This information comes from Junction Point’s Paul Weaver…

“I think it comes down to belief at the end of the day and we’ve invested a huge amount of time and passion into the game. I really do believe you can tell when a game has a soul, when people went in and made the very best game they could. I know we did at Junction Point. Obviously I hope it’s very well received in the marketplace and with that in mind we hope for good sales. That’s really going to be for the public to decide, for us we made the best game we could.”

Well, from what we’ve seen so far, Epic Mickey hasn’t sold well in the UK. But it’s much too early to be discussing sales at this point. The game is just coming out today in North America, after all!

In this picture, make sure to look at the top right part of the level…

Some people think that the similarities between that portion of the level and Crocomire’s skull (from Super Metroid, of course) are just a conincidence. But, we can’t forget that Retro spent a few years on the Metroid series, and several additional easter eggs related to other Nintendo titles have been discovered.

This information comes straight from Danny Bilson’s Twitter account. Bilson is THQ’s core games VP…

“Big game announcement at VGA award show. Trying to keep the press release from sounding “corporate lame”, because the game is anything but.”

There are a number of possibilities as to what the title might be. It could be Guillermo Del Toro’s new project, or a new game that THQ recently teased for Wii/Move/Kinect. Or it might be something completely different. We’ll find out for sure in less than two weeks!

“We dumped that license because we felt like we needed to own more intellectual property, and we don’t like where James Bond is going with all the creative limitations on it. The percentage royalties you have to pay the licensors are going the wrong way for publishers. The margins are being squeezed. And, to top it all off, the movie-game business is falling apart. Considering the total amount of money we have to spend on those types of James Bond games, and the total amount of man-hours we had to put into them, we thought, hell, let’s work on our own IP. The guys who made James Bond games for us, well yeah, they went on and made Dead Space, and look where we are now; what would you rather publish, retail and play – the latest James Bond or Dead Space 2?”

I have no problem with movie games so long as they’re good games! Problem is, there aren’t too many good movie games out there. I’d definitely support new IPs over movie games, though! It’s good to see EA is in agreement.

First, 5th Cell’s Jeremiah Slaczka was asked if Kinect or Move provide him with any inspiration…

“Yeah… a little. I don’t know. The 3DS is cooler in our opinion.”

Slaczka then elaborated on his thoughts regarding Move/its relation to Wii…

“Move is okay. It’s Wii plus. It’s good for what it is. Ultimately it’s all about the system. If the idea makes sense, then we can do it and we will. But it’s all about the idea.”

Last but not least, Slaczka talked about 5th Cell’s interest in the 3DS, and that the company is in the R&D phase of making a 3DS title…

“[5th Cell is] in the R&D phase [to make a 3DS game]. We have people playing around with it. The 3D camera is probably the most interesting thing that’s the least talked about.”

001, 002, and 003… Those listings don’t really give us any clues as to what the games could be. Are those even the real names? Hopefully we’ll receive some answers soon!
