Great thread. It is hard to track all these rumors.

Quantic Dream Demo
Unreal 4 Demo

GET HYPE!

 

[Boerseun]

I am expecting something from High Voltage Software. Here is the location of their booth:

High Voltage Software
GDC Booth #1214, Career Pavilion
West Hall, 1st Floor

Let's hope they show something good and manage to avoid another PR fiasco like they had with the Grinder re-reveal from two years ago ("Here, we took a game everybody wanted and turned it into something nobody wants, have a go, whydontcha?").

 

[HylianTom]

I've heard that Nintendo will be unveiling the new name for the Wii U

Spoiler

The Nintendo Juicy™

(yup.. they're naming the console after those words you see on girls' short-shorts. Truly, something out of left field. Very Nintendo.

 

[KageMaru]

Looking forward to Quantic Dreams tech, UE4 demo, and Halo 4 more than anything else.

 

[exmachina64]

With everything going on, it looks like this is going to be another great year.

 

[AranhaHunter]

Wasn't there a rumored Gears Kinect title at some point?

Gears of War Exile?

 

[Jibbajabbawockky]

-BioWare was noting they have a giant review day going on for Dragon Age, which would make sense if it's unveiling next week.

Hmmm...yeah, and according to Darrah and Laidlaw on Twitter they had another review day earlier in February too.


But even if its almost one year post DA2, isn't it too early for them to show a possible DA3? Especially if any reveal at GDC would be right against ME3's launch? Whenever they announce or unveil DA3, they'll need to have their act together given the backlash against DA2. Maybe its one last DLC for DA2, but that doesn't seem likely considering its been about 6 months since the last DLC and with the exception of Arrival, BioWare has never released a DLC more than one year post launch of the main game.

This time they're building on top of a game that should resemble the sequel instead of trying to build half the game from scratch, so it should put them fairly far along even only halfway through their dev cycle.

 

[DarkChild]

I hope there will be glimpse of Crysis 3 at GDC, its been in development for two years already.

 

[SykoTech]

They really need to get around to showing Overstrike already. Like, seriously.

Looking forward to LBPKarting and Title Fight if it gets shown.

No surprise that there's nothing listed for Nintendo.

 

[beast786]

thanks.

It's been too quite . time to roll the hype train !!!

 

[The Giant]

Is there any nintendo speakers this year?

Kojima Productions will be sharing the latest details on its new Fox Engine game engine later today. Hideo Kojima teased the update at Twitter, saying it would be posted to the Kojima Productions recruitment page and is targeted towards technological types.

All this is in anticipation of Game Developers Conference, which will be held in San Francisco next week. Kojima Productions will be recruiting at the event.

MercurySteam: Castlevania LOS 2

Quote from CVdungeon quoting neogaf

A killer sequel, part of an espectacular reboot, blood related.. ding ding ding??

Then (neogaf quote)

Dutch Journalist Jan Meijroos is/was attending the event in and said that he couldn't say anything about what he said but that a big surprise comes out of spain, he added: 'A Spanish studio surprised friend and foe'.

Original Quote (google translatded)

Can not say anything yet about many 360 games I've played and seen today but the surprise comes from Spain ...? (not Christmas)

Cox tweeted abaout an important meeting this week.

Today we have a big meeting with..... ???? We are showing them our new project on..... ???? That is all!!

The journalist said (google translated)

lol ... no games in San Francisco with a Spanish studio surprised friend and foe

GDC is in.. you guessed it.. San Francisco

GDC 2012 San Francisco, California March 5-9

And Cox said:

Busy, busy couple of weeks. Lots of important meetings and of course, GDC. See you there?

 

[ii Stryker]

Is it still too early for EA to reveal specifically what Respawn is up to?

Microsoft Studios has been been advertising a certain position to be filled, through Twitter:

Sports Entertainment Group needs the innovative & fearless to help build the next generation of sports entertainment bit.ly/xDJK4G

It's for "Development Architect-IEB-Microsoft Studios-Sports Entertainment Group (786103) Job".

Microsoft, Interactive Entertainment has the booth CP 1208 in the Career Pavillion, along with Microsoft Corporation in booth BS500 in the Business Center. So people have every opportunity to step by and ask more about the implication of "next generation" in this. Poster muu suggested earlier in this thread Kinect Sports 3, so it could be that, but it could also concern Kinect for Windows. I'm hoping for some Durango related project.

Also, a countdown has appeared on http://www.gdconf.com/, counting down to 03/05/2012 04:59 GMT.

[Strike]

You'll get Splinter Cell 6 / Reboot from Jade Raymonds new big ass studio in Montreal.

Retribution. I still have yet to play Conviction.

 

[ToxicAdam]

This is a great idea for a thread. Thanks.

 

[TTP]

You can add Sony's Datura to the rumored list

 

[BlazingDarkness]

wait wait
New QD tech?

My body is ready.

a dedicated disc golf game (finally) for kinect next? must be.

 

[GrizzNKev]

Ctrl+F "Battlefield"

Nothing? I thought we got repeated "Soon" messages from DICE and EA. Wouldn't their event be the time to show off their next DLC/expansion, whatever it may be?

 

[dancmc]

Oh man....this time of year makes me all giddy inside...can't wait for whatever is announced and to keep riding the rumor/hype train until E3 (even if most of the times the rumors/hype are better than the actual announcements!!)

 

[newjeruse]

Hmmm, Ninja gaiden 3 perhaps?

Killer Instinct reboot.

 

[tkscz]

Killer Instinct reboot.

Thinking the same thing

 

[Gianni Merryman]

Killer Instinct reboot.

Yeah, that would be a truly killer sequel indeed and it would make sense, yet those bloodstains remind me more of something more goreish.

Speaking of which, isn't some new Mortal kombat game supposed to be revealed soonish?

 

[A.KU.MU]

No new Splinter Cell from Ubisoft?

I want Chaos Theory 2.

+1

 

[Soroc]

IS QD Sony only or did they just choose the PS3 this gen for their games?

 

[cuyahoga]

Can't companies treat GDC like, y'know, a Game Developers Conference and not a mini-E3? I thought the organizers were going against this.

 

[Trevelyan]

IS QD Sony only or did they just choose the PS3 this gen for their games?

I believe they signed a 3 game deal with Sony? I know Heavy Rain was one, and they currently have 2 more games in development.

Someone can please correct me if I'm wrong.

 

[SolidSnakex]

They're a third party dev, but last year Cage said that they plan on staying exclusive to Sony for the foreseeable future. He also said that he'd be tempted if they offered to buy them.

 

[Conor 419]

Mass Effect 4 is rumoured for GDC on twitter.

 

[Lingitiz]

Heavy Rain sold quite well didn't it? If their next project does the same I can see Sony buying them in the future.

That would a pretty quick turnaround. That's even faster than AA release -> AC announcement.

 

[boingball]

Rumored:
-Need For Speed Criterion 2

Please no. NFS from Criterion was great but I would prefer a new Burnout.
Gimme a new Burnout EA!

 

[Conor 419]

I was only joking, people have been joking that EA will have ME3 end on a 'tbc' screen.

 

[Floex]

Would absolutely love a new Castlevania: LOS. One of my 2010 highlights

 

[Cyberia]

Yep, it did.

“We basically sold to date approximately two million units, we know from the trophy system that probably more than three million people bought this game and played it.”

“On my small level it’s a million people playing my game without giving me one cent. And my calculation is, as Quantic Dream, I lost between €5 and €10 million worth of royalties because of second hand gaming.”

“On my small level it’s a million people playing my game without giving me one cent. And my calculation is, as Quantic Dream, I lost between €5 and €10 million worth of royalties because of second hand gaming.”

Yep, because all of those people who rented, borrowed, or got a used copy would have bought the game brand new otherwise. I liked the game, but I hate that stupid logic.

 

[enzo_gt]

Can someone link me to the original leak that contained Forza World?

Did it mention it was open-world, or are we just assuming that from the name? I remember there being close to nothing about it in the original leak.

http://www.eurogamer.net/articles/2011-05-13-kinect-ms-to-serve-hardcore-at-e3

Meanwhile, Eurogamer has heard an open world driving game called Forza World is in development at UK developer Playground Games, helmed by ex-Codemasters racing studio executive producer Gavin Raeburn.

Raeburn's LinkedIn profile reveals he's "working on an unannounced AAA title for a major publisher". During his time at Codemasters he helped reboot the Dirt and Grid series.

Signs are that Playground's game is releasing in 2012.

Thank you. Guess it is open-world.

I can see MS alternating Forza and Forza World games in the future on a yearly basis.

Spoiler

Still hope Forza World is just a codename for PGR though..

 

[Forsaken82]

I don't expect to hear anything about that game any time soon. It is likely going to be a launch title for the 720/PS4.
