Anticipated Games!

[Reaper]

Ive been sitting here thinking about what games ive liked over 2009 and how they've kept me going through this slow dreary year. And ive came to the conclusion that i didn't really want to think about the games of the past, i want to think about the "Future of Gaming" and what it holds for us. I have a few drastic ideas of how the future is going to turn out however i wanted to keep it realistic (No sci fi rooms), like graphic engines, new consoles... How would this impact us as a gaming community? Well enough rambling on i want to know how you feel about our future and what games you are looking forward too in 2010.

Thanks for your time.

For anybody who is struggling to find the upcoming games ive found a reliable source to find those games. http://www.vgreleases.com

Bioshock 2
Splinter Cell: Conviction
Dead Rising 2
Fez

Those are all the one's I'm looking forward to before May '10 (E3), I don't put much trust in release dates beyond then.

I was about to say ACII... but it's out (and it's bloody fantastic!) Splinter Cell: Conviction and ME2 are the games that may persuade me to buy an Xbox360.

And of course... SW:TOR

I think the "future of gaming" right now seems to be leaning towards putting together a compelling story. Superb voice acting, interactive cinematics, huge plot twists...the technology has advanced to the point to where the gamer can really be drawn in, and now I think games are trying to take advantage of that by telling a good story. Even future MMOs, like SWTOR, are focusing on voice acting and story.

That's also one of the things that brings us back for the sequels. Of course, good gameplay is still a must, and any game that can accomplish both seem to be the ones that are super-blockbusters.

You right. And SC:C is really trying to push that. If you can find a demo video you'll see that they are trying to not do cinematics, per se. As the cinematics will blend into the wall (think of it as a projector on the wall), basically a clip playing in Sam's head, and represented on a wall for the player.

Is anybody looking forward to Natural Selection 2, i over heard this to be quite a good game. Also yes SC:C is going to be good like Chaos Theory and Pandora Tomorrow they hae my expectations of a great story, involving cutscenes ( like the bit where you get to choose to shoot that guy but we all do. ), and brilliant graphical effects. I think though to hold the poll of most anticipated i have been hearing Swtor to be leveling of what World of Warcraft was in its beta so... early days. Don't get me wrong though there are many games that are coming out that i personally would like to try out, i mean today i had Assasins Creed 2 come through my door today, and i was stunned on how they could improve on the first game. So when looking at a game we as gamers really should take a second look before becoming the judger.

My anticipated list:

Battlefield 2: Bad Company 2 (PC)
God of War III (PS3)
Mass Effect 2 (360)
Bioshock 2 (360)

Yea Final Fantasy caught my Eye aswell, i just wish they would make a remake of 7 (please dont flame me for being a typical 7 fan ) for the ps3. But yes XIII does look good . I havent really played Bioshock to be perfectly honest so i can't really say much about it, however that i have heard alot about it and that it is a good game.

[Subb]

Dante's Inferno looks cool aswell. I love the Divine Comedy.

[Reaper]

Yea did you hear about that Mass: Wii Pray or something like that to pre-order Dante's Inferno lol!

[Setun]

1 game next year will literally spank all of you into awareness of what a badass FPS is....and that is AvP:  the only game where multiplayer is truly as hectic as the single player, as you can play as either the marine, aliens, or predator:







Hell fucking yes

[Reaper]

My friend keeps on going on about that game, im not really a big fan of alien or predator so i wouldn't really know. This game however looks good

[Reaper]

Anymore anticipated games im getting some really interesting ones, not seeing many nintendo

[Setun]

Metroid: Other M for the Wii looks pretty hot...makes Samus more like Kratos with a blaster...honestly I've grown tired of Nintendo cause they only hash out the same shit but call it something new....smash bros. is the only thing I really enjoy the most on my Wii...
