What Games are you Waiting For? (was forum=28)Follow

Just as the title suggests? What are the release dates you are waiting for, desperately willing time to go faster? Or worse, what are the games you want now that don't even have definitive dates?

I am an RPG addict, so most of mine fall into that category. Although there are some others I am excited about.

MMORPG-

Like so many others, I cannot wait for Warhammer Online. Will I like it? No clue. But everything I have heard or seen, from the concept art to their plans for PvP, excite me.

PC-

None, other than the MMO mentioned above. I don't have the strongest PC around, and I have never really gotten into them. I would love the next SC and WC RTS games to be around soon though.

Console-

PS3-

Little Big Planet (Trailer Link: http://www.stage6.com/PS3-Home/video/1311728/[PS3]Little-Big-Planet---Trailer). I dunno, it just looks legitimately fun. I would like some info on its fabled "bosses" though. But it easily has one of the most impressive Physics Engines that I have ever seen. This game just makes me smile.

FF:XIII. Gorgeous graphics, hopefully the same great story I have come to expect from the FF series (and they need to make up for FFXII a little.) I mean, in the CGI when she looks crestfallen, surrounded by soldiers. I was like, "Whoah."

FF:XIII Versus, Marry Me? Please? No... Okay... Just don't kill me? Crap.

Wii-

I don't own a Wii, so, even though it is already out, I am treating it like it isn't for the immediate future, so I don't get jealous. : P But, Super Mario Galaxy has a similar quality to LBP. Fun.

I'm not really a Wii fan, so that's all there really is, until I see something like the next Zelda.

XBox 360-

I'm not going to lie, my knowledge of the XBox's incoming titles is iffy at best. I just cannot get into the system. I may be a little fanboyish, but when I play with my friend's console it just doesn't click. Mostly, I don't like the controler. But, apart from that, I don't really like FPS games, which seem to make up most of the 360's reptoire. Aside from Blue Dragon and Lost Odyssey, I don't even know what else would play.

I like Halo and all, but only Co-Op... and I'm kinda cheap, and already paying for two MMOs (15 for WoW and 18 for FFXI, with Tetra Master) so I rather not spend the money for XBox Live.


So, tell me your desires! Both for a fun thread, and to get more info out there about upcoming games (so I can find a legitimate reason why I need an Xbox 360, because I am greedy and I want one anyway).

Army of Two.

Chains of Olympus, and FF Crisis Core. Both for psp.

Huh... It seems I should have included handheld consoles in the original post. :P

Well, I second Crisis Core, but I cannot recall what furure PSP/DS games are coming out soon. I, unfortunately, give them less attention than their big brothers.

If it ever comes out, expect me to be elbow deep in Spore.

Probably because all of the brawl games to date have been overrated button mashers with ****ty graphics.

Force Unleashed does look interesting though. MGS 4 might convice me to pick up a PS3.

That would most cool...And a little scary.
Then again it would give those lonely nerds a reason to use their leet online flirting skills.

I'm looking forward to Age of Conan: Hyborian Adventures, SoF: Payback, and WotLK

I'll be looking forward to:
Warhammer Online
Smash Bros. Brawl
Spore
Little Big Planet (now if only I had a friend with a PS3)
Starcraft 2

Am I going to be that lame fan that turns a passing comment about a game into the main discussion? Yes I am.

It's a minor detail, but a rather obvious and annoying mistake, the game series is "Smash Bros." and the third game in the series is "Brawl." Not the other way around.

Smash Bros. is the furthest a game could be form a button masher, it just simply doesn't have an enigmatic control system that forces a player to look at a game manual to figure out what they want to do. Melee has techniques with input speeds surpassing the Guilty Gear series, and depth arguably on par or surpassing the Virtua Fighter series.

Smash Bros. has without question the widest range of enjoyment of any fighting game ever produced, being a notable pick up 'n' play party to a highly competitive tournament scene.

Do you know anything at all about this game series? Or even fighting games as a whole?

I'll see you in late June - early August RJ.^^

Unfortunately there will probably be significant delay overseas. It won't be enough to save you though.

...I'm looking forward to the Wii making games with more realistic graphics. Just hooked it to online a couple nights ago and though there are more options now as far as loading up older titles... it still seems more like drunken fun play than real gaming.

I would like to do a trial of Gods and Heroes if it ever comes out.

...Leisure Suit Larry I suspect would 'cause a few domestic disputes.

I cant wait for new soul caliber on PS3

This just made me laugh! ;o

I really only play MMO's (though I AM gonna play Smash!), so mostly AoC, WAR, and a bunch of original Koreans MMO's that are being published now in the US...though I normally enjoy the European launch more then the NA.

Super Smash Brothers is a great game, and I agree with what most of ALlegory said - BUT - Turin is right in a lot of it being luck based. Also, some characters are just a lot more powerful than others.
