2012 Video Games

stubie1234 · 22nd January 2012, 21:08

Looking forward to GTA V

Donut · 22nd January 2012, 21:14

Not that much to be honest, still some decent titles though:

Diablo 3
Risen 2
Hitman
GTA 5

God of war 4?

mariachi-19 · 23rd January 2012, 00:26

Im sure some big games will come out in time but disappointing thus far. You'd have to think if you're rockstar, this would be the year to release gta 5 and dominate the market

I'll be getting Mass Effect 3. Anything else, I'll just have to see if I like the demos when they come out.

It has. Well, not the exact date.

Dingledoog · 23rd January 2012, 07:34

Dota 2

CassiusClaymore · 23rd January 2012, 09:29

Mass Effect 3
Trials
Bioshock

Nothing else immediately springs to mind.

Solius · 23rd January 2012, 09:45

I hate that there are so many sequels. We need more original games.

Agreed. It's a shame but I don't think developers dare take a risk with new IP when they can churn out Call of Duty 19 and FIFA 13 which they know will sell by the bucketload.

I'd like to see someone do something genuinely interesting with the FPS genre in particular. Case in point - Mirrors Edge. For all it's flaws (in fact it's main flaws were exposed when it tried to conform to the usual FPS tropes) I thought it was a cracking game that tried to do something different but unfortunately didn't sell as well as expected.

Annihilate Now! · 23rd January 2012, 10:02

Mass Effect 3
Max Payne 3
GTA V

Anything else is by-the-by.

As soon as a company does something new with the genre and it's a success, everyone else will just copy it. The cover system and no health bar in Gears of War being prime examples. Personally I miss the health bar.

Lance Uppercut · 23rd January 2012, 10:42

No one interested in the Syndicate remake?

Ish84045 · 23rd January 2012, 11:13

When's the new MGS being released?
Resident Evil 6
Last of Us

RedMist99 · 23rd January 2012, 12:53

Is anyone remotely looking forward to FFXIII-2?

I actually enjoyed the first one despite it not gaining positive reviews or indeed feeling like a Final Fantasy game. I don't harbour much hope for this but will probably pick it up eventually. Defo not at release though

RedSky At Night · 23rd January 2012, 12:54

Ryse
Last of Us (not sure if its released in 2012 though)

Vidic_In_Moscow · 23rd January 2012, 14:14

GTA V will hopefully be my game of the decade let alone the year! If Resident Evil 6 is similar enough to 5 then I'll love that too. This probably doesn't belong in the thread but I really hope they announce some kind of 'Need for Speed Undeground' sequal onto PS3

vanthaman · 23rd January 2012, 17:50

Criterion are set to announce a new game, either NFS or burnout, hope it's a new burnout, burnout paradise is probably my favourite racer from this gen

CassiusClaymore · 23rd January 2012, 19:16

Hold on a second. Isn't the new Xbox supposed to be out around Xmas 2012?

Vidic_In_Moscow · 23rd January 2012, 19:22

Aye Burnout Paradise was a fantastic game, wouldn't mind a new one of those either, but NFS Underground is just that bit better IMO.

A sequel of sorts to Hot Pursuit would be cool.

Badunk · 2nd February 2012, 22:53

New Video Games, The Best Video Games Coming Soon - Top Upcoming Games at IGN

Some interesting ones coming up for the xbox. Obviously, ME3 is the big one, but I could also be tempted by Kingdoms of Amalur: Reckoning, I Am Alive, Syndicate, Darkness 2, MGS Collection and the Silent Hill Collection (all subject to review scores and playing demos, of course). We'll also surely get Ninja Gaiden 3, Street Fighter vs Tekken and the Devil May Cry Collection at work.

Haven't even finished with Skyrim yet, ffs. Nor even opened Deus Ex.

Randall Flagg · 2nd February 2012, 23:07

I am picking up Soulcalibur 5 tomorrow.

Games I purchased last year that I have yet to play - Dark Souls, Crysis 2 and Saints Row 3.

Dan · 3rd February 2012, 16:56

Just got the Metal Gear Solid HD Collection.

This.

Paradise was amazing... and Burnout 3: Takedown is probably the greatest racing game ever in my humble opinion.

DomesticTadpole · 3rd February 2012, 17:06

Mass effect 3
Halo 4
Bioshock Infinite (although i have a horrible feeling it won't be anywhere near as good as the others)
Final Fantasy

Games Of 2012

I hope to god most of these are true

Badunk · 3rd February 2012, 17:57

Gonna get Soul Calibur 5 on Monday.

Very disappointed with the game. Story mode is awful and there are no character endings in arcade mode.

I will be trading it on Friday and going to try out the new UFC game

Badunk · 12th February 2012, 22:36

The lad at work bought it, so I have no stake in it. These fighting games are all much of a muchness, really. Good for a quick 20 minute sesh, but I wouldn't buy a full price one myself.
