Folklore Devs Working On Secret Movie Game

Movie video game producers Brash Entertainment (Jumper: Griffin's Story, Alvin and the Chipmunks) has signed a deal with Japanese developer Game Republic (Genji series, Folklore) to work together on a game based on a "popular Hollywood film". While we've no idea what movie the game is to be based on, famed Game Republic CEO Yoshiki Okamoto hints at a fantasy theme.
"In collaborating with Brash, we were introduced to a very compelling fictional world and given the freedom to expand it through the game. We are working directly with the creative talent from the film, and feel that the close collaboration will result in an amazing game play experience that immerses the player in an incredible fantasy world."
Incredible fantasy world with a 2010 release? Warner Bros. 2010 remake of Clash of the Titans would certainly fit the bill, with the original film allowing it the "popular Hollywood" film label, and Brash does have an agreement with Warner Bros. Interactive Entertainment. Just my speculation mind you. We'll just have to wait and see! More »

Folklore Fans Find Something Under The Christmas Tree

I'm a sucker for holiday themed timed events and downloadable content, so Sony releasing an add-on pack for Folklore replete with Christmas-y outfits ensures I'll dedicate the hardware space. I may even run out and buy Folklore at some point! Yes, it's that enticing. The details on main characters Ellen and Keats holiday get ups are at the official PlayStation blog, but for those unwilling to venture out of the Kotaku fort, the deal is this—a snow bunny outfit for the lady, a fantastically and fashionably ironic reindeer sweater for the gentleman.

In addition to those the new togs, a new quest for Keats dubbed "Holy Night Visitor" and a new Folk that goes by the name Grab Bag—it's a gaping mouthed present with legs—will also come with your download. Not bad!

FolksSoul Becomes Folklore?

Unknown Realms. Monster Kingdom. FolksSoul. If there's one thing Game Republic and Sony aren't lacking in for their PLAYSTATION 3 action RPG, it's names for the project. They got names comin' out of their folkin' eyeballs. More »

Kotaku Magu: Three Tries, One Really Bad PS3 Title

Worst. Title. Ever. Originally, dev Game Republic's PS3 title was Monster Kingdom (meh). Then it was dubbed Unknown Realms (vague, but decent). This week's Famitsu unveiled the game's new and final name, Folks Soul: The Lost Folklore. Just look at how awful it looks in print! And say it out loud: I just bought Folks Soul. What do you think of Folks Soul? You digging Folks Soul? It sounds like a bad compilation CD. A really bad one — Like one with Donovan, but without Dylan because they couldn't afford for the rights to his music. It sounds that bad. For those not familiar with Folks Soul (ungh), the game follows young Ellen as she goes to a mysterious town to meet her dead mom. The biggest mystery, though, is why Game Republic couldn't give this game a decent name. Brian Ashcraft

Okamoto Talks Genji, Losing The Rumble

Game Republic honcho, Street Fighter creator and general wild-man Yoshiki Okamoto talks about his team's work on Genji: Days of the Blade. He tells game site Kikizo that work on the title had begun before Sony had even announced the PS3 specs. The title was originally slotted as a PS2 title. What about that rumble-for-motion-sensing swicheroo? Okamoto says: More »
