games you look forward to in 2008 and beyond

[annon]

Ecco the dolphin, defender of the future.

lol gay

The only thing that comes to mind is Brawl, but I might think of others.

[NewF]

Fuck, if I woulda known that, I woulda kept my PS2.

I LOVED the Ecco games, and had NO IDEA there was one out for ps2.
They don't have it for xbox though do they

[Milk Chan]

Uhh my 3 games i'm looking forward to are Spore, DDR Supernova 2 JP, and IIDX Gold.

I'd add Gran Turismo 5 but I don't have a PS3 and that game is vaporware anyways.

I'd add Gran Turismo 5 except I know that they'd somehow find a way to make the load times even more ridiculous.

I remember playing Ecco when I was like 7. It was hard as fuck.

[MortifiedocAlot]

Red Alert 3 just got announced, FUCK YES. I've been trying to get into RTS for a while, I guess I'll just buy RA 3, SC 2, and what ever new War hammer game comes out.

[ShB]

-Starcraft II because I still play the origional.  It could be either good or ridiculiously bad.  Then again, that's what they said about Warcraft III but look at that shiny piece of sexy go.

My favorite rumors:
-Diablo III just as long as it doesn't take months to get your character up to level like it does in WoW.

-Knights of the Old Republic MMO because nothing says "I'm proud to dedicate my life on this game" like a sith wookie with a light saber.

im going to reply to this

first rumor, blizzard has stated they will revisit the diablo franchise.  being as they made starcraft 2 an rts, i doubt they will ruin diablo by making it an mmo.  also, i can say with confidence, after "diablo 3" comes out in the far future, i can expect we will see warcraft 4, an rts.

second rumor, i can just destroy that with this link.

"When the BioWare/LucasArts announcement hit, we speculated that the game in question was a new Star Wars MMO, but the new product list at least seems to disprove this, with the KOTOR game and MMO listed separately."

im not anti mmo(that may not be suprising with the wow stuff and all, but honestly, i could care less for the genre), but i hate it when game devs ruin series by changing the genre.  the way sega ruined the shining force series is a good example.  thankfully, we have sights of a good kotor sequel in the future.

Agreed. I loved the original Shining Force games, but the new stuff is crap :/

add fable 2 to the list

im fucking sold, i can't deny that that is one of the most awesome things i have ever seen in a game.

anywhere in the game, a friend can jump in with HIS OWN FABLE 2 CHARACTER, and you can play the game co-op, and when he leaves, he retains all he gained from the play session. 

my god

*edit*  the list keeps getting bigger and bigger

im no bionic commando fan, but both bionic commando games coming out look spectacular.  im definatley looking forward to playing them.

[vladgd]

im double posting due to this game looking spectacular

i expect this to be the third xbla game i purchase

[MortifiedocAlot]

New left 4 dead trailer, shit looks awwwwwight.

[Ulti]

Left 4 Dead is probably the only game I'm overly excited for in the near future.

[Sneaky]

I'd like a Jade Empire 2, it's still just an idea I believe. Something they 'want to do'. I really enjoyed the first one.. KOTOR I and II are both on my list of favorite games, and I'd love a kotor III. An mmo would be fun, but I'm afraid it may be eventually nerfed and 'updated' to the point where people leave. But hey, maybe they learned a lesson from SWG.

Seriously, I checked the stats because I'm playing wow now, with over 9million plus active accounts, and SWG, at most (on the server I played on) had 700 people.  that's only one server.. So here's hoping they don't screw it up too bad.

WoW is by FAR the biggest MMORPG success on earth. It DWARFS every single other game, even the really huge ones.
