Everytime Geoff trolls us with something like this, he comes to GAF finds the inevitable "Geoff says M3gat0n coming!!111" thread and does this all day while laughing at our expense..

Would be better if he actually gave some cryptic hints or something, it's not much fun with nothing to go on.
 
Guys, what if the tweet was a CLUE? WHAT IF?! No one will see the game coming.

Maybe it's an Invisible Man game. Maybe the game itself is invisible. Maybe it's Papa Sangre on Xbox 360. Maybe it's a blindfold peripheral. THE POSSIBILITIES.

MGS would be great, yes. But realistically, I think it'll be Splinter Cell 6, if that is indeed a hint.
 
You catch creatures and use them to fight for you. It pretty much is the console Pokemon game people keep asking Nintendo to make.

Oh wow, well, I guess I'll have to crack open my copy then. xD You made me look for it.
 
I remember the last time a top secret game I didn't see coming was teased: I sat deeply reclined into my winged chair kissing a cup of let's say rather vintage green tea, as I am wont to do, when a Geoff Keighley Twitter update abruptly culled my attention from a blithe disregard for the outside world. The cup hit the floor shattering into a myriad of pieces. This was it, what I had been waiting for: I suddenly knew nothing about a game I mere seconds before hadn't known even existed. I unwittingly called my mother, remembered she had died several years ago, slipped on the spilled tea and, staring at the plaster flaking off the ceiling, recited my favorite song sotto voce: "I'm so excited and I just can't hide it. I'm about to lose control, but I think I like it."

The same exact thing happened just now.

"Today we filmed a huge top secret game reveal for our E3 coverage. Can't wait to share it with you - no one will see this one coming."

Turn efil around -> life
the other letters Half + three

Half-Life 3 confirmed

Oh man, there's even a "3" in it! This is DEFINITELY what it is!
 
I don't see how you aren't supporting it. He delivered a new IP from a studio that's generally considered to be one of the best in gaming. You aren't going to get much better than that as far as new IP's go. But you agreed that sequels would've justified the hype. I'm not sure how they would considering that everyone knows that there's going to be another Half Life, HALO, GTA etc. It's only a matter of when those companies choose to announce them. No one knew that ND was working on a new IP. You even had some people fearing that they were going to be "stuck" only working on Uncharted sequels.

Yes, but new IP is only a question of who and when also really.

A standard sequel to an established AAA IP wouldn't justify it no but with a twist it probably would have.

To me a good example is metal gear rising. Pretend that game was not announced prior and it had its first reveal at the VGAs: now THAT would have justified all of his hype into something people probably wouldn't have believed and wouldn't have saw coming.

It's an established IP with a new twist being developed by collaboration from 2 different dev studios who have never worked together before producing something different than what that series is known for. That would have done it and people would have been floored. But again we just got a zombie game from naughty dog, and despite my moaning it will assuredly still be a great game, but it was a crap reveal.

No one lives forever 3. You heard here first.
 
wait, with everyone guessing HL3, it's probably actually EPISODE 3. double negative troll.

my additional off the wall guesses:
project offset returns out of nowhere
insane
city of metronome
day of defeat GO
ubisoft laser tag II
fifth phantom saga
jaffe heartland comeback
the wall(?)
 
Zzzz... I get that Geoff has to drum up enthusiasm but I can't be arsed to get excited. This year has been SO BORING for game news. The only thing interesting has been this Bungie/Activision story and I don't even really care about Bungie and I certainly don't care about an MMO from them. Still, it's legitimately interesting and news.

The Gaming Forum has been a snoozefest this year.

Well, E3 will be fun for you then.

Unless you hate Nintendo.

3 times? You really must be bored.
 
Since Geoff tweeted yesterday within 2 miles of Microsoft HQ, I'm going to wager it's an Xbox 360 game.
