Capcom’s Two Mystery Titles

[Dukefrukem]

Because of Campcom’s recent E3 title showcase list that they just released, there is a lot of excitement based around what we are expecting Campcom will showcase; Titles include, GRIN's Bionic Commando, Bionic Commando Rearmed, Airtight Games' Dark Void, Infinite Interactive's Neopets Puzzle Adventure, Certain Affinity's Plunder, and Bionic Games' Spyborgs. Then of course there are the titles, including MotoGP 08, Resident Evil 5, Street Fighter IV, and Super Street Fighter II Turbo HD Remix.

But Gamespot has introduced the idea around two mystery titles on the list, Capcom Project #1 and Capcom Project #2, and that one of those titles could be Dead Rising 2. In 2006, Capcom VP Mark Beaumont was quoted; "Bringing out Dead Rising has allowed us to establish a new franchise that we can use for years to come." It’s been plenty of time to develop a sequel, could this be the time to announce it? And if it is Dead Rising 2, will it be coming to the Playstation 3?

For me, when I hear the developer, “Capcom” and “Mystery Title” in the same sentence, I get very excited in hopes that it’s a new survival horror announcement. In this case the only thing that will answer our questions is time. Come July I think we’re gonna be pretty excited.

I almost wonder if capcom wants DR2 to be a launch title for the next xbox. The game would be a must have for everyone who bought the console.

So The two Mystery Titles confirmed at E3 are Dead Rising for the Wii, and a game coming to XBLA/PSN/PC called Flock!

you play a UFO and it is your job to herd animals around

Quote:

SAN MATEO, Calif. — Jul 15, 2008 — Capcom® Entertainment, a leading worldwide developer and publisher of video games, today announced Flock! (working title) for PLAYSTATION®Network, Xbox LIVE® Arcade for the Xbox 360® video game and entertainment system from Microsoft, and Windows® PC. Developed by Proper Games™, whose talented team members are known for their previous work on Lemmings, Crackdown, and Battlefield 2: Modern Combat, Flock! is currently scheduled for a downloadable release this Holiday season.

In Flock!, players take control of a UFO that has been given the challenge of herding farm animals to its mothership through a variety of puzzle-filled interactive levels, including corn fields, pastures and other “plushie”-like environments. In order to succeed, players will have to manage the quirkiness of the animal’s distinct behaviors, as well as solve a series of environmental puzzles using Flock’s! physics-based gameplay. The animals that populate these islands – sheep, chickens, pigs, cows and more – respond to the UFO in all kinds of eccentric ways based on their nature. By finding or creating a passable route across a level, players can herd the animals safely toward their ship. Solving the puzzles within the suggested time limit yields exciting rewards, but players can also take their time in order to find more hidden bonuses. With a unique theme, clever humor and easy pick-up-and-play controls, Flock! promises to be an instant hit with gamers of all ages!

Flock! uses a sophisticated physics engine that drives the challenging puzzle elements of the game. Whether using the Tractor Beam to move obstacles out of the way or the Depressor Beam to stamp out crop circles to guide your herds, being an extraterrestrial has never been this fun! Friends will also be able to join in on the animal herding adventures through co-op play. And when all the levels have been completed, the journey is just getting started as users will be able to make their own customized puzzle-filled levels using the level editor. Flock! comes packed with so much content, the potential fun is out of this world!
