The Crucible trailer also led some to draw the conclusion that it was the unnamed title that Silicon Knights was developing as a follow-up to Too Human. Sega has since denied that the trailer is that particular project, with a rep going on record saying “it’s definitely not the project that Silicon Knights and SEGA are producing”. The carefully worded statement doesn’t rule out that the game is ultimately Sega’s, but it does tell us to expect something “soon”.

Intellisponse, the marketing firm behind the recent weekend’s massive Activision and Microsoft leak-fest, is declining to comment on its gatekeeping issues or the impact the leaks might have on its clients.

“It is our policy that we do not comment on rumour or speculation”, said spokesperson Elizabeth McCrocklin.

When Kotaku pointed out via email that the fact a leak most certainly occurred, resulting in widespread dissemination of info from the Intellisponse site was, well, a fact, and not a speculation, McCrocklin did not reply.

Intellisponse is a market research firm that partners with companies to help them conduct surveys and glean intelligence for their upcoming products and concepts. It also hosts a survey platform to help its clients conduct market research. It isn’t certain just how actual any of the leaked products are – the leaks came from some of these surveys, so it’s entirely possible that they’re merely theoretical concepts for the purpose of gauging reaction and testing out the market.

For its part, Microsoft also declined to comment with the exact same “rumours and speculation” line, about either the fact of the leak or the concepts that emerged.
