What upcoming games are you looking forward to playing?
I've been behind in my game news reading, so I'm interested in hearing what you all have to say.

1. Hi Kephra,
What are you looking for? Since Nov.2nd, its been 1st Person Shooters for me. I've been just Blowin Shit Awaaaaayyyy!!!

What have you played, and what has been your favorite?

Will you be playing on your computer or on a console (like X-Box or PlayStation)?

2. Pretty much PC only
But I'm thinking of picking up a PS2 again. My last one died on me.

Pretty much FPS and RPG. I'm tired of the old standard RPGs and looking for something different. I think that's why I'm hoping to get the new Vampire game as it's a RPG/FPS combo.

3. Check the thread "DOOM3 Disappointing"
I asked for some recommendations a couple of days ago.

DOOM3 disappointing

I like the idea of RPG/FPS Combo.

4. Been reading it. Saved me money on DOOM
I've been playing PAINKILLER recently and that's old-style DOOM-like goodness. No heavy plot, just killing. It's probably more enjoyable than the new DOOM because there wasn't all the hype so it was a nice little surprise.

I'm thinking more of games that aren't out yet.

6. Kingdom Hearts Chain of Memories on GBA
At this point I just need something, ANYTHING to hold me over until Advent Children comes out...the wait is killing me.

Dying to get my hands on Baten Kaitos too, just short of cash (as usual).

16. Advent Children is a film,
just so you are completely aware if you weren't. :)

20. I'm well aware it's a film.
:D

Half of me is going insane wanting to see it, and half of me is dreading it because I have a sinking feeling it's going to totally screw up all the post-Meteor fanfics I've written. :scared:

8. Starcraft: Ghost and
that H.P. Lovecraft-based game that's supposed to come out in
the not-too-distant future.

11. I'm really worried about Starcraft: Ghost
Edited on Wed Dec-22-04 05:11 AM by Chovexani
Is this game out yet? If not, when the hell is it coming out?

When games get constantly pushed back, it's almost always a bad sign; either they enter the realm of vaporware, or they end up sucking big time (Tomb Raider: Angel of Darkness, I'm looking at you).

I loved Starcraft, it's like crack in a box, but I stopped being excited about Ghost a long time ago. I just don't care anymore. :(

15. Oh! I forgot about that...
You're right. Lemme see what info I can dredge up quickly...

...

...uh... that seems to be none.

The most reliable estimate for a release date I've seen is from the battlenet SC general discussion forum: It's somewhere in the 2000's.

25. "Dark Corners of the Earth"
is the HPL game I think you mean...and I agree. Even spent some TAx return money on a new comp just for that. (and Dawn of War...)

9. Short-term:Day of Defeat Source--Long-term: TES IV: Oblivion
I was a founding member/server admin/web guru for a DoD clan ... I miss those days, when I actually had time for that kind of thing. :( But, I am looking forward to playing the new DoD. If the new CS is any indication of the quality I can expect, it is gonna be awesome.

However, without a doubt, my most anticipated game since Quake II is The Elder Scrools IV: Oblivion. TES III:Morrowind is my absolute favorite non-FPS game of all time. I found it to be a totally immersive, engaging, and enjoyable game.

10. Kindred Most Wanted VtES expansion set.
out in February... :(

but it'll be comborrrific! rush here, rush there, rush everywhere! yay combat! and it'll be a big boost to the Independent clans! woohoo! Assamites, Setites, Ravnos, and Giovanni!

gotta save my pennies and check my school schedule to make sure i can play in the pre-release tourney. it'll probably be draft, but who knows.

in the meanwhile i'm going to tidy myself with 7 precon decks i've been passing up to round out my group 2/3 Sabbat vampires.

and none of you have the foggiest what i'm talking about... :evilgrin:

14. Most of this will wait until I've upgraded my graphics card, but...
Medieval, Total War
HL2

Right now I'm still loving Starcraft/Broodwar and MAME on my system.

18. I'm looking forward to Black & White 2
In spite of Molyneaux's "Fable" foible. "Best RPG of all time" indeed.

I'm also waiting for Quake4, Kingdom Hearts 2 (PS2), whatever the next Myst game will be (I've beaten all five.... with varying degrees of 'help' from the Universal Hint System website, which is quite nicely done, by the way... only the clues you need, when you need them), all of the upcoming custom Half-Life 2 content... the list goes on and on.

Khephra, I find PC Gamer to be a great resource, as are X-Play and a couple other shows (names escape me at the moment ) on Tech TV. Check them out if you don't already do so. :)

Its supposed to be the most realistic WWII FPS ever and you really do get a special bond with the guys.
