At the earliest.

"We're hoping to post a story around noon tomorrow, maybe earlier" - Doug

"The story won't be up until tomorrow -- Friday, March 3, around noon PST at the earliest" - Doug

And in the same post no less. IGN self-confusion strikes again.

Where is the confusion?

It will come out at or before noon, unless it comes out later. See? Simple. :D

I would shoot myself. I have a 360 and enjoy it, but Zelda on anything but a nintendo system would force me to shoot myself.

it's silly to entertain this, and I know you're not serious... but why would it matter where Zelda ended up, provided it was the same Zelda game? Why would that makes you "shoot [yourself]"?

Gut reaction. I like my nintendo systems. It's my decaying mortal coil hoping to cling to a material thread common to my childhood.
 
it's silly to even concider the thought of Zelda on a Microsoft platform.

come on, be realistic. this game announcement might be a surprise but its not going to be THAT earthshattering.

For Perfect Dark 2, they need to go for a realistic look/serious tone/back to the kinda enemies you saw in the original, bring back her accent, kill her father off, kill off that girl who talks her through the levels, and bring back the challenges.

What the hell? Did you just play the first level or soemthing?

Alrighty, just think it's silly to have such an over-the-top investment in the console choice behind the games we love.
 
See, now people have made it this Fridayton thing that no realistic announcement could ever measure up to. Then people will bitch at IGN for overhyping this, when in reality that's purely the fault of us message board clowns.

Of course it's silly. It's just a gut reaction towards my eternal love for Nintendo as a company. Would I get over it? Hell yea. I have an Xbox. Would I pissed at first? Yeah, definitely.

And the thing is everyone in this thread has said from the beginning, "I doubt this will be a big deal at all," yet this thread is still numero uno on GAF today. Why? Because we're all bored, I suppose. :)
 
why do you guys keep posting plausible things? It's apparently a very strange combination of developer and game, most of what you suggest is not.

Something like bungie and ddr, or rockstar and harvast moon

edit: or rockstar and ping pong, lol

clicking the link on ign does nothing for me. takes me to the 360 page and there is no sign of the story.

Story is up for me now, 39.99 price point, Rockstar San Diego, sounds cool to me.
 
A Ping Pong game? :lol

Ok, seriously though, I think this is cool. I've been wanting a Ping Pong game for ages!
 
It's a damn good looking game. It looks like "Ping Pong Street." :P
 
It's a 360 exclusive as well.


It looks pretty sweet albeit it a bit dark for some reason. It's probably some sort of *underground* ping pong league where only the hardest of the hardcore compete. :lol


In the hands of the right developer this game could be awesome. I've just never been personally blown away by the gameplay in ANY Rockstar game. :/
 
I'll laugh my ass off if it ends up being what the screenshots make it look like: Urban Ping Pong.

That doesn't recreate the speed of real ping pong battles. Have you not watched Ping Pong tournaments on ESPN 8 THE OCHO? I have, and they are awesome to see. The speed at which the players hit the ball back at each other is amazing. Faster paced than tennis that is for sure! :D
