VideoGamer.com Rumour mill - Turok dev working on Oblivion-like RPG, Project Offset now PC exclusive, PlayStation Mag coming to PSN and more

Welcome to the Rumour mill, VideoGamer.com's run-down of the big rumours currently doing the rounds in the video game industry. Every week we'll hunt down the juiciest stories and give our opinion on how legit they are. So, whether you want the ridiculous or the plausible, read on.

Project Offset now PC exclusive

The Rumour The highly secretive title is now coming exclusively to PC thanks to Intel's purchase of the development team.

Verdict: Confirmation of platforms isn't the only thing that's been secretive in this project, with little being known on the game itself. It does seem that console owners won't be seeing the game any time soon though, with Remi Arnaud, Senior Graphics Architect and Manager of the Game Engine Technology team at Intel having this to say about cross-platform development.

"We're not limited by the issues most developers have to deal with. As a game developer, you have to sell your game on the PS3, you have to sell it on the Xbox, because that's where the money is. That means you're limited because those platforms are old now. And so, what's coming out now is brand-new and so much better and all kinds of things that are not possible if you have to include cross-platform into your roadmap..."

Sounds like it's coming exclusively to PC then.

Plausibility rating: 5/5
