Thread: False Game Info that piss's you off

    Default False Game Info that piss's you off

    Look where it says Also known as just below the game title. It says Wild Arms 4 is also known as Wild Arms: Alter Code F, which is a remake of the first. Reading this today maked me mad, don't know why, but it did.

    What game reports have made you mad.

    I think EGM reporting that their would be an FFVII remake for the PS3 annoyed me to no end. Not because I wanted to see one, but because we had known there wouldn't be one for about a year and they were blatantly publishing a rumour as fact.

    It was in their "rumors" section. They were blatantly publishing a rumour as a rumour.

    EGM had an April Fools article a few years back about being able to unlock a topless mode in DOAXBV that honestly had me wanting to buy an Xbox until I realized how obviously fake it was.

    I was weak at the time, though.

    EGM also had an April fool's article where it mentioned that Sonic and Tails were unlockable characters in Smash Bros. Melee where you had to eliminate 20 of those polygon characters in the hardest difficulty. I wasted an entire day doing trying to unlock those characters and then finding out the next day it was fake

    Vaan - "Hey, you!"
    Penelo - "Yeah, you! The one reading this sig at this very moment!"
    Vaan - "Interested in playing FFXII International Zodiac Job system?"
    Ashe - "But you have no knowledge of the Japanese language?"
    Fran - "....We could help...."
    Balthier - "That's right, Fran! Just click on Crossblades' thread on the very bottom of this signature and it will show you all license grid translations, magicks and tecks locations, and other changes that were made!"
    Basch - "Don't forget though. Swap Magic is needed to play this game if you don't own a japanese PS2."
    Vaan - "Also remember that if you played the original, you'll have an easier time playing the international version. We hope you enjoy the International Zodiac Job System experience. See ya then!"

    You and me both. =P

    I read something about Squeenix making a Seiken Densetsu themed MMO in EGM's rumor mill a while ago and haven't heard anything about that since.

    Namco X Capcom's US release, I'm not gonna say more because doing so would cause me to mass murder babies.

    No actually, it wasn't in the rumours section. I have the issue, not to mention the scan to prove it.

    I only did it for about 10 minutes before seeing the date on the picture. Still, that sucked.

    Sites like IGN and Gamespot bother me simply because they have so many games to cover, they often don't get around to updating news or release dates for some of them, and having sites with conflicting information is a pain in the ass.

    EDIT: I've never seen that image in an issue of EGM, but it's quite possible I just missed it. It was originally in their Rumor Mill, though.

    Well you obviously went back in time and changed the past. I'm onto you!

    It's pretty obvious considering that back then Sega still mostly owned Sonic.
