The 10 Biggest PS2 Rumors Analyzed

Posted by simoniker on from the won't-burn-patterns-in-your-toast dept.

Thanks to an anonymous reader for pointing to IGN.com's article discussing the 10 biggest Playstation 2 rumors currently circulating. Subjects discussed include whether Final Fantasy VII-2 is really planned, if there's actually a sequel to Ico called Nico, the chances of Starcraft:Ghost ever appearing on PS2 (low, apparently?), the likelihood that UGO/Sega are working on an Astro Boy game, and, naturally, rumors about the PS3. As IGN so succintly puts it: "What's the truth worth when you have imagination?"

    The Final Fantasy VII remake/sequel rumors have been circulating on the 'net for years. They've become so ingrained into Final Fantasy fandom that recently, the webmaster of the FF7 Citadel placed a whole "sequels" page in the site's rumor section (which otherwise covers rumors on hidden items and such in the game itself).

    Yoshinori Kitase is right: it would be a big gamble for Square if they attempted a sequel to FF7, as the numerous fans of the game would be extra critical of such a game. I, for one, wouldn't want to see a sequel... there's no real need for one.
