I promised a few surprises last week, so all of you put me on a limb here. Here’s some interesting tidbits, that only the Rumor Reporter… that’s right - your Bruce Kelly - found out over the weekend.
First of all, we know about the success that Lost Planet for the Xbox 360 received, critically and publicly. A friend close to the happenings at Capcom has revealed an upcoming next-generation title that justifies Capcom’s loyalty to this new series. Introducing, Lost Planet Wars. Expected to be coming out for the Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3, nothing yet is much known about the title, other than its ties to the already released Xbox 360 action game. Could it be a strategy title, MMO? I’ll have more details in the coming weeks, but you read it here first.
Next up is the eventual announcement of Iron Man: The Official Game of the Movie for the PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 as well. A Wii version was mentioned by my anonymous source, but this title will mostly stay within the mainstream gamer to appeal its breath-taking textures and environments. The action title is based on the upcoming Iron Man movie next year, which will star Robert Downey Jr. as the suited-superhero. And who’s making the game? I know for a fact that SEGA (with the official rights to the license) is publishing the official movie title, with Secret Level developing it. Treasure could be involved as well, but they’re already pre-occupied with exclusive Wii Virtual Console games. Did I also mention that a next-gen Golden Axe is also on the way?
Lastly, my questions to Activision during the Spiderman 3: The Game event on Thursday (San Francisco) have me convinced that Guitar Hero is indeed coming to the Wii. Although Red Octane has all the involvement under a tight lip, Activision’s reluctance to answer any of my questions, especially considering that this Wii version could simply be a port, confirms the game’s existence.
Updates on these titles coming soon, but they’re as legtimiate as can be. Remember; I confirmed Spore DS too.
