Games your Looking Forward To, 2011

According to this supposedly realleaked release chart, we should see D(iablo)3 in Q4 of this year.

I'm speechless, WOW movie ... And Titan is yet to be announced project, am I right ?
 
In regards to DMC, I don't think people really care about lore so much. If you ask me, it was never anything remarkable. It's the feel of the new one that seems all wrong. DMC never took itself too seriously with its' "so cheesy/ridiculous it's cool" way.

This new incarnation feels very generically gritty, and Dante tries to be badass too hard and looks too emo this time. This is my take on it, at least.
 
Portal 2 and Human revolution.

Yeah thats about it. I guess im still little bit curious to finally see the duke nukem forever.
 
Portal 2 - even while i'm scared of it being much less enjoyable than the first one.
Dungeons - most likely i will be disappointed with it, but well.
Shogun 2 Total War - I hope it won't be such a bugfest like Empire was when it came out.

Can't think of any other announced game i'm really looking forward at the moment.
 
I hope shogun 2 total war isn't steam related either, steam is what stopped me from playing empire total war!

Just watched the trailer, quite weird tbh. Judging from the trailer though, it doesn't seem like they're planning to change much about the gameplay, just about the lore.

I don't know, I hope it's just the lore and art direction they are changing but I'm not so optimistic. They said they want to reach to a wider demographic and you know what that usually means, right? They also made a couple of throwaway comments on GoW regarding this, which isn't a good thing.

Actual production is another problem. The game has been outsourced to Ninja Theory with supervision from Capcom. NT track record when it comes to gameplay isn't stellar, the engine they are using isn't suited for this kind of games (and they aren't excellent programmers anyway) and the extent of the supervision from Capcom isn't revelaed.

At the moment things don't look good. :|
 
Warhammer 40.000: Dawn of War 2 - Retribution

Diablo 3

Crysis 2 (hope the damned hype doesn't ruin the experience, but Crysis 1 was so damn awesome)

Mass Effect 3 (though I'm still in the Omega system in ME2)


Still didn't have the balls to finish The Witcher and Dragon Age, so I'm not eager for the sequels yet.
 
Deus Ex: Human Revolution
Dungeon Siege 3
Duke Nukem Forever
Agent
The Secret World

and probably some other games i can't remember right now.
 
I am still not sure if I should allow my self to "enjoy" the waiting for Deus Ex 3 or if I should get ready for a heavy dissapointment. The trailers and such definetly look awesome (and it seems to make them has cost more then a few games today ...).

Dunno. Letz see what happens.

Is Uwe Boll making it?

I'm pretty sure I read something about this awhile ago and Blizzard explicitly said that they wouldn't get Boll to make it. I don't really see any potential in WoW for a movie so it doesn't make sense if they want to retain the quallity associated with their brand (Blizzard, not WoW).

Yeah that pretty much sums it up. Most of the fans didn't care if there was any continuity, they just didn't like it when the over the top mark it aimed for was missed or when the game failed to measure up (DMC2 on both accounts). DMC4 took some flak for making Nero the protagonist and him not really hitting quite nailing the DMC mark (he lacked Dante's flair or Virgil's "badassitude", was just pretty unremarkable) and for a bit too much back tracking (reusing assets rather than creating new ones).

Re-imagining Dante just makes no sense if you don't go a much more serious route, which really doesn't make sense anyway (the first game was the right balance for the franchise). It doesn't help any that his new back story seems pretty lame. They would be better off simply making a new game or a spin-off, especially given how different they seem to be wanting to make it. That all said, if they bring back the demon transformation/special powers from the first game, I'll at least be happy about something.

If it's not being made by the DMC team then I'm extremely skeptical. I'm having flashbacks to DMC2 only worse...

Apparently it's an origin story and Capcom claims they pushed Ninja Theory to make Dante much different. Oh joy. Source
 
I don't see any point in making WoW movie. Neither can I imagine storyline, characters or anything that hasn't already been seen. It will probably be a fail, like a D&D movie.
 
if there is even porn out for WoW I am sure there will be a market for a movie as well ... even if the story is as boring like the game.
 
Sam Raimi (Evil Dead, Spider-Man 1 and 2) is directing the WoW movie IIRC. So it's already a step up in quality from usual video game movies directors imho.

About that chart: SC2 expansion and Diablo 3 in the same holiday? My wallet will cry in anguish because I aim to give them as gifts as well as buying them. And 2 expansions for D3? Never said anything about that before I think.
 
Homefront is the only game I'm interested in. Finally, FPS developers with brains. Showing consequences of violence and going for stronger emotional response. I welcome that with open arms.

The point is for Blizzard to make lots of money off brain-dead WoW fans who would go see it unconditionally, and probably love it too.

And hey, I actually quite enjoyed the second D&D movie :?

@Homefront: Like the freedom fighter idea, hate the setting. I know crumbling America is all the rage in videogames these days, but they seriously could've picked a more realistic and interesting setting.
