment in the near future right? So what games are we going to see from them in the future....another sequel to Ninety nine nights.
Indigo Prophecy : Halo Chronicles....Isn't Microsoft tinkering around with the franchise way too much.

red alert 3 screens
1) Is Capcom going to bring Dead Rising to the PS3?
Couple of questions.
A)Any news on what PlatinumGames (ex-Clover guys) are doing?
B)Endless Ocean sequel? Nah probably not.
C)Will the Star Trek movie game not suck?
D)I don't suppose you'd know what the soundtrack of EBA2 is going to be?
Cheers.
Hey i was wondering, is Diablo III PC game?
Or for consoles?
Thanks very much!~
Whats the developer of the Oddworld serier doing?? I thought Strangers Wrath was a excellent game and would love to see a sequel.
Will Nintendo be releasing downloadable characters and other content for SSBB?
1. Will Nintendo ever give us Super Mario RPG on the VC?
2. Is there any truth in the rumored Super Mario RPG game for the DS?
3. Will MH3 require friend codes or is Capcom going to be able to bypass it?
4. How is the track list for Samba De Amigo Wii? Any chance of downloadable content for it?
5. Will the new Sonic Wii project follow the same formula as the previous game?
6. Will Rock Band for the Wii have downloadable content like the other versions?
7. Is there any truth to a sequel to Skies of Arcadia for the Wii?
8. Will Donkey Kong ever get a game in the vein of DKC, or at least more platformy and less gimmicky?
9. When is the release date for Super Street Fighter II Turbo HD Remix?
10. Any more Square games on the VC?
Thanks, love the blog!
Surfergirl mentioned a Earthbound/Mother game for either DS or the Wii. Do you have any information about this?
Was she referring to an original game, Earthbound on the VC, or Mother 3 being localized for the DS, or a mixture of the three?
Thanks!
Sony made a recent job posting about a FPS for the PS3 that is under development any ideas on what it could be what could it be...
Hi Skater!
I have just two questions:
-Is Oboro Youtuden (Last Vanillaware Project for Wii) getting localized here in Europe?
-What about Viewtiful Joe III on Wii?
Thanks in Advance!
nameless1:
1) It's not in actual development yet.
2) There's a new mini-game, that's all I know of.
3) Dunno.
hero of legend:
1) Looks similar to the last one. PS2 is baseline.
2) I'm sure the character models might look a tad different, but nothing really radical.
3) Looks like it.
By the way, to admit a mistake: This is the same game as the handheld one I mentioned a while ago. Sorry, I only caught a glimpse of the release list mentioning it, hence, my incomplete info. Dimps is also not involved.
TheSameOld:
1) The publisher and platforms are a surprise, but I will say that the game looks pretty amazing.
cruizd:
Folklore 2 is possible. I haven't heard about any more DLC.
Anon One:
It doesn't live up to it's potential. Hence, disappointing.
pawel:
1) Nope, but it's still coming.
2) Not full remakes. More like "enhanced ports."
3) No, Parasite Eve 3 is a mobile phone game.
4) June or July.
5) Don't think so.
Your English is very nice, by the way! :)
MrGoomba:
1) Pikmin 3 is happening, probably not this year though. Controls will involve pointing at things with the Wiimote.
2) Haven't seen it, sorry.
3) PilotWings could still happen.
4) Probably.
Anon Two:
1) Not for a while. Rogue Galaxy 2 first, it seems.
2) Not really much better than the other Spyros of late.
3) Probably.
1000:
That aquisition is not guaranteed. More music-y puzzle and action games, at least. They're also publishing a dreadful-looking MMO called Angels Online.
Microsoft is not so much "tinkering," as they are "expanding the franchise."
Anon Three:
Not the original. Dead Rising 2 is a yes, though.
pointman_4000:
A) I'd love to know, myself.
B) Don't think so; not a direct one, anyways. Arika does have a history of SCUBA games, though, so a follow-up is possible.
C) Definitely won't totally suck, but won't necessarily totally rock, either. They have 4 more months to polish it, now.
D) Nope, sorry.
satoshi:
PC-exclusive, yes.
Anon Four:
Oddworld Inhabitants (the developer of the series) has left the videogame business, and is now a CGI movie studio, working on some full-length feature films which should find their way into theaters. They will eventually make movies based on Oddworld.
Anon Five:
There will be some content. Characters are very possible.
Anon Six:
1) Yes.
2) As in, a direct sequel to the SNES original? No, not planned.
3) You should be able to just hop into the game, usually. Friends Codes will be necessary for some things.
4) Dunno the tracklist, DLC is doubtful.
5) Pretty much.
6) Highly unlikely.
7) Yes, but it may get the axe before it's even unveiled.
8) Donkey Kong hasn't been performing too well lately, commercially. It'll be a while.
9) "Summer" is the most detailed info I have
10) Yes.
Anon Seven:
Earthbound will be on VC. No idea about Mother 3. There will almost certainly not be another Mother game.
1000:
Dunno, I'd have to look into it.
Anon Eight:
1) Probably.
2) Viewtiful Joe is dormant right now, unfortunatly.
Thanks for reply, you clearly made my day with this infos ;) :)
So, if PE3 is mobile phone exclusive, will we ever see new Parasite Eve on consoles?
And question about these enchanced ports. Which game has the most percent of porting, and which console. Any infos, or just speculations?
pawel:
PE3 is a mobile phone exclusive. There might be another one on consoles, but I wouldn't bet the farm on it.
S-E will bring a number of old games to PSN. They'll probably be the same as the other downloadable PS1 games on PSN, meaning that S-E doesn't have to do much work to make it happen. If you have the original games, you have little reason to look forward to the PSN versions.
Activision is the new EA, beware. EA wants us to think they're cool with this System Shock stuff and all this "boo hoo, we're sorry for Bullfrog, Westwood" hogwash, don't let your guard down (I didn't forget about Oddworld)), watch so they don't attack your weak point for mass effect.
I wish they'd hurry up with the XBLA port of Dessert Strike. mmmmmmm dessert
