You know, I was thinking: The Watchmen movie had a very checkered production history, dating back to when the first issue of the miniseries was released. Hey, Pyro, given the different circumstances, do you think maybe an earlier Watchmen film is possible.
It's possible, but I haven't given it much thought.
Seeing this trailer... it makes me wonder how Argonaut will reconcile the animal cast of Star Fox with the human focused Squad Four and Space Squadron X, especially with the different tone in terms of presentation.
Squad Four aren't from Earth so they probably would not even know what a fox or any of the other animals are... best example Rocket the Raccoon in GotG film. To them they are just some other alien in a universe full of aliens.Seeing this trailer... it makes me wonder how Argonaut will reconcile the animal cast of Star Fox with the human focused Squad Four and Space Squadron X, especially with the different tone in terms of presentation.
The authors have said during the end of 1998 update. I'm guessing it might have already happened with them losing out on the Potter license.I'm still hoping for Nintendo-Sony to get over confident and make a blunder, and I'm eagerly waiting for the third party to rise in the console race. Sega's position seems to be much more secure than OTL's. "Katana" seems to be a much better name than "Dreamcast". Would it be too late for Microsoft to purchase what's left of Atari to use as their console-manufacturing arm? It'd be a way to skirt around any further anti-trust lawsuits to have them be an autonomous branch of Microsoft.
Been working on E3 1999, and man, this is going to be a massive update. Clip some pizza coupons and buy a two-liter of Dew, tomorrow's update is going to be a marathon to read.
Here's a tease. It's the trailer for Squad Four: Rebellion. (It will also be included in the update, so no need for an index entry for this.)
Katana was actually the Dreamcast's development codename OTL. Not sure why they changed it; but then I'm not sure why they did a lot of things OTL."Katana" seems to be a much better name than "Dreamcast".

If you teased this game, it means it's probably going to be a massive hit, just like the second chapter of the series.
My hypothesis is that they changed the name once it was discovered that "Katana" is a terrible name for a video game console. It has inappropriate war connotations, its overly-Japanese name is an insult to a company that started in Hawaii, and it's just a weird name. Some people just don't appreciate the sheer poetry of "Dreamcast". The first syllable gives it a mystical, almost adventurous feeling, while the second part subtly advertises its online capabilities.
Rants aside, it's extremely common for consoles to be given development names that the company never intends to use. Dolphin became GameCube, Revolution became Wii, stuff like that.

I hope this 2d/3d version of Metroid turns out better than OTLs Other M....
