I am going to say it's Halo Wars or either Ninja Gaiden 2. Also with all these developers leaving M$ I wouldn't be surprised if after christmas M$ announces that they are leaving the console wars.-Renegade

lol, everytime you post I just have to laugh.

The question still remains. Who's the big name leaving MS? Bill Gates? (that wouldn't really be news.. we all know he's leaving anyway) who knows... I don't really know the MS employees.. who's the biggest name in Microsoft outside BG?0rin

The reason why nobody is talking about the person leaving MS is that nobody cares who leaves MS because whoever it is will have no effect for the gaming industry or the 360 as MS has nobody that touches games really.

Let's clear things up a bit. It is probably a game that we haven't heard jack **** from in a while. So, that would make it either Banjo (sadly) or the Marvel MMO. There is also The Peter Jactson Halo project. I have no clue who could be leaving since there isn't really anyone big over at MGS. Unless the game isn't being published by Microsoft and it's Cry On or something like that (doubt it).pins_basic

I think you're right, but at this point, everything we say is purely speculative, even whether anything will be cancelled at all. I'm betting it's Banjo if anything, but we'll have to wait until next week to see.

Maybe it's Mass Effect. They probably just said hey we are only a few weeks from launch but lets just cancel it and then put it on the Wii and PS3 instead.

I find this rumor to be 97 percent bs though. Why would they announce a cancellation of a game that will be announced next week? What company has done that before?Ilived
Because information leaks out of MS improperly more often then my bathtub does. Nintendo on the other hand is locked down as tight as the NSA.

i can see why people would think banjo, but i cant see it being cancelled. Too human, however, i can. A game thats gone through so much crap would be easy to shut down. Maybe not from a dev perspective, but from MS, sure.

yeah i'm not even sure if his posts are serious anymore..

If the game getting cancelled is really as big as they say it is then i would guess Too Human. But i honestly bet it will be something we barely know or care about.

lOL! USING THE 1UP PODCAST as a source. The podcast is home in creating many rumors that have no backround.

And to you people saying Banjo 3, you guys really need to be informed. The scribes (rarefanmail thingy) said got recent emails and said 2 things: it still is gonna come out and it has been worked on for 2 1/2 years

Its probally a game no one has even heard about. like the box or something like that

Yeah they both were because it was something like Marvel was exclusive to the 360 well DC was going to be excusive to the PS3.....I am a huge comic book nerd so I thought that was kinda funny

I just don't think Rare would cancel it. They recently had a f.a.q. where they answered a ton of question from people who are dying to play the game and they assured them that it still needed work but it would come out. I have it somewhere, ill try to find it.

I know, there's not any reason to say it'll be Mass Effect. The female human/alien events did not go to waste.;)

Ninja Gaiden 2 - Recently announced at TGS (doubt it)

Boku Sudoku (XBLA?) - Meh, not a big title

Scene It - Announce and not a big game.

Banjo - Sadly no knews since 06 but there was word from Rare that it's still in the works

Halo Wars - We got an update on this game this year (doubt it)

PJ Halo - Havent heard **** since it was announced (maybe PJ decided he doesn't want to make games after all)

Kingdom Under Fire - We have had news thought it was the most recent and it's scheduled to release in a few weeks in Japan

Mass Effect - It's releasing in less than 2 weeks and I believe has gone gold (it has even been reviewed)

Marvel MMO - Havent heard Jack since it was announced and it's an MMO and we all know about MMO's :| (maybe)

Too Human - In strife with Epic which is a huge Microsoft partner though we have had updates on the games and it seems to be comming along.

Lost Odyssey - releases in a few weeks in Japan (doubt it)

Alan Wak- I just doubt that it's Alan Wake though we havent heard much from Remedy.

Fable 2 - We have had plenty of updates on it this year so I doubt it. It seems to be comming along just fine.

So at the end it's looking like the Marvel MMO or the PJ Halo to me.

Thre is also Project Offset which is supposely being published by Microsoft but there has been no offical announcement.

Ok so it's not Banjo 3, might not be Too Human, probably won't be Halo Wars(they can't just give up after all that time and resource), there is a chance it can be Fable 2, but in reality this whole thing can be a load of crap.

1up and EGM are right about rumors a lot of the time, I remember reading about Street Fighter 4 coming out in 2008 and that happened, but it's hard to tell whether or not, this another one of their wacked out jokes or if it's a serious rumor. I'm calling it fake, the wayall of themplayed it off on the podcast seems so questionable, I expect(or rather hoping) come next weeks podcast we get a big, "Haha we fooled you guys like we do a lot of the time!" kind of thing.

I doubt that is Fable since we have seen alot of it and it seems to be comming along fine. Fable is also a huge franchise for Microsoft. As you said it could all turn out to be BS since they said 90% confirmed and when it's a rumor it tends to be 90% chance of happening

Did anyone else catch the negative remarks about Mass Effect? It's apparently no longer John Davison's GOTY, and it's apparently very very short, especially for an RPG, Around the 1 hour mark and a little after they talk about it briefly. I can see it already, being very short.Still gonna play it reguardless, but I don't think it's going to be as great as everything has been saying.

Rare does not own the rights to KI. Nintendo does

I'm pretty sure it belongs to Rare (or Microsoft now). That is why they were able to put KI3 in GBTG.

An interview with rare done on 10/12/07

If Rare is still working on some Nintendo ports that are actually Nintendo properties, does that mean you can still revisit those series, like Donkey Kong Country, or Killer Instinct?

JT: Nintendo like us to do the ports of the games that we did for them for their format.

We've done the Donkey Kong Country remakes because [Rare] was the home of it. Nintendo have asked us to do those. I think there's still a really good relationship between Rare and Nintendo. Yeah, we get on really well.

That kind of thing doesn't happen very often.

JC: No, I think it's unique to the fact that Microsoft aren't planning on releasing a handheld, so there's no conflict of interest there. I think the management is still friends with people at Nintendo -- like Ken Lobb went over [to Microsoft] as well, so there's still connections between the two businesses.

I mentioned Killer Instinct -- a lot of people are hoping that you guys are going to do that again. I thought it would be very difficult since you're Microsoft-owned, but if you do have that relationship, then on the handheld page...

JT: The thing is, when we were working with Nintendo, there were some properties that were ours -- and are ours, furthermore. Banjo is a great example. Banjo is all ours, although potentially Nintendo could release the old games for the Virtual Console on the Wii. Any future ventures would be from Rare on whatever format we're working on. It's a pretty even split. Obviously they didn't give us Donkey Kong. I don't know why. (laughs
