Anticipated games thread

For postings of upcoming games you covet, not for one's that are already in retail. Discussions are allowed and endorsed to be honest.

Start the ball... Three upcoming titles I want real bad are Super Street Fighter IV, Sonic The Hedgehog 4: Episode 1 and Metroid: Other M. Red Dead Redemption also goes on my list somewhere.

it would be cool to play a new metroid but im not a big fan of sonic anymore so.

Im looking forward to Dead Space 2 and Just Cause 2

Just Cause 2 is already in retail now. The demo, however is great fun, even if I didn't do much in it.
If you liked the side scrolling early 1990s Sonics you'll be in for a treat with Sonic 4.

At the moment the two games I'm most looking forward to are Edge of Twilight and Castlevania: Lords of Shadow.

Red Dead Redemption sits pretty high at the top of my list, too.
Been hoping they'd port the open-world format to an antiquated setting.
(Still hoping they'll do one set in the 1960s Mediterranean at some point. A mix of James Bond and Italian Job. Yes please!)

I'm mainly quite interested about Redemption because the narrative blends into the Mexican Revolution of the mid 1800s. If I recall from trailers it drags the player into that murky part of American history.

EDIT: Okay, scratch that. Just found out it occurs in 1908. So long for my poor estimation of historical dating
ANOTHER EDIT: The revolution occurred around the time of the game's setting. I was kind of right then

Deus Ex 3 - Square-Enix makes this one so for sure It'll be an eyecandy, but DX was all about the plot and atmosphere (and Alexander Brandon ) so I'm kind of worried.

Fallout : New Vegas - I disliked F3 but F:NV is made by Obsidian and they've made Knights Of The Old Republic 2 wich is one of the best RPG's in terms of story of the last decade and many of Obsidian developers were at Black Isle studios wich made Fallout 2 aka. the best cRPG ever . I don't expect changes in a crappy gameplay style (Bethesda won't allow too many changes) but I do look forward for a great story.

Mafia 2 - because I loved the first one for atmosphere and plot.

Splineter Cell : Conviction - because I'm Sam Fisher's fan since the first game was released :-). But I don't expect much from the game.

and I'm kind of waiting for Alan Wake as it sounds sort of Silent Hill-ish 2 .

Super Street Fighter 4... nah. I've played good ol' Alpha (2'nd especially) series lately and I've realized that they're ten times better than the new SF. 3D (or 2.5D) IMO doesn't work well with SF. And because of that I'd also keep an eye on Blaze Blue game...

By far my most anticipated game has to be Final Fantasy XIV: Online, which is basically the spiritual successor to FFXI, with top of the line graphics, revamped gameplay, etc.

Dead Space 2 - Hell. Yes.

Oddly enough, Halo REACH - here's to hoping they don't screw this one up.

For me:

* Sam & Max Season Three (well, it's out April 15th so not too much longer)
* DeathSpank

That's just about it...

np: Autechre - Gantz Graf (Warp20 (Chosen) (Disc 1))

havent really posted anything since Cenaris told me Just Cause 2 was out lol

Fallout New Vegas. Oh hell yes. Most likely though I wont buy the DLC from this. I just plan on buying the original one or wait until a Game of the Year Edition goes out and I wont have to download the DLC on my crappy internet.

If you have a laptop, just head over to some public area.

Heh, quite a few things to look forward to then. I'm moist over a new season of Sam and Max and still perpetually waiting for a close to the Half Life 2 episodes

I do have a laptop, and im sure if I put something as detailed as Fallout in it, it would die the moment I get out of the vault.

I do have a PS3 though. My old 360 got RROD so I just bought me a PS3.

As from now, looking at Wii games... I would say I really look forward to Metroid: Other M and Super Mario Galaxy 2. It's actually announced that the next Zelda game for Wii is coming this year (though I hardly think so), I think this year is anyway going to be one of the best years for Nintedo.

Looking at other platforms like PC and 360, I'll look forward to at least these games for now:

Dead Space 2
Halo: Reach
Mass Effect 3
Fallout: New Vegas
Fallout MMO
Gears of War 3
Portal 2
Half Life 2: Episode 3
Bioshock 3
Modern Warfare 3 (thaat's right, but it seems like both Treyarch and Sledgehammer are making two other CoD games also... say what!?)

Also... I'm a little curios about another MMO called 'The Secret World' which is being made by the same team that made Age of Conan: Hyborian Adventures.

I've done my research ^^
