الاشاعات كثيرة ماراح اقدر اترجمها يبغالي وقت
Nintendo: Wii Launch
* Will be announced in Japan on 9/14. It is imagined that this will coincide with press party on 9/14 in NY(since the time difference). (Note: After Loki attended the sales event, this was confirmed by other media outlets)
* 100% confirmed to be a November launch.
* Will be a worldwide launch
* Lack of product may delay launch past PS3 launch but it will be before Thanksgiving.
* Nintendo is spending about $30M on marketing for the Wii (twice of what the GameCube was).
* There will be a ton of street crews for the Wii. Not going to have in store kiosks. Not certain on that. (Note: We realize this contradicts an earlier kiosk screenprint floating around the internet. We're not sure why there is such a blatent contradiction ourselves. If you listen to the show, we theorize that perhaps there's a change in the kiosk strategy that was mis-interpreted)
* DVD VIDEO PLAYER is an add-on is not included with the Wii (like the XBOX was)
* Blitz: The League is cancelled for the Wii
Konami
* Winning 11 Pro Evolution 2007 not an XBOX 360 exclusive. The reason there is no PS3 is because they haven't gotten the final dev kits yet. My rep says it will probably be released on the PS3 as late as May.
* Castlevania Portrait Of Ruin delayed until early December. (This contradicts what we were told at Konami BBQ, but is certianly feasible)
* All the song packs from the ultramix series will be transferable to universe (Loki asked twice to confirm this when he mentioned it, still uncertain about that though. Loki thinks the rep may have been confusing Ultramix 4 with Universe, but still…)
Activision
* Activision says the next Guitar Hero after 2 will be on the XBOX 360.
* Activision says the PS3 online service will not be free. (Rumor?)
Sega
* No charge for online aspect of PSU on XBOX 360. There will be a monthly fee for PS2 and PC users.
* Sonic: Secret Of The Rings for Wii coming Mar. ’07 (not at launch)
* No Full Auto 2 for the XBOX 360 at all. The first one did not sell well so they will not be making a sequel for the XBOX 360.
Lucas Arts:
* Wii Star Wars game in development now but will not be done until late 2007 or early 2008. They want to get it right they said that is why there isn’t anything at launch.
* Next-Gen Star Wars game coming Q4 of 2007
* Next-Gen Indiana Jones game will be launched at the release of the new movie (which is confirmed to be in preproduction)
D3:
* D3’s first next gen game Dark Sector will be coming Fall 2007.
Vivendi:
* Funny bit of trivia: The voice actor for Tony Montana in Scarface is Al Pachino’s driver. Apparently Al Pachino can no longer do Tony’s voice due to his age.
Ubisoft:
* GT will ship with a Steering Wheel add-on for the Wii controller.
* New Prince Of Persia coming for the PSP. It will be based on the Two Thrones game and will feature multiplayer content and new Chariot Races. Working title was just Prince Of Persia at the moment.
Koei:
* Bladestorm: Hundred Year War Q1 2007, not at launch
* Guitaro Man Lives: Online play and new songs.
* New Romance Of The Three Kingdoms for PS2 coming Q1 - Q2 2007.
Microsoft:
* XBOX 360 - NO PRICE DROPS, NO BUNDLES. Infact he mentioned that the Canada office works a bit independent of the US office and that they didn’t know Canada was doing a bundle. Much hate mail was exchanged.
* Gears Of War comes out November 7th. Not street dated. Emergence Day is November 12th. That is when the big advertising push happens, not the release of the game.
* Halo 3 set to come out March or April of 2007. Not Fall 2007.
* The $79.99 vision camera bundle will replace the 12 month Live bundle that is available now.
Atari:
* Alone In The Dark set for mid 2007. They’re not releasing it until it’s perfect. It will be episodic.
* Test Drive: Unlimited will be getting new download packs each month. This is planned so far until June of next year. The 1st two packs will be Lexus cars. No word if these will be free (but he said Lexus paid 250K for the cars to be in the game). The packs will range from FREE - $7.99 (or the Microsoft point equivalent of that)
