E3 Halo game announce won't include Master Chief
Atlus RPG Persona 4 given US release date - details
Firmware 2.40 still down, wait goes on for news
April 3rd, 2008 @ 09:29
Following a press release saying there would be a games panel at Comic Con in New York later this month, and that Gears of War 2 would be shown at the event, Epic boss Mark Rein has seemingly clarified that the mega-sequel won’t be shown at all.
“I’m not aware that we’re showing anything there,” Rein told videogaming247.
The original release said that “the [event’s] gamer summit will begin with a presentation… discussing the origin of the Gears of War saga, its unprecedented success, and offering a glimpse into this year’s upcoming Gears of War 2.”
Sounds like Mr Comic Con may have his wires crossed, then.

I wonder how many people bought tickets just on the strength of seeing GoW 2? hehe
April 3rd, 2008 at 9:34 am
I’d love to go to Comic Con. Minkley went last year.
April 3rd, 2008 at 9:36 am
Johnny who?! :p
Me too. Meeting people like Jeph Loeb, Tim Sale et al would really be something special.
Maybe next year, eh?
April 3rd, 2008 at 11:50 am
I stood next to Stan Lee once. I’ll be surprised if GoW2 comes out this year
April 3rd, 2008 at 11:51 am
That game won’t slip. It can’t.
April 3rd, 2008 at 12:06 pm
No way will it get put back.
April 3rd, 2008 at 12:09 pm
Yeah, what else is there for the 360 for Christmas?
April 3rd, 2008 at 12:15 pm
Don’t make me list you!!!!!
fable2/banjo/alanwake
DAMN!
April 3rd, 2008 at 12:22 pm
AlanWakeChristmaslol!
I’ll let you have Fable 2. I refuse to accept Banjo.
April 3rd, 2008 at 12:26 pm
I thought you’d pick up on that!
Banjo will be this year. In fact, 3 Rare titles this year, or so they say. Halo wars most likely too. ANyway sod it, you ensnared me!
Out of pure interest, what big PS3/Wii titles are scheduled for Q4?
April 3rd, 2008 at 12:32 pm
I don’t mean that I don’t believe Banjo will make it, I mean Banjo’s a load of old crap.
Wii - haven’t a clue. None for Europe, probably.
PS3, didn’t Pat post a list the other day? Resistance 2 and… some other stuff. I seem to think LBP and Killzone(lol) were down for Q3.
Not much for me, anyway! Hurrah!
April 3rd, 2008 at 12:38 pm
So what else it new?! :d
Banjo will be great. It’s Rare! How could it not be?!

/sees ‘rhetorical’
/shelves rant for another time
April 3rd, 2008 at 12:44 pm
Resistance 2 and LBP will be the big two, I reckon. Killzone no chance. The biggest game past MGS is FFXIII: that’ll be the thing that really sends it over the top in Japan, but I doubt that’ll be released anywhere this year.
April 3rd, 2008 at 12:46 pm
Weird innit. Christmas is usually the time for the big hitters. Maybe they’re all just not announced yet.
April 3rd, 2008 at 12:50 pm
Well, we are trying to think of exclusives. There’ll be a gazillion and one cross-platform 3rd party titles, no doubt.
April 3rd, 2008 at 12:55 pm
Splinter Cell 5 is another one, of course.
There’s a couple of 3rd party one’s coming out that I’m not allowed to talk about as well.
April 3rd, 2008 at 12:56 pm
3rd party exclusives? How quaint! I thought we were past all that.
Private message with the info, pls. I won’t spill.
April 3rd, 2008 at 1:49 pm
It’s not a 3rd party exclusive, no. It’s just a big title that’s coming out later.
April 3rd, 2008 at 1:54 pm
So it’s a big third party title that’s not exclusive? Or it’s a big first party title that is exclusive?
/teases out information
April 3rd, 2008 at 1:57 pm
I don’t know how to PM in VG247.
Big 3rd Party multiplat. Developed for both consoles simultaneously.
April 3rd, 2008 at 1:58 pm
I meant an EG PM actually.
PMs in VG247 is a good idea. I’ll PM Pat. Oh… wait!
April 3rd, 2008 at 1:59 pm
There’s no PM system. It’s on the “list”.
April 3rd, 2008 at 2:00 pm
It was on the original spec, but Rupert said it was too hard to do
April 3rd, 2008 at 2:02 pm
Hve you checked your EG PM Blerk?
April 3rd, 2008 at 2:04 pm
Ah, that!
I actually knew about that already, I don’t think it’s secret, is it? Regardless, I really liked the others so unless they stuff it up spectacularly then it’s almost certainly a buy. Good to know it’s due for the hols, anyhow.
April 3rd, 2008 at 2:09 pm
Yeah but it’s more what I know about it. From the sounds of it mate, it seems like they’re getting it ‘right’ this time. They want you to cry like in FFVII apparently…
Hopefully they’ll be an (hopefully) exclusive interview within a couple of weeks.
April 3rd, 2008 at 2:10 pm
Oh! Cracking!
Looking forward to seeing that, then. Any idea when the unveil will be?
April 3rd, 2008 at 2:13 pm
Late April/Early May.
April 3rd, 2008 at 2:25 pm
