Games you're looking forward to
So Fallout: New Vegas is coming out next week and after that in November the new Call of Duty gets it's release. Then sometime in 2011 Brink comes out, an awesome looking game which almost nobody I know is interested in.
Common thread in all these games: All FPS's with high levels of customization and re-playability, my main criteria for picking out a game.
Also looking forward to Bioshock: Infinite, and this XBLA game called Breach coming out in January, and the new Silent Hill.
Can't think of anything else right now. There probably isn't anything else.
What about you?
"My April fools joke: A rabbi and a priest walk into a bar. The rabbi orders a beer. The priest orders a whiskey. They have an engaging conversation about the world economy because they are both educated on such matters. Richard Dawkins walks in with a pack of savage scientists, and yells: "I AM HERE TO HAVE AN ORGY OF SCIENTIFIC REASONING IN THE FACE OF YOUR QUAINT SUPERSTITIONS." The priest and the rabbi finish their drinks and quietly leave the bar as Richard Dawkins begins to masturbate." -Phil Jourdan

Also looks like you have a thing for sequels.
Does anyone else just absolutely despise FPSs?
I think i'm a man alone on this one.
Microsoft owns Alan Wake so there's almost no chance of it coming out for the PS3.
And the new Silent Hill is coming out sometime next year. Silent Hill fans are raging because the guy that did the music for all the other games isn't returning. Instead they have the guy who does the music for Dexter.
Here's the trailer from earlier this year: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BS7xj78t4dk
I think the music sounds fine.

I'm pretty sure all of Japan hates FPS games. I don't think I've ever seen an FPS that was made by a Japanese developer.

I wouldn't know. I haven't played a 1st person shooter seriously since Perfect Dark for N64.
Here's the trailer from earlier this year: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BS7xj78t4dk
I think the music sounds fine.
That's definitely going to be a completely different experience playing it without him, but I don't know about going into a rage over it. How many of those things has he done now anyways? 5 games worth of music? He's probably just burnt out. there's only so many themes and tunes you can do with a spooky town before you just start repeating yourself.
I'll still be buying it, that's for sure.
Silent Hill 8 Trailer - E3 2010
Holy Shit! They're up to #8??!!
I don't have a good computer. I don't have a PS3. I don't have any money.
It sucks pretty bad.
I'd love to play New Vegas. I played Fallout 3 way to much, so I'd like to play a new place and stuff. Bioshock: infinite looks really nice too. other than that I don't know what games are coming. It's to depressing to drool over what I can't have.

New Vegas looks great, and after that Assassins Creed Brotherhood is the next game on my list. But now I'm debating between getting the new Medal of Honor or Black Ops, I can't decide, but I at least have one military FPS in my collection, and I'm going to be trading in Modern Warfare 2, which hasn't aged well. If I can't decide between those two I'll just Goldeneye for the Wii. Brink does look pretty good, but I'm not exactly sold on the merging of online and offline gaming, an excellent single player experience will, for me, always be better than any multiplayer game. Thats way Bioshock Infinite looks like the holy grail. But so far the most anticipated game for 2011; The Last Guardian.

Citizen Kane SUCKED!!!!!!! True fact.
Alcoholism is the cure not the disease.
i was really looking forward to castlevania lord of shadow. now that its out, i dont think theres anymore must-haves for me, for a long time. i'll give black ops, and the line a try, though

“...There are so many ways of being despicable it quite makes one's head spin. But the way to be really despicable is to be contemptuous of other people's pain. You ought to have some apprehension that the man you see before you was once even younger than you are now and arrived at his present wretchedness by imperceptible degrees.”
-James Baldwin
I think i'm a man alone on this one.
I don't quite despise them, but I prefer games that have an interesting story. Bioshock is a good FPS that also has a decent story and atmosphere. Fallout is incredible but it was too time-consuming for me to even try and put a dent in.
I find most FPS too visceral.
I actually got into the beta of that one. It was pretty crappy. I kept referring to it as "Ghost Recon: Sand Edition" when I was playing it. I deleted it from my hard drive after a day.

I like the immersiveness of a FPS so long as it has a good story and all that. Strategy, platformers, RPG, and Third-person games don't do it for me the same way.

Same story here.
Plus I just like to shoot shit.

I'm kind of interested in Rage even though it's basically Borderlands but with better graphics, and Crysis 2 even though it's suppose to be a pretty bland supersoldier-fights-aliens thing with good graphics.
But I doubt I'll get those.

I just saw a commercial for this new Red Dead Redemption game with the zombies! I think I just had an involuntary orgasm! and I haven't even played the regular game yet.
Seems tacked on to me, but whatever floats (down here, Georgie!) your boat.
It's an add-on Nate, not an entirely new game.
I know it hasn't been announced but I want Gear Box to stop dicking around and hurry up with that Borderlands sequel.
Hopefully they'll get to it after they're through with all this Duke Nukem nonsense.

so...what, you just play through the regular game but all the bad guys are now zombies?
No I'm sure you start up a new or saved game and there's a place to start the new missions somewhere.

Bah!
You're lazy.
If you must, you can wait until November 23rd when they release a standalone version that doesn't require the original Red Dead Redemption to play it. I may get that one.

I just downloaded it before work. Only got a chance to play for about half hour though. But it was pretty badass. I mean, you can't really go wrong with a zombie western, can you? There's a whole new storyline and side missions, so there's plenty to do. New weapons. New animals (chupacabra). New characters. Lookig forward to Serling into it for a bit tonight.
The standalone also includes a few of the other expansion packs too.
Ridiculously awesome info about the zombie mode in the new Call of Duty.
Kind of spoiler-ish so click at your own risk.

JFK said that. It's relevant to that link I posted.

it's a FPS. you could just say you're any of those people at any point in the game.
But none of those other people sound like Nixon or JFK and spout off character-appropriate one-liners when they blow a zombies head off.

there should be a game where they are like the Bosses you got to fight at the end of each level. You got to shoot a zombie JFK from some kind of grassy knoll. Zombie Castro's beard protects his head or something, so you first got to burn or cut off his beard before you can cut off his head.

I'm waiting for:
Yakuza 4 & Yakuza of the End
Resident Evil: Revelations (I'm pretty hyped for that one, hyped enough to buy a 3DS)
Last Guardian
Valkyria Chronicles 3 (second was bollocks but third looks amazing)
gosh, every year there is less and less cool games to play...
Muffins, Jazz & Trolling! Fuck Yeah! :3
You're playing the wrong kind of games if you have that problem. Year after year there are seemingly more and more games I don't have time to play.
I have a specific tastes. I don't fancy Call of Duty/Crysis/Killzone/Resistance/Medal of Honor ect.
Muffins, Jazz & Trolling! Fuck Yeah! :3
Because they're the same game.
On a related note, I find it odd when people call a game a "God of War clone". I played the first GoW and, while not bad game by any means (or a great one for that matter) it seemed to be incredibly reminiscent of Devil May Cry (which is reminiscent of 3D hack and slash games that came before that).
Does this make me a hypocrite for disliking fps's and most sports games for all being the same? A little, but just remember we all have different "cups o tea".
GoW is a US version of DMC mixed with Onimusha (with feudal Japan changed to ancient Greece) and a bit of Rygar. I don't like GoW too much too. I think it was technical marvel for a console so old as PS2, but I love only one slasher - Ninja Gaiden Black.
Muffins, Jazz & Trolling! Fuck Yeah! :3
Not including FPS, games that are out next year that I am excited for:
- Mass Effect 3
- Gears of War 3
- Uncharted 3
- LA Noire
- Arkham City
- Portal 2
- Dead Space 2
- Dragon Age 2
And the FPS Stuff
- Brink
- Bulletstorm
Most of these games are due out in the first half of 2011. There are a hell of a lot of good games coming out that we know of. Add in the unannounced & unexpected stuff and the list is very big.
I'm definitely looking forward to Gears of War 3. I forgot about that one coming out soon. Thanks for the reminder.
I'm looking forward to a Rainbow Six Vegas 3 (if they ever decide to make it). Or maybe it will end up being Rainbow Six Detroit, or Chicago, or something else. Either way, I want another Rainbow Six!
- Arkham City
Dr Hugo Strange has got to be my favorite Batman villian. Is he the best villian? No, but he is my favorite. He would be perfect for a Christopher Nolan Batman movie. He's not supernatural but he's creepy and he messes with your mind (like Nolan).
Guess I should add Elder Scrolls V to my list.
And the FPS Stuff
- Brink
Glad to see somebody else excited about Brink. Seems like nobody else I know is.

Portal 2 should be fun.
Also, the next Duke Nukem will be out in November '11. Can't wait.

I'm mad at Duke Nukem. He's delaying my Borderlands sequel.

But but but...
he's got balls of steel!
At this point making Duke Nukem is just pointless. So many years, so much hype, and now it will be just another FPS in the sea. I highly doubt it will be revived enthusiastically. Anyway, Gearbox better starts working on that Alien games they promised 2 years ago.
Muffins, Jazz & Trolling! Fuck Yeah! :3
You reckon they'll make an Inception game. They better. And it better be good.
brink has me interested as well.

I don't know shit about games coming out. When the Silent Hill one coming?
also, what are the chances of Allan Wake coming out on PS3? Or is that one pretty much locked up by xbox like Halo?
