It's almost that time of the year again: the run-up to the Video Game Awards and the inevitable announcements of new games as Call of Duty steals some Best Character award from a game that actually has characters. First of all a new Alan Wake title (i.e., not a direct sequel and likely the rumored downloadable Night Springs title [Jim Reilly has just confirmed it is an XLBA title]) will debut at this year's award show.
A new franchise from a new BioWare studio is also set to be announced. While meeting the BioWare doctors at Eurogamer Expo this year, they were on their way to Ireland to see the "new" office. BioWare already has a customer support office at Galway in Ireland (BioWare Ireland) so this new IP might be from yet another studio, or perhaps it is being developed by secret hidden ninjas at Galway after all.
Finally, Metal Gear Solid: Rising will get a full reveal; remember that game? Game Informer will have some teaser images for these games in its December issue and on its website next Monday. The VGAs themselves will air December 10 at 8 p.m. EST on Spike TV, Spike.com and MTV2.

YESSSSSSSSS.
Bioware making a new IP, eh? They should do a modern RPG, since They covered space, mediveal, and oriental themes. Or an Espionage RPG.
MGS Rising as well? Sweetness.
New Bioware title... Hmmmm. Curious but not jumping for joy just yet.
I'm actually expecting Sony to announce the Jak and Daxter HD collection then as well. All three Uncharted games were announced during the Video Game Awards. Now's time for Jak's spotlight.
Yeah I forgot they had a few decent announcements and trailers at last years VMAs, I still look forward to the festival of hatred that surrounds the VMAs themselves, but there might be a legit reason to be hype for it too.
Also, MOTHERFCHOPPING RISING!
guess i MIGHT watch the thing.
as for Bioware new game.
i think a Deus Ex Style with Mass Effect world would be awesome :P
plus it's 3rd Person :)
New Alan Wake is definitely intriguing, though, as I loved the first one.
@Jonny 4 Fingers: They key phrase in that story was "NEW franchise".
That said, i would love more Alan Wake.
I went into Alan Wake sceptical after all the countless delays, but it's now my favorite horror game.
