The official story: "We are exploring the idea of a PC version."--BioWare co-CEO Ray Muzyka.
What we heard: While at the European Developers Forum--the GDCE wannabe that ran alongside Game Stars Live! and EGN in London last week--Muzyka talked to Sanqualis about Jade Empire. Naturally, he was asked whether, like Knights of the Old Republic, the currently Xbox-only RPG would come to PC. "We're certainly interested in the idea," he said. "We own the IP, and we're interested in developing for the PC." Myzuka then dispelled any notion that Microsoft, eager for Xbox exclusives, would pay BioWare to keep Jade Empire solely on its console. "Microsoft's interested too," he said, all but sealing the deal. "But until it's officially announced, it's not something I can confirm or deny."
Bogus or not bogus?: Not bogus. It's just a matter of time.

I've been anxiously waiting for news of the ICO follow-up to be announced and have been looking at that countdown page every hour or so since it first came up. ICO is probably my favorite game this gen and I am looking forward to its successor more than anything else. Ladies and gents, I present to you the game previously known as NICO, now titled Wanda and the Collosus:
Gorgeous! Horse-back, a giant, a desert... man I can't wait to see how it plays!
The website intro reads "We're fighting to meet you again", and more will be revealed at TGS! I can't wait!!
And for comparison's sake here are some of the leaked NICO screens from way back:
Honestly, it's been going on for a few years now, and it's kinda disgusting exactly how much total trash labelled "alternative medicine" is making the rounds these days.
So, with things like "magnetic therapy" (sans MRI), homeopathic "medicine", the Atkins diet, and that great elixer made from a root found only on the tallest mountain of China that's a sure thing to cure what ailes you, how long is it until we actually, I mean we REALLY DO, start seeing mercury being sold as medicine?
I'm serious, Star Wars fanboys are more annoying than Trekkies, id fanboys, and general video game fanboys put together. At least from what I've seen. Anywhere you go you'll see people bitching to no end about how George Lucas "raped my childhood!", hates his fans (even if that were true who could blame him?), is satan, etc. etc. The Star Wars trilogy is coming out on DVD soon and you can't go to any message board without seeing people bitch and moan for a hundred pages about how terrible they think certain things are (even though all the changes are improvements over the SE). I really don't understand that mentality. If you hate the movies so much why the fuck are you wasting so much of your free time complaining about them? And none of them agree on most of the same stuff, they each want their own personal version of Star Wars to be made. It's maddening. Most of the time it's just complaining for the sake of complaining (like how in a couple of scenes on the dvds ILM didn't update some lightsaber shots... WHICH RUINS THE ENTIRE SAGA!).
Complaining isn't always bad, but when there's absolutely no balance and all you can do is complain then you need to shut the fuck up and stop posting on message boards. I complain about Nintendo stuff all of the time, but I praise them for various things even more frequently. They're dumb for being anti-online, but holy crap do their games kick ass, etc. To conclude my bitching about people bitching, fanboys are idiots. Especially SW ones.
