Man, how did companies market games and make announcements before Twitter? EA PR rep Erik Reynolds dropped a minor bomb on his Twitter feed early this month, hinting at a big Maxis reveal at this year’s Game Developer Conference in San Francisco. He followed the tweet by pointing fans to the Game Changers Facebook page, where more information will supposedly follow over time.

Naturally, the internet is already freaking out over what Maxis could be up to. Most people seem to agree that the company will announce a brand new SimCity title, and since that’s one of the company’s strongest franchises, there’s really no reason to doubt. However, Maxis has so many other great games in its past, it would be cool to see a revival of something else. SimLife, SimAnt, SimTower, SimCopter—all are long overdue for an HD remake or brand new edition.

We’ll just have to wait until GDC to find out. The conference runs March 5 through 9 – you can still register if you live in the area and want to stop by.

What do you think Maxis is up to? What would you like them to release?
