Two big names in controversy are teasing E3 reveals this morning. Jason West and Vince Zampella of Respawn Entertainment (formerly of Infinity Ward) have something "big time" in the works and ex-Tecmo developer Tomonobu Itagaki is ready to reveal what his new studio, Valhalla, is working on.
The news comes by way of Facebook and Valhalla's blog page. The Facebook page is fairly obscure -- "Vince Zampella and Jason West big time announcement at E3 next week. stay tuned, kiddies!" -- but Itagaki gets more personal.
"...[T]his announcement will be the fifth all-new project in my lifetime," the English-language post reads. "I don't know if that number is large or small, but I know as a fact that every one of these announcements was a presentation of a new gaming paradigm from me to all of you. This time, it is no different."
Rumor also has it that Nintendo's stocking a surprise for its E3 presentation. We've heard about the 3DS and some sites report that the next major Zelda game is confirmed -- so what else could it possibly be? A new Star Fox?
UPDATE: An unnamed EA official apparently told MTV Multiplayer the Respawn announcement is in no way official. Take that as you will -- we're not sure what to make of it.
