The good news, it's being developed by Headstrong Games (formally known as Kuju), the same people that did the two Battalion Wars games.  So we know there's a big chance of it being actually good.

When the **** is tommarrow?

Just joking dude. It is Kuju, so I hope it's good or a battalion wars type of game.

Even I don't know.

It's to the left.

You know, I hope this project is worthy of Kuju's talent.

Hopes: Sonic the Hedgehog 4 (2D)
Fears: Sonic Wars FPS



Probably will end up with: "Sonic the Hedgehog 4; WAR TIME" a 2d FPS raping my childhood

[Bill Aurion]

It's a new House of the Dead...

[NinGurl69 *huggles]

Real Time Zombie Strategy Horror.

Direct your zombies to terrorize animal civilizations and collect Chaos Emeralds.

[Bill Aurion]

Sonic Team isn't making the game, silly...

[NinGurl69 *huggles]

Yuji Naka = surprise director

official title: Director of Surprises

Headstrong is based in London, but Naka will be operating in Ireland as he chases LEPRECHAUNS.

Kuju also did the DS port of Geometry Wars Galaxies (or did they do the whole Galaxies stuff?)

[Bill Aurion]

I'm pretty sure Kuju added all the new content themselves...

[Mario]

Kuju developed the Wii and DS verions of Geometry Wars Galaxies.

More details, Matt IGN sez he's known about the game for "more than a year", and that "Wii owners will be pleased". Could a HotD title really take so long to develop? Regardless this sounds like a MEGATON, and my hopes are VERY HIGH! In fact i'm setting money aside for the game right now. Wow can't wait. Just over 10 hours and we'll know! E3 was nothing.

Since Matt has known about it could it be Kid Icarus? ZOmg. He said it's "not Zelda" which means it's another BIG Nintendo franchise! Or a new game, or BOTH. Wow the excitement is in the air.

[Adrock]

Not getting my hopes up..... I'll take anything "as long as it doesn't suck."

I tend to remain pessimistic about ANY Sega game. Then again it could be Mario/Sonic RPG!

[Mario]

Ok I have figured out what the game is. I'm 100% sure about this, it makes way too much sense. It's a Super Monkey Ball RTS. Use Monkey Balls to infiltrate the enemy territory, bowl enemies over with them, fill Monkeys Balls with some kind of poison gas then shoot them as catapults so the ball shatters death into enemy land.

You could have Monkey Target type controls dropping Monkey Balls out of planes and helicopters. Normal gameplay could be simple FPS style, Monkey Wars style. As the commander you can also throw Monkey Balls "Boom Blox" style at objects and enemies to make things happen and transform the environment to advance. Once inside an enemy base you have to tilt a Monkey Ball around a maze to press a button that destroys the place, killing that Monkey Ball, but all the other Monkey Balls celebrate and upbeat Banana Blitz style music plays. Features co-op WiFi battle and minigames. Definitely looking forward to playing with you guys.

It's the time when we start unvealing, ie, throwing up after eating veal.

[ShyGuy]

Rumor is that it is Capcom vs. Tatsunoko


edit: I think that was a Freudian slip

It's not being made by Sega though.  Sega is just the publisher who's funding the project.  The actual game is being done by Headstrong who was formally known as Kuju, who was responsible for both Battalion Wars games.  So there's a good chance the game will turn out pretty well.

Hmmm, that news definitely makes me more optimistic.

Wouldn't it be ironic if, Sega, of all companies delivered the megaton game that Nintendo should have announced at E3?

It's not really ironic Sega is treating the Wii like Dreamcast 2 my bet is Jet Grind Radio.

Malstrom already complained about a "certain person at IGN" pulling stuff out of his ass (or did before E3 at least).

Dammit, I really want Panzer Dragoon. It would be perfect
