Top 3 Upcoming Next Gen Games
With the 'current' generation coming to a close upon the release of the Wii and PS3, I thought it would be nice to post our top 3 most anticipated next generation games.:biggrin:
Mine: 1. Mass Effect - Bioware + Sci-Fi? Yeah, I'm in! 2. Grand Theft Auto IV - Given the sheer vastness of San Andreas, I can't wait to see what Rockstar has in store for us this time. 3. Lost Odyssey - Uematsu and Sakaguchi... This oughta be good, if not GREAT! Jam it back in, in the dark. |
TWILIGHT PRINCESS
I'll probably quit gaming then, knowing it peaked. The rest don't matter. There's nowhere I can't reach. |
There's only a few games I'm actually looking forward to in the next generation. All three are on the PS3, a system I didn't really have any intention of purchasing any time soon until I read that a sequel for Zone of the Enders is coming out.
That said, the only three I want are Devil May Cry 4, Zone of the Enders 3, and ...somewhat Metal Gear Solid 4. Believe it or not, I'm not pissing my pants over Kojima's latest. Not until I see more Vamp. Or Meryl. This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it. |
I've got no real interest in next-gen right now given there's still a good load of PS2 titles coming up and even more I've got on the backlog that'll keep me busy well into 2007.
That said any remote interest with titles that seem to be ways off lies with White Knight Story, MGS4 & Devil May Cry 4. I am a dolphin, do you want me on your body? |
Here are the top three I'm looking out for:
1. Twilight Princess 2. Super Mario Galaxy 3. Super Smash Bros Brawl Yes, I'm a huge Nintendo believer. There would be some games for the PS3 on here but ever since we all found out how much of a price difference there was going to be between the two, I was forced to choose between consoles. I've always had Nintendo and Playstation together but that won't be the case this year. T.T I was really looking forward to the PS3 but since I'm not getting it now the true Nintendo spirit in me has grown stronger. I was speaking idiomatically. |
I have a hard time picking games to look forward to without having played them simply because it's difficult to determine how whether or not I'll like the game simply from reading about it. For example I ended up loving Kingdom Under Fire: The Crusaders even though I had no idea if it would be appealing to me after being rather unimpressed with Dynasty Warriors, while I ended up absolutely hating Star Fox Assault even though I loved the first two games (or three, if the unreleased Star Fox 2 counts). But anyway, here's the games that I'm hoping will be good, at the very least.
Bioshock Honestly, if it's even half as good as System Shock 2, I'll be more than happy. The setting and gameplay look very interesting, so I'm definitely looking forward to giving it a try when it's out. Assassin's Creed Looks quite fun. Strange as it may sound, it feels like Hitman mixed with Sly Cooper set in a Prince of Persia world. It looks like the kind of game that gives you the freedom to play it how you want which many games strive for and ultimately fail at, and since it seems that they're actually taking advantage of the features the next gen consoles offer, it might actually end up accomplishing that. Ratchet and Clank Next Gen I got hooked on the series when I played the second one, and now I can't get enough of them. Nothing about the upcoming PS3 one is known, but I don't care, I'm sure I'll love it if it's as good as the others. Not to mention I really want to see what they can make with all that power in their hands, I'm sure they'll be staying up all night just coming up with crazy weapon ideas that they couldn't do before. Also, Dark Sector is a runner up from what it sounded like in the Game Informer preview. But I'm pretty skeptic of Game Informer previews since some end up being pretty off...*cough*RedSteel*cough*. Oh, and the next gen Star Wars game definitely should get mention since I'm extremely interested in seeing Euphoria and Digital Molecular Matter in a game, but since not really anything has been shown for it it's hard to make judgement on it yet. What kind of toxic man-thing is happening now? |
I'm just looking forward to something that isn't from Japan (read: PC), doesn't have a number in its title and is actually original.

Zone of the Enders 3, Trauma Center and Killer Instinct 3.
Of course if Killer Instinct 3 arrives, I'm sold. But I highly doubt Rare will make themselves useful after things like Kameo. What, you don't want my bikini-clad body? |
We all know Rare would completely ruin every single Killer Instinct character design. Every. Single. One.
Basically everything I've seen from this 'next gen' so far gets a gigantic roll eyes from me. So much so that my eyes would be boldly rolling away. But heeey! Excite Truck Because it's about bloody time the Rush style mindless, gigantic jumping, fun arcade racer made a return! With the exception of Burnout and a few of those terrible Hotwheels X-Treme Whatever racing games, the mindless arcade racer was lost for years in a slew of tedious racing games that realistically simulate boredom. Grand Theft Auto 4 Yeah I'm gay for GTA. I hope they go mental and make the game world so big you'll have to book flights in-game well in advance and board the plane before going to sleep, only to wake up the next morning and look over at the TV, still not there yet. That sentence was so broken in every possible way. Insert Something Else Here Maybe Motor Storm for the same reason as Excite Truck! Christ I'm trying to seriously think of something and it's depressing as hell. Maybe that new Monkey Ball game, oh and Alan Wake on 360 looks pretty fantastic. Most amazing jew boots |
What do you mean make themselves useful after Kameo though? I don't see how anything was wrong with Kameo, except for being part of the action/adventure genre (which I generally get bored with quickly). But I honestly can't say I got bored with Kameo any more than I did other games in the genre. There's nowhere I can't reach. |
Rare went from 64-bit to 2-bit, in case you're still playing GoldenEye religiously.
This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.

White Knight Story
This game is my sole justification for buying a PS3. The graphics are amazing, the gameplay looks solid, and hell, it's Level 5. That automatically makes it an incredible game. Zone of the Enders 3 So the series has two games behind it now. The first was allright with some wonky controls and camera issues. The second one was infinitely better if not for some awkward dialogue at times. This is Kojima's big opportunity to perfect this series and give it the grand entrance into next-gen it deserves. Final Fantasy XIII I'm entirely skipping over XII. I don't even remotely wanna play it at this point, but I'm far too excited about XIII. The footage that's been shown looks incredible. My tone might change once more information/screenshots/gameplay comes out, but for now I'm greatly anticipating its arrival. Some honorable mentions include Too Human for the XB360, Metal Gear Solid 4 for the PS3, Warhawk and Genji: Day of the Blade. I am a dolphin, do you want me on your body? Reading -- Bleach, Claymore, Chun Rhang Yhur Jhun, NOW, Zero: Beginning of the Coffin, Black God, Twelve Kingdoms (novels), History's Strongest Disciple Kenichi Watching -- Bleach Playing -- Fable II, Valkyria Chronicles, Guitar Hero: World Tour, Star Ocean: First Departure, LittleBigPlanet, MegaMan 9, Mirror's Edge |

Bioshock is the title I'm most looking forward to, and it will be on PC so no need for me to shell out a ridiculous $400-$600 just to play it. :ninja:
Twilight Princess - I'm interested in this game, but looking back the last Zelda game on GC wouldn't even be in my top 25. It was a fun game and unique, but I've played many others that I enjoyed more and that had more impact on me. FELIPE NO

Metal Gear Solid: Guns of the Patriots
Snake, the ultimate tactical espionage protagonist, returns with yet another mission of righting the world's wrongs and taking out Metal Gear. Bioshock Ayn Rand influenced madness? Giant androids with drill arms that cut through your freakin hand? Wicked. Crysis Crytek made an amazing game called Farcry back in the day that pushed the FPS envelope farther than ever on the PC. Granted, it was later trumped by F.E.A.R. and Half-Life 2, it still holds up. Other stuff to anticipate: Resident Evil 5 Assassin's Creed Mass Effect What, you don't want my bikini-clad body? |
- White Knight Story
- Motorstorm - Smash Bros. Brawl A little something out of each pile I'd put Twilight Princess down, but it's not a next gen game in my eyes. A really awesome game, yes, but it's a Gamecube title with a few extras on el Wii. Jam it back in, in the dark. |
1. Twilight Princess
Yeah, what can i say. My love for Resident Evil is surpassed only by my love for console Zelda games. It's deffinetly going to be my first Wii title. 2. Resident Evil 5 Yeah, i'm thinking it's gonna be a while before i get my hands on this. I plan on getting a PS3 in 2008, maybe. I'm a firm believer that RE5 will show up on Wii after a while, so i'm tempted not to buy it until near the end of this generation's lifespan. 3. Devil May Cry 4 This is sort of only on my top 3 list cause nothing else has grabbed my attention as much. Me getting this game ultimatly depends on how much DMC 3 grabs me. So far number 1 is great, and i'm loving it, but i first tried 3 a while ago, and i thought it sucked something terrible. We'll see how this goes. Honourable Mentions: Mario Galaxy, Super Smash Bros. Brawl, Excite Truck, Metroid Prime 3, Dragon Quest: Swords. There's nowhere I can't reach. |
Anyway: 1. Mass Effect - Looks like the hottest game, for any system, ever. Honestly, I am stunned by how good this game looks, and I know from Bioware's track record that the game will be nothing short of amazing! It cannot come faster. 2. LoZ: Twilight Princess - If I decide to buy a Wii this year, despite it's lack of black, this will be the reason. Metroid is a factor too, but this is the real cream of the crop. 3. Bioshock - Do I really need a reason? Honestly? This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it. |

Twilight Princess - This game looks nothing short of incredible. Once my most anticipated game for Gamecube.
Metroid Prime 3 - Because I really want to see how the Wii works, properly. And because I've loved every Metroid game I've played. Super Mario Galaxy - Aside from Zelda, my most anticipated game. Some games just make you feel like a kid again, and this game looks capable of doing that. All of them are Wii, because I have no interest in Xbox360 and no money for a PS3. I am a dolphin, do you want me on your body? |
As far as I'm concerned, Wii is the only next gen system. I was speaking idiomatically. |
I have had a 360 since launch and still feel like I have yet to play a next gen title. The only game that I would even entertain the thought of calling next gen would be Call of Duty 2 which not only was a port from the PC but a launch title. If that doesn't give you the idea of how dry the next-gen scene has been then I can try to make it a little simpler. It doesn't exist, not till november at least. Here's my current list: -Gears of War -Twilight Princess -Crackdown? Forza 2? if only they weren't pushed back to February What kind of toxic man-thing is happening now? |
Zelda TP is a GameCube game that was finished two years ago and only exists on Wii for marketing reasons.
My top 3 are 1) Super Monkey Ball 2) Red Steel 3) Rayman Super Mario Galaxy will be the best but it's too far away so i'm not as excited about it. FELIPE NO |
Crackdown lol.
Next gen guys. can you believe we're almost there? What, you don't want my bikini-clad body? |
Jam it back in, in the dark. |
