Surprise as in to strike with wonder or amazement especially because unexpected.
sounds good to me.. i guess.
I'd wager that it's a new title.
it's all about user base...
This is certainly some exciting news. I'll have to hear some more news about it before getting too excited though.
Hell Yeah!!!!!!
I hope it's a new game; who the hell cares about inferior, year old Xbox ports?
I love Smilebit so this is some damn good news. Whether it's brand new or an XB port of JSRF/Orta I am pretty sure I'll have something to add to my must-have list soon. ;)
*pats his new PS2 on the head*
:)
Fucking PS2...
It better be a new game, and not some crap JSRF port.

Yay, a suprise game on the least capable current console!
Well, it could always be fun...
Could it be that Trigun game?
I kinda half hope its a real shotty port just to further showcase the weakness of the PS2.
I read the title and thought Smilebit and Sonic Team were collaborating on a game :(
Hasn't Smilebit already released at least one PS2 game in Japan? A soccer manager sim or somesuch... or was that on the PSX? Whatever it was, it sold well, so if it was on PSX maybe this is a sequel to it.
That would be a nice alternative, except I wish Smilebit the best and hope one day their niche games start to sell well.Quote:

Let's Make an All Pro Junior Soccer Team(does that even make sense?) or some such thing? I was under the impression that all the "Let's Make..." games sold rather well.Quote:

In local news... I wonder what it'll be like. Thier stuff tends to be a little more lighthearted, and even when it isnt, its not very dark. I wonder if thier going to PS2 means they wanted to make a more serious and darker game. I would be one who would be intrested in seeing them tackle a game such as that.

Gunvalk is pretty serious if you ask me. I would like to maybe see more stuff in that vein, but I doubt that will ever happan. Smilebit seems to have plenty of original ideas so who knows what to expect.
It was fairly serious, but honestly, the story was just tacked on to give some kind of substance inbetween levels. I would like to see a dark and serious action game with a fairly intricate and involved storyline from them. When I say dark, I mean visually too.Quote:

I hope it's not some worthless port.

A "worthless port" would have a lot of value to me. The only Xbox games I really want are the Sega games.... so if they're ported that's worth not spending $300c on an Xbox to me. :)
I think he might mean a port with no added value... like no extra stages or characters or features or something... or maybe he hates you. Either way.

I know what he meant... I am just saying that a port with "no added value" still has the original value to those w/o an Xbox. ;)
Port, enhanced port, brand new game... it all sounds good to me. :)
Gotcha.
If its a port, it would be JSRF. Gunvalk was too niche (and too incomplete imo) and Panzer will still be under the exclusivity agreement with MS. I think it'll be either something new or a remake of some kind though.
