    Diablo 3 - Will be booking timeoff in work for the week it's released (whenever the hell that is!)

    Goldeneye Wii - Going weak at the knees just thinking about it :)

    WoW Cataclysm, inspite of myself.
    Dragon Age 2
    Mass Effect 3
    Mafia II, which wasn't even on my radar until the brilliant demo.

    Deus Ex: Human revolution


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 8,758 ✭✭✭Stercus Accidit


    Really looking forward to the next metro game, half life ep3 if ever it happens, portal 2, Fallout NV.

    Storm of War: Battle of Britain (IL2 Sturmovik successor)





    Cant wait

    and of course Deus Ex

    For me it's Jagged Alliance 3. There's loads of games I'm looking forward to, but I genuinely loved the first two games and will openly cry if they ever pull their fingers out and finish the third one.



    edit: I just happened to be bumming about the net and found out that there's a Jagged Alliance Online planned for next year. I'm possibly the only person excited about this, but I don't care!

    New Half Life game, Oblivion and Fallout.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,091 ✭✭✭Antar Bolaeisk


    Half Life Episode 3/Half Life 3 (Hurry up Valve ffs)
    Portal 2 (Only a few months to go :D)
    Mass Effect 3 (Again not too distant)
    Dragon Age 2 (Even closer than Mass Effect 2)
    The Witcher 2 (Still no word on a release date but they keep tempting us with new info)
    Bioshock Infinite (The original team are back so even if it's not on Rapture it can't be a bad thing, it is quite a while away though)
    Dead Space 2 (Only a few months away as well)
    Elder Scrolls 5 (This is taking almost as long as it took to traverse Daggerfall on foot)
    Fallout: New Vegas (Okay, so this one is only around the corner)
    GTA 5 (years away)
    Batman: Arkham City (Good few months away yet)
    Beyond Good and Evil 2 (Feels like forever waiting on this game)
    Tropico 4 (About a year away)
    Civilisation 5 (Just around the corner :D)
    American McGee's Return of Alice (Half a year away!)

    Probably more but they're the ones off the top of my head.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 110 ✭✭GisforGrenade


    Civilisation 5
    Age of Empires Online
    Shogun Total War 2
    Company of Heroes Online
    The Old Republic
    Lego Universe
    Guild Wars 2

    Really am hoping that at least one of the mmos above will hold my attention for more than a few weeks.

    Rock Band 3 - that keytar is mighty tempting.
    LittleBigPlanet 2 - LBP but better, and allowing many more genres of games. Exciting!
    Dead Space 2 - this series is absolutely fantastic. DS and Extraction are both great fun, advancing the Resi 4 style gameplay in a far better way than Resi 5 did.
    Fable III - since II was surprisingly good.
    Diablo 3 / Torchlight 2 - to fulfill my recent interest in hacking and slashing.
    Vanquish - more Platinum! w00t!
    Gears of War 3 - a series I have a weakspot for. Shame Vanquish will completely outdo it though ;)
    Child of Eden - because it's been a while since I've had a Rez-esque head****.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,928 ✭✭✭VenomIreland


    Right now I am anticipating:
    Fallout: New Vegas (Made by some of the same crowd who did Fallout 2, which I loved)
    Civ 5 (got hooked on Civ IV)
    TES V (loved Morrowind and Oblivion)
    Guild Wars 2 (First MMO that has me interested)
    Beyond Good and Evil 2 (same reason as Antar)
    Mass Effect 3 (on my second playthrough of Mass Effect, but I've yet to play the second one)
    LBP 2 (loved the first one)
    More that I can't think of right now.

    you'd hope not, or it will be a very lonely and short lived playing experience


  • Moderators, Category Moderators, Computer Games Moderators Posts: 52,394 CMod ✭✭✭✭Retr0gamer


    Persona 5.

    Child of Eden.

    Also there's a PSN-exclusive MMO set in a desert, whose name escapes me. I think you communicate via song.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 266 ✭✭mcgooch


    The Last Guardian

    Probably because a lot of brand new franchises tend to just appear from nowhere so it's hard to get too excited about them :p


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,314 ✭✭✭sink


    Most looking forward to.

    Mass Effect 3
    Dragon Age 2
    Star Wars: The Old Republic
    Unannounced bioware project

    All bioware games funnily enough.

    Also

    Shogun II: Total War
    Halo: Reach
    Bioshock: Infinite
    Portal 2
    Fable III

    Probably more that I can't think of right now.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,608 ✭✭✭irish_stevo815


    Foe me 3 games stand out the most: Bioshock Infinate, Batman Arkham City and Metal Gear Solid:Rising. Everythign else i'm looking forward to is being released within the next 2-5 months so it doesnt seem too bad


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 18,816 ✭✭✭✭K.O.Kiki


    That's 3 games :rolleyes:

    Battle Raper 5


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 7,496 ✭✭✭quarryman


    All I want (but will probably never see, no info on it anyway) is an Elder Scrolls V.

    Ye can keep yissir Fallout 4/5/6 *spits on the ground* pah!


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 214 ✭✭Yag reuoY


    I expected a chorus of agreement when I announced the fourth installment of the Thief series. :(

    I guess I'm the only hardcore gamer on here. :(


  • Moderators, Category Moderators, Computer Games Moderators Posts: 52,394 CMod ✭✭✭✭Retr0gamer


    I only started playing through the series last week so will be in agreement when I finish all 3 :P

    3 was a bit of a let down if I'm brutally honest, but still a decent offering.

    Words cannot describe how epic the first two are -- awe inspiring.

    Pity the other 'gamers' on here don't seem to appreciate greatness -- probably too involved with their Barbie World series.:pac:

    syndicate 3/syndicate wars 2 or whatever.


    Imo its time for a sandbox cyberpunk future city. With flying cars etc. Mixed with the ability to control more then one unit.

    GTA has gotten old, GTA 5 better be more of an online style thing tbh to mix it up, otherwise its just the same game with different characters and better graphics over and over and over.


    If they made the syndicate game more of an fps it'd just look like a weak dues ex.

    They just need to mix what they had in the old games with GTA and add some coop features and I'll a damn happy gamer.

    I realised that soon after signing up. :pac:

    You got the message regardless, so my fail is somewhat mitigated. :o

    Beyond Good and Evil 2 (Feels like forever waiting on this game)

    Same here, probably will have to wait longer than what we've been waiting so far..:(

    Dead Rising 2 - about 5 weeks away.


  • Moderators, Category Moderators, Arts Moderators, Computer Games Moderators, Entertainment Moderators Posts: 30,014 CMod ✭✭✭✭johnny_ultimate


    On the Beyond Good and Evil 2 front, some positive news. Even hints about this game are exciting: building on the ideas of the first, it genuinely has the potential to be an all time great. C'mon, Ancel, get cracking!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,928 ✭✭✭VenomIreland


    Oh yeah, Ubisoft, I forgot I wasn't going to buy any of their games until they cease their ridiculous DRM :(

    Speaking of Ancel, Rayman looks amazing.

    Going to also add Catherine to my list and Deadly Premonition.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,066 ✭✭✭thewheel2.0

    Altho its the beatles vs spice girls argument on a different format tho. Sadly im expecting spice girls to win this one.

    BGE sold 5 copies? Some ****er named racthet sold 3 million and didnt even have the courtesy to name drop mario as his da.

    There's word that they are going to embrace Steam as their DRM of choice dropping the crappy DRM they've been using. Hopefully this proves to be true.

    I love STEAM, so that would be awesome.
