'Flock' revealed as one of Capcom's mystery E3 titles
Capcom has posted a list of titles it will be showing off at this year's E3 expo on its official blog. The roster contains the usual subjects – Bionic Commando, Resident Evil 5, Street Fighter IV – but, as we reported last month, the company will have a couple of surprises in store for attendees.
We now know that one of them is titled Flock, and is, as described by Capcom, a "new super-secret project." Well, it's not that secret if we know its name. Still, it's an odd name ... one that conjures up concepts such as social networking or file sharing, not games. We'd normally say it's a working title, but Capcom's update doesn't list it as such.
Its most recent E3 lineup also includes Mega Man 9 and the previously unveiled Spyborgs. Neither were on the earlier list, so either could be the second "Capcom Project #2" it teased. Or, if you're really into conspiracy theories, neither is, and there's still one secret to be revealed. We like surprises, so we're pinning our hopes on that being the case.

I still shake my head when I hear the name "spyborgs." Sounds like a crappy 3-d animated saturday morning cartoon.

isnt that what they were aiming for?...
mr nimblewick @ Jul 9th 2008 10:30AM
I can't imagine why anyone aims for that.

samfish,
Is that a Megaman level/boss select image around Peach?
You, sir, are fucking brilliant and entertaining with just about every comment. I'd play that level a thousand times over.
Also...what would her power be?

Dead Rising 2! A flock of zombies? I hope so.
OhJustSomeRandomGuy @ Jul 9th 2008 12:17AM
You couldn't even work one Flock of Seagulls joke/reference into the article?
Anticrawl @ Jul 9th 2008 12:50AM
It's some new guy, I'm sure he'll get it soon enough. He's no Ludwig.
Anticrawl @ Jul 9th 2008 12:54AM
But I accept him into the Joystiq community and can't wait to hear more about his views on the topics discussed here! Haha, RvB.

The haircut is the joke.

"Flock off, feather face!"

It must be Mega Man Legends 3. At least, if I hope really really hard that it is, then it has to be.

We saw Flock of Seagulls in Chicago recently . They were very nice guys when we talked to them after the show - yet they never mentioned their game. I am guessing its a 'Keyboard Hero' game.
DEEZNUTZ @ Jul 9th 2008 10:26AM
Now I want to play VICE CITY...
RDX @ Jul 9th 2008 11:03AM
Legends 3 would be cool. That or the announcement of Mega Man 10 through 20. But I guess everyone pretty much knows those are coming eventually.
Questworld @ Jul 10th 2008 1:52AM
I'll bet it's a flying. Not like Ace Combat. It'll be cartoony, for the Wii, and it'll revolve around a Seagull character or some winged creature (not dragons). He needs to get together a flock to help him fight off whatever diabolical villainy.
Party Pooper @ Jul 11th 2008 12:44AM
Flock. Fun. Fun with bells on. Trust me it will have you all laughing and coming back for more.
