At least now we can show the real cipher key image in the start post.

I've created a copy of the second YouTube video (Ignition).

In case they remove it again:

Nice music for the video btw

Here is mine...I also have it posted on my own forum for all to see ;) It shows as Cipher Key 6...it's the ROT+4 (the only one that doesn't actually make a word....)

Cipher_Key_6.jpg

when loki posted the new video i went to her youtube acount and the were some info about her. it was Gm7. i cheked the web its some sort of guitar accord but i cant make anything of it, maybe some of you can

Where did you see that?

Perhaps you read the profile of a user who re-uploaded the original?

I think the metal on the rock isnt special or something...

It's just a animation created for the video.

Notice when she heats the metal, the first G of vanishinG moves downwards a few centimeters (between 00:11 and 00:12). The last part is the first part played in reverse, you notice it again at 00:40

I can't find any obvious clues in the video... (yet)

Another thing, are we all 100% sure the videos on the USB keys are all exactly the same? I mean has anyone thought of comparing the filesizes or maybe even doing a checksum of the file to compare here on neowin? It would be a real kicker if there were several versions with minor and subtle changes and no-one noticed since no single person has compared them all.

Let me start, here's the file details of mine. Please compare the exact size with yours and note any differences here:

Here is mine :) Decent point about the boot screen, although I'm pretty certain they plan to keep it like that in promoting quick booting and hardware that boots quickly enough that you won't have time to see a boot screen, although I could be wrong, the extras is also something decent to think of, noone knows anything about those thus far ;)

The Real Boot Screen for Vista ? Somehow I doubt the final retail release will boot black screen.

I think you are in denial about that. The version everyone has now is the final version and does not contain a boot screen. I would prefer one myself, but I don't think that is going to happen.

Oh and I agree about there likely being more keys and information before the 8th.

Hmm

Something less than a thousand may have seen ?

Vista Extras - Still only speculation ?

Just a thought.

I still think there will be more keys.

After the RTM...there's basically no chance of anything new.

Edit: As for those extras...Maybe a nice $39.99 Vista Plus! would be released..

At least i hope not!

Hey guys, yes, this is my first post and unfortunately for me I caught hold of this thread at page 100 so I've tried to learn what I can but if someone has posted something similar to my post I apologise for bringing things back up.

At the moment I think that the two things that intrigue me most is the fact that this "Loki" character has made what looks like two mistakes. Now for someone to write what we have seen in /biography, she certainly doesn't look like the type of person to be making mistakes, and it is read there that "Once I realized I didn?t have to give the right answer, even when I knew it, life got easier."

Maybe we should look into her mistakes more, but who knows, it seems as if at this point we have solved all to be solved and may aswell just wait for the countdown to end,

The other thing which intrigues me is the countdowns. I think a lot can be learnt from these countdowns that show us how to game will progress. We see that the LA, Sydney, Miami, Austin and Pheonix countdowns will end around a week after the Las Vegas countdown. But then there's another week untill the Singapore, Berlin, London, Toronto and San Fran countdowns end . I predict that we will receive the twelve puzzles at these meets, and maybe have backup ones posted on forums and such, but they will have to be solved to get the locations to the next meets (the LV meet will give us puzzles to locate the LA, Sydney, Miami, Austin and Pheonix meets, and at these meets we will get puzzles to find the location of the Singapore, Berlin, London, Toronto and San Fran meets).

Then we have the Seattle meet in Washington. This seems to be the end of the game. What I think will happen is something along the lines of the people who work out the puzzles from the last meets will get plane tickets to this last meet, as I doubt that they'd have meets all over the world and end it with one somewhere where many people can't go. And at this last meet the prizes will be rewarded. Maybe we will have to find Loki in Seattle...

Anyway this is what I picked up from reading the /CIRCUMAMBULATION page and other pages. I know it's long but I hope it contributes.

lets be serious... Microsoft is gonna announce something at CES on Monday and give away some prizes to some people who are able to be there. Nobody is gonna get famous off of this thing. It's just to get people intrigued as to what the whole thing is about so people pay attention to what they have to say.

I really doubt it's anything THAT important.

i was looking at the ignition video and the very last scene seemed interesting. She seems to be pointing towards the house in the background. Anybody can recognise the location of the scene? Maybe some Seattle residents?

    • Mafia: The Old Country expansion Man of Honor announced, brings back Salieri from original by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe During Summer Game Fest, 2K and Hanger 13 brought out a new Mafia: The Old Country trailer, revealing the game's first expansion. Named Man of Honor, this is slated to add two new chapters to the Enzo storyline that the game follows. There is an iconic character returning to the series with this expansion, with players set to run into Ennio Salieri, the future Don of the Salieri crime family. Fans of the original Mafia, or its Definitive Edition remake, may remember that name as one of the biggest characters in the storyline. This expansion is set prior to his rise to being the kingpin in the City of Lost Heaven. "Set in Sicily during the winter of 1905, Enzo Favara has proven himself a reliable soldier of the Torrisi crime family in the months since his initiation," says the studio about the new chapters. "Now, the Don entrusts him and Cesare with a delicate assignment of assisting Ennio Salieri, a man of honor recently released from prison and intent on reclaiming what is his." Working at Salieri's side, players will be heading into fresh environments as they return to the role of Enzo as a high-ranking soldato. The studio also promises brand-new weapons, fresh vehicles, and charms to collect in this expansion. Moreover, the expansion will add new content to the updated Free Ride mode. Alongside new collectibles and locations, this will add more challenges to beat alongside Salieri, which are described as runs that will "test the skills of even the most elite mafiosi." The Mafia: The Old Country Man of Honor story expansion will release on August 14, 2026, across PC, Xbox Series X|S, and PlayStation 5. It will cost $10 for owners of the base game to jump into.

    • Telltale returns with The Wolf Among Us, re-revealing the sequel and a new remaster by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe Telltale Games, the studio known for its episodic games from the 2000s, had a surprise appearance at the Summer Game Fest showcase today. The studio has gone through a collapse, an acquisition, and a revival but has largely gone silent in recent years. Today's sudden announcement was for the popular The Wolf Among Us series, with news about the sequel and a remaster dropping. Set after the events of the 2013-released title, the sequel will bring back Biby Wolf for a new adventure in Fabletown. This town of fairy tale characters is becoming unstable, with Snow White not being able to keep order as before. "When a brutal series of crimes threatens to fracture the fragile balance holding Fabletown together, Bigby Wolf, sheriff of Fabletown, finds himself drawn into a dangerous conspiracy that reaches deep into the city’s criminal underworld," says the studio. "As suspicion spreads across the city and powerful forces work against him, Bigby must uncover the truth and decide what kind of sheriff - and what kind of wolf - he is willing to become." At the same time, Telltale also announced The Wolf Among Us Remastered, bringing back the classic with a fresh coat of paint. This will include all five episodes from the original game plus over an hour of extra content that will offer behind-the-scenes videos, cast interviews, image galleries, and deleted scenes. The remaster will also have updated visuals and improved UI elements and accessibility features, alongside upgrades to the animations, audio, and frame rates. Telltale has been working on this project for almost a decade now, but if the new release schedule holds, fans will be able to jump into The Wolf Among Us 2 sometime in 2027. As for The Wolf Among Us Remastered, this is slated to release during this holiday season.

    • Alien Isolation 2 will bring a new protagonist and setting, watch the reveal trailer here by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe Only a few weeks ago, Sega and Creative Assembly dropped a teaser for a new Alien Isolation. Today at Summer Game Fest, Alien: Isolation 2 was officially announced with a new trailer while also confirming a whole lot of information about the setting of this survival horror project. Check out the reveal trailer above. Leaving behind the Sevastopol space station, the sequel will take players to a remote colony world. With a Xenomorph (or more) on the loose, players will be navigating both the surface of the weather-ravaged planet as well as "the claustrophobic confines of the Weyland-Yutani outpost of Kurosaki Station." Interestingly, Creative Assembly is leaving behind Amanda Ripley, the daughter of Alien's Ellen Ripley, as the protagonist too. While it hasn't confirmed a name yet, players will be taking the role of a new character for this new adventure. The setting is also being described as a new hunting ground for the Alien. This will have players improvising and developing new tools to aid in their survival and escape, all to avoid "cinema’s deadliest killer." "It has been over a decade since we created the original Alien: Isolation and I am so excited to show everyone the first glimpse of the sequel," says Al Hope, Creative Director at Creative Assembly. "Our dedicated Survival team at Creative Assembly has been working hard to create a new, evolved Isolation experience continuing the legacy of the Alien franchise, making the eponymous killer smarter, the environment harsher and the chance of survival slimmer." Promising the same deadly tension from the original from over a decade ago, Alien: Isolation 2 is in development for PC, Xbox Series X|S, Nintendo Switch 2, and PlayStation 5. A release date has not been announced yet.
