Mock if Old ect.

Official Xbox Editor Jon Hicks has told CVG that the mag will next month reveal the return of a "substantial franchise" - as an Xbox exclusive.

The Next Month page of the latest issue of UK magazine says a 'gaming classic' is set to return, as you can see here:

Its probably going to be Hydro Thunder or something from Rare.

Then again -

Hicks told us: "It's a very substantial franchise and it's going to be a very big surprise. A good one, though - we're really looking forward to it."

Is Hydro Thunder a ''Substantial Franchise''?

 

[V_Ben]

Killer Instinct


or yeah, probably hydro thunder.

 

[Gravijah]

SHIT IT'S THAT ONE GAME THAT EVERYONE LOVED

 

[Dacvak]

The new hydro thunder is really awesome, if that's what it is.

 

[Rollo Lawson]

ok. this hardy boy mystery guess-what-we're-about-to-announce shtick is annoying already.

 

[SPEA]

OMG RESIDENT EVIL 5 EXCLUSIVE!

Spoiler

[Princess Skittles]

Jet Force Gemini EXTREME!

 

[Shapingo]

Rumors are Valkyrie Profile.

 

[Hot Coldman]

Substantial... substance... Metal Gear... OH SHIZ-NIZZLE :O

 

[Dascu]

Rumors are Valkyrie Profile.

That's not a substantial franchise at all.

 

[A Twisty Fluken]

Only one franchise can truly be SUBSTANTIAL enough to live up to that billing.

 

[Jazzy Network]

Rumors are Valkyrie Profile.

Errrrrr...

 

[BobTheFork]

It has to be a HD Solar Jet Man remake.

That would be fucking substantial!!!

 

[Cday]

Diablo III

 

[I AM JOHN!]

Killer Instinct.

 

[atkbob]

Resident Evil 5

Edit: fuck

 

[Dragon]

That's not a substantial franchise at all.

Nor does it make any sort of sense as an exclusive. But then again, this gen has a been a bit weird in that department anyway.

 

[Segata Sanshiro]

[thetechkid]

Kingdom Hearts, You know it's true!

 

[Dizzy-4U]

Rumors are Valkyrie Profile.

Unreal Engine for VP? Not sure if want =/

 

[Swittcher]

BELIEVE!!!!

 

[Oli]

Why are people really thinking that Nintendo is going to give Microsoft one of their franchises? :lol

Just because they sold Rare to them doesn't mean they are going to hand over their long developed franchises.

Spoiler

And no, Banjo does not count, since that was Rare's baby.

 

[Kyoufu]

Rumors are Valkyrie Profile.

Dude, just think about what you're saying.

 

[Haunted]

"Very substantial franchise" reads like B... maybe C-tier.

If it would be anything even approaching A-tier material, it'd be OMG THE BIGGEST THING EVER.

 

[Raide]

Dudebro!

 

[FrankT]

Is Hydro Thunder a ''Substantial Franchise''?

Not really considering this has already been shown.

Killer Instinct.

Possible and if they do announce this before E3 this would have me believe they are quite confident with their E3 showing after this and Gears 3.

Although as in very substantial this may not fit the bill either. Who knows.

 

[Four_Chamber]

Once again, I will reiterate my hate of announcements of announcement especially when they use fuckin ambiguous terms like "substantial"

These threads are entertaining though

 

[REMEMBER CITADEL]

Anyway, I already stated my opinion in the other thread, but maybe it's something to be revealed at Capcom's Captivate event? The timing seems about right.

 

[ClovingWestbrook]

Resident Evil 4?

 

[Haunted]

Not really considering this has already been shown.

In a magazine?

Don't forget that the internet and the real world don't exist for magazine exclusives.

 

[Riptwo]

If I had any power in the videogame industry whatsoever, I would spearhead the development of a new River City Ransom. In reality, however, I have no influence at all. I'm sorry.

 

[adriano999]

Gears of war 3

 

[Chrange]

It's probably Rocket Knight lol

 

[V_Ben]

Dudebro!

The dudebro team doesn't comment on rumour or speculation :lol

 

[BarrenMind]

Jak & Daxter

 

[Dead Prince]

from what i gathered it's a LIPs game. Natal support. will be called Body.

 

[Dali]

Yeah, it's probably something Rare. Meaning it was substantial, but now nobody cares.

As long as it's not ZOE3 I expect little response from this announcement.

 

[Gunstarheroes]

I want it to be Timesplitters 4. I know it in my head to be false, but in my heart, i long.

 

[WickedLaharl]

Unreal Engine for VP? Not sure if want =/

why would tri-ace use unreal when they already have an engine this gen? or is this suppose to be a joke post?

 

[Kade]

Phantom Dust 2 please.

 

[FrostuTheNinja]

Well, since this is going to turn into a wild speculation thread, I'll put in the game that I've been wanting a sequel to for 20+ years...

Spoiler

It was never substantial nor a franchise.

 

[ShogunX]

It's probably Rocket Knight lol

Isn't that PSN also though?
