1. Uncharted 3

I'm a little wary of getting excited about upcoming games, because I know that it's turned out badly before. But there's such a selection that's coming up, it's hard not to want them now.

I'm most excited about:
Elder Scrolls 5
Hitman 5
Uncharted 3
Batman: Arkham City
Deus Ex: Human Revolution
and LA Noire.

I'm cautiously optomistic about:
Mass Effect 3
Omikron 2
Thief 4
A possible release of Doom 4
A rumoured
and Max Payne 3

I'm worried about:
Star Wars: Old Republic - because it really seems like a re-skin of WoW
DC Universe Online - because opinions of the Beta haven't been great.

and I was formerly excited about Rage, but after seeing it demo'd, it really just doesn't look like anything special anymore.

edit: Just noticed that there's not a lot of originals on my list. I must be selling out in my old age.

titan18

Elder Scrolls 5
Mass Effect 3
Diablo 3
Dragon Age 2
Crysis 2
Brink
Portal 2
Deus Ex Human Revolution
The Witcher 2
Hitman 5
LA Noire
Possible new GTA(I'm going to be hopeful)
Star Wars:The Old Republic
Shogun 2


Going to be an awesome year.Be pretty expensive though,will build a new desktop to play most of them on PC.

Penn

Portal 2
Batman Arkham City
Metal Gear Solid Rising (if it's out next year)
Devil May Cry (Reboot of the series, if it's out next year)
Uncharted 3
Hitman 5 (if... etc)
And hopefully a new Assassins Creed game

Other than that, I'm hoping to pick up some games I missed out on this year and replaying some others in my collection that I haven't played in a while

BeansBeans

Uncharted 3
Little Big Planet 2
Killzone 3
LA Noire
Resistance 3

Elder Scrolls 5
Deus Ex: HR
Diablo 3
I'm under the impression there is a new Torchlight out, or i could be cracking up.
Brink (cant believe nobody mentioned this)
Rage


I was looking forward to The Old Republic, but the more I see of it, the more meh it gets. It looks really generic. But I'm still hoping it will be brilliant, if nothing new as I had hoped.

Also cannot believe what EA are doing to SSX so disappointed in that, I am.

Shiminay

BULLETSTORM! Definitely most excited about this. It'll be just so nice to have a silly and fun FPS to play again.
Portal 2 (you'd have to be some manner of sick pervert to not be excited at the prospect of more Portal).
Star Wars: The Old Republic - I don't play MMOs, but I played a pre alpha build of this for 6 hours at a media event and was completely hooked.
Arkham City - Asylum was definitely in contention for GOTY for me for 2009
LA Noire - looks quite interesting and my faith in Rockstar has been restored with Red Dead Redemption

Raze_them_all

Mortal Kombat. If it sucks I just give up on even being remotely excited about game releases

Sephiroth_dude

Forgot about brink and l.a noire

Oh yeah, forgot about Gears of War 3 and Shadow of the Collosus HD. Never played SOTC but been assured by many people of how brilliant it is.

(Note: The following release dates and release windows are for North America.)

Q1 2011 (Winter)

The first quarter of the year—the new fourth quarter of the year—is stuffed with great games for all tastes. Whether you like horror (Dead Space 2) or cuteness (LittleBigPlanet 2), there's a game with a "2" in the title for you this winter season. Don't be surprised if Nintendo 3DS details and even the release of the stereoscopic 3D device pop up here.

January
1/4 - Lost In Shadow (Wii)
1/11 - Ghost Trick: Phantom Detective (DS)
1/18 - LittleBigPlanet 2 (PS3), Mass Effect 2 (PS3)
1/25 - Dead Space 2 (PC, PS3, Xbox 360)

Q2 2011 (Spring)

Spring is solid. Good shooters, one potentially great fighting game, and what could be a flood of 3DS games are due now. Be mindful of your winter budget, because the second quarter of 2011 may surprise you.

April
4/12 - Brink (PC, PS3, Xbox 360)
4/19 - Portal 2 (PC, PS3, Xbox 360)
TBD - Mortal Kombat (PS3, Xbox 360)

May
5/10 - Hunted: The Demon's Forge (PC, PS3, Xbox 360)
5/17 - The Witcher 2: Assassins of Kings (PC)

Also out by this point: L.A. Noire (PS3, Xbox 360), ICO & Shadow of the Colossus Collection (PS3), Sorcery (PS3), Shift 2 Unleashed (PS3, Xbox 360), Pokemon Black & White (DS)

Q3 2011 (Summer)

Few video games have laid claim to the industry's slowest season, with the exception of big shooters Resistance 3 and Rage. Fortunately, summer will typically tide us over with great downloadable games and under the radar releases.

July
(silence)

August
TBD - Madden NFL 12 (TBD)

September
9/6 - Resistance 3 (PS3)
9/13 - Rage (PC, PS3, Xbox 360)

Also out by this point: Star Wars: The Old Republic (PC), Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine (PC, PS3, Xbox 360)

Q4 2011 (Fall/Holiday)

Here's where the calendar gets hairy. A few games have already carved out release dates for November, including Uncharted 3 and The Elder Scrolls V, but expect the same pre-holiday madness. Just look at the long list of blockbuster games with a vague Q4 release date at the bottom of this section.

October
(strangely quiet)

November
11/1 - Uncharted 3: Drake's Deception (PS3)
11/11 - The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim (PC, PS3, Xbox 360)

The Unknowns

There are plenty of video games slated for sometime in 2011, including PlayStation 3 games Infamous 2 and SOCOM 4, the we-don't-dare-date-it Duke Nukem Forever, Wii game Mario Sports Mix and Ghost Recon: Future Soldier, games that don't have solid release windows. When we get more concrete release dates on those, we'll update.

Kinetic^

Portal 2. Don't really see anything else there that would be of interest.

YouSavedMyLife

Everyone has named games on my list already.

Mostly excited about Diablo 3 though. Please god let it be 2011. Knowing Blizzard its gonna be addictive as **** and im gonna wish i never bought it. I heard Muramasa and Odins Sphere are getting HD remakes and are gonna be downloadable. Which console is still to be revealed but id like to get them since i never played em and they looked interesting. Mortal Kombat also looks promising, but not expecting anything amazing. Tekken X SF and SF X Tekken also, but 2011 might be optimistic, for Tekken X SF atleast.

Also all the usual big hits with 2's and 3's after their title :rolleyes:
Pixel Junk Shooter 2 is a defo download for me. Loves the first 100%'ed it so will pick this one up asap

That_Guy

Killzone 3
LA Noir
Homefront
Gears Of War 3
Batman: Arkham City
Star Wars: Old Republic

EDIT: Also wanna check out the new Tetris which will be available for download soon.

sarumite

Most of the games I am excited about have already been mentioned....though I did notice that most of the games seem to have a number beside them. Very little in terms of new IP coming about it would seem.

Xluna

Dragon Quest 10, the new Zelda game, a load of 3DS games, King of the fighters 13, Marvel vs Capcom 3 and...I can't believe I'm saying this....the new Mortal Kombat game.:pac:

Don't feel any shame, sure finishing someone off with a combo is great but it doesn't have the sheer fun feeling of ripping someones head off....or what I'm really looking forward too....split leg bandsaw!!!

In fairness, it's hard to get as excited about brand new games than sequels as we generally don't know enough about them. Whereas with sequels, we liked the first (or previous game in the series) and are generally looking forward to more of the same or an improvement on it. You can't get that with a new series

deathrider

Mortal Kombat
Bulletstorm
Duke Nukem Forever

Mortal Kombat is my gaming bread and butter. Really excited about the upcoming one.

tallaghtmick

Really looking forward to dead space 2 and deus ex.

Josey Wales

My list is:
