Killer Instinct - Image 1 If the previous Quartermann predictions and rumors have left you saying something to the effect of "I could have told you that", this new batch of buzz may bring back some enthusiasm. He's got juicy bits on a possible new Killer Instinct game, a delay on Call of Duty 5, a new Medal of Honor title, and a revamped Spec Ops sequel. Let's get started:
  • Quartermann says that its UK spies have secured intel that Microsoft-owned Rare is spawning a next-gen version of the classic brawler of the 2D era. Scheduled to be called Killer Instinct 3D: Death, Destruction, and Doom, this new fighting game will sport a new combat system and 3D visuals.
  • In other rumors, Quartermann says that Activision and Treyarch's Call of Duty 5 may slip to February of 2009 instead of late 2008. The devs are under pressure to deliver quality at par with Call of Duty 4 (PC, PS3, Xbox 360), so they're using all the time they can get to make sure all's well.
  • Call of Duty isn't the only shooting game franchise jumping from World War II to the modern age, it seems. Quartermann says the next Medal of Honor game is set to go off in Afghanistan. Will this be a Cold War scenario or something post-9/11? We'll see.
  • Lastly, Quartermann spoke of 2K Games and its supposed effort to beef up the Spec Ops franchise. According to EGM's resident rumormonger, the devs and Take-Two are reviving it to be a top-shelf offering in its next outing.
That's about it for the July issue rumor mill on EGM. Stay with us to see whether these items will be confirmed or debunked.

awesome, i loved playing KI in the arcades when i was young, and later on my friend's SNES, i only had a genesis. i was kinda hoping this would happen after M$ bought Rare. thank god for a lack of original ideas...

this sucks

I would love to play KI again, even if it was the original as a download. But I only want to play it on PS3.
