What I know...

- It has a new name... No I do not know it.. but it's not going to be called Eight days no more.

- It is not going to be a digital distributed game as previously thought. I.E. 1 day is a chapter released over a set period of time on the PSN. They might do this, but they have a full retail version.

- The release date is set for October of 08

- The game takes place across 8 different states and 8 days.

- You play as 1 of 2 characters... both have their own story line and both have their own abilities and specialties and what not. 1 character is a bad guy... The other a good guy. The bad guy is out for revenge on his former mob team who left him out to dry and the other is a detective who's son has been kidnapped by the mod syndicate. The two join up to get revenge or what ever.

- The animation system is like nothing you've ever seen. It even rivals that of Uncharted if you go off the dev's.

- It'll be the 1st game to ever implement Google mapper into it's core mechanics.

- The game has real time day to night. If you play at night, the game will be set at night. If you play in the day... It'll be played in the day. So forth and so on.

- The game pushes you on instead of back... The game is so expansive that you literally have no time to go back. It's all forward and you'll never revist a location. You're constantly on the move. That doesn't mean you can't go back the way you came, it just means you're better off going on your way as time and meeting new people is crucial and setting up new events leads to your ultimate goal.

for instance, if you miss a contact in "said" location and town... you'll have to try and catch up to them before its too late.

They said... Think of it as an action [movie]. A non stop ride from start to finish. We want you always moving and going and not expecting what's next.

I've got some more to post about it so I'll come back to it but I really wanted to post this info so there ya go. Look for the offical statement in the coming weeks... I'm so jacked about this game, even more than I was.

This is going to be the defining game for the Ps3 and next gen gaming as a whole... WOW!

Microsuck will announce an add on for the xbox 360 this week at GDC or shortly after.. The add on will enable you to play blu-rays thru the xbox 360.

With GDC beginning in just a few days, I've noticed a jump in threads about crazy rumors. While posting rumors is totally OK and actually encouraged, it would be nice if you could check your sources before you post them.

There are sites out there that exist simply to make shit up and stir the pot, and they are pretty easy to spot. So if you get a rumor from somewhere else, check that site; it shouldn't take long to do. You can gauge a site's credibility pretty easily just by checking a few other articles they've posted. If you see some megaton about Microsoft buying Sega at some website, and then on the same page you see an editorial called "Why Nintendo Wii is for fat losers", they probably aren't too credible and you might want to skip on posting your newly found megaton. If not for the sake of good journalism, do it for your own reputation and ability to make new threads.

That is all.
