Any ideas what it could be?

PS nice idea, PP

Hard to guess if it's new.

But we can speculate.

Ok then.

When was the last racing or fighting game T17 made? Or shoot-em up?

Racing: Stunt GP (2001)
Fighting: Ultimate Body Blows (1994)
Shoot-em up: X2 (1996) [Phoenix - Deep Space Ressurection (1999) is more a space-sim]

I really, really hope for Worms Battle Rally.

Would Worms Battle Rally be classified as new or old? Because the idea is old, right?

There was an idea that John Dennis told me about in a pub after a video games industry seminar him and Martyn presented at Teesside University a couple of years back. It was something totally new that their (then) publishers wouldn't let them do, but now they have different publishers i'm hoping he got the go-ahead because it sounded good. Some artwork i saw at Team17 HQ during the Worms 3D focus testing also suggested that this game idea was popular with the Team17 crew.

care to elaberate?

Something new could be anything, really. Well, anything that isn't old...

I could, for example, say "It will be a game about time-travelling French cheese, and be called Fromage to Eternity" and at this stage we have real evidence either way, common sense aside ;).

Man, i would love that :p

Onr thing I'd like to say is:

So long as it ain't got Starforce...

edit:
oh, just had a thought, Spadge did say somehting about T17 considering their own digital distribution. Mabye, just mabye? Unless he was refering to Trymedia.

A sixth worms game.

Someone had to say it.

EDIT: Bah, it would be more thand sixth. But you get what I mean.

I'd buy it.

Scratch that, I'd buy ten.

There have already been more than 6.

There have already been more than 6. Thus my edit after that sentence.

EDIT: Are you out to get me or something?

It seems to look that way :-/

Sorry, I didn't read the whole post. And no, I'm not out to get you.

Curse you M3ntal and your signing of the non-disclosure agreement...

No, he's out to get everyone...;)

I didn't sign anything, and he told me about it during a pub conversation, it's just he was rather secretive about the actual details so i wouldn't want to say anything out of respect, and obviously i gave my word i wouldn't talk about the things i saw at Team17 HQ. It was just an idea though, he said he'd drawn up a design doc and it got rejected by their publishers, so i have no idea if this "something new" is the same game.
