Eventually? That's a certainty.

At the moment? I'd be very surprised.....


That is what people are missing. 'making' could mean a ton of things. 'Making' could mean they have a white board full of ideas up right now and 2 years from now they will actually start programming.

Is everyone actually complaining about the rumors in the magazine? Thats pretty bad.
Yes, because the OP gave us jack shit when it comes to info from the interviews and Skate 2, and rumors are one of the more interesting things EGM does.

When they're rumours you've pulled out of a hat rather than some hint at insider info... yeah, I'm complaining.

[Edit... not you, obviously - you know what I mean. :D ]
Is there not a rumor of Bungie going multi-platform going around?
 
Why is everyone complaining about the rumors? Would you idiots rather they just made shit up to appease you? Christ, you people.

Now post the damn Skate 2 information! >:|

Ooooooh, extreme fun! Video game journalism at its finest! But is that better than awesome fun or extremely fun?

So he only has mangod superpower when it favours your arguments huh? Pretty weak imo.

Shane hasn't had powers for a long while. It is like Meteor Man. Shane touched a rock to lose his powers, then Garnett gained them from that same rock. Garnett wouldn't abuse his powers like that.

How many pages are there?

100.

The interviews aren't anything that interesting. Sakaguchi talks about his time at Square and how it was like when he started. Itagaki talks about choosing the 360 because it was easier to develop for and that he is spending his time now drinking, gambling, taking pictures and building model trains.

I don't think you're understanding what they're saying. They're not saying that the game is fun to an extreme degree, but that the game is EXTREME!!! *crazy camer movements* fun.

God damn gaming journalists. They know what we want to hear. FUCKING ASK THE QUESTIONS. IF YOU GET BLOWN OFF, ASK AGAIN.

Details: Cry On, LO2, future projects... Motherfuckers.

I don't remember where, but I thought I remembered reading where EGM admits they make up some of the rumors and sprinkle in some stuff they really think is happening.

I think the whole Player One crew has copped to quartermann BS at one time or another during their time at EGM.
 
Hey Skip, any idea of when 1UP Show is or Yours is going up?

Player One has confessed to a lot of awesome stuff, like the three or four-man reviews actually written by one person sometimes. :lol

Everything sounds fantastic except that last one. I was hoping for a new city. Hopefully it's not too similar, seeing as I've already thrashed San Vanelona for upwards of 200 hours.

some awesome nitpicking happening here. SUMMER DOLDRUMS.

We're right though, you know that Skip.

Those rumors are ass, and if that Gooch interview doesn't mention future projects, then it fails as well.

I mean, I'm sure it's a good read, but everyone is wondering what the hell Mistwalker is really doing right now.

And it's bloody hot in Florida.

Yeah, I'd like to see them get the formula right before turning it into Tony Hawk: Armageddon.

I'm talking about the thrilling extreme vs. extremely debate.

The on foot stuff is the only thing i'm worried about. I knew it'd be in it but the way Tony Hawk did it just worries me. TH's on foot movement was so damn horrible. So hopefully they'll give proper weight to the skate.2 characters.

Or at the very least hint at some, come one where's cry-on.

Anyways, wasn't Banjo kazooie confirmed to use the stop and swap?
Based on what they've said on past EGM Lives and GFW Radios, this issue was probably finished around the time the Killzone issue hit newsstands. So yeah, we know almost all of these rumors are true, but they were still rumors when it was written.

The problem with Tony Hawk's on foot stuff is that it's absolutely pointless and the "tricks" you can do on-foot are ridiculously stupid. Besides, I'd think Skate 2 would add proper weight to the movement because it's more of a realistic game – Tony Hawk isn't.
