Yeah I don't know who crapgamer really is, just saw his video pop up and he seemed really excited about whatever this game was. So I don't even know if jez is confirming exactly what this guy is saying.

What about it?
He's the writer for "The Last Night" which looks incredible, but that is announced not unannounced. So what is he hinting at, they might have another game or they have heard from other developers.

Did everyone just gloss over this post. Where you all to busy arguing about digital vs physical.

Indies taking over the Banjo Kazooie license? I would be ok with that. That could explain why there are no leaks and Spencer insisting on "breadth" of titles.

I think they need to show some SP and MP for Crackdown.

whether or not they pull off the Online distruction will be a major topic of discussion. And the lack of a SP would cast doubt on the quality of that part of the experience.

Maybe someone can check the crapgamer video and see if he mentioned it being a Microsoft published game. I'm at work :(

Definitely wondering if that's an exclusive or just a third party game and they get to announce it first. Jez in his article did say a game from EA was expected. Maybe this?
 
Crap Gamer is probably talking about Project Dylan, which I think an insider or two on GAF have already acknowledged as being under the Microsoft marketing banner.

The last night is not ringing a bell to me. Those gifs look cool though.

I've been thinking about this for a few weeks - it fits together too well. EA and Microsoft are really close with EA Access, and Sony has the marketing rights for Destiny so EA would want to give this game some room to shine. The thing that gives me pause is that Project Dylan was apparently delayed.

Delaying a game doesn't mean it can't be announced at E3 though. They could still have a vertical slice available to demo or something less substantial but still exciting like a teaser or trailer.

I think Ea would announce that at their conference on their own terms. It will then make an appearance at MS's conference.

They delayed the game for the SP mode, so it will be there.

I think Crackdown single player will be shown at the conference, mp being playable on the show floor. Perhaps open beta for mp as well.

Oh I know that, I just wonder what kind of state it's in - do they even have a good vertical slice ready to show?

Also, EA Play starts a day before this year, so I'm guessing they just wouldn't have it playable there.

Jez Corden spoke of a unannounced EA game in his article on Windows Central as well. Could definitely be that game. Hope it's something else though, the more unannounced stuff the better.

It was only delayed until after the fiscal year. Which ends in March. Seeing as Battlefront is this year and last year was Battlefield, EA would need a fall 2018 game so that would fit. I don't think any of the Star Wars games would be ready

Surely EA will release a new Battlefield game late 2018.

What if that unannounced game was a new Dragon Age? Makes sense for Shinobi to be excited about it and Inquisition was on the xbox conference in 2014.

But is BioWare big enough that they can make a brand new IP and a new Dragon Age?

They were big enough to make the original ME trilogy and Dragon Age games at the same time.

If this new IP takes off then I think you see strong focus from across Bioware on it for a few years. So after this new Dragon Age game, maybe we don't see another for 4-5 years, just like Mass Effect.
 
We already know there is an unannounced new Bioware IP that is slate to release somewhere between April 2018 to Mar 2019.

And that a new Dragon Age will only come after that.

There is no realistic need for there to be an early announcement of DA since they'll want to focus marketing on one game at a time.

Probably. The new IP was in development alongside Inquisition in Edmonton and they have Montreal as a support studio. The new IP might be the priority, but a new Dragon Age is all but confirmed.


Hmmmm I see. Well I'm always ready for some new Dragon Age as long as they drastically improve the combat for the warrior. Man the combat got boring after a while. But that was only one issue that the game suffered from. Still, I'm excited.

If they do announce that Project Dylan game, I hope they show some gameplay.

Star Wars please!


That looks cool, never heard of it. Thanks.

I played as a Reaver in Inquisition and thought it was pretty fun. Had to really manage my health to maximize damage done without dying.

I don't know man, the attacks didn't feel satisfying and there wasn't enough variety in the combat moves itself. And I think I could just hold the attack button and I didn't need to do anything else. Wasn't fun for me.

Have you tried upping the difficulty and using tactical mode more?

I don't want to get too off topic here, but I will say that I think EA will have a non-Battlefront Star Wars game ready for Fall 2018. Whether it's Amy Henning's game or Visceral's game, who knows, but I think they'll alternate Battlefront and non-Battlefront yearly. Battlefront will always get the same year as the new mainline Star Wars film.

That's nice I guess, but Ms ever not announced not even a new game at E3? Even during the kinect focus I recall there being some new games shown.

Am I the only one that thinks that the cloud tech from Crackdown's multiple-player mode would make an excellent Hulk: Ultimate Destruction game?

You aren't the only one.

If it works, it would make for a great improvement for a number of games, I think

It would make pretty much any action game. Imagine Otogi with swords cutting down buildings or, as you suggest, Hulk punching the holy hell out of buildings.

You aren't now. I hadn't thought about it but that'd be great if it's good in crackdown that is.
