Such is the power of VG247 that we have moved beyond the Megaton News era and into the next-gen realm of the Gigaton! I doff my cap to the mighty Garratt for achieving so much in the mere months that the site has been active.

The Assassins Creed 2 statement makes it bollocks.

Yup, Ubisoft explicity said it was not going to be an anual franchise and not to expext any anoucements soon. Besides that, they can’t have anything steal Prince of Persia’s thunder.

No, Jade isn’t working on I Am Alive. It was just internet-o-rumourwrong.

Jade isn’t working on I am Alive!?

But the only reason I assume it’s not in development is becuase they wanted to manufacture some hype for it, by keeping it a while longer, and the PoP team is busy.

Maybe cocneptual stages, but that’s all I believe.

It will DEFINITELY get a sequel. It sold tremendously.

The producer isn’t working on I Am Alive.

And anyone who thinks Ass Creed 2 isn’t already in development is only fooling themselves.

All that said, it’s still probably all bollocks.

The Assassins Creed 2 statement makes it bollocks.

Team is working on PoP:P and producer is working on I am alive. Plus they said they’d keep us waiting.

But Two Halo titles… Ergh. Neitehr are gonna be FPS’s anyway. And Rare said they’d work on soemthign new, so no Conker.

Someone could probably make a graph of all the accurate information ever to come out of vgchartz at the same time.

Someone needs to make a graph that tracks “industry announcements first mentioned on internet forums” against “turned out to be true or not”.

NeoGAF should do it.

Any sane company ever named something “Hiroshima”? I guess not.

Seems full of shit… but I’d love it to be true.

So like I said, we only have ‘bloke down the pub said’ dates so far.

The rest of the story sounds a bit far fetched, tbh. I’m going to go with “made up”, while retaining my suspicion that we’ll get to see the new experience sooner rather than later.

November rain.

I think it was rumoured to be November, but they’ve never actually given out a date. Not even a rough guesstimate.

September would make a lot of sense. They’d be able to get it preinstalled onto the new boxes in time for Christmas.

I think you’re right.

I’ll shut up, then.

I’m sure they said a few weeks ago it was November.

I’m having a September launch. Got to be, innit. There’s no way they’d let it run into September, espcially after showing it off so openly at PAX.

I would normally say “You can’t make this shit up!”…

… but obviously someone can!
