Rumor #1 The next Call of Duty game will be named 'Black Ops 2'
RR Predicts: 100% True
I'm sure it's no surprise that we will be seeing another Call of Duty game this year. The series has basically become the Madden of FPS games. But will it be called Black Ops 2? All signs seem to point to yes. With mysterious sightings of the name popping up briefly on people's project lists, and with the increasing staleness of the series, I think it's a safe bet that the next Call of Duty will be yet another rehash of the same game you've been playing for years now. The series will never change.
I'll never show my face out of embarrassment that I cannot offer you anything new
Rumor #2 The Vita version of 'Black Ops 2' can be played online with PS3 players
RR Predicts: 70% False (But in a way 100% True)
It would be sweet to own the PS3 CoD players while riding the bus, wouldn't it? Sadly, I don't think this is going to be the case. While the Vita seems to be an amazing system and it will be getting the next Call of Duty game, I highly doubt that it will be compatible with it's bigger brother. It would be one hell of an innovation for the series, and I don't think either Trey Arch or IW are familiar with the word innovation. However! All is not lost! The Vita does have a feature called Cross Play that allows it to connect to the PS3 and not only allow you to play your PS3 game from the Vita, but you can view it on the Vita screen too. It's like a much better version of remote play. While we still have to see if the Cross Play is fast enough to handle a Call of Duty game, it appears that it might be the only way PS3 and Vita users can play Call of Duty together.
It's every fanboy's dream to tea bag you while chillin in the back seat of their mom's ride
Rumor #3 Monster Hunter Tri-G will be announced for a US release soon
RR Predicts 95% True
Monster Hunter is all the rage in Japan. If you're a gamer who lives in Japan and never heard of Monster Hunter, you're not really a gamer. No game has been this popular since the Dragon Quest series with our fellow gamers of the East. And just like Dragon Quest, Monster Hunter is slowly gaining a huge fan base in America as well. With Tri being a smash hit on the Wii, and Tri-G getting praise as the game that saved the 3DS, I think you can expect Capcom to announce a US release of Tri-G very soon. Heck, I'll go one step further and say that they'll even offer a special edition that comes packaged with a Circle Pad Pro.
You know you want me, I'm even better than the Wii version!
Rumor #4 Dragon Quest 7 will be remade for the 3DS
RR Predicts 75% True
Dragon Quest has been popular since the 80's in Japan, and while it's had a small fan base in the US for many years, it's starting to really increase in popularity. Almost every Dragon Quest game before 8 has been remade for one system or another except for 7. And this game is the one that needs a remake badly! It was a great RPG at the time of it's release, however it was overlooked because the graphics weren't the best and people were foaming at the mouth over Final Fantasy VII. If Square-Enix is going to slap you with another dose of Dragon Quest goodness before they release Dragon Quest X, you can count on this game being remade for your 3DS.
Dragon Quest VII was a PS1 game, but looks like a SNES game. A remake with the 8/9 graphics style would be completely awesome...and in glorious 3D!
That's all for today's Rumor Radar, I'm sure I'll have some more for you very soon! Until then, let's all see how these rumors pan out!
