Being a huge fan of id software Rage was already a must buy for me... so it doesn't take much extra hype to get me even more interested. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Morgoth Posted May 5, 2010 Share Posted May 5, 2010 I always appreciated id's distinct art style. They also have a habit of shipping bugfree and polished games. Rain makes everything better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hype aside though, you can still decide if that game is for you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WorstUsernameEver Posted May 6, 2010 Share Posted May 6, 2010 Sounds like a normal shooter to me. Very polished and with awesome graphics (though we still have to see if they're optimized decently). The setting doesn't seem particularly impressive, it lacks personality from what I've seen, but if the shooter gameplay is fun enough I may even think of buying it.

Nepenthe Posted May 6, 2010 Share Posted May 6, 2010 AP, DX 3, hopefully something fun for ME 2. Fallout: NV is on my "watch, probably purchase day 1 based on developer pedigree" list, not so much on the "zomg I'm so excited I can barely sleep" list like the other 3. The list(s) has/have never been this short. I still can't figure out why everybody announces everything at E3. It just means it gets lost in the flood. You're a cheery wee bugger, Nep. Have I ever said that? Reapercussions Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Malcador Posted May 6, 2010 Share Posted May 6, 2010 Someone's looking forward to DX3 ? Huh. Anyway, looking forward to AP, FO:NV, Civ 5, maybe Starcraft II, and the Witcher 2 (that's quite a ways off though). More games I'm anticipating this year than any year recently, interestingly. Why has elegance found so little following? Elegance has the disadvantage that hard work is needed to achieve it and a good education to appreciate it. - Edsger Wybe Dijkstra Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Calax Posted May 6, 2010 Share Posted May 6, 2010 They announced FEAR3. A completely co-op shooter from a different group than did the first two. It looks interesting but I'm not sure if they're trying to grab the moon and just setting themselves up to fail. Victor of the 5 year fan fic competition! Kevin Butler will awesome your face off.

It frees them up to work on other stuff. Ya know, maybe like NOLF3. As for FEAR3, I'll wait and see, but knowing Day1's trackrecord of making crappy games, I won't hold my breath.

Look forward to seeing what they do with it. Considering all I've seen so far are non-engine trailers, I won't commit just yet. But unless it looks a total smoldering pile that makes DX2 seem almost as good as the first one, I'll pick it up day 1. You're a cheery wee bugger, Nep. Have I ever said that?

fastpunk Posted May 6, 2010 Share Posted May 6, 2010 Well, let's see. There's the two Obsidian games coming out this year, I'm obviously looking forward to those. Not too sure about FO:NV, since I didn't like FO3. But it's Obsidian, so we'll see. The Witcher 2 is also on my list, whenever it lands. Then there's Need for Speed World Online, which is going to be a free racing MMO, or something like that... don't mind a little competitive racing. And finally, that new isometric action/adventure game by CrystalD, Lara Croft and the Guardian of Light. I'm very curious how that little experiment is going to end up. That's about it really.

HoonDing Posted May 6, 2010 Share Posted May 6, 2010 I've been getting pretty hyped about Gray Matter. It's the first big Jane Jensen game after GK3, and from what I've seen & read it reminds me a lot of The longest journey, with a setting combining magic in a high-tech future Earth. The main character (female, of course) seems pretty interesting as well. Maybe it will be the next big adventure game that revitalizes the genre and puts it back on the radar after years of mediocrity. Hopefully it is released this year. For the rest, I'm looking forward to Drakensang's Phileasson's expansion. Supposedly it's only 10 hours long, but one will be able to import the party from River of Time & visit a legendary location in DSA lore, similar to D&D's Myth Drannor.

In theory it should be easy since they now have a pre-existing model for what to do right and another pre-existing model for what to do wrong.

GreasyDogMeat Posted May 7, 2010 Share Posted May 7, 2010 More Red Dead stuff to drool over. New trailer. Not one of the 'informative documentary' type trailers, but still cool. http://www.gametrailers.com/video/exclusiv...-red-dead/65299 Announcement of first DLC, coop missions which best of all, will be free. http://www.gametrailers.com/news/red-dead-...tion-first/2039 An IGN article on Red Dead. http://ps3.ign.com/articles/108/1088375p1.html Favorite parts of the article: "I started out small. A few drinks at the saloon and a bar fight later, I stumbled out into the night looking for some easy money. I ran into an old crazy lady begging me to help her find a man named Peter, but that seemed like too much work so I shot her and moved on. And just like that, my honor meter went down by five points. It would take a few dozen more bullets to innocents to gain some real notoriety, but if there is one thing that Red Dead Redemption has it is a lot of innocents to toy with." "Take, for instance, the sorts of things you can do with a lasso. You gain this little tool during a mission that teaches you the ins and outs of breaking a wild horse, but you can aim the rope ring at people, too. I went to the saloon and found a prostitute, hog-tied her and then slung her over my shoulder to take for a ride. She didn't take too kindly to this treatment, screaming out obscenities like, "There are other ways to a girl's heart, you ass!" along the way. I responded by leaving her on a train track." "The most fun comes thanks to the epic animations Red Dead Redemption produces. Shooting or knifing people and animals invariably results in hilarity. During my travels I did everything from uppercutting a cow with a bowie knife to killing so many lawmen as they entered a saloon that they were stumbling over their predecessor's body pile. You don't even have to kill anybody to have some fun. Just drawing your gun on an innocent walking down the road will startle them into a funny reaction. My favorite was a man sitting with his legs up on a table. When I trained my sights on him he fell over backwards into a piano." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HoonDing Posted May 8, 2010 Share Posted May 8, 2010 There's a remake of Darkstar One in the works. How did the original play? It's a very repetitive game. There are hundreds of star systems, but each one has the same fetch, combat & transport missions you need to do to upgrade your ship. Main story is very predictable too, and the characters + voice acting pretty bland. I'd call it 'Oblivion in space'. Good to rent for a weekend and play it through once.

Raithe Posted May 19, 2010 Share Posted May 19, 2010 I was looking forward to Tron Evolution... (yes, that geek inside has fond memories of both the film, and the Tron 2.0 game)... but Dang it all. It's only being released on xbox360 and the ps3. A Tron game.. and it's not going to be released on the PC.. oy vey... "Cuius testiculos habeas, habeas cardia et cerebellum."
