ME3 - of course
Prey 2 - looks interesting with a different concept. I thought the first was pretty awful to be honest, so this has to be better right?
Far Cry 3 - again, can't be as bad as the last game surely?
Alan Wake - sounds interesting, and I've gone off console gaming completely anyway
Star Trek - might have potential, but not expecting much
Can't really say any of the others appeal
XCOM: Enemy Unknown should be on that list too, it was quite a nice surprise to hear that's happening. I'd been thinking about replaying the original again soon too.
Aliens Colonial Marines (Coop alien hunting sounds awesome)
Guild Wars 2 (looks promising even if it is not at all like GW1)
King Arthur 2 (Loved King Arthur 1, with the blend of rpg and total war strategy)
X:Rebirth (not sure about this one yet, but hopefully it will be good)
In addition to me looking forward to these games I'm hoping for some fun indie games will turn up.
But maybe that's just me :p
Also coming next year is [URL="http://www.longbowgames.com/rome/"]Hegemony: Rome[/URL].
Is that so much to ask? Hell, I'd put the second up on kickstarter and get a studio together if there were interest :p
I look forward to [URL="http://www.microsoft.com/games/flight/"]Flight by Microsoft[/URL], the sequel to Flight Simulator X, but only time will tell if it will be any good, they've changed the business model, you can download the game for free, but you need to pay for additional content.
Anyway, this also means I will not need to update so soon again. :)
[URL="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ndAl9tXJad4"]So it seems.[/URL] I usually don't look that forward to any of their flight simulator sequels because they always make my rigs look bad. :( But I guess I'm still curious. :)
It's being released as free-to-play and as an "intro" to people that haven't played a sim before... So hedge your excitement on Flight until it is released into the wild.
RC if we can get a team together, I have several partially fleshed out space sims that I'd like to make happen. All with an emphasis on cooperative play. My programming skills are still a work in progress and my art skills are nonexistent unfortunately.
I'm more into RC sim flying right now anyway. Getting better and more confident every day. :)
Are programming skills not always a work in progress. ;) But I understand your dilemma (as probably most programmers do), I too don't have the art skills required to be able to make my games come to life the way I want to.
I see gameplay being a cross between Independence War 2, Bridge Commander, and a submarine sim. 3d bridge with actual stations, with a couple people crewing capital ships together. Bridge stations that actually require players to function correctly (targeting, helm, damage control/engineering etc), the ability to launch player manned fighters. Not a quick build, but it would certainly be unique. The emphasis is on coordinated fleet actions.
If you write the game using panda3d you include us linux people :P
And the next two games will be Resident Evil: Revelations and Ace Combat for 3DS. Played the two demos of Revelation's, and especially the one in the eshop feels like returning to the style of the first one. Meaning, I was excited to play it, and could feel a bit scared too, waiting whats happening at the next corner.
The gameplay works fine, the graphics are great for a handheld. And it just feels fun.
So, I can honestly say that I for one have been more than happy with my purchase of 3DS.
