I mean the title is basically an ign title trying to get more page hits, claiming that it is true, but he kind of uses double-talk within the article itself. Not sure.

Honestly, I don't know. I guess it's up to the mods. What he reveals could be something that was just concept and didn't materialize into an actual game. We won't know until E3 or even after E3, though, he does seem to try traffic to his site through his wording.

How do you know that?

He has insider information.

There will be nothing more lame than all of the people who will whine and complain when Paul Gale says Retro is working on Star Fox.

Yeah, maybe some of you know what it's like and if you do, you know the pressure of putting something up, it being fake in the end, and people saying you suck as a result...lol.

But whatever, you know if I say something is real, I mean it. Title Fight = PlayStation All-Stars Battle Royale was real as I provided evidence from the start, Street Fighter IV back in the day...same thing, Skyrim and The Last of Us, check and mate.

Ok then there's the Kojima "taboo" game that went haywire but it seemed too crazy not to share. And with TMNT Manhattan Crisis, how could I not share that one!? It was way too cool of a story to pass up on, even if I had my own doubts from the very beginning.

Me saying in April, 2011 that Retro Studios was making a title that "everyone wants them to do" was a fact, but I had ZERO clue as to what it was. Heck, I was kind of wishing for something along the lines of Nintendo's own Perfect Dark-like first person shooter that would be fresh and unique yet be able to compete with the likes of Halo 4 and Call of Duty.

We all have our own wishes and if what I got is true, I'll personally be very excited to see it myself. Do I have my reservations? Absolutely, it's why I'm labeling it a rumor and am trying not to get too wrapped up in it all of it.

Still, the gamer in me, the friend of my fellow internet gamers in you, and so on just can't help but want to share the joy of thinking of what this game could look like and play like, and that's why I'm putting it up. :)

It's not an existing IP. Also I think it could appeal to quite a few people as people like new experiences.
Plus, I think retro has made a name for themselves within the gamer community of making top of the line shit. Personally, I can't wait for this rumor, retro are gods in my book. So hyped

I'm hoping for something wildly creative and T-rated. Not a bullshit T like Twilight Princess, but a premise where gravity of things is just enough to solidly escape E10+.

He's making this seem like it's legit, last-minute, insider's info though, or at least that's how it's portrayed through the article. I guess you're right though.

I wish that Nintendo also announces new 2nd parties as well as new partnerships. This generation is highly depending on the cool titles..

How sure are you in this rumor?

I understand it's a rumor, and it should be taken with a pinch of salt.

But you said you don't report on 90 percent of the stuff you hear because a lot of it is bullshit. So I'm guessing this is something you have confidence in being real from a reliable source?

I get all that, and understand that it's interesting to share, but sometimes it's better not to share things unless you're fairly certain, because people who do that end up having a bad track record overall, and then when the real stuff does come out, it's a boy who cried wolf type of deal. Will you at least say if you think your source is trustworthy?

Either way, I'm definitely interested.
 
He has insider information.

Only partially in this case. ShockingAlberto gave us the first indication. Li Mu Bai later gave more affirmation on a different board and I spoke with him privately on it.

Totally agree. And at the other end of the spectrum not over the top to where it's pushing M-rated as well.

http://paulgalenetwork.com/home/201...-rumored-huge-wii-u-nintendo-published-title/

Later on Saturday, May 19th...I've decided to go ahead and share with everyone the rumored Retro Studios title in development. Believe me, the last thing I want to do is fill the internet with more hopes and dreams that eventually get crushed and that's why I choose not to put up 90% of the crap I get.

Once in a while however, something is just too cool not to share and has a decent possibility backing it up. Add to that, the fact that the Retro Studios story emulated from Paul Gale Network in April, 2011 and I feel that I at least owe the story that I've uncovered, the "chance" and it being real.

I'm calling it a rumor when I reveal it tomorrow and can't stress that point enough. Still, I'll tell you at NeoGAF now that if true, it's quite freakin' exceptional.

Nice! Now I have to decide if I abandon Neogaf until E3 now as it sounds like a rather large piece of news I might want to hear there. :)

It would be funny if Paul Gale's rumor sounds fucking amazing, and then E3 comes, and it's something totally different and everyone gets disappointed lol.

I know he calls it a rumor, but a lot of people will probably hope his rumor is true going into E3.

It's like you've read my mind. I couldn't come up with a better idea if Retro Studios said, "Paul, you tell us what to make and we'll make it." What I received is absolutely bitchin' in my opinion. My heart even sunk a bit and got a little chill when I first heard it cuz it's so damn cool.

It's one of those things that I'm looking at just from a gamer's point of view and would die to play this game. But it's weird at the same time. Let me ask you all something.

Any of you watch UFC or any team sport for that matter? Have you ever wanted a fighter or team to win so badly, and I mean, so so badly [and not like you have anything to gain from them winning (not counting money)] that when they lose you're so devastated and pissed off and think that you might be the reason to blame...for jinxing him/her/them?

Yeah, I felt this way when I read the rumor and have been feeling it for a week now. It sucks but at the same time gets my really hyped beyond belief.

Nah, it's just a rumor. No need to go into spoiler mode. :)

Holy shit. That sounds like a freaking powerful rumor.

I was thinking the same. I want this E3 to be amazing and if it turns out to be Nintendo's biggest surprise of the show, I would rather hear it then. Decisions, decisions.

Only partially in this case. ShockingAlberto gave us the first indication. Li Mu Bai later gave more affirmation on a different board and I spoke with him privately on it.
Thanks for clarifying. Wonder what it can be.

Are these people that are claiming to know stuff (besides Paul Gale) people we know that are in the industry, like with real names attached? If not, then why not just say everything you know?

So you're saying that this project is still consistent with a project "everyone wants Retro to do", despite it sounding like it's not from an existing IP?

Nintendo Ninjas do not need their names in order to hunt them down. They would rather not put their life at stake for something that will be revealed in the upcoming few weeks.

I had a bit of this feeling during the last summer olympics. An american athlete lost gold on his last shot of a handgun competition because his gun misfired. All he needed was a hit on the target basically to win it. Sad part was that the same thing happened 4 years prior and he lost gold, but that loss was how he meet his wife. Anyway, i would think about that loss constantly and random times for the next 2 months and it would effect me in a very strange way. To be so close to something amazing and have it not pan out.

The game is targeted for the PS360 crowd. Other than specific IPs mentioned as not being the game, the remaining Nintendo IPs not mentioned wouldn't fit this idea.

Why do I keep thinking it's Mach Rider? There was a rumor about a Mach Rider Unchained game that was gritty and dark.

Im glad you actually know something about what its vision could be. It would give us alot of comfort to have you officially recognize this rumor as plausible or not.

Kudos for giving more hints than the devil himself Paul Gale.

Even though I don't buy anyones' claims.

Still interested in hearing them though:p
