As far as Retro is concerned, I want Thunder Rally before they bring back Raven Blade. (if...) Sorry but I love car combat games that was the coolest looking ever. And Retro was making it..

Factor 5 are third party. They are a part of Lucasarts, but have a very good working relationship with Nintendo. They have made codecs for the Cube for video compression, and also made Rogue Squadron: Rogue Leader, a very good game too. They have a project in development, but no details have been released as yet.
Silicon Knights are a Nintendo second party. They were bought out somewhere around 2000, when Eternal Darkness showed great promise. I haven't heard any news of a new project, which most people are hoping is Too Human, a game that was shelved so Eternal Darkness could be the focus of the company.
Free Radical Design is a third party, owned by Eidos. There is little chance they will be bought out by someone, unless Sony or Microsoft are looking to shell out for one game every two to three years.
Star Fox: Armada as the mystery game? I reckon Nintendo will start to hype up F-Zero AC/GC before that happens.
My money is on news about the Mario Kart/Tennis/Golf franchises. Some screens or video to make us happy. These games are a given, its just a matter of when.

You and a lot of people.
Capcom probably won't *ever* touch Powerstone again, though. They throw lots of stuff at a wall to see what sticks, and Powerstone did not, for some reason or another.

Of course this would be SSBM style, not the Capcom vs. SNK style
(P.S. what does SNK stand for?)

Maybe a Nintendo vs Capcom, Link vs Ryu
or megaman vs samus, or Donkey Kong vs Zangief???, that will be amazing but impossible to see in the next 10 years

He was probable talking about the Factor 5 or Silicon Knights game, but it seems the announcement was pushed back to E3.

I've got a question. It doesn't really pertain to this topic, but kind of. I've always wondered about the status of Factor 5. I mean, most of the games they make they release for Nintendo systems then maybe on PC, but rarely, if even, on other consoles. Why don't they just go 2nd party?
The LucasArts connection. If they left LucasArts to join Nintendo, they wouldn't be in such a good position to work on Star Wars projects. Sure, it'd be great to get original franchises from them, but it would end up being in lieu of, instead of in addition to, good SW games.

Maybe I just like D&D action RPG type games. Hell, I would even buy the old Capcom arcade D&D (Towers of Mystra...or something like that. I don't remember) games if they made it for the cube. Those were fun games.

The reason that they don't have Nintendo football is because some characters would be obviously more apt than others, and that it only appeals to Americans. Golf and tennis are more international. If anything, I see soccer coming next, if it hasn't already.

No, Factor 5 is completely independant, but maintains a strong relationship with Lucasarts and Nintendo.

Free Radical Design is also completely independant. Eidos published Timesplitters 1 and 2, that's all. Their next project probably wont be published by Eidos.

I hope you realize how contradictory that statement is. If your major argument is that being bought by Nintendo would limit their potential sales, why would being bought by Sony or Microsoft be any different?

Silicon Knights is partially owned by Nintendo, unless an abrupt fall-out occurs don't expect to see any of their games to appear on other consoles. Factor 5 is fairly loyal to Nintendo, the chances of their next title being multi-platform are very low.

Factor 5 is close to Lucasarts, and use the Star Wars license quite a bit, as you can see. One of the main reasons, if not the only, is that it might affect their relationship with Lucasarts. Nintendo and Factor 5 are already very close anyway, their status for all practical purposes is 2nd party.

On the off chance that you haven't heard, it's very likely Nintendo will display a new Earthbound title at E3.

The chances of their next game being multiplatform are very small.
(plus didn't they make the gamecube sound development tools?)

It would have to be a surprise game ANNOUNCEMENT, if anything.
Post by: PaLaDiN on March 05, 2003, 06:18:30 AM
You'd have to be pretty stupid to think a secret game was coming out this month.
Just something to think about... what's the absolute minimum time before a game's release that it can be kept secret?
Post by: Gharakh on March 05, 2003, 06:20:38 AM
there was a comment about HAL not working on a lot of games at once, but i heard they have recently grown so they can take on more games at once. hopefully we see something from them come E3 as well. i can't even begin to imagine what it would be like to see something from Silicon knights, factor 5, HAL, and all the nintendo games at E3 this year.
