What are you most looking forward to next year in the gaming world?


Mine can be summed up by two names:

Mass Effect 3
Wii-U

Here's a Wiki of all the games that are due, or meant to be due, next year.

Animal Crossing and Prey 2 and BioShock Infinite.

Urgh I still have to catch up with games from 2011, I'm actually glad Wii U aside there aren't that many important announcements yet.

So yeah Wii U definitely for me.

[mikes]

Yeah, the next game I want to buy is Resident Evil: Revelations and that isn't until the very end of January... So I have a month to finish things But to be honest, I may not get it at launch... Too many games to finish.

[Tiuri]

I also have lots to catch up with, but I do look forward to Sorcery, which is not included on that wiki page. The trailer looked amazing but it's already been postponed a few times, I think.

I'm a bit dissapointed that there are no titles I'm looking forward to, in comparison to 2011 where there were so many games that I was eager to buy. Lets hope a few more titles get announced!

[Jonnycondom]

Oh hey Charmed, nice to see you using a picture of me as your avatar

Luigis Mansion 2

Nuff said.

[CHAM]

Skyrim DLC... can't wait to see what they do!


Tekken Tag Tournament 2, it should be released sometime in 2012, hopefully.
The new Tomb Raider looks interesting. And maybe Bioshock Infinite.

Omg:

Tomb Raider
Hitman: Absolution

and maybe

Mass Effect 3 if I enjoy ME2

[memmett]

I love the Olympics games that come out, even though the Beijing one was a little disappointing, I'm hoping the London one will be better, so am looking forward to that.

Tekken Tag 2 will be cool, and I am Alive sounds like it could be fun.

I keep on saying it, but I really want to expand my gaming horizons. After I graduate and am inevitably unemployed, I figure this will be the perfect time to do this.

Syndicate
Mass Effect 3
Aliens: Colonial Marines
Far Cry 3
Binary Domain

EDIT: I forgot to add Borderlands 2

Mass effect 3 is the game i'm most looking forward to. I might even go crazy and buy it the day it's released, instead of being a tight arse and waiting for it to be reduced.

Isnt Final fantasy 13-2 released sometime soon? I'm going to give that a look. I don't want to give up on the final fantasy series but if this game isn't an improvement on FF13 then who knows.

The last guardian is another i'm interested in...though i have a strange feeling im going to be disappointed with it.

[Astron]

I can't get excited one bit anymore about FF.
Maybe with XV when they create a whole new (better) world.

[mikes]

Final Fantasy seems to be dying a slow death. It's incredibly sad.

[Jonnycondom]

I've never been able to get into that series anyway, so it's no love lost on me.

[Enigmatic Paragon]

Stuff I'm looking forward to in 2012:

Mass Effect 3 - yay!

Syndicate - I played the original, back in the day! Not too sure how the switch to FPS will go though. Have to see how the reviews turn out.

Diablo 3 (I assume it will be sometime this year... maybe) - looks awesome!

Starcraft 2: HoTS (Also assume it will be sometime this year) - was always a starcraft fan. Also I'm waiting to find out if Kerrigan is still the Queen B. of the universe, or is now just a vengeance obsessed crazy superwoman.


Edit: Re FF Series - I think it was one of the defining RPG games of my generation, and it represented a style of play which I don't think exists outside of Japanese games. I still remember the key moments of FF8... awesome storyline... but I havn't played anything from FFX onward (no PS3). It'd be sad if there weren't quality successors to carry on.

I think one of the reasons why the final fantasy series has gone down hill is because of the amount of final fantasy games that are getting released.
Isn't final fantasy Versus out this year as well? Arn't they also re releasing FF14 again, seeing as the other was such a failure.

I remember when one final fantasy game would come out every 3 or 4 years. Now we are constantly getting all these spin offs. The makers should just concentrate on one game.


Oh and i'm also looking forward to far cry 3

I thought FF XIII Versus had been killed. Has there even been any news for the last two years?

[Astron]

I agree with that but also the change of style which started in 12 and continued/worsened in 13. It's just not the same anymore.
I refuse to believe the classic RPG genre is dead though.
It's just sleeping.

I thought FF XIII Versus had been killed. Has there even been any news for the last two years?

On September 11, 2011, it was announced that Final Fantasy Versus XIII had entered full production. During a weekend’s fan Q&A session, Yoshinori Kitase said: “Type-0 and Versus XIII have of course advanced to 100% development power

But i got that from good old Wikipedia, so i'm unsure with how reliable it is.

[Astron]

They changed the names from some games too so maybe that's it.
I don't have the overview anymore either, there're too many games in the pipeline at SquareEnix.
FFX is getting a remake now as well, apparently a full one not just HD paint.
