Hi folks, we'd like to survey the community a little to get a sense of what people want for this thread, and for the Speculation threads more broadly.
At this point, it seems fairly unlikely that there will be any event in July. This was always a distinct possibility, and at the time this thread was made the contingency plan was to simply convert this thread to the Fall Direct Speculation thread at the start of August.
The rationale behind this plan:
- this way will stick closest to the original seasonal schedule of these threads (with the Fall one just starting, uh, very early)
- people enjoy these threads, even if there isn't much to speculate about
Some potential counterpoints to this plan:
- people are starting to feel a little fatigue from the constant speculation
- the line between this thread and the General thread is increasingly unclear
- this thread tends to be more cliquey and can be off-putting to newcomers
So, with this in mind, here are a few proposals for how to handle this thread (and Speculation threads in general) moving forward:
1. Continue with the current plan as outlined above
2. Leave this thread open, and allow these threads to exist more permanently with less formally defined rules
3. Close this thread, and open a new one mid-August
4. Close this thread, and retire these threads for a little while
We are of course open to any and all alternative suggestions. Thanks!

I just wanted to laugh more than a simple Yeah! could convey, because this is pretty fucking funny lmaoooabsolutely surreal to log in to a staff post trying to change the name of my thread again
Happy anime week
It can be open world but still go in a different direction though that is what I expect post BOTW Zelda 3D to be.We've only had one open world Zelda, a bit early to be wanting something new. Assuming BOTW2 builds on BOTW the next Zelda after that should still be open world but be more ambitious on new hardware
My personal vote is a re imagining of the Zelda 2 world as a full open world with both BOTW style dungeons and discrete dungeons like those in Zelda 2 and multiple towns and settlements
wait, what threadban?i'm mildly shocked a threadban took as long as it did and I am fully in favour of it
wait, what threadban?
wait, what threadban?
can't wait for the DK game gone goldAny reaction on this yet ?

"Sorry to keep you waiting!" I told you I had more scoops. This one is a big one. Kid Icarus Uprising is absolutely one of my favorite game...zippospeaks.blogspot.com
From Zippo, yeah, but Bandai Namco was recruting for a Nintendo 3D Action game so that's plausible at least.
I agree. My take on going in a different direction is increasing the ambition. A pretty obvious thing is to map in traditional dungeons into an open world while possibly still keeping the non linearity and exploration focus of BOTW.It can be open world but still go in a different direction though that is what I expect post BOTW Zelda 3D to be.
This guy knows nothing.Any reaction on this yet ?

I can remove the link if you prefer, but seeing how it unfolded with the Star Fox piece, the discussion will happen either way. However, it would be a bit hypocritical to talk about it and not source the rumor.Do we really have to post someone with a bad track record and called us all a homophobic slur?

That person does this all the time. People speculate / make accurate guesses about something / leakers or industry folks share info and then sooner or later he will come around with his Special Zippo Sauce of Bullshit™ piggybacking etc.More context :
Bandai Namco Studios is developing a 3D action game for a Nintendo contracted project (probably a remaster/remake?)
Develop as a planner for a 3D action game project for a Nintendo contracted project. https://bandainamcostudios.snar.jp/jobboard/detail.aspx?id=qz8IL4XM5YdrlPwPuO7Dog As a visual artist for a 3D action game project for a Nintendo contracted project You will be responsible for image sketching...famiboards.com
Like I said, I wouldn't have shared the piece if Bandai Namco was not recruiting for a project that would fit Kid Icarus HD to a T.
I ignored that thread the moment I saw it on the board but that doesn't sound greatI think he is talking about the Xenoblade 3 Spoiler Thread lock
edit: nevermind
nah. it wasn't about Xenoblade at all. It was about a certain user in this very thread.I ignored that thread the moment I saw it on the board but that doesn't sound great
phew. my blissful ignorance will remain intact another weeknah. it wasn't about Xenoblade at all. It was about a certain user in this very thread.
I want to believe him so bad.Any reaction on this yet ?

I know how you feel. I was once like you after he dropped the DK gone gold bs...I want to believe him so bad.
To be fair, somebody pretending to be an insider could do their guesswork based on the same information for the exact reason that it will look more plausible. I'm not saying it's necessarily the case here, just that even a fake insider would have the same prior knowledge we do to construct their lies.Like I said, I wouldn't have shared the piece if Bandai Namco was not recruiting for a project that would fit Kid Icarus HD to a T.
Yeah it always sounds interesting and well written from what I gathered. At least he is creative. He should rebrand his blog as fanfiction.I want to believe him so bad.
hahahaha did he reallyDo we really have to post someone with a bad track record and called us all a homophobic slur?
Zippo's response:How Zippo makes leaks
search google for latest rumors and hiring calls and tries to make it somewhat believable
After he was perma banned on ERA he called everyone in the Nintendo direct thread on ERA a homophobic slur. You can guess which one.hahahaha did he really
Did he really? Imagine being so desperate for attention to the point where it's embarrassingly pathetic that you gotta go THAT far?Do we really have to post someone with a bad track record and called us all a homophobic slur?
I feel robbed, not a single stinky horse
Me.I have a real deal for you right there. Who is more credible? Zippo or SamusHunter? hahaha
Zippo has actually gotten stuff right in the pastI have a real deal for you right there. Who is more credible? Zippo or SamusHunter? hahaha
"Can we please mention the GOAT himself, Markom-?"I have a real deal for you right there. Who is more credible? Zippo or SamusHunter? hahaha

He did that? On his blog? We really should just ban rumors coming from him, specially because we know they’re bullshit.Do we really have to post someone with a bad track record and called us all a homophobic slur?
