A countdown to an announcement would be kinda lame.

Imagine if it was a countdown to the beginning of a countdown to an announcement.

I just esplode your head with logic.

Didnt Joystiq do one of those one time a while back? It was a post saying "wait for the post at midnight!" And that post was just some announcement?

I hope its not another genre thats so old I have no interest in it.

Now would be just about right for Doublefine to pull out an RTS...

I have my fingers crossed for something new and fresh, Tim Shafer rocks.

psychonauts was a great game. I liked it better than anything in that genre since Mario 64, which was the last great platform game for that plumber guy. I'd like to see a hit for Mr. Schafer considering he is creative and original. That would mean he isn't sequel happy or making party games, or mascot sport games. Damn you wii people I will say it... enough with the bastardized mario in anything games.

B-but, aren't you looking forward to Zelda: The Crossbow Chronicles? And Tim Schafer does indeed rock.

Can't say I liked PSYCHONAUTS... not sure why, I just never got into it and couldn't even force myself to sit down and play it more than 30 minutes at most any time it was fired up.

But I liked Tim's earlier titles. :] Grim Fandango. The "tentacle" series. Monkey Island series.

Hopefully it's an announcement that Primal Rage is coming to XBLA.

Is this a sequel to Brutal: Paws of Fury?

I hope not...

I saw this countdown last night and discussed with several people why anyone should care about this count down. It doesn't have anyone's name on it, just on xbox's site. Brutally Fun, how descriptive. There's no double fine up there, nothing. I'm glad you shed some light on this matter.

Now I know there's a reason to care about this count down. They should take a cue from this count down http://www.esp-web.co.jp/products/information/0907/index.html straight up, it says who the countdown is for, and what it's on. Though it's no mystery that this game is on the 360.

I can't wait for the age when nondescript countdowns take over the internet.

Got to love these kind of "worldwide" releases.

It's a little over 11:00 pm here (GMT +2) now. When the countdown hit zero nothing interesting happened. The clock just disappeared.

(If you want you can always play with your system clock to see this exciting sequence yourself.)

Some day, probably long after I'm dead and buried, there will be an article that mentions Tim S, Double Fine or maybe even Psychonauts without including some version of the phrase "the game that critics love but no one bought."

That will be a good day.

You clearly didn't buy enough copies when the critics told you they loved it... this is your punishment.

A new Tim Schafer game? HA!

Clearly MS wants to stun the world with a follow up Kakuto Chojin: Back Alley Brutal.

Doesn't Double Fine kind of have a contract with VU Games? I have high doubts that this involves DF, rather a Ninja Gaiden announcement seems likely.
