Earlier this evening Eurogamer were accosted by a well-known developer in a dark alley. Or possibly an email. They thrust a mysterious piece of parchment into their hands and told them that their readers held the key to deciphering it.
Apparently the poem below holds the secret to a new game announcement, and if you can unlock the clues you can follow the Internet highway to the source of the information. They're not supposed to help you, which is good, because they're all idiots.
Before the figure scurried out of our sight he (or she, perhaps) left them with one final thought:
Square Enix launches Final Fantasy X 25th anniversary site, revealing new Nomura art, books, music releases, and merchandise.
Look I know VIII has its issues and all that but how on earth can the do big anniversary events with new artwork and merchandise for VII, IX and X yet VIII got sweet f*** all.
They could have given it something during its 25th anniversary yet all it got was a single Happy Anniversary post on their social media.
they should know that we are OG fans of VIII as it sold truckload as well. not as much as VII or X. I personally didn't like IX but X and VI are my personal fav.
Shadow Hearts 2 covenant is another game I love. I hope one day someone can make remake, I would be delighted
Final Fantasy VIII is great and you are always the first to defend it in the comments
LucasArts gave Jango Fett his own game in 2002, and it pulled Star Wars into a much dirtier, rougher, and more interesting corner of the galaxy.
The Wii is now a retro console. Let’s get nostalgic about an often maligned system.
Crazy to think the WII is to the Switch 2, as the NES was to the WII back then. 20 Year difference.
My wife asks me to bust it out (heh) everyone once in a while to play bowling and tennis with the kids. There was a ton of slop on it but some good stuff as well.
Wii was great but boy howdy did it cause Microsoft to go on a dark walk with the Kinect and the disastrous XBox One launch that they arguably never recovered from.
Not nostalgic for me.. I was there.. anyone who wasnt a little kid realized it was a gamecube with shit tacked onto it, it was the "joke" system and was well below even the switch in terms of comparing it to the latest machines at the time. The machine was well loved by young people and "casual gamers" who now remember it 20 years on, or in most cases more of its sales came in the 15-20 years ago range not right at launch- but again its not nostalgic for people who were "gamers" then really, just for those who ended up with one in their house, the games , graphics, interface and online features were archaic already in 2006.
to get viral ad interest from the masses. Cryptic messages always go over well with the gaming public.
That is pretty cool, sounds like something from the Da Vinci Code. I just hope it isn't an anti-climax. Viral campaigns are always extremely popular, the only problem is that it brings our expectations up massively and a lot of times it ends up being a disappointment.
Let's hope that's not the case and this ends up being the definitive Thundercats game that I know you've ALL been waiting (well, anyone growing up in the 80's) rather than another Tetris clone or something!
I actually think this might be God of War 3 but I have been unable to solve the puzzle.
Why I think its God of War 3 is the following clue. The letters points to three cities of Gaia
Gaia is Greek goddess personifying the Earth.
Gaia, portrayed as a giant Titan, the embodiment of earth and nature, is a major character in the video game God of War II, in which it is revealed that Gaia was the narrator of the first God of War, though she took no active role in it.
Gaia, One of the Titans, and connected to all things of the Earth. Along with the other Titans, she was banished in the War of the Titans, and seeing Kratos' quest for revenge on Zeus, offers to lend her power to his cause, she helps Kratos throughout his journey in hopes that together they can bring about the fall of Olympus. She was the narrator in the original God of War game.
The fact that I have not been able to solve it could indicate I am not on the right track
" They're not supposed to help you, which is good, because they're all idiots. "
yes we are, have anyone tried properties?
2042?
4 is repeated a lot.
Which makes me think this is the 4th game in the series.
I see 4 languages too..but I can't read them all.
