What. The. Hell?
The picture looks somewhat cartoonish and "hokage" could either be a weird anagram, some code, Japanese (could mean something like either "silhouette of a sail" or "shadow by the light of a fire", depending on the actual Japanese writing) or complete rubbish.

And based on comments here, there may be a fourth title that Brad will be working on.

That'd be cool...
Are you gonna port the sequel Win/Win too? The gameplay's basically the same, but all of the bullets fly in reverse and its actually downloading random files from the internet (mainly pr0n). And if you get hit by a file and win, then the game installs a daemon which just downloads the entirety of Wikipedia, BBC News, and several pr0n sites to your HDD, then chooses a random encryption, password and compression format, compresses the files into numerous pieces, then deletes the file identifiers.

I suggested Fallout 3, Mass Effect, Dawn of War, and STALKER, but Edwin shot them all down.

Stormrise also came to mind for me, but seeing it basically floundered and no longer seems to be supported with a planned patch cancelled, I highly doubt it.
Maybe I'm mixing things up, but it's very difficult to draw a connection between Hokage and the cartoonish picture on the Feral page and Project Ash beyond the already mentioned Pokemon. But I guess it being hard is the point.

I'm not quite sure how the Project Ash reference fits in though. If I were to go for a stretch, Edwin said it was the original developers who codenamed this Ash rather than Feral while Thierry just threw out Phoenix and it's well known that Michel Ancel has been trying to push out the rest of the Beyond Good and Evil trilogy for a while, so perhaps the Mac port is the first step in the series rising from the ashes. Wow, I'm really grasping at straws here.

Excellent guess.
If this turns out to be true it's even better than the exposing of Star Wars: The Force Unleashed.

Nope.

You can guess. That is to say, you can guess. Wait, no. you can guess.
You just can't guess correctly...
@ltcommander: I took what Edwin said to mean that the codename for the game whilst it was in development by the original team was Project Ash. Not that they've given Feral a codename to use for the port...
So sorry, but I don't get the feeling that its Beyond Good and Evil. Im not saying that BG&E isn't what Robosoft's clue is/means, just that I don't think that it refers to Project Ash.
