Mysterious Games Lurk In The Future
FiringSquad has up a piece running down a bunch of games that we know are on the horizon, but have precious few details about. Without even names to describe them, the article talks about projects like Bioware's MMOG, the next original title from id, Tim Schaefer's new game for Vivendi, and whatever the premier title for John Romero's new studio. The article taken as a whole is short on details, but brings to light several titles that are sure to provoke public interest when they are finally announced. From the article: "Psychonauts was a rarity in games; a title that had a quirky and fun game design that was actually funny and original. The high sales, however, did not occur as expected. The acclaim that DoubleFine got for their first title helped to secure their publishing deal with Vivendi and that hopefully will give their next title more of a marketing boost than Majesco created for their first game. So what will it be like? Quirky, fun and original ... just like all of Tim Schafer's titles."
Unless the list says a new game involving Ties and Fighting, you can count me out.
What's that? Free Radical does shooters? Darn.

Psychonauts was such a great game I don't even recall the loading times. What I do remember was everytime I went into a new level I wanted to know what the hell these guys were on and where do I get some! The grin on my face from the milk man level laster for at least a week.
How does one about getting a job in games journalism again?
By turning that into 10 paragraphs that keep people reading, basically.
