Forget the Media, what are your biggest upcoming title(s)

[Ocelot]

I have 2 this year and the selection might surprise you. Don't get me wrong either there are many games this year that are a must, yet 2 really stand out about the crowd. My 360 will be going into overtime this summer:

Bioshock
Halo 3

Runners up:
Metal Gear
Mass Effect


I have a nagging suspicion that MG4 will be delayed 'till 08 and I've been playing MGS3/Portable for constantly and need a break. Mass Effect while looking impressive, I hope to be nothing like Kotor. While Kotor was decent it was also repetitive, thus Jade Empire owned it.


What are your big games this year?

[Glockstar]

MASS EFFECT!!!

And right now I'd have to say DIRT: Colin McRae Off-Road is my #2. I am getting really giddy about this game!

[ThaMaskedGamer]

You guys are right on the money!

1. Forza2...

2. Mass Effect...

3. Bioshock...

[theWacoKid]

Paper Mario for the wii. Bioshock looks more and more iffy with each trailer and its fallen to rental status for me.

[Cuddly Knife]

DIRT does look like something great. I'm getting pumped for this one the more I see of it. It's still not one of my most wanted, yet.

Not in any order:

1. DMC4, assuming it comes out this year, which I don't see why it won't.
2. Halo 3, because I want to see how the fight finishes.
3. Silent Hill Origins, for the PSP.
4. Tekken 6, please be online.
5. Mass Effect - this game will be huge!
6. Lost Odyssee
7. Ninja Gaiden DS
8. Mutant Storm Empires
9. Paper Mario
10. SSBB

Not looking forward to any next gen console games since I don't have one, but there aren't any that make me just want to bite except MGS4. I'm just a sucka for MG.

[ilnadmy]

Games that I'll probably get this coming year...not many, unfortunately, as I'm not going to have the time for much gaming. I'm pretty much going to stick with WoW and probably Pro Evolution Soccer 6 on the PC. Might even get BioShock if it looks good enough (and so far it has).

Now if I could get anything, my top games list would look something like this:

BioShock
Crysis
Spore (can't believe no one mentioned this yet)
Assassin's Creed
Devil May Cry 4
Heavenly Sword

And three games for the PS2 that I have yet to play:

God of War 2
Final Fantasy XII
Rogue Galaxy

I might even break down and buy a PS2 just to play those three.

[Gadfly2317]

Spore (can't believe no one mentioned this yet)

Drunk, Trebor and Mochan mentioned it.

I want it very badly, too.

[NEO-360]

Halo 3
Assassin's Creed
Bioshock
DMC4(Xbox 360)
GTA IV
Kane & Lynch
Turok:Heart Of Darkness
The Darkness
Ninety-Nine Nights

To name a few.

[Ocelot]

Spore...Ok I'm lookin' into this one.

I forgot to mention that Drake Game on PS3 from Naughty Dog, damn impressive. Far Cry meets original Tomb Raider.

[ilnadmy]

Drunk, Trebor and Mochan mentioned it.

I want it very badly, too.
Heh, whoops.

[Mochan]

I also forgot to mention Project Offset! I wonder how that will turn out?

Also looking at this little known game called Left 4 Dead. Zombie coop multiplayer? Well Dead Rising is on the 360 but it's good to know we have something like this coming to the PC as well. I know I said I'm not into online but this could be one of those quick fun online coop vs. coop fests that would be a lot of fun.

Since its going to be available on the PC as well as the 360. I assume you'll be buying it on the PC Mochan? I'll be buying it on the 360 of course.:p

[Cuddly Knife]

It's on the PS3 also, money.

And I can't bvelieve I forgot Burnout Paradise City. That game is probably my most anticipated of the year.

My most anticipated game for the generation so far is MGS4, followed by Ninja Gaiden 2.

[Mochan]

It would be interesting to see how the online community for this would shape up. I'd imagine mouse and kb to be better for the survivors as they'll be using guns and crap, while zombies shambling along with melee attacks probably work better on a gamepad.

Would be funny to see the games filled with PC gamers as the survivors and 360 gamers clawing their innards out on Live Anywhere. This could be a trend and a real system wars topic, LOL.

Would be funny to see the games filled with PC gamers as the survivors and 360 gamers clawing their innards out on Live Anywhere. This could be one of those games that can balance the Online community between PC gamers and their mice and 360 gamers and their gamepads.

[Cuddly Knife]

True dat, Mochan. So what exactly is this game about?

[DrunkenThumbmaster]

It looks like RE Outbreak done right. If you comcast cable on demand they have a feature of it in the cutting edge videogame section. Looks good.

[ilnadmy]

You know what I'd love to see? An MMO where one faction is PC users and the other faction is Console gamers. Now that would be friggin' BRUTAL. :D

[PapaSmurf]

I also forgot to mention Project Offset! I wonder how that will turn out?

I've actually had my eye on Project Offset, but it's not a game I would normally get. I'll probably wait for one of you guys to get it before I delve into it when it comes out.

[Rogue Bounty Hunter]

I forgot to add MGS 4, Kane & Lynch and Ninja Gaiden Sigma to my list.

I would also add Lair, but I'm not sold on it yet. I need more info, and lately, Sony's first party doesn't seem to want to give out that kind of info (on Lair or MLB 07: The Show).

I expect "The Show" to be cancelled and released before baseball's opening day next year.

[Cuddly Knife]

This year, definite day one purchases:
Ninja Gaiden Sigma

Based on your comments in your own "Ninja Gaiden Sucks" thread, I'm curious, why are you picking this game up? From what I read, you liked Genji better than Ninja Gaiden.

[Tappy_Tibbons]

Burnout 5
Bioshock
Mass Effect
Halo 3
GTA IV
ALAN WAKE
Half Life 2 Ep 2/Portal
Left 4 Dead
new Mario Kart & Smash Bros
Guitar Hero 3

Kinda nice that many of these are, in fact, originals.

Looks as though I can get...all of these but 2 on the 360...hmm

What are your big games this year?

My biggies for the year (in order of tentative release date courtesy Gamestop)!

1) Forza Motorsport 2 (Gran Turiswho?) Xbox 360
2) Mass Effect (KOTOR and Jade Empire rocked, this will kick serious azz!) Xbox 360
3) Metroid Prime 3 Corruption (probably delayed till later in the year) Wii
4) Super Smash Bros. Brawl (most likely/definitely delayed till later in the year) Wii
5) Blue Dragon (C'mon!...Sakaguchi aka Godfather of Final Fantasy!) Xbox 360
6) Too Human Chapter One (Eternal Darkness, Legacy of Kain & Twin Snakes rawk!) Xbox 360
7) Bioshock (looks great! Can't wait to see what gets voted into special ed.) Xbox 360
8) Virtua Fighter 5 (great fighter, no need for PS3!) Xbox 360
9) Unreal Tournament 3 (yet another former PS3 exclusive!) Xbox 360
10) Castlevania-Dracula X Chronicles (the BIGGIE for me this year! Must have!) PSP
11) Assasins Creed (and ANOTHER former PS3 exclusive!) Xbox 360
12) Lost Odyssey (Another 360 exclusive, Sakaguchi classic!) Xbox 360
13) Halo 3 Legendary Edition (nuff said!) Xbox 360....DUH!
14) Super Mario Galaxy (fat chance of it showing this year!) Wii
15) Halo Wars (another that won't show this year! :( ) Xbox 360

And why Halo Wars? Why do I think it will be good? Because it's by Ensemble Studios, the makers of the Age of Empires titles, it is about Halo and I like RTS games. :thumbsup:

[slade]

Based on your comments in your own "Ninja Gaiden Sucks" thread, I'm curious, why are you picking this game up? From what I read, you liked Genji better than Ninja Gaiden.

Basically because there is a real lack of games in that particular genre this year.

[Mochan]

Tappy, are you starting to give in to the 360?

[DrunkenThumbmaster]

It's on Sony's platform that's why.

Don't let the guy fool you he isn't a capcom fan he isn't a action game or fighter fan. He is true blue Milkdrinker.
