Geoff Keighley’s patented world exclusives are starting to take shape now, with the likes of No Man’s Sky, The Order: 1886, and Bloodborne all lined up for this week’s The Game Awards. However, the Canadian journalist still has some surprises up his sleeve – including one very special announcement from EA Games.
Veteran executive Peter Moore teased the news on Twitter. “I’m looking forward to joining Geoff Keighley on stage Friday night in Las Vegas at The Game Awards to make a special announcement from EA Games,” he wrote. Adding further fuel to the fire, Keighley continued that he’s “pretty sure that no one will guess this one”. That rules Mirror’s Edge 2 out, then.
To be honest, we’re well and truly stumped by what this could be, but we hope that Moore maintains tradition, and unveils whatever it is courtesy of a tattoo. And if you don’t know what we’re referring to, you might want to watch this amazing YouTube video. This guy makes Jack Tretton look small fry.

I'm hoping we get some news on Star Wars Battlefront and Mass Effect 4 or a Mass Effect HD Trilogy for PS4
Must be Shenmue.

Is it more vapourware? Is it Black 2?
@Punished_Boss_84 Amazing! These two things must be related, then.
I wonder... Titanfall PS4 is too obvious, right?
“pretty sure that no one will guess this one”... Wii U game? XD
Seriously though, I just want it to be ME Trilogy. That and the KH collections are what I want on 8th generation consoles to actually get a second one.
@get2sammyb
If that's one of the "presents" he's bringing to this or PSE, then it will be another MS funded game to come to PS.
@eaglebob345
There's that as well!
@Bad-MuthaAdebis
"Moore disclosed to GamingSteve.com that at a security checkpoint at Chicago O'Hare International Airport, a TSA security agent said "I don't need to see your passport. You're the a****** that gave away Shenmue to Xbox."
But he does not have any rights over Shenmue anymore.
@get2sammyb I was thinking that. Could be the game that make certain people " Rage out" as some people put it. Seeing as though EA don't have a big Christmas shooter, at a long shot, I'd say Titanfall goty edition for ps4.
@get2sammyb
Hold it, whats this?
"Greatness for Everyone — Panel with representatives from Titanfall developer Respawn Entertainment..."

A surprise from EA?
An original IP that isn't a FPS or a sports game.
Though I like @eaglebob345 Wii U suggestion better. Is "unprecedented partnership" in the unofficial Encyclopedia of Gaming yet? Stupid EA.
OK, so it just dawned on me that the Playstation Experience and the Game Awards are both in Vegas this weekend. I'm assuming that isn't a coincidence on Sony's part but is there any actual connection between the 2? Is the Game Awards only Sony games?
@rjejr
Part of the Advisory Board for the Game Awards are Reggie and Phil Spencer, so don't count on it being Sony only.
@rjejr Haha, yeah EA's "unprecedented partnership" wasn't too inspiring was it!? I think at the time EA were trying to get the Origin network onto Wii U and Nintendo wanted none of it, hence the speedy ending of the special relationship. Of course that's pure speculation on my part however.
FIFA16 I only care about PS Exclusives at these shows so erm i don't care.
@sinalefa - Reggie lives! I met a girl working at the Ntinedo Mall Event who was very excited that she got to meet Reggie twice. All she does for a career is travel around doing Ntinedo expos.
Guess I'll have to tune in then. Maybe I can stream it on Youtube on the Wii U?
I'd love Battlefront news, and would hate Titanfall PS4. Though it sure seems like it will be. Ugh.
I just hope it isn't something that gets preferential treatment on the Xbox...
EA announcement no one will have guessed?
"We're retiring."
"We're actually finishing a game before release."
"We offer money back for unsatisfied customers."
TROLLOLO
Titanfall PS4 , my guess
EA are going to publish a new series of Ty the Tasmanian Tiger games! Exclusive for WiiU and that old skool "EA games challenge everything" intro makes a return! xD
@rjejr
I guess you can stream it. After checking the Advisory Board (basically the head honchos of all three hardware companies, Steam, Rockstar, Activision, EA and Ubisoft), I feel this will be the PR Awards, so I will just catch the announcements later.
@sinalefa - It's 9PM on a Friday night, might as well make some popcorn and crack open a beer. Wii U got an updated Youtube app, now I have an excuse to use it

Bayonetta 2 is apparently up for GOTY. At the 7 minute mark the guy says he thinks it will even win.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PInoDV1MIlA
I thought the guy was watching inFamous 2nd Son, SO really must have been thought up w/ PS4 in mind.
I'm hoping it's Mass Effect Trilogy PS4, Dead Space Trilogy PS3/PS4, or a new Dead Space game.
I haven't played Dead Space 3 yet, but I assume the ending is open ended enough for another game.
Maybe the secret is they are going to release a game and NOT charge you for the on disk content…
I smell a Titanfall reveal.
Whatever it is, I'm sure it's not something I'll be hyped for. Unless it's a new fully MLB-licensed MVP baseball game.
skate 4 please i know probably not but it would be AWESOME
@Gamer83 @sinalefa - So I'm guessing the 3 free games was the special announcement, unless there was some new game announcement I missed?
Got my copy of Mirrors Edge, don't own the other 2 systems and forgot to DL them online. That's happens to me alot. They still have the special offers page online but the offers aren't special anymore, they probably should remove it:

@rjejr
Well, free games from EA is something no one would ever guess. So much for titanfall ps4
