PALGN's Periodical Rumour Harvest #2

PALGN News | Even More San Andreas information unveiled? A possible Resident Evil Four delay?

After the success of our previous Periodical Rumour Harvest last week, we decided to bring you even more rumours and happenings in the future. In the future we will revisit these features to see exactly how accurate some of our predications and speculations were. But, for the mean time, some unofficial news...

More Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas Information rumoured

After the smashing success that the Grand Theft Auto series has endured on the PS2, speculation has surrounded Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas, even months before it was officially announced. The latest information filtering in comes from an un-named UK magazine, unveiling the following details regarding the game.

Changing hairstyles is possible.
The graphics engine contains six times the draw-distance.
Only interior transitions cause load times.
Appearance will alter the way NPC characters react.
Cops can latch onto cars.
Motorcycle cops are now in the game.
The game will be packaged on a single, dual-layered DVD.

Resident Evil 4 delayed to 2005?

We love Gamestop and EB games - they manage to break the biggest news regarding game release dates before publishers. The latest release schedule updated by EB Games suggests Resident Evil 4 has been delayed to February 2005. Could this be yet another exclusive broken by a release list? We think so. Resident Evil 4 wouldn't be the only title delayed until 2005 this year.

Star Wars: Knights of the Republic 2 brought forward?

Lucasarts has updated their KOTOR2 website with all new information and has changed the release date to a northern hempishere "Winter". EB Games are also reporting the game will ship on the 12th of December, 2004.

Xbox 2 renamed?
Forget Xbox Next - Microsoft has recently conducted a survey to gather information on possible names for the next console. Some mentioned include Xbox 247, Xbox 360, Xbox 2, Xbox EV, and Xbox FS. Other questions in the survey focus specifically on the title Xbox FS. Reports even claim a logo for the Xbox FS was included.

That's it for PALGN's periodical rumour harvest #2. If you hear of anything happening in the industry then let us know at luke@palgn.com.au.

Nice little tidbits on Grand Theft Auto, although the hair thing?

Not sure if I like that one or not.

Resident Evil 4, well we could basically predict it being delayed till 2005 anyway, it would be nice if it released this year but I won't mind if I have to wait a little longer for one of the best titles.

As for the Xbox 2, all of the names I've heard for the new console are just lame in my opinion. Why don't they ditch the Xbox name and find a new one? Or they could just go with Xbox 2 but that's lame also...
