What games are you most anticipating? (Any system, any year)

[Haoshiro]

The title says it all...

I'm curious as to what people are hyped about for each of the systems:

- PC
- Mac
- 360
- PS3
- Rev/GCN

For me it would be:
- Zelda: Twighlight Princes [Rev/GCN]
- BioShock [360] (This is the "spritual successor" to System Shock!)
- Too Human [360]
- 'Square-Enix Shooter' [360] (Hoping this will be a new Einhander!)
- Dark Sector [360/PS3]
- Battle Angel Alita [360/PS3]
- Project Offset [360/PC]
- Shenmue Complete [360] (rumoured)
- Halo 3 [360]

I guess it's easy to tell why I picked up a 360.

You'll also notice all the PS3 games that interest me are also coming to 360. I look at the titles announced for PS3 and I mostly see a bunch of sequels (many on #4 or 5) and I'm honestly bored of that. There are some sequels I have listed, I am a huge Zelda fan and my and friends have a huge amount of fun getting together for 8-player Halo.

Revolution I just haven't seen yet... the idea of NEW genres and gameplay excite me, just haven't seen or heard enough to add them to my list.

[GFLPraxis]

Zelda: Twilight Princess
Zelda: Phantom Hourglass
Metroid Prime 3
Online Super Smash Bros
MegaMan ZX
New Sonic games from Sega
Any new Kingdom Hearts games that may be announced at E3

[eva01]

MP 3, the next set of Mario sports games, Battlefront 3, the next Republic Commando, Zelda Twilight Princess and Phantom Hour Glass. SSB as well

And if Shenmue Complete does in fact only come out for 360 i will cry and get a 360 just for that single game. God did i love the DC games

[iamhammill]

Madden '07! and RTCW2.

[Calvinatir]

SPORE! by Maxis

[Oblivious]

Metroid Prime 3- The first two Prime games have gotten me addicted, this is without a doubt my most anticipated game.:eek:
Twilight Princess- It's a Zelda game, how can you not be drooling over it??:p
Red Steel- I've never really been that into FPS, but after reading a bit about it, the concepts behind the game like respect seem to have caught my attention.
Super Mario Rev. (Mario 128?)- A sequel to Super Mario 64 is long overdue.;)
Super Smash Bros. Revolution- With online play I think it will be a must have.:)
Animal Crossing Revolution- The first two game are on the right track, but there is still a lot missing, in my honest opinion. Hopefully the Rev version will add a bit more complexity to the series.:)
MVP Baseball 2006 (2007?)- It'll be interesting to see what they can do with the Revs controller...
And yes, if you can't already tell I am eagerly awaiting the Rev. Gotta love those first party games.:) :cool:

[turbopants]

Zelda: Twighlight Princes and Metroid Prime 3. I really want to try out the new Revolution controller!

[Viewtiful Rich]

1. Kingdom Hearts III
2. Twilight Princess
3. Final Fantasy VII Remake (it's happening just a matter of when)
4. Pokemon Diamond
5. Okami
6. Final Fantasy IIID
7. Final Fantasy Crystal Chronicles (II) Revolution
8. Red Steel
9. Baten Kaitos II
10. Contact or Suda 51's Revolution game


... I'm looking forward to a lot. Oh and if the rumor about NiGHTS on Revolution is true definitely looking out for that.

By the way, guess who ended up getting an E3 Pass? :)

Turns out that DigiPen did in fact get 25 free passes. About 75 people signed up for them and there was a drawing and I got chosen!

So can't wait to go to E3 to check out the above games (the ones that are shown), try out Revolution and PS3, and check out Matt Casamassina's new MacBook Pro. :)

[GFLPraxis]

I can't believe I forgot:

Duke Nukem Forever!

[Dalriada]

Can't believe no one is mentioning Heroes of Might and Magic V (http://www.mightandmagic.com/HeroesV/uk/intro.php) all the more so that it went GOLD today and so hopefully the Mac port which the good old folks up at Freeverse (http://news.freeverse.com/archives/001110.php) are working on should follow suit very soon. Gonna pick up a lot of awards this year this game ;)

[raggedjimmi]

Not buying a PS3 or 360 for lackluster reasons. Looking to buy a Rev, possible a DS Lite but only when my DS dies. Which running off how well I take care of hardware - never. Oh, but I'm building a new super PC later this year to run Vista games. Once again I won't be needing a powerful console.

Metroid Prime 3. Metroid Prime being, IMO, the best game series yet.
Red Steel. Swords and guns with a gyro controller :D :D
Twilight Princess.
Smash Bros Rev. With online play, my girlfriend will never be safe.
Phantom Hourglass.
Animal Crossing Rev. Been playing the DS one again. This game was built for a gyro controller.

But, more than anything, ever.

Mario 128. I have a feeling we're going to get something about this game at E3. After a stint in development as long as Duke Forever, with gameplay that's been kept secret. I think it might be pretty damn good :)

[BoyBach]

Brain Age + New Super Mario Bros (and a new DS Lite!)
Zelda: Twilight Princess for the Gamecube
Halo 3 - can it tempt me to buy a 360?!
A new Mario game for the Revolution

[Haoshiro]

jimmi: Nearly all of your most anticipated games are on Revolution... why get spend the case to build a 'super pc' then? You didn't list one "most anticipated" PC game! :D

I'm surprised at how much of what everyone is looking forward to is A) the same. and B) sequels.

Hopefully these sequels turn out great... but when they have gotten as high as #4 and 5 I figure the isn't a whole lot of hope of getting something fresh/new. Fans already know what they want, so studios are pressured to not change things...

That said I'm sure I'll like plenty of them, it's just they are low on my Hype meter since I've played the previous ones.

Zelda, on the other hand, that always seems to different enough to remain fresh! :D

[Haoshiro]

I had totally forgot handheld games at all.... the DS Zelda and Mario games coming look sweet. Especially the new Mario! I'd rather play new retro-style sequels then play the original classics that I beat 10 times already...

[takao]

Team Fortress 2 ;)

seriously at the moment i'm more interested with what games the rev will launch

for the 360 it would perhaps be "too human" and for the ps3 the next gran turismo
and Spore for the PC

games which perhaps are in development

advance wars with online play: as an old turn based game fan i can't wait for such a game on the DS or revolution

the next Civilization

games which perhaps never will be made:
for the DS:
Panzer General remake: lets face it the game would be perfect for the DS since it's a completely mouse operated game and only involves clicking

well it's hard to anticipate a game nobody knows about... the last big new game i really anticipated was killer 7 and before that the original perfect dark which was a sequel in spirit to goldeneye ;)

it's pretty clear that at the moment it's quite hard to _get_ players to buy new games wihtout relying on a franchise

remember how critics liked katamari and how hyped it was ? guess what happend ? sales sucked (charging 50 bucks in europe didn't help) ... same with killer 7 who outside of europe did rather lousy .. or psychonauts or fahrenheit.. or the other one which i already forget

many people are tired of sequels but on the other side the urge to buy a new concept is rather low...

personally i found my love for flight games and turned based again recently and sadly there are only a few good games out there... i think there are more ww2 shooters out there then games in those genres combined

oh and add next generation mario party with online play to my list if we're talking about sequels ...minigames & board game combined just never get old ;)

it's paradox ....

[gauchogolfer]

On the Revolution:
Metroid Prime 3
Super Smash Bros.
Twilight Princess
Mario 128

On the DS:
Metroid Hunters
Mario
Something cool that I haven't even thought of yet (à la Nintendogs)

[dogbone]

I'm waiting for my 60 gigabyte delivery of global scenery (http://www.global-scenery.org/) for X-Plane. Then I might fly to Ayres Rock via the Victorian Alps. Or perhaps hop into a helicopter and check out the Grose Valley.

[Symtex]

there is 3 games I am currently looking for :

PC
Hellgate : London

X360
Phantasy Star Universe.

[Jovian9]

Metroid Prime 3 (GC/Rev)
Zelda Twilight Princess (GC/Rev)
SW KOTOR 3 (Xbox/360)
Civ 4 (Mac)
WoW The Burning Crusade Expansion (Mac/PC)
The first PGA Tiger Woods game to utilize the Revolution controllers :)

[gauchogolfer]

...
The first PGA Tiger Woods game to utilize the Revolution controllers :)

Oooh, yeah, I'm going to add that one to my list too. How about Mario Tennis as well? If we could get two wireless controllers, Mike Tyson's Punch Out could rock!
Sports games could be sweet with the new controller.

I'd also like Nintendo to come out with a Star Wars game, because face it, that controller is screaming 'lightsaber'.

Edit: I'll add in a wish for Kid Icarus, and a Soul Calibur-style fighter (with Zelda of course) as well, to work on my Nintendo swordplay.

[Haoshiro]

The first PGA Tiger Woods game to utilize the Revolution controllers :)

Tecmo is releasing a golf game at launch for Revolution. Whether or not that ends up being DOA Extreme Exploitation Golf, however, is not yet clear. ;)

[gekko513]

Mac OS X: Civilization IV and Starcraft 2 ... oh, how could I forget ... I'm also eagerly anticipating my own sequel to Solitaire XL

[cubist]

Well, I was hopeful about Rise of Nations:Rise of Legends, but people who have played the demo tell me it's disappointing. Not much happening in the RTS world these days.

[Haoshiro]

I would have included Starcraft 2 if it has actually been announced... or even an semi-official rumor (like Shenmue)... but Blizzard just seems so busy piling up their WoW cash...

[raggedjimmi]

Zelda, on the other hand, that always seems to different enough to remain fresh! :D

I just want to run current games that I can't enjoy in their lower settings. Quake 4 and Doom 3 etc. I'm keeping myself for Ressurection of Evil in a virgin state so I can fully enjoy with everything maxed out on my 2005FPW, hell. new PC=2405FPW :D It's all still a long time off though. Also keeping the upcoming HL2 episodes fresh too, HDR and all that.

Of course there will more games I'll look forward too. I say sequels mostly because I trust them, I trust Nintendo will make Mario 128 to be this gob smacking game and Retro Studios to push out what could be the pinnacle of my recent gaming life; the end of the Metroid Prime series.

[floyde]

I'm looking forward to the PS3 versions of Metal Gear Solid, Final Fantasy and Silent Hill. Revolution's Zelda will most certainly kick arse, and I'm also waiting for Civilization IV for Mac.

[~Shard~]

I would have included Starcraft 2 if it has actually been announced... or even an semi-official rumor (like Shenmue)... but Blizzard just seems so busy piling up their WoW cash...

Don't worry - I'm sure Blizzard will deliver it in another 10 years or so.. :rolleyes:

[steelfist]

realistically, for now it's command and conquer 3, tiberium war or something like that. graphics are good, and I love the tiberium storyline. hope Cabal is back.

unrealistically, it's starcraft 2, and i hope it has nothing to do with WOW. i'm going to hate it if they have "terran legacy" in 3d.

[Abulia]

I can't believe I forgot:

Duke Nukem Forever!Thread. Winnar! :D

For my part I don't pay much attention to the hype machine so I honestly don't know what's coming out that I need to be excited about. That's why I love the demos on the 360 Marketplace. :)

Gears of War will get my attention when released.
Also the World of Warcraft expansion, Burning Crusade.

[Abulia]

Or perhaps hop into a helicopter and check out the Grose Valley.Could you start a thread on X-Plane on the Mac and its capabilities? I've been sooooo temped to get this but have been honestly daunted by its scope. It would seem to me that it's either a) really good or b) too broad and does everything bad.

Ah yes, I'm looking forward to this one too, though I thought it would be called Tiberium Dusk since the first one is considered Tiberium Dawn and the "second" is called Tiberium Sun.

I want to see Kane again. I like him as a villian. So calm and untouchable. Incendentally, he looks just like my boss at work. :P

[cartoonfox]

peace

[shadowmoses]

[raggedjimmi]

I can't believe I forgot:

Duke Nukem Forever!

comes to mind. (http://www.deviantart.com/view/21283052/)

[Abulia]

Hey, if Prey could finally come out after all these years, what's stopping Duke Nukem Forever from beating the odds?




Okay, stop laughing! :D

[~Shard~]

I'll add another one that will never be made - a true sequel to one of the greatest games ever made - Wasteland.

[lu0s3r322]

Tom Clancy's Ghost Recon Advanced Warfighter for PC
Command and Conquer 3

and that Rockstar Games ping-pong game, just to see what its like

[dogbone]

I'm only on an emac 1.42 and it runs pretty well, I'll see how it goes when I get the global scenery. Check out x-plane.org

[Cougarcat]

1. Civ IV (mac)
2. Cyan's next game (probably Uru Live 2.0, to be announced at Mysterium in July...or so I hope)
3. Blizzard's next non-warcraft game (betting on Diablo III)
4. Spore
5. Supreme Commander
6. Heroes of Might and Magic V

[Haoshiro]

I used to have such huge must-have lists... now the list seems so small. What happened? Is it me? Or is it lack of innovative/interesting games?

One day I might even go back and get a PS2 to see if I missed anything notable...

[count chocula]

dead rising for the 360, not that i have one:o :(

[AP_piano295]

its all about spore

[Foxglove9]

My lists are always tiny right before E3. Give it a month and my list will at least double. Maybe the same will happen with you?

[Ja Di ksw]

StarCraft Ghost

That's just mean (http://www.joystiq.com/2006/03/25/blizzard-postpones-ghost-to-evaluate-next-gen-consoles/) of you to bring up

[Haoshiro]

Starcraft Ghost was on my list years ago... not anymore. :\

I agree, I don't think Blizzard is very productive. I've heard they actually have an arcade in the main office, and more time is spent there then programming... makes sense I guess.

I'd just prefer the actually announce a game in the same year it will be released. How long it takes isn't of much importance to me...

[ibookowner2]

Tom Clancy's Ghost Recon Advanced Warfighter for PC
Command and Conquer 3

and that Rockstar Games ping-pong game, just to see what its like

I also am awaiting the ping-pong game.

[mrgreen4242]

Zelda: Phantom Hourglass is about the only specific game I am lookin forward to right now.

I'm probably going to get a Revolution, and in general looking forward to the first Rev Mario Party game, Mario Kart [Revolution], and Twighlight Princess if the Rev controll support turns out to be "cool".

Oh, actually, I can add the Mario Bros DS game to the list of specific games I am looking forward to. New Mario platformer (how long since we could say that!?) AND the mini-games from Mario64 DS, two of my favorite things!

Er, and I suppose that I can "look forward to" Brain Train and Mario&Luigi: Partners in Time, even though they are already out since I don't have them, yet. :) In fact, I think I am going to go trade in a couple DS games and get one of those two today! :)

3. Blizzard's next non-warcraft game (betting on Diablo III)
4. Spore

Diablo 3 would be cool, as long as it ran on my mini! :)

I'm reserving judgement on Spore until it's actually released. There's been so much talk about it for so long, and how it's the be all and end all of games, and it does everything, etc etc, that I have a feeling it's going to suck.

[AP_piano295]

That's just mean (http://www.joystiq.com/2006/03/25/blizzard-postpones-ghost-to-evaluate-next-gen-consoles/) of you to bring up

but this is why blizzard is yet to realease a bad game.

[Bubbasteve]

Revolution
DS Lite

Then in regards to games...
New Super Mario Bros.
Super Mario Bros. 128
Twilight Princess
Gears of War
Halo 3
Golf Game to take advatage of Rev. Controller
Super Smash Bros. Rev.
Madden 2007 for 360 (let's just pray it improves last year's installment for the 360)


Basically I'm eagerly anticipating E3 to see what Nintendo has in store via their Rev. and it's launch titles.
