Black Ops Game Projects

John Callaham writes "As we approach E3 next month, what game projects are currently in development but are still under official wraps? Computer Games Magazine takes a look at the sparse facts and does some speculation as well." From the article: "there is a period of near silence as developers work on games that are, for whatever reason, not ready to be officially announced yet. But that doesn't mean we can speculate based on the tiny snips of info that can be gathered from official sources, such as web site postings, press releases, interviews and job listings."

I can think of a one (obligatory)

Duke Nukem: Forever

Anything's possible...

I have a friend who did some character modelling for Prey recently... Yes, it's coming out soon, just as hinted at on Gamasutra [gamasutra.com]. It only took them what 10-15 years?

aww, fuck it

there ain't any news in here - it's simply speculation - so why is a headline on the main /. page?

It isn't on the front page unless you set your preferences to show all game articles on the front page.

I do think Slashdot could use some finer definitions of what's considered a "good" article... perhaps having 5 levels instead of just the 3 might help?

Duke Nukem Forever will be announced as a launch title for the Phantom.

The celebration party for this will feature not one but two clowns.

Also, Rare will move all their projects to Xbox 3. Yes, 3 is not a typo.

I am curious as to if Kameo will come out for Xbox1 or 2... Even though they showed it off (playable, and on Gamecube at the time) back in 2001 at E3? Now the next Perfect Dark for Xbox3...who knows?

But what if BOTH of those 3s are typos? How am I supposed to know?!?!?

Heh

I guess that's why there's hardly any posts!

Total Annihilation 2?

Richard Garriott is working for NCSoft, where he's designed the MMORPG Tabula Rasa. Peter

Died. Infograms/Atari has some Korean company working on it, and then it floundered and was cancelled.

Gas Powered Games is supposedly working on an RTS. I'm betting this will the "spiritual" successor, seeing as Chris Taylor is leading that project and was one of the designers behind TA.

Dark Heart of Uukrul 2

[faloi]

Man... I've been waiting years for it! Woot!

What's the point?

[Peteroo]

I don't see any new reporting here ... and anyone can speculate. This seems like "we don't know anything much" 13 times over. Why not make a few calls to studio contacts on each of these games and elicit a few new details?
