Heh. I gave up on that one years ago. Supposedly, the folks at PCGamer have seen it running. Maybe it will see the light of day...

I try to go here every six months or so, just to check up on things.....The Duke 4 FAQ hasn't been updated since January......

OK....So maybe I'm not holding my breath (not for 5 years), but I still have a little hope....

I was wondering if anyone tried that one out. I kept seeing the ads so I tried it. It's pretty cool! Some of the creep-out parts actually scared me, and it wasn't a cheesey gimmick. Might have to pick this one up.

Yeah, creepiest game i've played in a while. Even the actual "fighting" bits in the latter part of the demo were quite gripping, in an "oh crap, where are they?" kind of way. It also ran pretty well for me at max graphics which is nice. I'll def pick this one up when it gets a full release.
 


1. Soul Calibur 3 (PS2 :()
2. Grandia 3 (PS2)
3. Dragon Quest VIII (PS2)
4. Wild ARMs: Alter Code F (PS2)
5. Wild ARMs: The Fourth Detonator (PS2)
6. Heroes of Might and Magic V (PC)
7. Suikoden Tactics (PS2)
8. Legend of Zelda: Twighlight Princess (GC)
9. Civilization 4 (PC)
10. NBA 2K6 (GC, probably)
11. Metroid Prime 3 (GC)
12. Radiata Stories (PS2)
13. Dragonshard (PC)
14. Final Fantasy XII (PS2)
15. Unreal Tournament 2006 (PC)

SC3, despite being a PS2 exclusive :mad: looks absolutely amazing. I'd vastly prefer it for the Cube.
I've been highly dissapointed with the PS2 (and handful of Cube) RPGs, but the PS1 generation's best came at the end, so there's still some hope. Grandia 3 looks like the best of a very solid bunch, followed closely by DQ8, and I've yet to play a Wild ARMs I didn't like. FF12 would be higher if it weren't for its apparently (and appallingly) MMORPG-style battle system.
Heroes of Might & Magic 5 would headline the list if I could only believe it a return to the style of Heroes 2 and 3. From what I've seen so far, the new management hasn't made any attempt to regain the graphical panache of classic Might and Magics, so I doubt they've bent themselves out of shape to restore the gameplay. Still, Heroes is Heroes; I've given hundreds of hours to past versions, I'll give at least a chance to this one.
Civ4 is... Civ. Bah. Alpha Centauri was infinitely superior. I'd pay $100+ for a new Alpha Centauri game, but this is the next best thing, I guess.
Zelda is Zelda. Always fun, never my favorite.
For Metroid, see Zelda. :)
Who's making the next NBA game, anyway, SEGA or EA? Doesn't much matter, I'll buy it at launch regardless. Still, I'm not as hyped as I was last year.
Dragonshard looks like the first interesting RTS since Warcraft 3. I'll give it a shot, but I don't have high hopes for it. TBS (Turn-based Strategy) > RTS.
UT '06 would be higher if it weren't probably more than a year away. By this time next year, it could be the only one left from this list. :cool: I doubt Heroes V will be out by then, though.

Mmm. I'd be skeptical of your statement since you know of Hellgate: London. :lol:


It was in a PCGamer mag with Half-life two stuff. What can I say? Also, I have heard of it, it's an RPG with an oriental theme, other then that and I know nothing.

What did parts of the War3 style did you not like?

Many of the visual effects, the 3d stuff, the weird zooming, etc.
Also some gameplay-related things, mostly the avatars and somewhat low number of total units.

And Starcraft 2 just is more fun to play than Warcraft 3.

sigh.
now that zelda is delayed
(and to me it sounded more like a delay this because we're delaying the revolution and we want to stretch out the cubes life as much as possible)

sign me up for mario baseball and soccer.
although i dont know who ill be able to play with because some of my sports fan friends are already saying they dont want to deal with the "nonsense" during mario baseball (cuz i can slaughter them in mario tennis because i'm better at the nonsense)

geist looks like it might be fun. anyone play it yet?
