This comment in Eli's new game post over on TA has me even more curious about what the RPG is.
He said there should be a "massive game release that people are going to be super blown away by along with the precedent its release could set for the release of ...other similar games".
If it's something that doesn't have a precedent, that would eliminate games like KOTOR2. Unless this "massive" game isn't the same as the RPG Shaun is referring to.

Oh man I'd love Divinity on iPad. I own it on Steam, Xbox, PS4 lol and ive onlu played like 3 hours total. Need to go back.
Edit: my Deus Ex GO review is live - http://www.godisageek.com/reviews/deus-ex-go-review/
I found it lacking compared to Lara Croft GO in a lot of ways but it is still well worth playing.

Quick, everyone start looking for big RPGs on Steam that look like they could work on mobile.

Fallout series, Elder Scrolls, Divinity, Witcher, etc,
That's the only scale that would make me go "No way, I'd never imagine I'd see those on mobile". A turn-based game like Banner Saga wouldn't be so shocking
Agreed.....if we are to believe the Hodapp hype.....
Holy shit, it's up already!? Buying it instantly. Gotta complete Lara Croft GO tonight or tomorrow then.

It isn't KOTOR 2. Might be Air 1 and later. Too soon for Air 2 and later imo.
Still think Divinity would be very difficult on mobile with it being heavily menu driven and complex in that regard. That said it certainly would be something unexpected.
Hopefully we'll know by 3 p.m. EST if Shaun meant he couldn't announce it until noon PST.
And there's always the off chance what Eli is talking about isn't the same thing. But he didn't allude to any other big unannounced games coming today. And Shaun seemed pretty hyped so I'm guessing it is probably the same.
What about something like a true port of Mass Effect (not the tie in we got earlier)? Suppose with the branching dialog and stuff it isn't massively different than KOTOR other than obviously being a newer game.

For the most part, Deus Ex GO is really good so far, but I do feel other aspects feel like a step back from LC GO. Mainly in how LC GO had multi-part levels, that were spread across several screens, and were on multiple heights. So far DX GO's level have been one plane and one screen
But besides that personal gripe, it's as polished and stylish as the others, the animations are great, and it's another win for SE Monteal

why would you say this?
why would you put this wonderful thought into my head and now i weep because i'll never have Mass Effect on my phone

Not really a game that would warrant hype like "the precedent its release could set for the release of ...other similar games"
Last ports I felt did that were the GTA games
Hey guys. Will be buying Dues Ex Go and the Skyfish game. I've enjoyed the Hitman and Lara Croft versions, though inevitably have finished neither, yet. Someone working on the fish game compared at least some of the gameplay to the 'old' iOS classic Gesundheit, so that should be sweet. I haven't seen the Mr Robot TV show but this game definitely has my interest; will be keeping my eye on that one.
As for the super secret game I'm also prepared to be disappointed. I've never been into playing big, console type games on touchscreen so if it's something like that it probably won't be for me. I'm still very interested to know what it is, though.

Yeah, even though I mentioned ME, I actually agree with what you're saying.

Yeah, Siralim, Micromon, etc. Pokemon wouldn't be much of a precedent setter

After looking at steam my guesses:
-Torchlight
-Hand of Fate
-Stardew Valley (kinda RPGish)
-Grim Dawn
-Divinity
It's probably gonna be none of those though and I'll end up disappointed.

You know what game it is? Spill the beans!
None of those would be a massive announcement, though. And Stardew Valley isn't a RPG (though I would love love love if that was the one).
Divinity might apply, but I don't think it would fit mobile very well.

Maybe it's just my poor English but the way Eli Hodapp worded the phrase likely point to a multiple titles franchise.
Like Mass Effect, Elder Scrolls, etc...
I'm more keen to think it's a western franchise because we already have multiple titles from well known JRPGs so it wouldn't be that shocking.

.... You don't think Pokemon on iOS would be a precedent setter? Any other games exclusive to Nintendo on iOS I don't know about?
The problem I see is that'd be way too big of a deal to be a surprise announcement.
Give me Morrowind... How many hours left till the reveal?
Anyway, I just completed the first world of Deus Ex GO. Are there no collectibles in this one? It doesn't seem like it, although I noticed some of the levels on the overworld are gold and others are black. Another thing is, that the swiping controls seems off and not as precise as past titles. Multiple times I have taken a step in a direction I were not meant to go. Maybe it's a feature it'll explain to me later on, because it seems like I am supposed to grab people or something.

To be fair, I'm partially biased because I don't like Pokemon so that would be a huge letdown for me.
But it's not something that I would be blown away seeing on a mobile device, not after we've gotten San Andreas, Bioshock, Transistor, etc.
I also don't think Nintendo would release Pokemon on iOS with zero fanfare while GO is still doing well

Oh definitely. I assume we're all going to be disappointed, although I trust Musgrave. He has good tastes in games.

Hey does anyone know what time the App Store usually updates?
I want to download Deus Ex before my plane leaves tomorrow!

What?! I must have missed it when I searched. That's great! Thanks!
It's already out in the App Store, and there's a few impressions of it further up this page.

It's not Pokemon. I'm with more_badass about that. I'm hype for yokai watch though. Love it on 3ds.
It is not a JRPG.

I just looked and saw that the original witcher supports touch controls on Windows. It might be that game.
Yea I'm not a huge fan of Pokemon either, but other then square Enix I think of Nintendo when I think of RPGs. Also, Nintendo exclusives on iOS would be the mother of all precedents but is unlikely to happen without a big lead in. And, I really have never enjoyed a big 3D triple A game on iOS, I feel like it doesn't really suit the platform.
Something from the shin migami series might be big. Persona 4 on iOS?

nope. Also SMT1 is on iOS in english for iPhone. 2 and If... are JP only but on iOS as well.
Are you sure the reveal is in 15 minutes?
