  • Were my predictions right?

    Were my predictions right?

    In my blog entry posted shortly before E32009, I’ve posted my pedictions. But; were they right?

    360° Sensor? 360° Waggle? 360° Wand?
    Microsoft unveils the final product of the motion sensor controller, numerous rumors has suggested it will be revealed very soon, others are saying its already been revealed in prototype form. Along with it, will be a few new IP’s that take advantage of the peripheral.
    Confirmed! It was unveiled as Project Natal. And THQ pledges support for Natal.

    PS3 and PSP Go at E32009?
    PSP Go and PS3 are the big announcements that will highlight at E32009, there has been lots and lots of rumors and speculation surrounding the picture that first came onto the internet about PS3 slim. The closer the date gets to E32009, the better the rumors sound. So, a price drop may not happen for the current models; but a slim PS3 will act as the third SKU and will be looked at as a “price drop” by many consumers. Mostly because redesigns are supposed to eliminate costs associated with producing the hardware. A dual picture confirms this because of the striking similarity of the boxes – coupled with a video that Qore subscribers have been getting made the whole dual announcement more likely. The big megaton is PS3, and PSP Go – many sites such as GameSpot, and PlayStation Lifestyle confirms it.
    Confirmed! PS3 Slim is released in the first of September. PSPGo is released in October.

    Seeeeeeeegaaa
    Sega has been hard at work on a major surprise at E32009 – The dream still lives! Dreamcast 2 is coming with 15 launch titles, a DreamMote, an updated VMU that has a sweet looking color screen, it will have an online infrastructure similar to Xbox Live, and it will allow for HD games through awesome graphics. Release Date: 09/09/09 Nah, Just teasing. Just kidding.
    This was supposed to be a big joke!

    Metal Gear Next? NeoMetalGear!?
    There has been speculation about Kojima’s recent teaser website. One possibility is that the game relates to a much talked remake of Snatcher, a possible grown up sunny as speculated by a Blu Ray Forum, or possibly Gray Fox himself. What if I told you, that maybe the face behind the cyborg ninja (using Raiden’s exoskeleton) is someone’s daughter? Namely Olga’s? Hmm? And on top of that, there’s an alien version of Olga – since the teaser shows two things: One is an alien form, and the other is the destoryed; yet gifted version of the alien form. I have a feeling that someone got ahold of Olga’s body to retain the blood, and DNA in order to attract Sunny into becoming a part of a new terrorist organization.
    Confirmed! Its been revealed as Metal Gear Solid: Rising!
