GumShu eh? Bloody eh? Afternoon eh? Could this be sweet ol' Shigeru's new IP??

I don't get it why the XBOX controller links?

HereticPB · « **Reply #2 on:** September 14, 2005, 01:23:15 AM »

Some people might see that controller under that arrowed circle where it says software and think its an xbox controller.

Fake for many reasons, but one that I can point out by looking at the text, it's sort of slanted up and down and not straight, that's the result of skewing in Photoshop. Plus games don't have subtitles straight away. Also there's no backstory or anything to this pic, what is it? Who took it? More like who made it. Why is the date from the future, is this guy a time traveller?

This does have me frothing over what the Rev interface will be though.

er...well I don't know.

For one thing, Mario, the date's clearly 8-19. Unless you're from the past or something. o_o

And another...well, GC Advanced's 2.0 teaser page has arrows that look extremely similar to the ones over the controller...

Dasmos · « **Reply #5 on:** September 14, 2005, 03:15:54 AM »

The part that sadden me the most is it say it's 1 player...

Mario · « **Reply #6 on:** September 14, 2005, 03:31:32 AM »

Oh whoops I thought it said 9, not 8. yes, that will do.

Either way it's fake

BigJim · « **Reply #7 on:** September 14, 2005, 03:53:38 AM »

"Looking around the net and the blogs, I come across a strange picture..."

Well that passes the test of credibility.

This thread is mean... When I read "A Rev Leak?" I was all like '!!!!!!WHOOOO!!!!!!!', then I read, saw the picture...man...what a let down.

I'm going for real. Anyone notice the "blue light " on the controller?

Spak-Spang · « **Reply #10 on:** September 14, 2005, 04:29:14 AM »

Nile: I noticed the Blue light and it makes me say fake. Reason. The controller looks exactly like another fake on the internet.

The boomerang shaped one, with the glowing buttons and such. This looks like an extention of that fake controller.

Nile Boogie · « **Reply #11 on:** September 14, 2005, 04:42:07 AM »

I remember the fake you're speaking of but a while ago I said that the controller would have a "blue light with a special feature" so I'm just clinging on to some of my bias of prediction rather than being objective like I should be. Look kinda official to my untrained eye.

NotSoStu · « **Reply #12 on:** September 14, 2005, 05:52:53 AM »

It's possibly real, but frankly, I just can't see that type of game on a Nintendo console

Fro · « **Reply #13 on:** September 14, 2005, 06:17:50 AM »

If this is a fake, it's a *really, really* good one. The text is slanted because of the angle the picture is taken at.

Also the guy in the shadows looks an awful lot like George Harrison from Nintendo. The focus is also right (when you change the lighting in photoshop, he is fairly clear while the screen in the back is somewhat blurry).

It'd be very possible for someone to non-discretely snap this on a cellphone, pass it around to a few buddies and have it leak out (or be leaked out on purpose by Nintendo).

And "GumShu: Bloody Afternoon" sounds like a game Shiggy would make if he got instructions to make a "more adult franchise".

Toruresu · « **Reply #14 on:** September 14, 2005, 06:46:02 AM »

Does anyone know what does GumShu mean? I looked it up at Google and got a LOT of responses...

Nile Boogie · « **Reply #15 on:** September 14, 2005, 07:07:35 AM »

Gumshoe: A privite detective. There was a nintendo game long ago on the NES by this same name. Produced by guess who?

If this isn't real , IT'S THE BEST FAKE I HAVE EVER SEEN.

pay close attenion

The controller looks like it's being viewed head-on. Due to the angle of the picture it should be more "slanty".

Plus that shape looks so damn unergonomic. It's got that bulky design that board executives who have never used a controller in their life come up with. Since the SNES Nintendo has had very ergonomic controllers and I imagine they would stick with that. Unless it's a Revolution in discomfort.

But then since the controller is being obscured by that arrow maybe it's just a placeholder so that Sony and MS don't steal their precious idea.

That game though sounds pretty damn creative for some one to just make up for a hoax. Usually with these fake rumours the games are sequels to existing franchises or generic clones of competing games (ie: a Halo or GTA clone). I can't think of a typical fanboy who would make up a mature detective game. Though I'm not sure if the spelling is Engrish or the typical "I'm going to make a fake Rev screen but I'm a dolt who can't spell" routine.

Why do people even humor these things?

Toruresu · « **Reply #19 on:** September 14, 2005, 08:21:22 AM »

Anything important on that date? 8/19/05?

It also says "Revolution/Nintendo, 2005"

As Nile pointed out, this is a existing franchise, akin to the revamp of Kid Icarus fakes. It's just this one isn't well known.

"Anything important on that date? 8/19/05?"

I believe that conference in Germany was held during that time.

Nile Boogie · « **Reply #22 on:** September 14, 2005, 08:42:32 AM »

Oops!

Nile Boogie · « **Reply #23 on:** September 14, 2005, 08:43:54 AM »

"Why do people even humor these things?"

Because sometimes even rumors have merit. I'll bet a six pack of__________ on this that if it's not entirely true it contains at least some substance. Any takers?

Hostile Creation · « **Reply #24 on:** September 14, 2005, 08:53:01 AM »

Jones soda!

But I'm not actually so influenced by either side that I'm willing to bet about it, alas
