Bioshock Infinite
Torchlight 2
Diablo 3
Starcraft 2 Episode 1
XCOM
Syndicate
Crackdown 3
I forgot about Bioshock Infinite. Torchlight 2 I though was meant to be this year. Apparently no longer. Diablo 3 I forgot, as well. Or is it that I always think of Blizzard games as having a permanent "Release Date TBA"? Probably the latter. Please apply this to Starcraft: Part 2: Part 2: The Siphoning but also add a smidge of 'shrug' to the whole thing.
Serious question: Did Starcraft: Part 2: Part 1: The Wallet Tenderizing do much for Blizzard? i.e. did Korea melt due to excitement? Did the world care to a level that one would expect when the previous game lasted for over 10years and was still being played professionally across the world?
XCOM, I thought, had been written off by the hardc0rez as a travesty of a game that spurned it roots and was unnecessarily turned into an FPS, who then turned back to their game of Fallout: New Vegas.
Syndicate is not a remake of which I knew anything about. I fear that research will not turn up anything good. Yea or nay, AusGAF?
Sure, say that on a day when I've been too busy to post
Coincidence?
I think 2011 has been pretty lacklustre actually. Next year we have
GTAV
Max Payne 3
Prey 2
Diablo 3
Mass Effect 3
Syndicate
BioShock: Infinite
Spec Ops: The Line
The Kingdom of Amalur: Reckoning
Starcraft 2: Whatever the next bit's called
Tomb Raider reboot
I Am Alive
Assassin's Creed 3
the inevitable COD game
After a quick look
on Wikipedia, you could also add:
Hitman: Absolution
Halo 4
Counter-Strike: Global Offensive
Darksiders 2
Far Cry 3
Gotham City Impostors
Kid Icarus: Uprising
The Last Guardian
Metro: Last Light
Ninja Gaiden 3
STALKER 2
SSX
XCOM
Not a lot of new IP there, though.
How could I forget The Last Guardian? Gah! However, looking at your list there really isn't a lot for me. Darksiders 2 will probably be purchased, however the Pre-order date on the publisher's website is late December 2012, so chances of it dropping next year seem high.
Prey 2, I thought, was out. Or was meant to be out this year. Like earlier this year or something. I'm sure I heard a lot about it. No Tommy. Less Vaginadoors. Less hype. Obviously it didn't come out this year. Let 2012 have all the glory, is what the pubisher was thinking. 2011 has been a hog. Let 2012 have some games.
The Tomb Raider Reboot V12: The QTEvent of the Year Edition could be okay as long as you beleive prerelease PR spin. And as long as it isn't as QTE heavy as it's seeming like it could be. More than any of game, Ms Croft suffers from rebootitis, to the point where I will not beleive any previews or publisher spin about the games.
Mass Effect 3 is a game that I'll get to at some point and unless I mainline 3 games in the next 12 months it won't until 2013 at the earliest. It is, however, another big name game that didn't occur to me when I thought about games dropping next year.
The list, however, is not really brimming with games that excite me. I'm sure this will be different for a lot of other people but for me, well, if you were to say "pick 5 games that you'll buy next year" I would probably struggle to come up with that many. Last Guardian. Bioshock Infinite. Hmm.
your awesome on 7pm project rep
Fez add that to the list of cool games coming next year, my most anticipated in fact. Also Johnno Blow has a new game for next year I believe
Ha!
Fez? I've heard a lot about it but it's usually been "when iz Fex coming out. its been delayed thats bullshit its never coming out i want the game so bad game is awesome must have" level of writing. What is it that's got everyone's knickers in a bunch?
You expect someone who hardly uses capitals (except when using ALL CAPS ALL THE TIME) or punctuation, consistently and intentionally misspells words, and copy-pastes an article with no link to the source, to multi-quote? You jest good sir, very funny.
Yeah, but I'm certain that it would take more effort to reply separately to each post. At the very least I would expect that choc would use the multiquote fuction but reply to everyone at the bottom, not clearly denoting which rant relates to which quote.
That would be awesome.
Also, everyone is forgetting the 2012 GOTY on there lists: Crusader Kings II
*cue the 'WTF is Crusader Kings?' posts*
Here's hoping it's not a traditional Paradox game in the sense that it isn't a buggy mess on day 1.
WTF is Crusader Kings?
RAYMAN ORIGINS IS SO GOOD BUY BUY BUY
I think I will. No, I won't. Yeah, I probably will. NO! Probably.
No more game purchases this year my ass. I want to buy it but I may try and hold strong. I have too many games. Backlog mass so great it's forming it's own gravity and atmosphere.
Sorry if this whole post is weird/angry/pissy/whathaveyou. At work. Tired. So very tired. So very late. Potentially not sure of what I'm writing level of tried.
If I've abused/violated/insulted a game you're excited for I apologize...
..for your lack of taste and good judgement.
Zing!
