They had me at “Next SSX.” I remember playing the original SSX into the wee hours in my college dorm.

From Kotaku:

EA Canada has been working on a new SSX entry for the PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 for the past two years, according to a source familiar with development of the game. The next SSX, that source claims, will take the game “back to its roots,” but feature controls similar to EA’s Skate franchise, using a controller’s right analog stick to perform tricks. Development of the game is said to be handled by much of the Skate team.

Rumor/Leak of the Day – Upcoming Blizzard Product Slate

And here’s your rumor of the day. It’s a leaked slide from a probable internal Blizzard presentation a few months ago. Other than a Diablo 3 release date of Q4 2012, most of the upcoming release schedule is fairly predictable.

Well other than this:

Titan
Yeah, that’s Blizzard’s new MMOFPS and I might have hinted at that in the past but I don’t have a lot of extra information about it and the release date is just an estimation. Don’t assume that it will be released by the end of 2013 based on that document, it would be very stupid. (Edit: Titan is a new game by the way, not an existing IP. But I’m really not sure what’s the plan with it, I just know that the FPS bit is most likely here to stay)

Quake 3 Running On iPhone/iPod Touch?

I came across this video of a supposed Quake 3 port to the iPhone/iPod Touch yesterday. From my quick detective skills, it looks like the work of a Canadian developer from Hermitworks.

This could all be a complete fabrication for all I know, but goddamn do I want to believe its veracity. The framerate looks very smooth and bodes well for the iPhone/iPod touch as able gaming devices, at least graphically. The controls, on the other hand, seem to be pretty awkward for a twitch shooter like Quake 3.

I wouldn’t plan on beating fatal1ty on your iPhone, but at least you can say your phone runs Quake 3! We might have to update the age old tech gadget question to: “Yeah, but can it run Doom 3?”
