[Javert]

After trying the Arkham Asylum demo on my PC, I really want to get it now. At least I have a giftcard for Best Buy I haven't used yet.

As for 2010, there's Guild Wars 2 and The Old Republic.

 

[B_MAN]

what's COD6?

games that i'm really excited about:

COD: MW 2
Forza Motorsport 3
Left 4 Dead 2
GTAIV: The Ballad of Gay Tony

games that i'm interested in/considering:

DIRT 2
Assassin's Creed 2
Bioshock 2
Dragon Age: Origins
Borderlands
Bayonetta (might be 2010 though)
The Last Guardian (also 2010? plus i don't have a PS3!)

don't get the hype/couldn't care less about:

Halo 3: ODST

 

[Vegeta897]

Looking forward to Scribble Nauts.

Don't care about anything else.

 

[tesher06]

None except the next Half-Life package. COD-Call of Duty(terrible game, dam consoles)...

 

[Kyorisu]

Only thing I'm looking forward to right now is Majesty 2.

 

[Mr. Djees]

Hyped for:

Mass Effect 2
Brutal Legend
Uncharted 2
Guild Wars 2

Games I don't get the hype for:

The Last Guardian (I'm sure not having played Ico and Shadow of the Colossus has a lot to do with this though)
COD: MW2 (Love Modern Warfare, don't like the direction 2 is taking, starting to look more and more like a Michael Bay movie for every trailer I see)
Starcraft 2 and Left 4 Dead 2 (More of the same, which isn't necessarily bad, but doesn't get me hyped either)

Wow, not many new IPs coming out in the near future.

 

[Ren.182]

Hyped for:

L4D 2
Guild Wars 2
Anything by Valve

Considering getting:

OFP: DR
COD: MW2
Mass Effect 2
Assassins Creed 2
DiRT 2

 

[Shakermaker]

Totally hyped for Borderlands. How people don't get the attraction of a good shooter with co-op and multiplayer mixed with rpg-elements and a Diablo-esque loot system is beyond me.

EDIT To prove my point how awesome this game is:

Neumann said that one of the most rewarding moments he's experienced while playing the game was scoring a critical headshot on one of his ailing teammates from a lengthy distance using a sniper rifle loaded with the medicinal ordnance.

EDIT 2 Oh yeah, vehicular combat. I keep forgetting that.

 

[Lucid]

Hyped for:
Modern Warfare 2
Dragon Age: Origins
Starcraft 2(2010)
Diablo 3(2011)

Somewhat Interested in:
L4D2
Borderlands
Guild Wars

 

[Paulaner]

Just waiting for Dragon Age.

 

[Shem]

I'm only hyped for:

Modern Warfare 2 (2009)
Left 4 Dead 2 (2009)
Half-Life 2: Episode Three (who knows)
Star Wars: The Old Republic (possibly 2010)

The only problem I have is both MW2 and L4D2 come out in the same month, November. I'm wondering which game I should get first...

 

[Dinnesch]

Lookinbg forward to:
Crysis 2
COD MW2
Assassins Creed 2(never played the first one, but I think i would've liked it)

 

[Quixoticism]

Hyped for:

StarCraft 2
Half-Life 2 Ep3
GuildWars 2

I'm also watching Diablo 3 and Mass Effect 2, but I still haven't even played the first ME.

 

[Nomad]

SCRIBBLENAUTS
Half Life 2 Ep 3
Assassin's Creed 2
Portal 2
If it ever comes out, Arkham Asylum 2

 

[Escaep]

what's COD6?

games that i'm really excited about:

COD: MW 2

COD6=MW2.

 

[VirusType2]

Forza Motorsport 3 looks great. Shame it won't come out for the PC. No, I won't cave in and get a console for any reason.

I'm not really hyped for anything. I'm interested in:

GuildWars 2
Diablo 3
RAGE
DiRT 2
COD: Modern Warfare 2
Shank
Lost Planet 2
'That Sonic Team game' - (I forget the name)

 

[Laivasse]

Games in the near future (not including games we know almost nothing about like fallout new vegas, agent etc) :...

...Half Life 2 Episode 3...

Games I don't get the hype for:

The Last Guardian (I'm sure not having played Ico and Shadow of the Colossus has a lot to do with this though)

Tbh it was hard for me to even see what the fuss was about Ico and SotC until I'd played them. Having played them though, Last Guardian is about the only game I'm looking out for aside from HL2: Ep3, and that's despite not even owning a PS3.

Just waiting for Dragon Age.

Dragon Age was the one big thing I was waiting for, but I've been less and less impressed by how it's shaping up... Time will tell, but I can't honestly say I'm 'hyped' for it any more.

 

[DEATH eVADER]

Games I want:
Supreme Commander 2
Secret World (Can't wait to see gameplay vids)
Dreamfall 2 (Been waiting for a sequel for some time)
Halflife 2: Episode 3
Portal 2
Infinity: Quest for Earth

I was hyped about CitiesXL, but some things have surfaced about MC financial strategy that is abuzz amongst the community

 

[13LACKBISHOP]

I only have hype for these games.

Tekken 6
Diablo 3
Starcraft 2

Besides, I don't buy games based on hype. If I did that, I would have wasted a lot of money.

 

[Barnz]

Any Valve/Gearbox (Colonial Marines) product, and probaly Fallout: New Vegas

 

[Dog--]

Not hyped for:

Starcraft 2
Diablo 3

Hyped for:

Scribblenauts

 

[Mr. Djees]

Hopefully they'll release a Team Ico collection before The Last Guardian comes out, like they are doing with the God of War collection. I've been wanting to play SotC for a long time now.

 

[Deleted member 56031]

Damn you got me Surprised you didn't mention portal 2 as well.

 

[Unfocused]

Not really hyped for anything in the near future.

Easy ones:

I'm not a nex-gen console gamer, so there's plenty of games I really don't care about for practical reasons.

 

[FrostedxB]

Not hyped:
Halo ODST
Halo Reach
Left for Dead 2 (I may buy it, but I don't follow all the updates/news)

[Reginald]

EDIT To prove my point how awesome this game is:



EDIT 2 Oh eah, vehicular combat. I keep forgetting that.

Was pretty interested before but that quote there made my hype sky-rocket.

Also on the horizon are Mass Effect 2, Assassin's Creed II, Left 4 Dead 2 and The Ballad of Gay Tony.

 

[B_MAN]

COD6=MW2.

...

[Deleted member 56031]

yes, i know that's what he meant but it isn't actually COD 6
...
don't start.

:rolling:

How is it not COD6? It's the sixth main title so why is it not? Look at some movie franchises like friday the 13th, just because it doesn't include the number does that mean they don't count? If so I'm still waiting on friday the 13th part 4 and all the nightmare on elm street films after 5 don't count either. I suppose I need to wait on COD5 as well.

EDIT: Also the next COD in development's working title is COD 7.

 

[knut]

I thought they dropped the COD title? It's technically the 6th Call of Duty game, yes, but I thought the name change to simply Modern Warfare was an indication that they wanted to break away from the old name slightly.

 

[Deleted member 56031]

nope, it was added back in after consumer awareness for the game dropped (seriously an idiot could have seen that coming from space I always wondered why activision decided to do that)

 

[Emporius]

Hyped For:
Modern Warfare 2
Bioshock 2
Halo: ODST

Don't Get:
Left 4 Dead 2

 

[B_MAN]

what part of "don't start" do you not understand? sick of arguing with people about this

bottom line is, world at war is NOT COD 5 and MW 2 is NOT COD 6
also, COD 7 is a working title.... who knows what they will actually call it
period.

You're seriously wrong. If what you say is true, care to explain why?

 

[Deleted member 56031]

God I am sick of people arguing about this too but let's put it this way:

If the next COD has a working title of COD 7 then the previous game must be COD6 what is the previous game? it is this:

also, COD 7 is a working title.... who knows what they will actually call it
period.

And by that logic a game could be released with the working title "generi FPS 86 rainbow edition" but it is infact still the 4th game :|

 

[Reginald]

I forgot about Red Dead Redemption. :hmph:
