Source: Geometry Wars 2 announced tomorrow, dropping this week?

by Christopher Grant { Jul 13th 2008 at 7:00PM }

A reliable source close to Joystiq informed us that Geometry Wars 2 will be announced at Microsoft's press conference tomorrow morning. That wouldn't be much of a surprise -- after all, the achievements were leaked on Xbox.com two weeks ago.

Our source informs us that the game has already passed certification, clearing the major barrier of entry for all Xbox Live Arcade titles. Is Microsoft going to "bring Geometry Wars 2 home" tomorrow? We already know they're launching Coffeetime Crosswords and Shred Nebula next week, but a follow-up to Xbox 360's Number 1 launch title would be polygonal icing on the keynote cake.

My pants would be ringing wet. And not with urine.

I suck at Geometry Wars, but I'd welcome a sequel anyways. ^_^

LordChimp @ Jul 13th 2008 7:06PM

I like the first one but I am terrible at it. I will most likely still buy the sequel.

I've spent way too much money on Geometry Wars. I bought the DS version, 360 version, and PC version. I'm hoping Geo Wars 2 brings in elements from the ds/wii versions.

CB @ Jul 13th 2008 7:09PM

You know, I booted up Geo Wars yesterday and it reminded me of all the fun times I had when the 360 launched.

Meh, the first one was fun, but I was never too crazy over it. I'd much prefer microsoft announcing and releasing Castle Crashers this week.

tcc3 @ Jul 13th 2008 11:30PM

Is that even a real game?
I hear its going to release with DNF...

I could go one all day

therpham @ Jul 13th 2008 7:24PM

Oh please oh please oh please oh please!

I promise I'll actually buy this one instead of playing the demo forever if it's announced tomorrow!

... Maybe.

A.Jeffery @ Jul 13th 2008 7:25PM

I used to love this, great fun however it then got outdone imo by Super Stardust HD

Tez (PSN: Tezasaurus) @ Jul 13th 2008 7:49PM

agreed.

deaftly @ Jul 14th 2008 11:47AM

word.

Rodrigo @ Jul 13th 2008 7:38PM

Super Stardust HD is better than this game but it's fun too.

007craft @ Jul 13th 2008 7:38PM

please no. I guess theres like 0 chance now for me seeing duke 3d for e3 :(

Kiltman67 @ Jul 13th 2008 7:51PM

I think this'll go live during the conference. I know Sony are supposed to be doing the same with another game and this year Major Nelson etc. are really pushing all the ways you can listen to the conference. Would make sense to do this if a game is going to follow.

thatguy @ Jul 13th 2008 8:01PM

I hope the music is as addictive as the gameplay!

Obie @ Jul 13th 2008 8:17PM

Dayum! Tempting, if it has co-op I might just splurge!

Vii @ Jul 13th 2008 8:40PM

Now if only the guys that made Geometry Wars could be persuaded that it would be more lucrative to release a copy of GW2 to PSN that would make my day.

Jonah Falcon @ Jul 13th 2008 9:22PM

How so? Every multiplatform game sells almost twice as much on the 360 than PS3.

Vii @ Jul 13th 2008 9:27PM

Well like I said....if they could be convinced that it would be more profitable then maybe they would take the time to port it. It was purely a hypothetical statement. I loved GW from the 360, but I don't have a 360 I have a PS3. I would love to see this title crossover. Either that or could someone get Jonathan Mak on the phone and ask him when Everyday Shooter 2 is coming out?

Also the only reason that most multiplatform games outsell games on the PS3 is because more people have a 360 than a PS3. Which is saying something about the console sales war more than the race to produce multiplatform vs. exclusive titles. Then again MS is probably throwing so much money at the guys that made GW that they have no reason to go multiplatform anyway. *sigh* At least I have Echochrome....

sp @ Jul 13th 2008 8:34PM

I'm close to finishing getting gold medals on all the DS levels, I don't know if my fingers can take more so soon....

Covarr @ Jul 13th 2008 8:34PM

Part of me hoPes it comes to PSN as well, but chances are Pretty slim.

Please excuse the caPital "P"s, as my P key is broken and I coPied and Pasted them all from the same highlighted bit of text.

Shaq-Fu @ Jul 13th 2008 8:37PM

Mmmmmmmm... geometry never tasted so good

Joe @ Jul 14th 2008 12:49AM

Wow, Microsoft and Harmonix are officially conspiring to get me to buy another points card, between this and The Who on Tuesday.

Stop with the amazing content for a few weeks! Or at least until I get my first paycheck and I can make sure it's enough to cover that ticket to see NIN...
