NintenDaan's done it again. I'm really psyched about this.

I bring really bad news for Duke Nukem fans, 3D Realms has no funding anymore from Take Two. So Duke Nukem forever is currently on halt.

Here is the first English source i found about this

Hey there!

Everyone who didn't like Beyond Good & Evil, let this change your mind.

Everyone who did like Beyond Good & Evil, click that link anyway.

[El Dango]

That just looks too awesome to be true. Good thing i have a friend with an Xbox360, so i can force him into buying this.

I dunno about this development. Where's the animal people?
Or maybe she is visiting a different planet or something, haha. *skratches chin*

[Holy Crap]

Somehow it reminds me of Jak II.

About upcoming games, I think I was the first to see this leaked footage of Assassin's Creed 2 ( click this link, download 568x426.flv and play it with any FLV player ): http://media.ubi.com/fr/_tmp/E3/AC2/
It's not been posted anywhere yet, except for the Ubi forums ( I posted it there ).
I've also tipped Kotaku. XD
It seems nobody has read my posts yet though.
EDIT -> Better link: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v9-ZNgm0j7I
EDIT 2 -> I've also tipped Destructoid. I wonder who'll be first to post the story?
EDIT 3 -> Destructoid was first.

What's an FTP server, and what were you doing on Ubisoft's one?!

For those interested, it seems that Metal Gear Solid 5 will be announced at E3, by the way.

[Droolie]

What's an FTP server, and what were you doing on Ubisoft's one?!

Looking at possible leaks of Beyond Good and Evil 2. Instead, I found a leak of both Assassin's Creed 2 and Splinter Cell: Conviction. Why no BG&E2? *cries*

[spiraldoor]

But...what is an FTP server? How did you access it? Can anyone access it...?

[Droolie]

Yeah, it's Ubisoft's public FTP server. You can access it here:
http://ftp.ubi.com/
or
http://media.ubi.com/

I always look here first if I want to know if there is any info of upcoming games that you can't get on other gaming sites. I've been doing this since there was a large archive that contained artwork, screens and more of some of their upcoming games on that server somewhere in 2006/2007. It had the 2 first artworks of the new Prince of Persia.

[spiraldoor]

Konami wouldn't have an FTP server by any chance?

[Droolie]

Probably, but it seems they don't have a public one. They keep their FTP servers private. That's pretty smart, actually. At least nothing gets leaked like this.

[spiraldoor]

Ubisoft are pretty stupid.

Or whoever is in charge of their servers, at least.

[Droolie]

That made me think too much of that stupid Kleaneasy. XD

[spiraldoor]

Intentional; look at the word next to it in my post.

[Joshua822]

I'm really trilled about BG&E as well. Seems that it's a great game, but i didn't really get on how to play it until now ( i should start reading the manuals for games as well ).

I think BG&E 2 is set on earth actually, i could be wrong though, but looking at it makes me think so.

And that public FTP server is actually a good marketing trick, if you leak some artwork for a upcoming game once in a while and people notice it, you are creating interest for the product.

Sega's even more. Did you know that Unleashed trailers were extracted using password....

"supersonic"?

[Cairnie]

To answer Spiral's question, FTP = File transfer protocol, aka what people use to upload websites with. If it's public, anyone can nick shit from it, and we all know how good Ubi are at leaving things open.

[Joshua822]

StaceyW, the file transfer protocol can be used for any type of files, and on FTP servers they're general not used for websites, but for other content. But, indeed, it is also used to transfer websites from the designers computer to the server.
