Noku Posted May 15, 2009 Share Posted May 15, 2009 Dum dum dummmmm! Secret Wii GameBozon's incessant bloggery -- he posted yet another once since my last -- has forced me to take drastic measures. In order to win the contest of nothing that I've just created for myself. Oh, I will win this contest of nothing. I will win it by a landslide. Or something. Really, though, this is the perfect opportunity for me to capitalize on the mass hysteria of Wii message board readers by presenting them a totally pixelated image of a game that we will unveil for Wii during the E3 time frame. Here is said pixelated picture, processed through multiple filters for your viewing pleasure: I'm not a photographic scientist or anything -- not sure the profession even exists, and if not, it should -- but at the very least, there seems to be a lot of red in that blurred-out picture. And you know what fuzzy red means, right? Yep -- teh maturez. This is a Wii exclusive game. Developed from the ground up. Have fun with that. Bozon, you suck. P.S. This blog post is made sweet by the fact that Bozon has been talking about this game without interruption since I showed him first screens. He is sick. Always bloodlusting. I think he needs help. My guess, as unlikely as it may be, is Killer Instinct. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

david.dakota Posted May 15, 2009 Share Posted May 15, 2009 Is the revelation that the blurred image doesn't look that interesting anything to go by? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ganepark32 Posted May 15, 2009 Share Posted May 15, 2009 Doesn't give me a Killer Instinct vibe. I don't remember there being swords in that game but then it's been a really long time since I played so forgive my ignorance if I'm wrong. Whatever it is, it certainly looks interesting. Don't think it's a new title in an existing franchise as it doesn't look like it but I could be wrong. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
david.dakota Posted May 15, 2009 Share Posted May 15, 2009 Whose blog is this from? They refer to Bozon, but it's not his, right? I hate navigating through the IGN blog site- can never find anyone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't think it's a new title in an existing franchise as it doesn't look like it but I could be wrong. The franchise belongs to Microsoft anyway.

flameboy Posted May 15, 2009 Share Posted May 15, 2009 Well if that unblurred neogaf image is anything to go by its nothing to get excited about. A generic gorey looking fighter...in the vein of god of war, dantes inferno and numerous other games due out this year yet with added motion controls yipee.

tapedeck Posted May 15, 2009 Share Posted May 15, 2009 Let me just say...This is NOT Killer Instinct, new characters wouldn't be shown and RARE won't be putting the franchise on the Wii at all. Unfortunately. (*sobs*) Looks like some kind of artwork for a God of War/Madworld/Mortal Kombat type title maybe. It's only concept art and because it's mature it's getting the same treatment of other unfinished mature Wii titles (y'know, the ones the interwebz seems to hype to hell.) Ahhh, I love the industry pre-E3. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wesley Posted May 15, 2009 Share Posted May 15, 2009 Dum dum dummmmm! My guess, as unlikely as it may be, is Killer Instinct. Er... what? Maybe you should read up on Microsoft buying out Rare, may of passed you somehow while you're sleeping under a rock. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cube Posted May 15, 2009 Share Posted May 15, 2009 Actually...a bird-like helmet. A big blade. Raven Blade? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
markderoos Posted May 15, 2009 Share Posted May 15, 2009 That sounds like a good guess We'll see if this turns out to be another game to look forward to. Man, my backcatologue is already bursting out of my closet... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ganepark32 Posted May 15, 2009 Share Posted May 15, 2009 Oh Cube, if only it turned out to be Raven Blade. Although, some to think of it Retro Studios have been quiet recently apart from the Wii-makes of the Metroid Primes so perhaps that could be what they're up to. IGN have said they expect something from them at E3. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Retro_Link Posted May 15, 2009 Share Posted May 15, 2009 Actually...a bird-like helmet. A big blade. Raven Blade? Yeah I did wonder that! I know it was only somewhat of a tech demo and a good number of years ago now, but if it is Raven Blade it's looks to have taken a bit of a different direction. And dismemberment!... that's always a brave move! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
david.dakota Posted May 15, 2009 Share Posted May 15, 2009 Raven Blade? Ohhh... Interesting. Raven Blade would without a doubt be published by Nintendo, IGN's Craig Harris has recently seen a Nintendo title (Tuesday just gone) - which we've not heard anything about (although Matt does refer to it ion his Blog).

Shino Posted May 15, 2009 Share Posted May 15, 2009 Can you imagine a bloody title from a Nintendo software house? Me neither. Is the unblurred picture just someone's drawing over the blurry one or an actual reversal of the filters? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Noku Posted May 15, 2009 Author Share Posted May 15, 2009 Sweet, getting my intelligence's arse handed to me. You see, the reason why I said "as unlikely as it may be" is because I actually (and here comes the tricky part for some of you) haven't been living under a rock, and know that Multiplesclerosissoft owns Rare, who owns the rights. But a man, goofed up on paracetamol and meloxicam, can only dream. Anyhow, that was from before the pic was decrypted. Now I think it's a new IP. Ya happy?

Cube Posted May 16, 2009 Share Posted May 16, 2009 Is the unblurred picture just someone's drawing over the blurry one or an actual reversal of the filters? I think it's simply the original picture. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
D_prOdigy Posted May 16, 2009 Share Posted May 16, 2009 I read that it was just some clever sod's Photoshop skills - an 'artist's impression' of what it would look unblurred. Still looks pretty spot-on to what it is though. And I really doubt it's anything too major, Matt wants to keep his job. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
