Saints Row Episode 4

 

[Karak]

Thief 4 fits for sure. It is also a surprisingly popular title for that kind of game. I would be all over a sequel.

 

[kutthoat5150]

not the weapon people think about with HL but that would be awesome to the max!

 

[Jb]

The Uncharted games were revealed in game informer weren't they?

VGAs I think. At least for 2.

 

[FStop7]

New Laura Bow game? Colonel's Bequest 2? Dagger of Amon Ra 2?

 

[MikeE21286]

It'd be nice to guess one of these GI covers correctly for once.

I can't remember the last one Detective-GAF was able to uncover.

 

[darkside31337]

The Uncharted games were revealed in game informer weren't they?

VGAs. And then they got Gameinformer covers after that. Was the case with 2 and for Last of Us as well, dont remember what the case was for 3.

 

[Trigger]

Cover has a bow? I'm hoping it's DA3.

 

[Drazgul]

The FUCK? Are you dense? Are you retarded? It's the goddamn Thief.

All joking aside, how can "meh" ever be a reaction to Thief? It's one of the greatest video game series of all time, and hands down the greatest stealth franchise in existence. How could this not lead to inordinate amounts of hype?
.

Because there's a pretty good chance it'll be a piece of crap completely unlike the earlier titles?

 

[DaBuddaDa]

Because there's a pretty good chance it'll be a piece of crap completely unlike the earlier titles?

It's the same studio that made Deus Ex: HR, and they did a pretty good job, eh?

 

[DocSeuss]

Because there's a pretty good chance it'll be a piece of crap completely unlike the earlier titles?

What makes you say that, other than the part where Eidos Montreal had a shitty stealth system in Deus Ex: Human Revolution?

 

[aeroslash]

Any possibility for a new thief?

 

[Xord]

Thief 4

 

[Drazgul]

What makes you say that, other than the part where Eidos Montreal had a shitty stealth system in Deus Ex: Human Revolution?

Exactly that. Stealth is everything in Thief, it can't be anything but stellar. Maps shouldn't be sectioned either, they need to be one massive, seamless area (this was one of the reasons why Hitman: Absolution sucked so badly).

 

[IHaveCandy]

Half-Life 3

Crowbow

 

[Castle Doctrine]

Naughty Dog isn't going to say anything about an Uncharted 4 until after The Last of Us releases.

 

[Kafel]

Thief

 

[Raptor]

This will be the New Zelda.

The Legend of Zelda: The curse of the Dark Arrow!

Believe!!

 

[Noisepurge]

Battlefield 4 now has bows?

Battlefield 3 has bows already.

 

[SolidSnakex]

It's worth pointing out that Andy didn't even have BF3 in his top 10 for 2011. So i'm not sure that this is a BF4 reveal.

 

[JaseC]

Naughty Dog isn't going to say anything about an Uncharted 4 until after The Last of Us releases.

Announcement/teaser trailer at this year's VGAs, methinks. I'm taking the optimistic route and assuming this fourth home console instalment will be the oft-requested Sully prequel.

 

[DocSeuss]

Exactly that. Stealth is everything in Thief, it can't be anything but stellar. Maps shouldn't be sectioned either, they need to be one massive, seamless area (this was one of the reasons why Hitman: Absolution sucked so badly).

I wouldn't necessarily mind segmented (see: Bonehoard, which could be split up into three distinct levels if they really had to) level structure, so long as each one feels like a mini-sandbox.

I mostly worry that they're going to do the whole MGS third person + vision cones + don't run thing again, just like Deus Ex: HR before it.

Thief is all about being in first-person. The design is built around listening to determine whether someone's around the corner, not cheating and letting the camera do it for you.

 

[Iksenpets]

My first thought was Thief, based on the bow, but DA3 seems like it needs to be revealed soon. With ME3 DLC wrapping up BioWare needs to get a new project into the spotlight.

 

[WiiredShawn]

This will be the New Zelda.

The Legend of Zelda: The curse of the Dark Arrow!

Believe!!

Unless GI is flexible enough to consider the 3DS a "next-gen" platform (and I'm not saying they shouldn't, technically speaking, just that they probably don't), that's a pipe dream. (but I suspect you're being sarcastic.)

It's probably DA3. Or Half-Life 3.

Agreed, tho I suppose a 3rd person view is a necessary evil these days. As long as the whole game isn't designed as it being used as the standard.

And as long as it has Benny and crate stacking, I can forgive a lot!

 

[Future PhaZe]

Going to be real interesting to see if Respawn can make a game to rival CoD from a sales perspectives.

They've definitely got to be bitter as all hell.

 

[BraXzy]

Wait wait wait. It has a bow in it, what if... Now bear with me... Nahh I got nothin'

I'm glad next gen stuff can finally start to spread it's wings, even though they don't want to show too much, and everyone seems to be supporting cross gen

 

[SuperSonic1305]

Laura Bow 3

 

[The Faceless Master]

Game Informer?

Watch it be Rainbow Six Patriots...AGAIN, lol.

This would be the best possible news. I am dying to hear more about that game.

It'll be a hybrid stealth game no matter what view it goes with. That's why I'm not very hyped for it.

[ShockingAlberto]

I hope the joke is that the bow contained is, like, a bow. That you wear on your head.

Alice 3!

 

[Jibbajabbawockky]

I'm really curious to see what Dragon Age 3 looks like given that twitter has made it apparent that a large number of Mass Effect senior staff (along with BioWare's giant bulk of staff that move between the series) is actually working on Dragon Age 3 now as well from combat designers to writers like Patrick Weekes. Then they've also been hiring a ton of people for Edmonton and Montreal as well. I think this might be one of those projects with "400+ contributors" DICE was referring to.

Yeah, it seems like a ton of people are working on this and its being given a ton of attention and resources across all of BioWare and even EA.


That said, with the hint of a bow and arrow on the cover, that seems more central to Thief than Dragon Age. Considering that the only bow and arrow character in DA2 was locked behind the Day 1 DLC paywall.

Red Dead Redemption 2

You play as a native american, armed with a bow or something. I don't know.
