Super Mario Bros X Donkey Kong Country. Obviously.

However, the last threads had 1492, 920, 385, and 1403 posts respectively, so apparently people like these threads.

I hate these threads. They are a waste of time and free advertisement for the magazine. Most of the games they show are already known about too.

Isn't EVERYTHING a big surprise from them? I know that's just how you spin marketing, but maybe they should just call it "exciting" rather than "surprising".

Or the existence of which is predictable enough. A new Tom Clancy game? With Ubisoft outright BUYING THE RIGHT TO USE HIS NAME AS THEY SEE FIT there's always going to be more Tom Clancy stuff from him. Then the few that are out of the blue are usually completely new stuf anyway, like Dishonored. I think the biggest serious surprised within the last year or two was a proper Strategy Xcom being revealed.

 

[Strike]

Not buying into this.

The last one they called surprising was South Park.

I just made a list for Kev:

ULTRA SURPRISING GAME = South Park
"The real nuts is the developer"/"Freak Out Old School Gamers" = XCOM: Enemy Unknown
You already know it! = The Last of Us
There was none it leaked = AC3
SUPER GRAPHICS = Halo 4

They make hilarious work time reading though.

It's harmless fun.

Xbox Rumble Heroes for Kinect

 

[iceatcs]

Yes Yes Yes. Again.
I love announcement of announcement. It is the best thing on gaming since QTE features.


But I'm scare of Gameinformer's expectations. They are so weak. South park RPG was same level as HL3 to them.

This. I like these threads!

 

[CSX]

Obviously its that Conception psp game

 

[Father_Brain]

The "surprise" wording would seem to indicate that this is either a completely unannounced game or one we haven't heard about in some time, for what it's worth.

 

[ViewtifulJC]

STRIDER 3 LETS GO BABY

 

[Nirolak]

I'm assuming it's a totally expected sequel that is slightly different than the last iteration.

Black Op 2 confirmed

 

[AceBandage]

It's not Go Go Fuckface Ninjas?
Damn it.

 

[The Bookerman]

a wii U launch title?

 

[Eusis]

Call of Duty: Black Ops 2, same as prior games except this time it's an anime visual novel.

 

[RPGamer92]

I bet this is BO2.

 

[DimmuBurgerKing]

Cho Aniki remake starring Danny DeVito and John Goodman

Day. One.

 

[Dresden]

Dark Souls Wii-U

 

[Coins]

I would buy Go Go Fuckface Ninjas even if it were a blank disc.

 

[Hot Coldman]

Yaris 2

 

[IceDoesntHelp]

Super Smash Brothers 4, obviously.

 

["God's Beard!"]

Yaris 2

Quit playing games with my heart.

[Wilsongt]

"This one will be a bit of a surprise."?

No it won't.

 

[antonz]

Black Op 2 confirmed

This time you play as JFK and try to prevent your own assassination!

 

[thebeeks]

If it's not Warcraft Adventures then I don't care.

 

[Nirolak]

Andy responded to my tweet.

Thanks.

 

[TheOddOne]

Black Op 2 confirmed

Well that settles it then!

 

[Persona7]

Bully 2.

 

[Father_Brain]

Well, I didn't say it would have to be a megaton...

 

[Conor 419]

If nobody will guess it, it could be a bit interesting.

That Class3 XBLA game maybe?

 

[EatChildren]

"The real nuts is the developer"/"Freak Out Old School Gamers" = XCOM: Enemy Unknown

This one was fair, I think. A lot of folk were pretty soured on the XCOM reboot, and this came out of nowhere. It also looked and sounded quite promising, with an experienced developer at the helm. Nothing, to my knowledge, had leaked, so it was a legitimate surprise.

A South Park RPG from Obsidian is something I'd also consider pretty surprising, just not the kind of 'surprise' people expected.

 

[MikeE21286]

Pokemon Black 2 White 2?

Why not....

I feel they've basically delivered on their statements if you don't stretch them to hyperbole.

Well, I don't think Halo 4 looks that good, but apparently some people really do.

 

[Radogol]

Gogol 13 remake by CD Projekt RED

Unlike Golgo 13, a Gogol game from CD-Projekt actually sounds plausible.

 

[EatChildren]

This is probably the Half-Life 3 x Zelda crossover I've been hearing about then.

 

[Totobeni]

Folklore 2 maybe..hopefully..

 

[EdibleExplosives]

Here we go again.

I was just thinking that but I doubt the game would get the front cover of GI.

 

[Derrick01]

Well a xbla game being the cover story would indeed be really surprising!

But no I don't expect it to be something like that either.

 

[Guerrillas in the Mist]

The only one of these that's been a total surprise was the Obsidian-developed South Park RPG. That was pretty fucking impressive.

 

[Nirolak]

EatChildren has suggested Army of Four.

That does strike me as obvious enough for a cover, while also being not obvious enough for them to make this statement.

You knew something about The Last of Us before its announcement?

 

[Radogol]

You knew something about The Last of Us before its announcement?

That was GameTrailers, not Game Informer.

 

[ShockingAlberto]

Onimusha 5/Reboot

Maybe Lost Planet 3

 

[Derrick01]

You knew something about The Last of Us before its announcement?

I'm pretty sure we knew enough about it from leaks but we just didn't know the developer. I think the leading guess was the god of war studio.

edit: And yeah it was gametrailers who revealed it first.

 

[Corto]

That was GameTrailers, not Game Informer.

I already can't keep track of all these announcements. They're too many!

 

[RPGCrazied]

Sony All-Stars Battle Royale.

That was easy.
