"Every gaming forum is waiting impatiently for the new exclusive game information (which was supposed to be announced August 3rd), today I’m honored to announce the following game: (please note that it is a concept name, and still can be different when it comes out) Hardware 2.

Hardware 2 is a joint effort being developed by Sony London Studios, Sony Liverpool, and Incognito. This is major news because of the highly talented developers behind this project.


However, I do know that some of you will be disappointed because most people thought Hardware online arena was average, well don’t be… Hardware 2 (concept name) will be different. Similar to the first Hardware you’ll be able to fight in tanks and jeeps, but this time around, bikes and helicopters are added into the fray.

You can fully customize every part on your vehicle including color, items, weapons and more. The biggest change however are the environments: You can fight in a living and breathing world and you can destroy everything…you can even just kill your enemies by letting an apartment building crash into them. The damage will be unbelievable because everything is linked together, when you destroy a building it can crash onto another building and get damaged realistically. Decapitation of limbs, smashing people under buildings, or just being a happy guy that runs over people for a living is something that is normal in Hardware 2 (concept name).

You can look at it as the next gen Carmageddon meets Twisted metal. Did I mention that you will fight 50 vs 50 yet? You can even go berserk and try a deathmatch against 99 other players. You’ve got the basic stuff like Deathmatch, Team Deatchmatch, CTF and King of the Hill but you’ve also got several original game modes, making up a total of 14! Rest assured, these are already created and being tested. You will also have the ability to play mini games online like “do the most damage” or “kill the most pedestrians”.

A cool feature about Hardware 2 (concept name) is something similar to the “Takedown” feature in Burnout Paradise. Every time that you kill an enemy you’ll see a box with a camera inside the vehicle and you see how the character dies and believe me when i say some deaths are very painful to look at. The online part will be very important and they are going to make sure that clan support is included.

You can have a clan emblem, create your own tournaments, and build up your reputation. The reputation is something special. Some games encourage that you destroy buildings and kill innocent people…well, Hardware 2 is different. One should avoid it… you’ll need to make the decision whether your shot will be accurate enough or not, and if you’re wrong, you might kill 50 people! That’s what military is all about. The more ‘clean’ you play, the better your reputation will become.

Much more details and exclusive images are coming soon!"

This is not confirmed, and given the reputation of that terrible site you linked....ugh, never mind. We'll see.

Side note: These guy's originally said the game was to be revealed on the 3rd of August.

It's the 6th of August, still no news..
 
This is supposed to be the game the BBC say is the best game they have ever seen.
 
1) It's a blog. Since when have they been a reliable source for news?

2) I'm fairly sure that this isn't the mystery super-game that the BBC was going on about.

3) The announcement in question was hyped up to be something stupendous, something that would shake the gaming world down to it's very core. Hardware 2 is not that something. Most people who hear about this say the same thing I did... "What's Hardware?"

I say it can live up to the hype if they stay true to their promises, and this game is 100 players online, competley dustructible and interactive enviorments combined with hundreds of pedestrians and amazing graphics then I see why the BBC guy was so hyped about it

...you’ll need to make the decision whether your shot will be accurate enough or not, and if you’re wrong, you might kill 50 people!

So if you shoot an errand missle you could kill 50 pedestrians? That's a hint at how many things will be going on at once.

you make good points. I hope this isn't the mystery game watters was talking about. It doesn't sound like.
