What Games Are You Looking Forward To?

[Renton]

Yeah, another company picked up the rights. They are staring over from scratch with it, from what I can tell.

The RTS is being done by Namco, and the last PC Gamer did a cover story on it.

 

[Alzrius]

I think Dragon Warrior for NES was called Dragon Quest in Japan - is this essentially a new Dragon Warrior game?

From what I can tell, yes.

 

[Zweihänder]

Starcraft: Ghost, KH2, FFXII, Fullmetal Alchemist 3 (I know there's no previews yet, but if they improve on the shortcomings of #2 as well as #2 improved over #1, it could be god in game form)

D&D Online

It's going to suck, and I'll tell you why: you only get XP from quests. You AREN'T ALLOWED to just grind (kill monsters for fun and XP). It's absolutely stupid.

Hmm. That might actually change my mind about MMORPG.

Might. I still have this hang-up about paying monthly fees.

- Whatever that new console castlevania is called. (the one for ps2)

That would be Castlevania: Curse of Darkness (which I am eagerly awaiting as well)

Others include:
-Castlevania: Dawn of Sorrow (DS)
-X-Men Legends 2 (PC)
-Monster Madness (PC)
-Worms 4: Mayhem (PC)

And like many of the other people here:
-Neverwinter Nights 2
-Final Fantasy XII

I think Dragon Warrior for NES was called Dragon Quest in Japan - is this essentially a new Dragon Warrior game? Now there's something I didn't think I'd see. I'd buy that.

Indeed it is. They finally decided to stick with the Japanese name for the North American version.

 

[Welverin]

The only thinkg I can think of that hasn't been mentioned is Soul Calibur 3 (I wish they had a different naming convention for these).

God of War 2 (when eventually announced for PS3) - GoW may be my favorite game of this decade

Wow, you ended up really liking that, too bad more people around here didn't listen to us.

To be fair the reason they change was a legal issue.

It's going to rock, and I'll tell you why: you only get XP from quests. You AREN'T ALLOWED to just grind (kill monsters for fun and XP). It's absolutely awesome.

Fixed.

Wow, you ended up really liking that, too bad more people around didn't listen to use.

Oh yeah. That game is intense and FUN, which is the most important thing. The only thing that was a bit of a letdown was the platforming elements (jump/miss & die) and the last part of the final fight. The rest of the game which is about 95% was just amazing.
