==============================

Old news:

Due gli annunci: il primo è un progetto multiplatform totale per PS3/WII/X360/PC con un dream team formato da Grasshopper, Mikami e Q Entertainment.

Il secondo è la partnership con Epic che, con un suo studio di produzione polacco (People can Fly), produrrà un gioco per PS3/360/PC.

Entrambi assolutamente inaspettati, vedremo che combinano di buono. :)

Troppo curioso di sapere cosa combinerà Mikami ...

Novità fin'ora?

[Turrican3]

Che io sappia c'è il silenzio/riserbo più totale.

Ma essendoci EA di mezzo credo che al momento opportuno le informazioni non mancheranno, insomma mica è Nintendo che ultimamente ti fa "cucù, tra un mese pubblichiamo XYZ, titolo del quale fino a ieri nemmeno conoscevate l'esistenza, contenti?".

Altra intervista a Mikami e Suda51 (l'ho vista solo oggi )

http://www.gamasutra.com/php-bin/news_index.php?story=19874

E nuova mini-informazione: il gioco pubblicato da EA, che adesso sappiamo essere un action-horror (hmm... RE4 anyone?!) utilizzerà l'Unreal Engine 3:

http://www.gamasutra.com/php-bin/news_index.php?story=20545

No More Heroes-developer Grasshopper Manufacture licensed Epic Games' Unreal Engine 3 for an upcoming action-horror game to be published by Electronic Arts for PC, Xbox 360, PlayStation 3, and Wii.

[...]

Not much else has been disclosed about the planned title, other than that the developer intends to make a "mysterious, very unique horror-packed action game" -- though Gamasutra did quiz the duo about the title when it was recently announced.

According to Suda, Grasshopper chose Unreal Engine 3 because it enables the creative team to "create games faster, easier, and with less risk."

Arriva anche su PC, tanto mi basta

[Turrican3]

Secondo Suda51 il titolo supersegreto sviluppato assieme a Mikami potrebbe essere mostrato al TGS:

http://wii.ign.com/articles/990/990607p1.html

il gamedesigner a dir poco anticonformista non si è sbilanciato più di tanto, rivelando all'intervistatore solo che si tratta di "un gioco su luci e ombre".

[Blasor]

Dai dai che sono curiosissimo, speriamo lo rivelino davvero al TGS.

[Turrican3]

Dopo il falso allarme dell'anno scorso potrebbe essere davvero la volta buona (sarà il periodo? vedi Duke Nukem ) per il progetto Suda51-Mikami, che, secondo notizie circolanti in Rete in queste ore, verrà mostrato da EA all'imminente TGS:
