What games are you waiting for to finally come out? What games have you heard are being developed right now that you think will be awesome? (Maybe we shoud leave rumours like Duke Nukem Forever and Fallout 3 aside...)

I'm waiting for GTA: San Andreas to come for PC, haven't played the console version so far but really liked Vice City and Liberty City.
I'm also looking forward to Freedom Force vs. The Third Reich and to Call of Duty 2.

Oh, I almost forgot Starship Troopers :D the FPS by Empire Interactive.

Screenshots can be found here (http://www.gamershell.com/pc/starship_troopers/screenshots.html).

The newest Legend of Zelda looks really sweet, I can't wait to play that game, it'll hopefully be Nintendo's really big game, other one is geist, looking to see if it's a decent FPS at least it's a mature game, so we'll see how it goes from there.

Still waiting for Monkey Island 5, although that is probably an extremely long shot, considering the situation with Lucasarts.

You will be disappointed.

What do you mean? I've already played the game, got hooked on it for a year, just waiting to reinstall it :D .

if you use bit torrent for downloading large files: STOP THAT! its the slowest medium you can get for downloading large files.

It's the only way you can download it, besides it's finished anyway.

Freedom Force is already out AFAIK.

I'm anxious about Oblivion aswell. I think the fate of all future RPGs will be decided on this game...

What's faster then? BT is actually pretty good, depening on what you dl and how you setup your client.

Double post! Freedom Force vs The Third Reich is the follow-up. BT is ok if lots of ppl are seeding the file; it's not so good for obscure and unpopular files. also the leeches are very irritating.

Single post! Yes, I know it's the follow-up, and to my knowledge this follow-up has already been released.

I'm reeaaally looking forward to Quake 4, & Duke Nukem Forever (Due sometimes in 2076)

DeathDude
30-03-2005, 12:37 AM
Other couple of games looking forward too:

Swat 4, looks like it's really shaping up to be really awsome, if it's as good as close quarters, I'm sold.

Final Fantasy 12, this could make our break the series I feel, if it gets a strong response, it'll help the franchise, if not, it could be the end imo.

30-03-2005, 12:52 AM
I'd have to say GTA:SA. That's the only game worth looking forward to. Everything else is boring FPS.

Dreadlord
30-03-2005, 12:53 AM
A port? Naw...

I'm really looking forward to Empire Earth 2, I need a good RTS.

Also the Sacred expansion, can't remember it's name.

hope ff12 bombs, then i hope the series will end

DeathDude
30-03-2005, 01:11 AM
I believe unless it's close to or at least remotely up to par with 7, the series will continue, if not it may very well be the end,

Dreadlord

Agh, I smell fanboy hatism!

Despising it's series just because it's that certain series is a bit cruel...

I stopped being interested in this game a few months ago, but a sequel might mean good stuff, a great game sacred, unfortunately it had a lot of bugs...

NWN 2 (2007)
Dungeon Siege 2(this year)
Starcraft Ghost
Basicaly any follow up to an RPG that i love..
Diablo 3

The Fifth Horseman

S.T.A.L.K.E.R of course. Stolen, Bioshock and F.E.A.R also look promising. I'm waiting for some Half - Life 2 mods too.

30-03-2005, 12:32 PM
didnt they cancel starcraft ghost?

DeathDude
30-03-2005, 01:11 PM
Nope, the original development team stopped working on the project hence the delay, it soon moved to Swinging Ape Studios, for them to work on.

Galadrin
30-03-2005, 02:42 PM
It's been promised for a long time and I'll probably see it a month before or after Duke Nukem Forever, but American Mcgee's Oz is the game that I'd really like to see, apart from the great RPG Oblivion, which has also been talked about for years (though they're actually making Oblivion...)

So basically you are all looking forward to old games with better graphics? (X4, Y2, Z3...) Is there anything completely new that you think might be really good? Is there anything completely new coming up??? :blink:

Chuck the plant
31-03-2005, 01:01 PM
Question should be: Is there anything REALLY new at all? ;)

I think we pretty much reached the point where EVERY concept has been done and tried at least once... the only possible varieties now come from graphics, engines etc...

DeathDude
31-03-2005, 01:10 PM
Some genres have managed to have been created in the past few years, eg. Mario Party created a new genre essentially, we just need to keep hoping that there are innovative companies out there, that are willing to try something new, although I imagine with the rising costs of making games now a days especially on the console side, that this probably won't happen.

Chuck the plant
31-03-2005, 01:14 PM
I dunno, Mario Party was not really THAT new, there were similiar games before (like Micro Machines). The mini-games might have been a little different, but the general concept was the same.

The last REALLY innovative thing to me was "eyetoy", and even THAT had it's predecessors...

DeathDude
31-03-2005, 01:19 PM
I agree it really wasn't that new, but essentially it did create the board-game/mini game party genre, so that was new, to see that it continues to have successful sales, usually close to a million for each game is impressive,

Ugh Eyetoy, another odd idea from Sony, not that impressed with it, but yeah it didn have it's predecesors, guess we'll just have to wait and see what comes out, heck maybe nintendo's next gen system revolution, will be revolutionary with their games.

31-03-2005, 06:42 PM
No one's mentioned the excellent game Psychonauts!? That's been at the top of my list forever.

Oh, and Dreamfall.

DeathDude
31-03-2005, 06:50 PM
Oh yeah Psychonauts, I forgot about that game, it's going to rock. Interesting to see Tim Schafer's work again.

Chuck the plant
31-03-2005, 06:54 PM
I didn't even post on the actual topic, did I? :D

Just GTA: San Andreas for me...

Dreadlord
31-03-2005, 06:56 PM
Is it announced that it's coming out for the PC?
Or are you just waiting for it to appear in your local if it isn't already there?

Chuck the plant
31-03-2005, 06:57 PM
It's been confirmed for quite some months now, IIRC...

I COULD get it for PS2... just don't wanna ;)

Dreadlord
31-03-2005, 06:59 PM
It's funnier on the PS2 cause even after you've played it for months you still don't know the controls.

But I'm looking forward to Dynasty Warriors 5.

This time I hope it isn't as chaotic as 4.

DeathDude
31-03-2005, 07:02 PM
I played the ps2 version it was pretty cool, one of my friend's hates it though, can't stand playing it, has to have it on the PC.

Totaly agree But i think the compagny will focus more on developping more sequels to Samurai warriors the same game but with japanese caracters with ninja and sorts.

Raven

Anything that is new, original, and preferably some form of RPG. I can, and probably will have to, wait forever.

UnHoly
01-04-2005, 08:19 PM
You should add about two years to this date. Don't remember how it was with Diablo 2. "You will have it's this year", "We are sorry, but we will realese it in spring", "We promise that you will play it in summer" etc. :D

DeathDude
01-04-2005, 09:44 PM
A few more games I'm looking forward to

AOE 3
GTA: San Andreas for the PC
Soul Calibur 3, even if it is for the ps2

02-04-2005, 06:24 AM
I'm pretty sure they will, golden sun and number 2 must have sold well, it's a wonder what camelot is working on right now, maybe it is golden sun 3, but it could end up on the DS....

Iron_Scarecrow
02-04-2005, 06:35 AM
That is what I'm afraid of, I'd have to buy a DS then. There was also a rumour that there was going to be a Golden Sun for the Gamecube and if that were the case I would have had to buy a Gamecube, but fortunately I haven't heard anything that confirms that.

Well I'm not sure if it is officially in the works already or still just a dream, but I personally can't wait for Starcraft 2.

Strategy + Sci-Fi = Great Games

I am also looking very forward to the next adventure game - if its 2 years or 20 years away - I'm still waiting anxiously for it.

Dreadlord
03-04-2005, 04:41 PM
I think they didn't even make an ending for Halo 2, Bungie was too busy playing the game to write a proper ending.

Silly people with their funny chunky controllers.

04-04-2005, 10:20 AM
Dreamfall definately! I'm also kindda looking forward to those independent game developers to finish the remake of qfg 2, that might be fun hehe.

After Elixir screwed up Republic the Revolution and Akella sold themselves to Disney instead of making real Sea Dogs 2, I refuse to look forward to any game anymore.
