EA Montreal to announce new game on March 12

by Ludwig Kietzmann { Mar 4th 2009 at 3:54PM }

EA has notified press that it intends to demonstrate a new game from its Montreal studio (along with other forthcoming projects) next Monday, March 9. The Canadian studio, currently hard (we hope) at work on one third of EA's new Need For Speed trio, namely the Wii-bound Need For Speed: Nitro, is expected to formally announce the project on March 12.

Extending this post would only lead to rampant and inevitably spurious speculation, so we'll just let you take a guess at what this mystery title could be.

Well seeing as how some Journalists are receiving Army Of Two shirts in the mail, its pretty obvious what it is.

kcha @ Mar 4th 2009 4:02PM

what happened to army of 2: coop boogaloo?

BigD145 @ Mar 4th 2009 4:02PM

Is that a "terrorist fist jab?"

Dirty @ Mar 4th 2009 4:03PM

Army of Two 2: Ballet of Destruction.

PSN: HinchyFC @ Mar 4th 2009 4:10PM

Did anyone besides me notice Dead Space Boogie on that list? That game would kick all kinds of asses.

Dirty @ Mar 4th 2009 4:21PM

Yo have to waggle your limbs off.

Maverick Saturn @ Mar 4th 2009 4:14PM

Silly Ludwig, don't you know the next is to be called either army of three or four not army of two 2 :)

DBuck_Eye @ Mar 4th 2009 6:39PM

They could go the Dangeresque route: Army of Two: Army of Three?

greg (peevmyster) @ Mar 4th 2009 4:16PM

I wouldn't mind another army of two, but we deffinately need another SSX game, those were some freakin fun games.

Farmer @ Mar 4th 2009 4:39PM

Agreed, I'd waste hours on them.
They were craaazzzy fun.
SSX Tricky was the best IMO

greg (peevmyster) @ Mar 4th 2009 4:42PM

Oh yea, i loved Tricky, actually more than ssx3, those were the only 2 i played though. I liked when you got your boost up and it played "it's tricky", still one of my favorite RUN-DMC songs.

JerJer @ Mar 4th 2009 5:28PM

i looooved tricky to death. ssx3 was pretty fun too.

but i absolutely adored on tour.

it got critically panned (comparatively) but it was all the over the top fun of tricky sloshed right onto the continuity of ssx3's mountain (obviously a new mountain though). pure speed, tricks, and snowball throwing :)

Army of Two 2

baconaholic @ Mar 4th 2009 4:26PM

There hasn't been a new SSX in a long time, so that's my guess.

Chris Taylor @ Mar 4th 2009 4:41PM

I'd Army of Two 2 only because it would suddenly be the greatest Ballet game of all time... (Army of Tu Tu...)

Hyams @ Mar 4th 2009 4:52PM

That's punny. =)

The Dark Wayne @ Mar 4th 2009 5:36PM

PUUUNNNNS!!!!

j.howlett @ Mar 4th 2009 4:35PM

ea just price dropped a bunch of games. i was thinking of getting a couple copies of army of 2

Megadanxzero @ Mar 4th 2009 4:42PM

Yeah, I wouldn't mind a 360 SSX actually... Don't disappoint me EA!

Also, demonstrating it on the 9th and announcing it on the 12th? Sounds like a stupid idea... SOMEONE will tell us what it is on the 9th...

Phil @ Mar 6th 2009 2:35AM

Sweet christ, I hope it is too. On Tour sucked and nothing has captured the awesomeness since SSX3.

Seriously EA, just go BACK to that game, make new mountains, board, tracks and whatnot, AND I WILL BE HAPPY.

Don't include skis, DOESN'T EVEN NEED ONLINE (though take the Shaun White concept of free play on the slopes if you do... You know, running races when you want, attempting to nail tricks, etc...), JUST CHANGE IT BACK ALREADY.

Don't kill this series like you have Burnout by removing all the fun-ness and trying to make it hardcore.

Joe @ Mar 4th 2009 5:11PM

I like it when publishers/studios announce the announcement of a new game.

In A World (XBL) @ Mar 4th 2009 5:29PM

Established Franchise Kart Racing FTW!

ComicShaman @ Mar 4th 2009 5:34PM

SSX would be my choice, so long as they undo the mistakes they made in the vast and terrible betrayal that was On Tour. The first three games were each a delight, and I would be happy this day to pop them in my system and play for a few hours any time.

Odd that the franchise has been allowed to lay fallow for so long, but if it lets them come back with another good game, it'll be worth it.
