Viva Pinata.
I can't tell if you're being serious or not
I strawberry floating loved Viva Pinata TiP though. It is a great series that I hope continues.

Top right could be the much anticipated Black Tusk game. Maybe the MS Victoria game.

I'd love a new Viva Pinata.

Viva Pinata.
It didn't sell at all, did it?
It was their greatest game since the N64 days. It was just so addictive and there was nothing else on the 360 that even dared to be like it. I wonder how it was on PC, as I doubt many people gave it a look in on LIVE. They could have done more with the online modes, admittedly.
It would actually be a great 3DS/Vita game, if we were living in Dreamland. Portability would be a boon, the touch screen would sort out a few niggles with the controls, and the 3DS's second screen could clear out some of the longer treks through the menus. You did often have to pause play just to find a small detail out about a pinata.
Sod it, it would even be good on the Wii U's gamepad to be honest. It seems fairly well suited to that kind of off-screen play.

Was that any good though? Always thought it looked a bit reduced, and the isometric-style visuals seemed a massive step down. You wouldn't get that on today's handhelds. A Vita version would look gorgeous, and a 3DS version would have added functionality and the Wii U version would give it an extra game. Well, actually, it could benefit from Miiverse integration as well, I guess.

CoD: Ghosts? It seems to have quite a post-apocalyptic feel to it.

Viva Pinata? Kameo? Or maybe the new Fable game?
Looks nice anyway.

Doesn't look like a Pinata game. Fable or Kameo, for sure.

Yeah it definitely looks like it could be either of those. There was talk that Rare did get work started on Kameo but it got cancelled for whatever reason. Whatever it is it does look pretty nice though, I like the look of the art style. It's a shame we're getting our Xbox One games stuff from the conference by squinting and over analysing at screengrabs and whatnot. It's a shame Microsoft couldn't at least give us teasers for things like a Rare game and stuff to tide us over until E3.

I don't think it's Kameo, but it could be a Pinata game (or something using a similar idea) as the brief video showed a Wisp floating around, creating and placing objects. They could have greatly expanded the concepts of Viva Pinata to be building entire landscapes, instead of just the gardens. Or it could be something brand new. At least there isn't long until we find out!

Not getting my hopes up, I'm sure it will look lovely but it's going to be on-rails, kinect gooseberry fool.
I want to believe though.

That slide looks gorgeous
. I really hope it's a new platformer from Rare. I don't care if it's new or existing IP. One that doesn't force Kinect integration too, I don't mind if it has it as an option, but I don't want it forced.
What happened to 3D platformers
. No one seems to bother anymore. I love the Super Mario Galaxy games and Super Mario 3D Land to bits, but I want a greater variety of 3D platformers.

Only Nintendo and Sega make 3D platformers that are worth a damn.

Someone should tell Sega that then, so they can start doing it again.

The past couple of Sonic games have been pretty good.

Well your saying Resident Evil 6 is great doesn't help you either.
