"Bloggle Vision" is a weekly, speculative column on topics as near as a day in the future up to as far away as a year. Remember to check back on each entry to see how close the predictions ended up being.
a) As can be seen at the Tokyo Game Show, Square-Enix continues to bleed its existing franchises dry. I predict a Kingdom Hearts movie will be made in the same vein as Advent Children. Only problem being that Disney will be a dick about the use of its characters, forcing Square-Enix to focus the story soley on the original characters like Sora, Riku, etc. It will come out on the 10th anniversary of the first Kingdom Hearts game.
b) Metal Gear Solid 4 is shaping up to be the end all game in the series. I predict the Chinese will finally have an in-game presence after being mentioned several times in previous titles. Check out the photos of some of the models used for Metal Gear Solid 4.
c) Smash Bros. Dojo has revealed all the characters that have to date been seen in screenshots and footage. I predict next week's character reveal to be Luigi.

Bloggle Vision: Undead Edition
"Bloggle Vision" is a weekly, speculative column on topics as near as a day in the future up to as far away as a year. Remember to check back on each entry to see how close the predictions ended up being.
a) This Sunday is WWE's Unforgiven. It's a given that Undertaker will win in his return match against Mark Henry. But will it end there? I say this feud goes on a bit longer and caps off at Survivor Series in some type of stipulation match. I predict a Buried Alive match. I'm also thinking John Cena will lose the belt again Randy Orton in what should be a bloody match.
b) Kotaku reports that Capcom will be making three huge announcements at next week's Tokyo Game Show. One of them will be multiplayer on Resident Evil 5. Another will be a sequel to Dead Rising. The third will be the lifting of exlusivity for various PS3 and Xbox 360 titles.
c) Bloody-Disgusting.com reveals possible sequel news from an interview with George A. Romero. Romero said that if "Diary of the Dead" is successful, then the Weinsteins will want him to write another movie. This will in fact happen because I will do what it takes to bring up the box office sales.

Bloggle Vision: Round 1
"Bloggle Vision" is a weekly, speculative column on topics as near as a day in the future up to as far away as a year. Remember to check back on each entry to see how close the predictions ended up being.
a) The season finale of "Who Wants to Be a Superhero?" airs tonight on Sci-Fi. The final two competitors will be The Defuser and Hyper-Strike. Stan Lee will choose The Defuser because he conforms better to Lee's writing style.
b) WWE Monday Night Raw revealed that Mr. Kennedy is not Mr. McMahon's illegitimate son. His son will be revealed next Monday night. It will still end up being Mr. Kennedy despite the attempt at a swerve. This is based on the clue, "things are looking up." Mr. Kennedy's microphone drops down from the ceiling.
c) "Grand Theft Auto IV" is still set to be released around Quarter 2 of next year (it ends on April 30, 2008). The game's more realistic tone will probably rule out the appearance of a jet pack device. In order to allow the player to explore as much of the massive urban environment as possible, Nico will be skilled at parkour.
d) Production for the live action "Street Fighter" movie is to begin in early 2008. Since the plot centers around Chun-Li and is directed by Andrzej Bartkowiak ("Cradle 2 the Grave"), it will pretty much be a rip-off of female revenge films like "Kill Bill" and "The Brave One."
