April 25, 200916 yr Diablo 3 - Only because of Boyarski. I used to love Blizzard's graphical style in the old SC and Diablo games, but then WC3 and WoW came out and ruined that reputation.Starcraft 2 - Does not look as good at all as it's predecessor, but I think that regardless of a lacking visual style, it will be a good, balanced, fun online RTS. Hearts of Iron 3 - The sequel to the best WW2 RTS game ever. No additional comments needed. Alpha Protocol - Duh. Fallout: New Vegas - I thought the Fallout franchise would be lost forever to Bethesda and MMORPG silliness, but apparently not. Demigod - The next generation in online RTS games? Zeno Clash came out a few days ago (and was utterly awesome), so it doesn't count as a game I'm looking forward to anymore. Also, I am secretly looking forward to the Sims 3. Dragon Age has me intrigued, but I've really found it hard playing Bioware games after I was massively disappointed with NWN. Umm, Demigod has been out for a while now...
April 25, 200916 yr Games that I am looking forward to about which we already know a substantial amount: Diablo III Dragon Age Starcraft II Games that have potential to interest me, but about which we know next to nothing other than their existence in development: Fallout: Vegas Games that are merely rumored, but have good potential to interest me if they do come out: Heroes of Might and Magic VI Warcraft IV NWN2: NX3 Games that are not even rumored, but that would almost inevitably interest me if they came out: KOTOR III Pathfinder CRPG Civilization IV

April 25, 200916 yr There are strong indications Thief 3 will be announced soon, also Syberia 3 is being worked on, also Beyond Good and Evil 2. "Moral indignation is a standard strategy for endowing the idiot with dignity." Marshall McLuhan
April 25, 200916 yr There are strong indications Thief 3 will be announced soon... Four, not three... "Geez. It's like we lost some sort of bet and ended up saddled with a bunch of terrible new posters on this forum." -Hurlshot
April 25, 200916 yr There are demos out for Still Life 2 and Secret Files 2. This might turn out to be a good year for adventuring. Still Life 2 sure lives up to its name, it has some of the worst voice acting I have ever heard and the game isn't all that great either... Diablo 3 - Only because of Boyarski.

April 25, 200916 yr Thief 4 and Syberia 3. Those might prove to be interesting games! I hope they do Thief in a modern setting, just like what they were working on before Ion Storm shut down. "Well, overkill is my middle name. And my last name. And all of my other names as well!"
April 25, 200916 yr You're also missing Sherlock Holmes vs. Jack the Ripper The new Runaway game Secret Files 2: Puritas Cordis Culpa Innata 2 Yormujak's Ring (can only at this time be downloaded from the adventure shop) in the adventure game department. Then there's a little add-on to NWN2 known as Mysteries of Westgate (made by Ossian Studios) And then there is Bioshock 2 Assasins Creed 2 and probably some other games I have forgotten Please support http://www.maternityworldwide.org/ - and save a mother giving birth to a child.

Yeah, they've also heavily hinted that Deus Ex 3 will be godawful so again, don't hold your breath over it.
April 26, 200916 yr Well I was interested in both DX3 and a possible Thief 4, but now that a stranger on the internet has whined about it I've totally lost interest.
April 26, 200916 yr Well I was interested in both DX3 and a possible Thief 4, but now that a stranger on the internet has whined about it I've totally lost interest. You're Dr. Manhattan! Just look into the future and figure it out you git! Victor of the 5 year fan fic competition! Kevin Butler will awesome your face off.
April 26, 200916 yr Dragon Age Alpha Protocol Fallout: New Vagas Diablo III Starcraft II and maybe TES V if they don't **** it up like Oblivion. A combination of elements from Daggerfall/Morrowind would the best route imo. Edited April 26, 200916 yr by Syraxis
April 26, 200916 yr Author Well I was interested in both DX3 and a possible Thief 4, but now that a stranger on the internet has whined about it I've totally lost interest. You sound like my friend when I told him they were butchering DX2. Still, it's a bit different now since I'm hoping for a better game than DX2 (easy to do), not a game as good as DX1 (hard to do), so I'll still buy I'd say.
April 27, 200916 yr DX3 probably won't be as good as IW (most likely a shooter with some RPG leveling) but it might get a better reception since people are now conditioned not to expect the original. "Moral indignation is a standard strategy for endowing the idiot with dignity." Marshall McLuhan
April 27, 200916 yr DX3 probably won't be as good as IW (most likely a shooter with some RPG leveling) but it might get a better reception since people are now conditioned not to expect the original. I will be very sad if they can't at least beat IW's sheer level of not-so-awesomeness Victor of the 5 year fan fic competition! Kevin Butler will awesome your face off.

Does not compute! What would you expect them to do better? I don't really have any hopes for DX3, but there is still a chance that the story/characters/setting will be good. Edited April 27, 200916 yr by Purkake
April 27, 200916 yr What would you expect them to do better? Anything and everything. That's not an answer at all. I don't see what was wrong with IW's story, characters and setting. "Moral indignation is a standard strategy for endowing the idiot with dignity." Marshall McLuhan
