Two secret Xbox reveals for E3?

Two "big" Xbox 360 games to be unveiled at E3, sources tell CVG
Microsoft Game Studios recently showcased its Xbox 360 line-up for the rest of 2008, including big hitters Banjo-Kazooie, Fable 2 and Gears of War 2. But from what we've heard, there are two more planned for the end of the year...

According to well placed sources close to Microsoft, the publisher has two more "big" Xbox 360 games to be revealed for its 2008 line-up.

Where and when will these two games be revealed? According to our own Deep Throat, it'll happen at E3 in Los Angeles, probably during Microsoft's pre-event press conference on Monday, July 14.

Our source didn't specify whether the pair of games will be totally new titles, or just missing names from the 360 line-up (Halo Wars or Alan Wake would be fantastic additions to the 360 Christmas list).

One of the games could even utilise the heavily rumoured 360 motion controller, which is sounding more and more real as the year progresses.

Excellent news then, if true, considering that Microsoft's '08 roster already looks pretty solid with Fable and Gears. Either way, we'll keep our ear to the ground and keep you posted on more developments.

I'm quite happy with the 360's 2008 lineup.

It would be nice to see a couple of new exclusives popping up, but the 360 already has far more exclusives this year than the ps3.
Mind you, metal gear ps3 is getting huge reviews so far, it'll be interesting to see if a 360 exclusive release can match that(gears of war 2 looks likely to be the one).
Fable 2 could be fantastic as well, or maybe left 4 dead, alan wake, too human, halo wars, banjo and others.

Yeah both have some hopefully excellent titles in the pipeline. Although again this year at the moment the 360 lineup is looking stronger(in regards to titles that I want to play) although the PS3 lineup looks a lot better this year to me.

Hopefully the 2 titles they announce will be new IP's exclusive or not.
lonewolf2002 on 31 May '08
One the last time MS had a reveal it turned out to be pacman championship edition, which was great. ive heard rumours of a new galaga game.
roland82 on 31 May '08
One of them's bound to be a new Halo game. Perhaps Peter Jackson's interactive Halo thingy? I don't know. If Microsoft is making a big announcement, remember that they usually contain the word Halo with a number at the end.
bazgil on 31 May '08
Please God, let one be Shenmue III.

Just reading IGNs review of MGS4,i cant wait to play it,i knew it was going to be something special after playing and enjoying the others.

Time to finally buy a Ps3 and then sell it after ive finished MGS4,i think the reveal will be Alan Wake or maybe Resi 5 is coming out at christmas,im hoping its Graw 3 myself.
o Raging Bull o on 31 May '08
It probably won't be but Shenmue III would make my year.
brookie_2001 on 31 May '08
Please God, let one be Shenmue III.

lol we can all dream Very Happy
stedwyer on 31 May '08
It will be

ALAN WAKE + Halo prequel
dandoc2 on 31 May '08
I bet it's something about GTA4 download content and maybe something about Peter Jacksons Halo project.
voodoo341 on 31 May '08
Owning a PS3 i aint intrested one bit in MGS4.

I know Gears 2 will sell more and will be better....Definate GOTY.

When I first played the original Fable I was slightly disappointed because it wasn't as deep a game as it was promised to be (more aracadey). But It was a very charming game that grew on me beautiful graphics, music, and clever. and I played and completed twice and the Lost Chapters! So I cant wait for Fable 2.


As for one of the shocking exclusives... Killer Instinct 3
Rolling Eyes
which i cant help but feel underwhelmed.


P.S. and I loved kicking those chickens!
Lesbiana on 31 May '08
Please God, let one be Shenmue III.

That game alone would probably sell a few million consoles. Id laugh if it was MGS4, would be so funny.
DAEDALUS79 on 31 May '08
Alan Wake. Alan Wake. Alan Wake.

If you do a wee bit of digging around the net there is a lot of speculative info on this game and by the sounds of it it could be something pretty special, then again it could be another Haze.

I dont think it will though. If MS give me a 2 minute gameplay video for Alan Wake at E3 then I will be one happy bunny.

My most anticipated game (of this year)?
StonecoldMC on 31 May '08
There's alot of possibilities as what it could be; Alan Wake, Halo Wars, perhaps Banjoo and Kazooi being put on marketplace, or Goldeneye, Shenmue III, MGS4 (both unfortunately doubtful). The amount of possibilities MS have for games is simply brilliant - if only they'd fulfil them.
level_up on 31 May '08
How about Metal Gear Solid 4 and Final Fantasy XIII?

You never know Razz

Nevertheless, I'm hoping it'll be Alan Wake and either Killer Instinct 3 or Halo Wars.
clarkestar on 31 May '08
Please let it be:
Dead Rising 2 and Shenmue 3.
Please please please please........ Very Happy

How the hell do you work that out?? you have Banjo Gears and Fable, we have MGS4, LittleBigPlanet, Resistance 2, MotorStorm 2, and if you look into 09 we have Killzone 2, ICO 3 and God of War 3

I am not a Sony fanboy, far from it, i think the 360 is a great console but when people come up with things like that it annoys me because it is so untrue

I admit, and would be oneof the first people to admit it, that some of the games coming on 360 are great,namely Fable 2, but Gears isnt that great, it is extremely linear with awesome graphics (i had it), you would walk in to a place, loads of things would pop out, you cover and shoot, then walk to the next place and do the same thing
Midjet on 31 May '08
^idiot

Agreed
Midjet on 31 May '08
If it's MGS4 a lot of Xbox360 owners will not be able to play it. Konami have stated several times it would need a hard drive. Even the PS3 needs almost 5GB of free drive space to play the game.
voodoo341 on 31 May '08
I'm guessing Call of Duty 5 and Bioshock 2 Very Happy
JOEuk91 on 31 May '08

Too right. I already have a 360, but id buy another one just as a Shenmue console, and wouldnt allow any other games to contaminate its glory.

i'd hardly find that funny, considering the game would have to be on like 6 dvd's, unless they make an inferior port and cram it all on 1 dvd. plus, had Microsoft secured MGS4 to the 360, it would've made much more sense to announce it before its PS3 debut, not after. its probably Alan Wake and Halo Wars. Shenmue 3 would be cool, considering PS3 has Yakuza all to itself. but what would be most cool is if it was two new IPs.

Star Wras: KOTOR 3 & Alan wake


Cool
fleeties on 31 May '08
All the games mentioned (Alan Wake, Halo Wars, COD5, Fable 2) have we all know about already. If Microsoft really wants to impress it has to be something totally new that we haven't heard of before.

I get the feeling this is going to be an "Is that it?" moment.

Thats because of the blu ray drives slow read speeds, not due to the capacity of the data on the disk.

How the hell do you work that out?? you have Banjo Gears and Fable, we have MGS4, LittleBigPlanet, Resistance 2, MotorStorm 2, and if you look into 09 we have Killzone 2, ICO 3 and God of War 3

Since you went into 2009, lets make a real list, shall we? In terms of console versions:

Xbox 360
Too Human
Alan Wake
Fable 2
Halo Wars
Gears of War 2
Ninja Gaiden 2
Viva Pinata 2
Left 4 Dead
Banjo Kazooie
Splinter Cell: Conviction
Huxley

PS3
Metal Gear Solid 4
LittleBigPlanet
Resistance 2
MotorStorm 2
Killzone 2
ICO 3
God of War 3
SOCOM: Confrontations

I'm struggling to come up with anymore PS3 titles - please help me if you can. But right now the exclusives, at least the ones we've heard about, come to 12 on the 360 and 8 on PS3.


I am not a Sony fanboy, far from it

You say that, but I find it very hard to believe since you use the term 'you' when talking about 360 games and 'we' when talking about PS3 games.

Maybe it will be forza or gotham or even the bike game can't seriously announce more shooters and expect to be taken seriously.

you can add Infamous, 8 Days, Final Fantasy XIII, Heavy Rain and White Knight Chronicles to the PS3 list. then there's FFXIII Versus and GT5, for what they're worth. also, Conviction is looking murkier and murkier by the minute.

*edit*

to offer my own opinion, i have a 60/40 interest in Too Human, Alan Wake and Conviction, 70/30 L4D and Infinite Undiscovery, 100% interest in GOW2 and Falbe 2, and no interest in any of the remaining listed 360 games. on the PS3 i have a 50/50 interest in 8 days, 60/40 interest in Heavy Rain, 70/30 interest in LBP and Resistance 2, 80/20 interest in Killzone 2 and Infamous, no interest in GT5 and 100% interest in everything else.
atrimus on 31 May '08
xbob you forgotten a few small ps3 games there

Final fantasy 13
7 days to vegas (or what ever)

None of this game fit on the crappy DVD9 disc only on Blu-ray Disc the future. Xbox 360 will never get close to having this many exclusive they hardly got any now so just stf^with all the bs Microsoft doesn't evn make games they just publish they got no talent. Sony is going to destroy Microsoft once and for all is just a matter of time. Xbox fanboys face the facts PS3 has the games you want Xbox is losing every exclusive it had and COD5 will be coming to all consoles is official already. MGS4 will never be possible on Xbox 360 plus Sony has the exclusive right for the Metal Gear Film and the game for ever plus Konami doesn't like Microsoft.

Nobody is talking opinions - we're just talking how many exclusives each system has. Just because you're not interested in certain ones doesnt make them any less exclusive...?

Ivan is clearly mental.

I was right then in my earlier post, the 360 does have more exclusives this year(the whole of 200Coolthan the PS3.
All the sony fanboys were saying 2008 will belong to the PS3, but it's not happening.

Maybe 2009 will be the year of the PS3(i've heard this before).
I'd be quite happy if that were the case as i like my PS3 Very Happy
It's just at the moment i prefer my 360 a bit more(might change in the future).

Being an owner of all 3 consoles, I can confidently say 360 has the better line up with games such as Gears 2, Fable 2, Banjo 3, Ninja Gaiden 2, Too Human and most likley a few more I'm forgetting.
PS3 on the other hand has MGS4, LBP, Resistance 2 and Motorstorm 2. Now can you honestly say that's better than 360? MGS4 and LBP are the only standout titles. The other two are sequels to average launch games.
As for 2009, we can't really comment on that. While Sony like to brag about games far off in the future, MS seem to keep the focus on the here and now.
Also, if I took your take on Gears, would that mean MGS4 is also nothing special as you sneak, kill someone, cut scene, sneak, kill someone, cut scene. Repeat. Roll credits. Game over.
Get my point?
vulcanraven01 on 31 May '08
Ignoring the fanboy war above I think the announcement could be Blue Dragon 2 (or another Mistwalker game), and something for the family (following on from Scene-It? last year).

Of course I wouldn't mind if it was Alan Wake Smile

just buy both consoles cause its never coming out on xbox, best hope is a PC version. snake eater was never released on xobx and this wont either. doesnt help that the game would have to have 4 dvd disks at least

my guess for suprise games for 360

duke nukem (exclusive with pc)
Alan Wake

for PS3

Heavy Rain
that new IP the bbc mentioned possibly

for Wii
The Conduit
donkey kong?

Thats because of the blu ray drives slow read speeds, not due to the capacity of the data on the disk.

That's almost funny.. how fast do you think the Xbox's DVD drive is?
MGS4 fills 40GB of the Blu Ray. Even with good compression thats at least 5 DVD's worth of data.

It is interesting how many people on here are hoping for Shenmue III (before fanboyism took over), it is hardly scientific but surely that is a sign there is a market for it still.

avik
Ignoring the fanboy war above I think the announcement could be Blue Dragon 2 (or another Mistwalker game), and something for the family (following on from Scene-It? last year).

(it's my first post haven't worked out how to properly quote someone yet!)

Anyway, I have to agree there is a good chance they will be promoting something for the family, they have obviously identified the market potential given the Wii's success. However, any plans to break into the family market are doomed to fail in my opinion, no matter how good banjo turns out to be.

Personally I am hoping for more info on Alan Wake, is anybody else getting slightly worried by the lack of info? Remember BC on the original Xbox? fingers crossed eh

Just realised how to quote. Not my finest hour...

I'm quite happy with the 360's 2008 lineup.

It would be nice to see a couple of new exclusives popping up, but the 360 already has far more exclusives this year than the ps3.
Mind you, metal gear ps3 is getting huge reviews so far, it'll be interesting to see if a 360 exclusive release can match that(gears of war 2 looks likely to be the one).
Fable 2 could be fantastic as well, or maybe left 4 dead, alan wake, too human, halo wars, banjo and others.

How the hell do you work that out?? you have Banjo Gears and Fable, we have MGS4, LittleBigPlanet, Resistance 2, MotorStorm 2, and if you look into 09 we have Killzone 2, ICO 3 and God of War 3

I am not a Sony fanboy, far from it, i think the 360 is a great console but when people come up with things like that it annoys me because it is so untrue

I admit, and would be oneof the first people to admit it, that some of the games coming on 360 are great,namely Fable 2, but Gears isnt that great, it is extremely linear with awesome graphics (i had it), you would walk in to a place, loads of things would pop out, you cover and shoot, then walk to the next place and do the same thing

Im pretty sure Gears 2 will be the best Game of this Generation and may be beaten by Gears 3 if its released this gen also.

Resistance 2 dosent look so far that good.

Resistance one was bland and boring, just like Haze.

KZ2 also looks like Haze and a generic FPS. Nothing new or exciting about it.

MotorStorm is just a cheap rip off of Burnout...

LBG i doubt id even get into it and it would be boring after a few minutes...


God of War 3 however could be the PS3's best game....
shiwayb on 31 May '08
Hmm.. I'm hoping that Battlefront 3 might be one. Where the hell is this game?
Bolin on 31 May '08
My guess would be Halo wars and probably, if possible, a game utilizing the so called motion control?
BenJy! on 31 May '08
It is always exciting to have little snippets of news trickle through just before gaming events. E3 used to be like Christmas for me. One of my favourites was the year Nights, Mario 64 and to a lesser extent Crash Bandicoot were being shown.

I don't think the games being shown are as exciting these days. I thought DLC might have been a dream scenario for rejuvination but all has gone a little quiet on that front.

I would really like to see Microsoft hit out in a completely different direction with there big titles. As good as the line-up is I crave diversity that this generation seems to lack a little.

I love it when Xbox 360 fanboy crew try to make the PS3 look bad they fail miserably. There's no point dealing with Xbox owner they will always be on denial when they face facts they try to bash the ps3 a bunch ignorant fanboy. PS3 has way more exclusives and way better games plus talent more game stuio and way more new IPs so makes game while Microsoft just publish no talent there.

voodoo341 on 31 May '08
Killer Instinct and Halo Wars are the two. One problem is that Rare has never been able to release one game on time let alone 3 (Banjo,Pin,KI).
Alan Wake is 2009 for sure straight from Remedy, although a trailer will be shown along with a few surprise such as a new crimson skies,shadowrun and a new forza. Microsoft will show several surprise trailers for 2009 games, took to much heat for not showing any from last years E3. Also a very short and I mean short clip of Peter Jackson's Halo will also be shown. Also Rare will announce 2 new games for next year. A new PD (need to redeem itself) and the second I will be unveiling on my web site www.xboxholics.net when we launch on July 6
All I can say is the 360 is going to have a great fall and great 2009 . Peace out

How the hell do you work that out?? you have Banjo Gears and Fable, we have MGS4, LittleBigPlanet, Resistance 2, MotorStorm 2, and if you look into 09 we have Killzone 2, ICO 3 and God of War 3

Since you went into 2009, lets make a real list, shall we? In terms of console versions:

Xbox 360
Too Human
Alan Wake
Fable 2
Halo Wars
Gears of War 2
Ninja Gaiden 2
Viva Pinata 2
Left 4 Dead
Banjo Kazooie
Splinter Cell: Conviction

PS3
Metal Gear Solid 4
LittleBigPlanet
Resistance 2
MotorStorm 2
Killzone 2
ICO 3
God of War 3
SOCOM: Confrontations

I'm struggling to come up with anymore PS3 titles - please help me if you can. But right now the exclusives, at least the ones we've heard about, come to 12 on the 360 and 8 on PS3.


I am not a Sony fanboy, far from it

You say that, but I find it very hard to believe since you use the term 'you' when talking about 360 games and 'we' when talking about PS3 games.

MrXbob can u just f**kin go away and die somewhere please. Plus its quality not quantity, and plus its peoples opinions, i personally like the PS3's lineup.

How about Metal Gear Solid 4 and Final Fantasy XIII?

You never know Razz

Nevertheless, I'm hoping it'll be Alan Wake and either Killer Instinct 3 or Halo Wars.
If you turn out to be right (I will be the one elbowing his way into the local video game store ahead of you to buy a PS3 and FFXIII(the turn based on)! LOL

You sir, just made my day. You have converted me with your infinite wisdom and eloquent rantings. I must burn my 360 and run out and buy 2 PS3s.

The ONLY exclusive I really care about is Fable 2 and seeing as that has already been announced I don't really care much for your petty squabblings.
PC gaming ftw Very Happy

It will be

ALAN WAKE + Halo prequel

if its a halo prequel its got me on board....nothing more to say as if its needed (dont want to hear any replies from 1 console owners *you know the sad sort*.............f**k off cos your opinion is dilluded and worth bottom paper)....

Please God, let one be Shenmue III.

That game alone would probably sell a few million consoles. Id laugh if it was MGS4, would be so funny.

i'd hardly find that funny, considering the game would have to be on like 6 dvd's, unless they make an inferior port and cram it all on 1 dvd. plus, had Microsoft secured MGS4 to the 360, it would've made much more sense to announce it before its PS3 debut, not after. its probably Alan Wake and Halo Wars. Shenmue 3 would be cool, considering PS3 has Yakuza all to itself. but what would be most cool is if it was two new IPs.

lets just imagine that all that moralistic manga bollox could be compressssed.... the movies ruin mgs bigtime!!!!
headspin on 1 Jun '08
All the games mentioned (Alan Wake, Halo Wars, COD5, Fable 2) have we all know about already. If Microsoft really wants to impress it has to be something totally new that we haven't heard of before.

I get the feeling this is going to be an "Is that it?" moment.

just like the feeling i get from my ps3 at the moment.... cos you see, ive got all 3 consoles and am not a fanboy (*imprresion of any fanboy-could only afford one so i have to slag off anything else, fanboys are the lowest form of s**t you scrape off your shoe after stepping in dogs**t)... YOU'RE ALL SAD f**ks YOU FANBOYS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! ITS JUST FACT, ACCEPT IT............STOP BEING JEALOUS OF THE CONSOLE YOU COULDNT AFFORD COS YOU BOUGHT THE OTHER ONE!!!!!!!!

If it's MGS4 a lot of Xbox360 owners will not be able to play it. Konami have stated several times it would need a hard drive. Even the PS3 needs almost 5GB of free drive space to play the game.

Thats because of the blu ray drives slow read speeds, not due to the capacity of the data on the disk.
You're so full of yourself you make me laugh so much HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!! this is to new x360 exclusives we're talking about, we already know MGS4 is a ps3 exclusive so it defiantly wont be coming to x360, even if it did it would still require about 6 dvds, yes the 5gig install for the ps3 is required because of the slow read speed of the laser but its also because theres hardly any loading time, an remember MGS4 on ps3 kojima filled the whole 50gig of a blu ray disc, which means for it to come on x360 it would NEED let me stress!! NEED about 6 DVD's, so i think you better carry on dreaming!!!

you can add Infamous, 8 Days, Final Fantasy XIII, Heavy Rain and White Knight Chronicles to the PS3 list. then there's FFXIII Versus and GT5, for what they're worth. also, Conviction is looking murkier and murkier by the minute.

*edit*

to offer my own opinion, i have a 60/40 interest in Too Human, Alan Wake and Conviction, 70/30 L4D and Infinite Undiscovery, 100% interest in GOW2 and Falbe 2, and no interest in any of the remaining listed 360 games. on the PS3 i have a 50/50 interest in 8 days, 60/40 interest in Heavy Rain, 70/30 interest in LBP and Resistance 2, 80/20 interest in Killzone 2 and Infamous, no interest in GT5 and 100% interest in everything else.

The best year was 2007, and that year's releases, like Halo 3 and Mass Effect, make 2008 line-up look like an after-thought. WTF is Alan Wake. That is not very interesting imo, nothing that wil be half as good as MGS4, but then again it is PS3's time, as Xbox has already had a lot of good games.

Then there's Haze which also needs an install but it runs in sub HD resolution to keep the frame rate up, so yeah the ps3 really needs that hard drive erm for what exactly?

For all the uneducated its a Survival Horror from Remedy (Max Payne developers) and MGS. If you have a look around the web and read some of the views of peeps within the gaming industry, then it "may" be the game to make you buy a 360, thena again maybe not. Each to their own.

it definitely doesn't look bad, but i don't think it'll be the second coming of Christ. for instance, i'm looking forward to Resident Evil 5 about 1000 times more than i am Alan Wake, but thats not really a fair comparison because RE4 was arguably one of the best game ever made. but no, Alan Wake doesn't look bad by any stretch of the imagination. i'm just wondering what form the action of the game's gonna take. from all i've seen it looks to place emphasis more on investigating and crime-solving than pure scary action like RE. then we still have Silent Hill to consider, and PS3's PSOne remake of Siren, which looks every bit as good as RE5 (graphically at least).

True. There are many great Survival Horror games to come this year and next, the thing with Resi 4 was that although it was a truly great game it more action than horror based, I havent been scared from a game in a long time (damn it). I really like the look of Siren on the PS3 as well, that could be a game that may make look at purchasing a PS3, I think that is deffo coming out this year.

Hardly, all those games require an install on the ps3 thus requiring a hard-drive just as MGS does, where as the same games on the 360 don't and the games run no better on the ps3 than the 360, so just because a ps3 game needing the hard drive does not make it true on the 360.

Oh right... they all require a hard drive because they install... lmao

dickhead! MGS4 will not be released for the Xbox360 because it doesn't have a hard drive as standard.
As games become more complex it's going to be a problem for Microsoft. If you were less of a fanboy you would realise that.
Why was a hard drive standard in the orginal Xbox but not for the Xbox360? Simple answer is Microsoft wanted to over charge for memory cards and hard drive upgrades. All at the expense of stupid fanboys who know no better.

Hardly, all those games require an install on the ps3 thus requiring a hard-drive just as MGS does, where as the same games on the 360 don't and the games run no better on the ps3 than the 360, so just because a ps3 game needing the hard drive does not make it true on the 360.

And theres no need to resort to name calling cause i pwned you Laughing

Oh right... they all require a hard drive because they install... lmao

dickhead

why lmao? the first part of it you agree with the comparison he was making, then you laugh a bit, then you insult him.

not reaaly sure on your angle here.

If it's MGS4 a lot of Xbox360 owners will not be able to play it. Konami have stated several times it would need a hard drive. Even the PS3 needs almost 5GB of free drive space to play the game.

Thats because of the blu ray drives slow read speeds, not due to the capacity of the data on the disk.
You're so full of yourself you make me laugh so much HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!! this is to new x360 exclusives we're talking about, we already know MGS4 is a ps3 exclusive so it defiantly wont be coming to x360, even if it did it would still require about 6 dvds, yes the 5gig install for the ps3 is required because of the slow read speed of the laser but its also because theres hardly any loading time, an remember MGS4 on ps3 kojima filled the whole 50gig of a blu ray disc, which means for it to come on x360 it would NEED let me stress!! NEED about 6 DVD's, so i think you better carry on dreaming!!!

Umm that's funny because GTA on PS3 requires a 5gb install & that fits on a DVD?, & runs just fine on the 360 from the disc?... Anyway if they announce MGS for the 360 i'll throw my PS3 out the f**king window.... Laughing

Thats really funny, I've GTA4 on my PS3 and it's only take up 500Mb. I think your mixing your Mb's and your Gb's up somewhere along the way.

Can't say I've been too impressed by '08 myself gamewise...
Most of the games I've been stupid enough to purchase on release have been s**te...

Yes I'm including Army of two and RSV2 as always Razz
So I got me a PS3 instead...Then I bitched about the MGO beta being s**te

Seems I'm becoming an unpleasable FART or a critic...But I always thought they were the same damn thing?!

Heres to Gears 2, Fable 2 and MGS4!
And a big well done to GTAIV!!! Which after 50 hours I'm still playing with (Story complete don't panic I ain't that bad Razz)

@voodoo341
No mate he ain't mixing his MB and GB your looking in the wrong folder or have a one of a kind product Wink

@hollywood111
And you have more chance of catchin' Avian flu than MGS4 being announced for the X360...Not happening...
BUT! MGS5 will be multiplatform...

You didn't expect Konami to NOT produce another one did you? MGS4 is only Snake and Hideos last adventure not Konamis last.
Zedfragg on 2 Jun '08
Can't be bothered to read the entire thread...

Anyway if there are new secret games to be mentioned i personally would be ever so slightly disappointed if it's not new IP.

I wouldn't be overly suprised if it's either something else from Lionhead or Rare. Although there's obvosuly a good shout for it to be halo wars which i don't think has a confirmed release date yet!

Oh and give over the the MGS thing. Such an outdated story. If you want to play the game buy a PS3.
JohnWalker on 2 Jun '08
Wow soo much hosility on this thread that and the 10 year old fanboys using big words on this topic.

Hardly a suprise that gamers are looked down upon really is it.

Back on topic, I really hope its an original franchise, forget all this Shenmue, Halo Wars crap lets have some innovation. Something original like LBP would be great.
Adam81uk on 2 Jun '08
please please please please let it be

Alan wake and Dead Rising 2 (although capcom may drop DR 2's exclusivitey) but with PS3s slightly more solid line up if these 2 were announced i think it would turn the line ups on thier heads
P.S please PLEASE Alan Wake!!!!!!! Very HappyVery Happy

"I know Gears 2 will sell more and will be better....Definate GOTY"

GTA IV called, wants to talk to you.

as much as I love gears I dont see the sequel being goty material.

EDIT: If you havent seen any info on Alan Wake then this is as good a place to start as any.

http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=0x1WX16vgf0

Holy s**t, that looks amazing. Combined with the other vid where you see the tornado running rampant, man alive.

This really does look like a new generation of Silent Hill - which is no bad thing.

I'm slightly concerned that Alan Wake is a prod towards A.Wake, and it's actually all a dream... They wouldn't do that, surely?

If I remember correctly the idea is his nightmares become reality, surely (/hopefully) a better explanation for the a.wake link
