That's where the black magic comes in I believe.

Yeaaah. They are going to need a bit more than black magic then.

White magic, blue magic, yellow magic . . . gold . . . purple . . . fuchsia . . . plaid . . . mauve . . .

Xbox 360: Unannounced AAA exclusive confirmed???

Quote:
We got word today, however, that one of the four slots is for an unannounced new AAA exclusive. “AAA” is their word not ours, and it was all we were told. Excitement, much?

Is it a new IP, or is it a sequel? The word ‘unannounced’ removes the likes of Splinter Cell: Conviction, APB, Mass Effect 2, Blue Dragon 2 and the hotly rumoured Duke Nukem: Forever from the possibility list. Technically it could refer to Forza Motorsport 3 which has not been officially announced, although every man and his Valvoline can knows the sucker is coming after a year of consistent leaks. Regular cohorts Lionhead seem to be focused on Fable 2 DLC, Ensemble is dead, Bungie has Halo: ODST and Epic Games are working on additional campaign content for Gears of War 2 (although there is that Nano.Strike rumour...). And Rockstar has told us there will be no GTA IV: Episode II at E3. You know who that leaves? Rare…

So Viva Piñata 3: Epic Whack Off it is!! Nah, just joking. Triple A they reckon: could this be Kojima’s new project? Anyway we could speculate forever: how about you guys tell us what you think it will be in the comments below while we get about making sure we are behind that closed door!

I love how Duke Nukem Forever is "hotly rumored"--on what planet?

Nano.Strike seems more likely than Gears 3, as if this rumor really means anything.

Then again, you've been dropping hints about this for a while, and I don't think it seems all that likely either. L4D just came out last year.. would Valve really deliver a sequel to a game so hastily? It seems really out of character.

Especially when they've yet to properly reveal CS2.

Not likely as epic is gonna show some campaign DLC for Gears 2 on E3 and its way to early for Gears 3 i suppose.

Maybe they'll show Dedicated Servers so that the MP portion of their game is a viable thing to play. </end beating dead horse>

I think this E3 is going to be a let down, but we'll see. I think since the change they went through E3 isn't going to showcase as much big news as it used to. I'd tell all of you not to get your hopes up yet

This + Counter Strike 2 would be awesome. If Valve does drop more L4D on us (as Deft keeps hinting) I'll be a little disappointed. The game is WAY too current for Valve to be working on a sequel already. It just doesn't make sense.

They could just be showing off a major update in the form of additional "movies". That would be splendid.

Major updates, that I can see. I still want CS2 though.. which is a bit odd since I was never a huge Counter Strike fan. I guess my experience with COD4 has made me much more receptive to a new CS. Plus it's already been established that it's in the works.. and a new Valve game with that sort of profile.. is a must see!

I'm afraid of valve even attempting a cs 2 because they'll probably screw it up just like they screwed up cs with their recent attempt to fix russian walking aka crouch hopping.

They rolled back and fixed the issue, but it seems to me like they've lost site of how to make a good successor to CS 1.6.

Source is a complete joke.

If they achieve gameplay as good as 1.6 with improved graphics and go out of their way to add some cool additions to the game, they could have a huge hit, but I don't see it happening.

I do.. the Source versus 1.6 argument is sort of old and tired. There are plenty of problems with CSS but to expect them all to carry over to a new game is a bit harsh. I'm excited by the premise that this will be something completely new... and not a remake just CSS. I want to see them take some big chances with CS2. I don't want it to be CSS with new guns and new maps--I want new gameplay.

And I'm pretty certain that it will be a huge hit. Will it replace CSS completely? I'm not sure... but I sure hope so. 1.6 is here for the long haul though. It has too large of a dedicated player base to ever really mess with... and it runs on everybodies PC.

With that said, I think there's a huge audience for a new CS and I'm pretty sure that Valve knows it. They've already said that CS2 won't be part of a bigger package, that it will be a stand alone product and that they believe in the franchises power to deliver on that level. I say bring it on.

No body is perfect. I still want a new Battlefield game despite all the problems I have with BF2 too.
