It looks like IGN's Voodoo Extreme seems to know something, and are having a grand old time teasing the hell out of everyone about it.
With a recent news post on their site they have gone a step further by releasing a tease video featuring a foot. A big, stompy, foot.
The post also mentions in an overly excited tone the name MechWarrior. Make of that what you will.
The video comes developer Piranha games, who have worked on a few next-gen but nothing overly spectacular.
Yep, that's a foot alright.
Now since that daring little tease was released the IGN based site has released a few more sample videos (that I can't embed) to keep that old rumor mill grinding away.
Now it's a leg.
Why hello there!
Of course not much else info has been handed out, and with no official confirmations or announcements this rumor is as solid as runny pudding. This could be a tech demo, this could be a generic mech-based game, only time will tell.
Although, to add to peoples hopes, last October the Mechwarrior license changed hands from Microsoft to Smith and Tinker, a company created Jordan Weisman, who is the man who founded FASA, which is the company that created Battletech.
Joining the dots, anyone? Or just crossing your fingers, I sure as hell am.
*UPDATE*
IGN have announced they are doing an interview with Pirahna games and Jordan Weisman tomorrow to 'Explain the rumors'. I think we can guess a little safer now huh? ;)
DanMazkin, *sniff* it's Robot, Swift Robot.
You're on my friends list so I think you should know... I've whored a lot of achievement games. Some shovelware from the rental store uptown uh.. some downloadables maybe 5 or 10..
um that Yaris game I found on LIVE Arcade. I left it on my hard drive along with some doritos game.
I played King Kong, my old game, with 1000 achievement points, and some game.... some old casual game with cars last week! I beat another game with a cheat book...
*sobbing*
I had to, I almost didn't get the points, *sniff* and something else there I can't remember maybe a movie game... but that's beat too.
And uh Avatar. I played Avatar for five minutes straight, the disc is collecting dust on a shelf in a preowned store! I don't want to leave anything out here... I guess I've played maybe 20 shovelware games, maybe 40. I have youtube videos of a lot of it, *sniff* uh some of the guys on my friends list have seen the videos. *sniff* I even, um....
*gagging*
I bought a hacked controller... and I tried to cheat a little.
*sniff*
Tonight I, uh, *laughter* I just had to get a LOT of achievements! And um... I'm not sure I'm gonna get away with it, this time. So I mean.... ah, I guess I'm a pretty uh... I mean I guess I'm a pretty cool guy....
So, if you get back tomorrow... I may show up on the forums, so... you know...
keep your eyes open.
Here at RC we have come to a realization that we swear, a lot. When you listen to one of our episodes you'll see that we seem to have replaced every second word with the word 'fuckin'. I wish this was on purpose as a joke, but sadly it isn't, Australians just swear that much.
So to combat this, and by combat I mean take humorous advantage of for your amusement, we are making our latest episode a 'You swear, you drink, you lose' drinking game. Basically we take a drink for each time we swear, and you get to listen in the the shambles that will follow.
Oh yeah, we will also talk about Australian videogames, namely Edge of Twilight and such and such.
So, hit us with questions to hear us answer them in a slurred and rambling fashion.
Oh, and if you haven't added our new RC Dtoid Profile yet you should go do it. This will probably be the last* episode I'll post on my Puppy Licks profile so hop to it, you classy classy people you.
Note: I'm posting this podcast here and on our new profile for a couple of episodes just so people who haven't added our new profile yet don't miss out. I'll repost on our profile tomorrow so as not to clog up the Cblogs because I'm nice like that. So go add the profile already! Word.
This week Mr. Dillinger took the reins and let the show go wild, in all honesty things went pretty well, check it out.
Shit we talk about:
- Holy shit Robot Jox - Dan Mazkin's got an Ubisoft itch
- So does Mr Dillinger apparently, he's also enjoying Eternal Sonata
- Real men listen to Andrea Bochelli
- Queen's Blade fap break - RC Spotlight: E3
- Peter Molyneux is a weird looking match-headed fuck
- Ever wondered what my scepticism of Natal sounds like? BAM! There is it.
- Ass Creed and Metal Gear
- Echo effect makes Dan Mazkin sound like a ghost, wooOoooOOoOOoooo
- Insomnia? Amnesia.
- BRAPP BRAPP BRAPP!!!
- E3 Disappointments
- Exclusivity theory
- Everybody gets pissy
- Mr Dillinger quits, chaos ensues
We didn't answer any listener questions this week, so:
Ali D: The franchise that E3 renewed my interest in was in fact E3 itself. I'm glad it's back to how it used to be.
Counting Conflict: Next episode we may talk some DEP just for you.
Nebones: Prototype is fucking awesome.
Intro Music: The Minibosses - Megaman 2 Medly
Outro Music: The Presets - Together
Hey all,
International postage is a bitch. There I said it.
So why the shortblog PuppyLicks? I bet you're all asking that aren't ya? Well let me explain.
Months ago I posted a question to Garison and his cohorts on the Backwards Compatible podcast which they liked so much they decided I should have a prize. Fuckin hey!
Xavier contacts me telling me that Garison will sort something out.
Months pass.
I eventually forget about the mystery prize coming from the other side of the world and move on with my merry life.
That is until a small parcel arrived recently in my mailbox from none other than Gary himself. I open that sucker up and what do I find?
ohhhhhhhhh snap
Well shit a brick, I've always wanted to try this game out and now I can. Fuck yes.
Although this means I have to finally fix the broken sound card on my laptop, see what you're making me do Gary? YOU'RE MAKING ME WORK!!
So, to the point! Garison, thanks for the game man. I wasn't expecting something this epic to come my way, and I doubt shipping from the US to Australia is easy. So many thanks to you.
NOTE: Well don't I feel silly. I post up our new recording post a day early on our new RC profile, and only one faithful listener comments on it. Looks like nobody noticed and I need to remind everybody to add our new profile please. We need love, just like normal people do :( It was the Jar of Piss episode wasn't it? Come on what's wrong with Jarate?
He who everybody wanted to STAB!
OI! We're recording Episode 6 tomorrow night, I'd post this tomorrow morning normally but my work situation tomorrow is quite demanding, so now's my best chance to post. Hey at least you lucky people get an extra day to spam us with questions. And we love us some questions yes we do.
As for this week's episode... allow me to explain.
On this podcast our hosting duties work on a rough and random rotational basis, each episode one of us will take the reigns and keep the show on track, and today that honor has been handed down to our resident lovable madman; Mr Dillinger. What will become of the show with Dillinger behind the wheel? Will everything run splendidly? Will the show become a monumental cockup? Or will the show be so offensive that it will get us all banned from the internet?
If Mr Dillinger had his way the answer would most likely be all of the above.
With that in mind we should talk about what we thought of E3, Mr Dillinger may share his thoughts on what it is like to work at a videogame store, and shenanegans and chicanery will most likely ensue.
We will also be answering questions as usual so fire any enquiries you have our way and we'll do our best to answer them/go horribly off topic. Extra points for whoever gets Mr Dillinger to lose his cool and go apeshit at something/someone, double extra points if he loses it at you.
It's all in good fun, now get cracking with the questions!
Here are the videogaming thoughts of some guy who probably should be working right now. I blog sometimes and comment often. I'd like a job involving videogames somehow but I'm not quite there yet, so in the meantime I just try to enjoy life and play a lot of games.
Everywhere else on the internet I go by the name Swift Robot, this includes Xbox Live so add me if ya like.
I has a PS3 now, my fanboy days are over. Woo for equal opportunity :D
GutsDozer, meet the Mad Cat MkII.
Robots, video games, metal, pron, djent, awesomeness and ultraviolence FTW.
I also love me some fighting games too.
I'm also part of a podcast, a very unofficial one. Made by Aussies for Aussie Dtoiders and other Dtoiders who like to listen to Aussie Dtoiders. Check that shit out.
