Games I'm looking forward to

Matblack · 12-01-2009, 13:14

Silent Hill

I've never played any of the Silent Hill games but this looks really good, I get the impression HP Lovecraft was a big influence on the makers of this series, the senary and creatures look very Lovecraftian

Resident Evil 5

This will almost certainly be good, the only RE I have played is the last game on the Wii but I liked it a lot.

Alan Wake

Please God don't let this be a let down, we've waited what seems like years and I'm expecting big things.

Wolfenstein

Could be a cracker this if its anything like an updated RTCW, the graphics look impressive and the story needs to really rock with a great combat engine and some futuristic Nazi tech

Huxley

I've put this one down because it intreigues me, it could be the first FPS/MMORPG to encourage me to part with a subscription fee

FFXIII

And why not, its the next installment of my favorite JRPG and the 360 has the tech to do it some serious justice, as long as the battle system holds together (and we know the story will!) then its going to be epic. Saddle me up a Chocobo I'm going in!

Also on the list; Batman Arkham Asylum, Assassins Creed 2 and maybe the new Ghostbusters game but we'll have to see

Looks to look forward to though and maybe some pre orders to get in

Drools over Wolfenstein and some of thoese other games you mention.

Alan Wake has been delayed to 2010 I believe.

ID making a big come back this year. Wolfenstein as above but with RAGE too.

ID always do this, have a big gap in titles but then suddenly come out with 2 crackers in a year.

Biggest title of the year for me will be FFXIII assuming it actually comes out this year, sadly the translation process of the english PS3 version is being held back so that the porting process to the 360 can catch up to allow for a simultaneous release. It's great that all platforms will get what will probably be one of the best RPGs of this 'generation' but i wish they would release it as quickly as possible as opposed to waiting so a simultaneous release could occur.

Don't get your hopes up for silent hill, i've had the NTSC version for ages and it's very average.

Wossi · 12-01-2009, 15:38

Is it bad that I have never played a FF game?

leowyatt · 12-01-2009, 15:39

Me neither

Jhadur · 12-01-2009, 15:48

Nor me

Streeteh · 12-01-2009, 15:51

Depends, if you like RPGs then it's pretty much a mortal sin not to have played them, final fantasy being the best the eastern world has to offer. Many (read: me) would go as far as arguing that a couple of them are the best ever.

If you don't like RPGs then, no, cos you probably won't like em

[EDIT] Oh and, the new silent hill is a disappointment on the PC, i doubt the console release will be much different. It seems the series has lost its way.

leowyatt · 12-01-2009, 16:29

one thing I will ask about the FF series, are they turn based combat?

Shame, I saw the film and quite enjoyed it and I thought the creature design looked awesome in the screen shots, but never having played the series I didn't know what to expect :/
