Intellisponse, a market research firm, last night got “internetalised” in a rather brutal way, causing a flood of rumours on unannounced games. We’re mindful that some of you don’t have to convince your wives and husbands that writing nonsense about spacemen and pretend cars in the middle of the night is “necessary”, so here’s everything you missed through yesterday evening and early this morning.

Zoinks! That’s the scariest Laurel and Hardy picture ever! I’ll be having nightmares about that!

I think it’s CG. It seemed appropriate, anyway.

I assume this company will get taken to the cleaners for all sorts of NDA breaches and never work in the industry again? Surely they’ll get their ass handed to them on a plate (in court).
Psychotext said:
They’ll get screwed in court… but before that happens they’ll lose all their clients anyway.
patlike said:
To be honest, I have no idea. I’ve never seen anything remotely like this before.
Blerk said:
Who were the surveys *intended* to go to? I’m surmising it wasn’t to the general public. Retail?
patlike said:
Again, I have no idea. I assume they’re concepts that either go to focus groups or consultants.
Psychotext said:
The problem wasn’t so much that there were surveys… the problem was that someone had access to 1 survey and then worked out a very easy way of getting access to all the others.
patlike said:
It wasn’t very well protected, no.
Psychotext said:
In that it wasn’t protected at all… yes.
Blerk said:
Bit of a shame 95% of it was pretty meh really, isn’t it?
Psychotext said:
The only potential megaton is Trioxide… and no-one can work out what it is exactly.
Blerk said:
Sounds to me like it’s one of those “streaming games to your PC over the ‘net” things. You connect in and play the game remotely, their servers beam the video and audio back to your PC. The ‘you have to use the proper controllers’ thing sort of gives it away. It’ll never work.

I was being sarcastic
Blerk said:
Oh. Do you already know what it is, then? I’m a bit slow on the uptake today.
patlike said:
I don’t know, nope. I missed that, tbh.
Blerk said:
Did they turn the news off this afternoon, then?
patlike said:
Fell asleep. Intellisponse killed me.

60gb 360 for E3?

That’s just an extension of the guesslist from the other day.
patlike said:
Ja, skipped it. It got bundled into the price drop stuff on Friday.
Blerk said:
Oh. Must’ve missed all that. Friday was my turn to be asleep.
patlike said:
Don’t think I’m not grateful. All links are good.
I wish everyone would go to sleep at lunch time in the UK. It’s very civilised.
Psychotext said:
Mmmm… siesta.
patlike said:
It’s too warm.
Psychotext said:
That’s the point of a siesta. You sleep through the hottest part of the day.
patlike said:
It’s a great idea. I didn’t intend to go comatose for two hours, however. Some kind of “alarm” device is needed, I think.

Not so much a leak as a NEWS FELCH!

Yay all fake.
