Looks like it's this. I hope it's not canceled.

Magical Left 4 Dead, combined with Night at the Museum, and with Cavia plot twists??  ...I think I'm interested?  But the screens look...kinda dumb.  Hoping for actual gameplay vid soon.

I thought it was a Nintendo game besides The Last Story. Screw this, I'm out of here.

I think his claim that it might be "surprising" is what's doubtful.

This game looks freakin' horrible! Not that it should surprise me... but come on.... publish something I can at least pretend is worth waiting for only to be dissapointed with another square/enix let down..... I can't say anything about this looks appealing to me at all....

It's almost certainly a cancelled project.

The entire AQ Interactive group (despite looking good on paper given its high profile managers/development talent and strong financial backing) was notorious for poor quality output. There were a few exceptions, but most of their games were plain bad.

At least this announcement did some good:

Spencer’s note: It was never our intention to mislead with our news blip. If you felt we did, I sincerely apologize and instead of simply saying sorry I just made a donation to UNICEF to make amends. At the very least all of the outrage will bring some less fortunate people food and vaccines.

Is it me or does this game look kinda like Goldeneye 64.

A canned game made by the glorious bastards at Cavia? Fuck. The one thing I thought was too unlikely to even make my list of unlikely unannouncements.

That said, that was the best unannouncement by being the worst unannouncement. Bravo Silconera. Bravo.

Letdowns of epic proportions aside(I was hoping for Nanashi No Game), this looks kind of bad. RIP, Cavia. Glad you went out with a bang and not being forced to make crap like this to cater to western audiences.

Nanashi no Game was already confirmed that it wasn't going to come for some dumb reason. I think I read something about that 2 years ago in Siliconera or some other site.

Can't remember.

IIRC, NnG was shot down because of poor feedback from an American focus group.

Mind you, the feedback from Japanese players wasn't so hot either, so I have little doubt that the game would've been a controversial release.

There's a YouTuber who played through it, subs and everything.  It is freaky, but it's definitely funky.  I could see it being passed up.

It's too bad that this wasn't Silconera exclusive otherwise I would've believed that this was what they were talking about (plus this would've been slightly less lame and I would've been right on one of my predictions).

[Underrated]

For some reason I'm not even excited for this.

For some reason I'm not even excited for this.

Kind of idiotic to be excited for a game likely canceled: you think this sort of reveal would happen if it were in active production?
