E3 Hopes & Expectations Day 8

Another title that I'm reasonably certain exists, but it's still fairly sketchy.

Horizon

This is a title that's made several trips through the rumor mills, each time with successively greater amounts of information that's all shockingly consistent.   As the story goes, Guerilla Games (known for the Killzone franchise) has a second team that's been around for more than a little while.   This team hired Fallout: New Vegas writer John Gonzalez to help it work on a new IP--supposedly a large-scale, third-person, open-world RPG that features a female, red-haired protagonist and giant robotic dinos.   All of this was basically scuttlebutt until these images (and more) appeared:




If true, it would mean the potential start for a major new Sony franchise.  But Guerilla's been silent no matter how often any rumors pop up--so this is either concept art that existed long before whatever the game's current state would be...or its the worst kept secret ever and they're just trying to keep it all going until Sony goes for a proper reveal.   I'm hoping its the latter, and I'm hoping there's a pretty cool, epic story behind it all that we see at this E3.

Chances of Appearing: Honestly?  Who knows.  There's no official proof there even is a game yet, so we're kind of just hoping at the moment.  It'd certainly shake up Sony's conference, though.

Sage Spoils The Plot: Kamen Rider Decade

Starting a new section today, entitled Sage Spoils The Plot. I pondered over this name for quite a while, but as I thought about it, I realized calling it commentary or blogging or whatever is just bullshit. What you're REALLY doing is spoiling the plot and adding your own brand of shitty humor. So, why not be honest? Plus, Sage Spoils The Plot has kind of a ring to it. For the first section we're doing the new Kamen Rider series of 2009, Kamen Rider Decade. Kamen Rider checks a lot of "totally fucking awesome" boxes for me. A lot of people might call it, "Japanese Power Rangers" (which is untrue from the start since that already exists) due to the suits and the fight scenes. I accept this. That said, its proof that anything done right can be cool--so when you get rid of the over-acting, toss in a good plot (exceptionally good plots actually), add in some well done characterization, and tone down the stupid-level of the fight scenes and make them look less l

The New 52, Corrected: Justice Legion A

What Happened: It’s another replacement book.  This time we’re getting rid of Legion Lost.  What I’d Change: Enjoy the adventures of the Justice League of the 853rd century.  Why: Put simply?  Legion Lost didn’t have enough legs to function as an ongoing series.  A group of the Legion’s best members go to the past to combat an alien virus...and then what.  They get stuck?  Meh.  The appeal of the Legion is they’re from the future.  This could have been a great MINI-series; something with a beginning, a middle, and an end.  As an ongoing I got bored, really fast.  So instead let’s replace them with a book about the Justice League of the far future. DC's got a terrible habit of making up awesome concepts and then leaving them by the wayside, this is one of DC’s greatest and its only been revisited like, twice.  (Once by Geoff Johns with Booster Gold 1,000,000 and once with Chris Roberson with some Superman/Batman comic.)   It helps lighten the hit that came with Flashpoint
