No disc-swapping for Forza 3, say Indians

forza23.jpg

According to this Angry Pixel report, Forza 3 is unlikely to appear on two discs, despite the recent Intellisponse leak on the game suggesting a two-DVD product.

The news comes from Dhruva Interactive, an Indian company who’s already worked on 3D assets for both Forzas and games in the Gotham series.

“One way or the other, the core game will be shipped on a single disc,” said the source. “Content won’t be sacrificed… fans will be pleasantly surprised for what’s in store.”

Take a look.

Rumour: “Crucible” movie is Oblivion designer’s console RPG

According to this Kotaku rumour, the leaked movie everyone thought was a first look at Silicon Knights horror The Crucible on Sunday is in fact a new console RPG from developer Big Huge Games and Oblivion designer Ken Rolston.

The footage emerged as part of the Intellisponse leak. Sega has now denied it’s The Crucible.

The site’s source says the movie’s from an “absolutely archaic build, and doesn’t even come close to representing what the game is or where it’s going” calling it “orders of magnitude better” than the footage suggests.

Apparently it’s going to be released on PC, PS3 and 360 by THQ next year.

Leaked video of The Crucible… isn’t

MTV’s just posted a quote from a Sega rep saying that the supposed video of The Crucible – the Silicon Knights horror – gleaned from Intellisponse‘s site this weekend, is nothing of the sort.

“That video is not the game that Silicon Knights is creating for us. I have no idea if it is a game they are working on for someone else, but it’s definitely not the project that Silicon Knights and SEGA are producing. I can’t reveal any info about the game we currently have in development, but I can tell you that it is not titled ‘The Crucible.’ More news about our game coming soon.”

Just goes to show.

Rumour: Trioxide allows console games to be played on PC

We missed this in the rush last night. As part of the incredible Intellisponse leak-athon came details of a product called Trioxide, which apparently lets you play console games on your PC.

“Introducing the ability to play the latest console games (i.e. Xbox 360, PS3, Wii, etc.) on your PC. Many of these games are only available on consoles today and with this new feature would now be available on the PC as well. With this new feature those console games are now playable on your PC!

Uses the same game controllers as the original console system (all games use regular console controllers, not your computer keyboard or mouse.)”

No one knows what this quite is, or who – if anyone – is actually making it. Read all the other news from the Intellisponse break-out here.

Intellisponse rumour round-up – lest we forget

laurelandhardy.jpg

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.

Rumour: MS to allow XNA devs to use avatars for free

A source has told VG247 that Microsoft will allow XNA developers to use Xbox Live’s now-rumoured Mii-cloning Avatars for free.

We’ve also been told that Avatars will have ready-to-use animations in place such as run, walk, jump, and “break-it-down”, the last one being a bit of a shame.

In case you’ve only just got out of bed, research firm Intellisponse had its site “opened up” last night, leading to a torrent of rumours about titles such as Forza 3 and a new Singstar clone called Lips.

Rumour: New Singstar-esque game Lips revealed

Earlier this evening the existence of Xbox Live “Avatars” was apparently leaked through a research firm called Intellisponse. Through the site’s backend videogaming247 can reveal that “Lips”, the mysterious brand that was expected to be announced at the Microsoft Gamer’s Day in May, appears to be a Singstar-style game.

From the source:

“Lips is a music and singing game that includes 30 songs, 2 wireless interactive microphones, the ability to use and sing your own music or download songs from an online service. Designed to have fun with friends, Lips scores you on your singing (pitch, rhythm and tune) and your overall performance.”

Other features are as follows:

30 songs:
The songs include a mix of popular songs like Madonna, and local songs specific to the United Kingdom.

2 Wireless Interactive Microphones:
Wireless mics are interactive, with lights on the shaft of the microphone that pulse to the rhythm of your voice, and motion sensors that allow you to dance, move or swing to score points.

Use your own music:
Take songs from CD or your iPod, and upload them into the game. The game will reduce the vocals so you can sing along and be heard, and score you on whether you’re in tune. Lyrics can also be added directly into the song to sing along.

Download songs:
Hundreds of music videos with lyrics are available online for a small fee, which you sing and be scored on.

Rumour: Microsoft to launch 360 “Avatars”

X3F is reporting that Microsoft’s take on Miis may have just been leaked. Apparently, “Avatars” are to made available for all Live users this year, and “will be used in the place of the gamer picture you have today and give you a much more lifelike, animated and customizable persona”.

Not sure what to make of this. On one hand it looks completely unofficial and daft, on the other, if you paste that URL onto anything, it brings up, “Copying this information is in violation of your Legally Binding Agreement of Non-Disclosure.”

Take a look for yourself.
