So, do we all agree the "special" announcement is Evolve?

I'm guessing WB is cracking down on their porting contractors and will probably put Feral's Shadow of Mordor through extra quality assurance testing to avoid another Arkhan Knight fiasco.

In case you haven't noticed, the voice of Victor Vran is the same voice as The Witcher. You're welcome. :)

They're promising some really awesome free DLC, like a randomly generated map and local Co-op. This great game will only get even better with time.

Night came, and I got killed by a flying eyeball. My 8-year-old daughter laughed at me.

Quoting: BeamboomWaaaait a second: Could this be related to the recent finding in Birmingham? 'Oldest' Koran fragments found in Birmingham University?

Ergo this has more to do with Birmingham, or libraries, than the Koran or islam?

The original image from Feral was a scan of "A Thousand and One Nights," which predates the advent of Islam, so it's not directly related to the Qur'an or Islam. If it is related to anything Arabic or Persian though, any game about the Middle East (including Assassin's Creed) or Central/South Asia is a possibility. Many say the original story came from India or Persia rather than Arabia. But that's probably too easy of a guess. I'm sticking with the Witcher 3 because I want it more. :)
This is not true. The image posted by Feral is from the Islamic era, well after the advent of Islam. Also, the "A Thousand and One Nights" book is a collection of folklore tales that predates Islam, but collecting them into one book with this specific name happened in the Islamic era. However, none of this has anything to do with the Koran. I am guessing the game in question is Prince of Persia.
I didn't say the manuscript predated the "Islamic era." I meant the stories from it did (many of them, anyway).

Quoting: ricki42
Quoting: melkemindOK, so it's not a simple guess. Let's do a complicated one: A Thousand and One Nights --> Aladdin --> genie --> magic lamp --> Magic Lamp quest --> Witcher 3! *drops the mic and walks away*
I like this (I want to play Witcher 3!). I don't know the Magic Lamp quest, but since you mention the genie/djinn, that reminds me of 'The Last Wish', the first Witcher book and short story of the same name, where Geralt meets Yennefer. So either Witcher 3 because Yennefer, or Witcher 1, because 1st book.
For your viewing pleasure: Magic Lamp Quest [External Link]
