MS: "Exciting unannounced project" for Comic-Con

From "one of our top franchises" - Blinx 3?
Microsoft is set to make an "exciting" project reveal at this month's Comic-Con, as well as showcasing much of its E3 line-up.

The platform holder is promising a "new, exciting unannounced project from one of our top franchises," which certainly sounds exciting on paper (but will probably turn out to be Blinx for Xbox Live Arcade).

Note that "project" doesn't necessarily equal "new game", so this could well be downloadable content or the like for an already-released game.

MS will also be bringing Halo 3: ODST, Alan Wake, The Beatles: Rock Band, Left 4 Dead 2 and Xbox Live Arcade's South Park and Shadow Complex to the San Diego, US event.

A media reception is planned for the evening of Thursday, July 23, says Kotaku, so our money's on that being the venue to keep your eyes and ears open at.

Come on Rare. Your time to shine is now!

They're not going to choose ComicCon of all places to announce a new Halo or Gears game - so Blinx sounds about right.
Posted by altitude2k
My immediate thought was a new Viva Pinata, until I remembered it's on the DS as well.

Well if MS want to get a foot in the casual market with Natal, they'll need a more friendly mascot than Master Chief! Personally I hope it's a new game from Rare starring Conker, if it is a resurrection of a mascot. Not too sure if he's suitable for children though...

Blinx! Blimey, I had forgotten about that game. I remember buying that one for the missus but she found it far too confusing.

I wonder what this new game is? Other than the Halo's and Gears games, I can't imagine.

Please God, no...not Blinx.

I dont mind a bit of Voodoo Vince...but not Blinx...

From one of their top franchises?

YES! OH MY GOD!

FINALLY!

Flight Simulator 11 or bust, Microsoft! ;)

Oh I've got it...

Fable 3, surely?

Ha ha, a new Fusion Frenzy! That would be really really really really great.

Can't wait, I will be at Comic Con with the magazine that I work for, looks like there'll be a few game reveals, hopefully some more of Avitar
Posted by monty_79
A new Perfect Dark would be nice, but like, a good one.

Got a feeling it will be new Fable DLC.

....please,
Its ANOTHER Halo game.
Its the only thing they ever get excited over..
Its Cash Cow time!

otherwise xbox owners can hope for Rare to do something new..
Killer Instinct 3? doubtful against SFIV
Conker? hmmm possible.
A new Banjo? Too early?

Well what ever it is i am sure it wont be free!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Anyone who uses more than one, maybe at a stretch two, exclamation marks is certifiably insane.
Posted by StonecoldMC
I know, damn MS! Why cant they give away Games for Free like everyone else?
Posted by altitude2k
It's almost as if they're trying to make a business out of selling games, or something. Selfish *******s!

Surely it has to be something from Rare.
Like someone mentioned, if they want to really shift the Project Natal idea, they need a mascot.
Master Chief is more for the serious gamers, so something like Banjo, Viva Pinata, Perfect Dark etc, would be a pretty good bet.
Where did the idea of Blinx come from though? Since when was that a top franchaise? lol
Posted by Black Mantis
I think it originated from Kotaku. They had a picture of the forgotten feline linked to the story. I hope they don't know something we don't in this case!

Marvel Universe Online!! :)

Mass Effect DLC? Didn't BioWare promise to release some before the sequel hits?

I'm sure I read a story about that just the other week...
