February - March feel like Oct -Nov game releases; its crazy!

There's plenty of good to great games coming out the next two months, plenty of sequel but they're highly anticipated for sure.

Feb 5th- Dead Space 3 Feb 12th- Aliens Colonial Marines Feb 19th - Metal Gear Rising, Crysis 3 Feb 26th - Rayman Legends

March 5th- MLB 2k13, Tomb Raider, Naruto UNS3, South Park March 12- God of War Ascencion March 19th- Gears of War Judgement, Monster Hunter 3 Ultimate (Wii U), The Walking Dead Survival Instict

March 26th- Bioshock Infinite, Army of Two the Devil's Cartel

March 31st Metro Last Light, Company of Heroes 2

That's pretty crazy list, I'm picking up Metal Gear Rising, Tomb Raider & Bioshock Infinite on day one; I'm trying to not buy all games at once as my new year's resolution :P

Your list? :P

I'm gonna sound totally weird here- I want almost none of those listed. I guess Bioshock Infinite, but I doubt I'd be buying day one- I really don't do that anymore. DS3 and Crysis 3, ehh... I loved DS1 but I'm not really cool with the direction in which it's going. My interest in Tomb Raider plummeted after I learned of the multiplayer. I'd definitely pick up Rayman Legends if I had a Wii U (Origins was amazing), but that's not enough to get me to spend that much money right now.

Yeah, there's a killer list of games coming out really soon.

I'll definitely get Bioshock day 1, and likely Metal Gear Rising. Just too much of a fan to skip it, even if it's not the action masterpiece we're all hoping for (which is still may be).

God Of War, yes. As long as the campaign is good. The multiplayer is absolute trash and a waste of time. I want Dead Space 3 because I loved the first 2 games, but I'm really weary of the co-op. EA sure knows how to f*ck up good games. Metro looks great (no multiplayer, hurray!), and Tomb Raider looks really promising too.

I also want The Last Of Us. Another game I wish didn't have multiplayer, but I have faith in Naughty Dog.

I want Bioshock Infinite for sure... other than that not too interested in anything besides Metro: Last Light, but I'm pretty sure that the March 31st is just a placeholder date made by retailers? I'm almost positive no release date has been confirmed yet, especially since it was just bought the other day at the THQ auction.

Not buying a single game. Am interested in Tomb Raider the most and want to play the PC version so i might end up buying that.

Crysis 3 is coming out way too soon. Same with Dead Space 3. I feel like I played these games last year.

Bioshock looks pretty awful. The original reveal showed so much promise... I just knew they wouldn;t be able to deliver an experience like that. Will wait for the unevitable $5 sale on Steam.

God of War will be a rental. Same with MGR. If redbox has them. Otherwise I will skip MGR and buy God of War and trade it in after finishing it. Not going to touch the MP. Already had enough of it in the beta.

Isnt Grand Theft Auto also coming out in March? That game better come out on PC.

• Dead Space 3
• Metal Gear Rising
• Crysis 3
• Tomb Raider
• God of War Ascension
• Gears of War Judgement
• Bioshock Infinite

Still interested in Aliens mostly. But not so sure I'll get it at launch.

The only games i'm interested in is metro last night and tomb raider.

Aliens and possibly Gears Judgment.

Only really want three from that list.

Thats bad.

I was preordering some games today and I have to say, I just am not feeling that excited for anything coming out now, maybe other than GTA V. I don't think it's the games themselves, but just knowing that new consoles are coming, probably this year, already has me thinking more about next gen. It feels somewhat different playing my 360 now... I feel like I'm playing just to pass the time while the clock is counting down until this next generation finally rolls around.

I doubt I'll end up buying any of these games. My first thought when looking at this list was "SO MANY SEQUELS!"

I wish that they'd stop making Alien games where you play as a boring space marine. Nobody cares about that. It's playing as the Alien that's fun (case in point: AVP2). Scratch that. I wish that they'd stop making games where you play as a boring space marine, period.

Company of Heroes 2 is the only game I'll buy from that list, but only when it's discounted. Pretty boring list, actually.

Yeah there's a lot of awesome games coming out in that period, with GTA V and The Last of Us only a couple of months after that.

Between February and March I'll be getting:

• Dead Space 3
• God of War: Ascension
• Bioshock: Infinite
• Metro: Last Light
• Crysis 3
• Aliens: Colonial Marines
• Gears of War: Judgment

and maybe for:

- Tomb Raider

- Alien: Colonial Marines

- Army of Two: The Devils Cartel

Fire Emblem: Awakening

Sly Cooper: Thieves in Time

Rayman Legends

Bioshock Infinite

I'm sick of the Gods and Gears of War already.

Right now, Ken's Rage 2 and then Gears Of War Judgment is on my radar. I've thought about getting Aliens: CM at one point, but decided against it.

I am unsure about the later releases, but I need to know more about the new consoles before I decide on buying them, specifically if it will have BC or not. I'm not going to start over and lose all the games and 360 that I've earned over the years.

I doubt I'll end up buying any of these games. My first thought when looking at this list was "SO MANY SEQUELS!"

Yeah I'm highly interested in:

-Metal Gear Rising (ps3)

-Bioshock Infinite (ps3)

-Sly Cooper (vita)

-Soul Sacrifice (vita)

-Fire Emblem (3ds)

-Starcraft 2: Heart of the Swarm (pc)

-Sim City (pc)

Why the f*** does everyone and their mother seem to think Bioshock: Infinite is going to be f***ing Shovelware? It's profoundly annoying. How many of you have played the game? Oh, that's right, NONE OF YOU. If we can't be excited for a new Ken Levine game, we may as well throw away all our systems (except Retro gaming, because you know, games today are so ass) and condemn the future of gaming. Bunch of cynical bullsh!t in this thread, it's honestly sickening.

The game has been in development hell. Several leads have left in the of development. It's been delayed several times. They've announced two different multiplayer modes then cancelled them both. Apparently they showed the game too soon when it was still just a design demo and have been struggling to develop a game around it. Previews have been ho-hum on the game since then and it looked rather dated in the Spike VGA awards. Usually when a game has been in development hell, we tend to get sh*tty or disappointing products in the end. It's not being cynical, it's just learning from experience.

It's not going to be as bad as shovelware, but from what we've heard and seen so far, it's just not looking good.

I'm really looking forward to Dead Space 3, loved the first two games and I'm looking forward to the co-op mode. I'll also probably get Crysis 3 because I loved the second game. Plus when you pre-order it you get a download of the first game which is cool. If I had a PS3, I would definitely get God of War.

From Levine: ""I wont kid you: Bioshock Infinite is a very big game, and were doing things that no one has ever done in a first-person shooter," Levine wrote. "We had a similar experience with the original Bioshock, which was delayed several months as our original ship date drew near. Why? Because the Big Daddies werent the Big Daddies youve since come to know and love. Because Andrew Ryans golf club didnt have exactly the right swing. Because Rapture needed one more coat of grimy Art Deco. The same principle now applies to Bioshock Infinite." Source: Gamasutra

And I wouldn't say "Development Hell", f**ing Too Human was in development hell... The Last Guardian is in development hell. Bioshock Infinite got delayed a few months. Big difference. Also, believe it or not, all of the original Bioshock staff is still intact.

The staffers who left did so after the core of the game were finished.

Again, Levine --

"In a company of 200 people you're going to have turnover," Levine tells Kotaku. "We never like to see a guy like Nate leave because he's been here for a long time, but it's been 13 years and I think sometimes people want to spread their wings. I'm not going to stop people. We love Nate and I think we all remain friends. After 13 years he sort of finished his work onBioShock Infinite, as you will be able to tell when you see the game again... I think Nate's moving on to something else."

Replacing Wells is Scott Sinclair, the art director for the first BioShock. This rounds out the core Bioshockteam that has stuck with the franchise which is an achievement all on its own, Levine says:

"As far as the team itself, the lead artist, the art director, the creative director, the lead effects artist, the senior sound guy, the lead programer and the lead AI programmer fromBioShock 1are all onBioShock Infinite. I don't think there's a single senior BioShock team member that isn't here, which I think is amazing and a testament to their commitment to the studio."

I just don't think there's a great deal to worry about. Bioshock is considered by many to be one of the very greatest games ever made, and that team is still present.

How can you look at this trailer and think "Oh my god, this is going to suck?" Seems pretty whiney to me (not directed at you, just the attitude toward the game). I think it's just our nature as gamers to expect the worst, which is f***king sad.

Ok. That interview with Kevin Levine does restore my faith a bit. Looks like the departures of these folks was blown out of proportion by Kotaku...

The trailer also looks pretty cool.

P.S Regarding this:"I think it's just our nature as gamers to expect the worst, which is f***king sad." I dont think that's true at all. I see a lot of optimism any time a new game or sequel is revealed. I see a lot of optimism for next gen consoles with the sole exception being Pedro. :lol: I notice you have a habit of downright insulting gamers as whiners and whatnot, and I dont think that's fair at all. The worst kind of whiners I've seen are sports fans who whine about every single move the manager or a head coach makes if the team loses the game. Movie buffs are awful at writing off movies for minor reasons. EVERYONE is like this. And it's not whining if you see a disappointing preview of the game and call it disappointing. These forums would be a terrible place if everyone just said OMG THIS IS AWESOME! BEST GAME EVAR! Hell, your blogs have had more whining than anything I've seen on these boards. Doesn't mean it's not a valid rant/complaint.

Respectfully disagree. You always seem to jump to the defense of gamers on this subject, and I don't see why. I love movies and sports (I tended bar at a sports establishment for many years), and in my lifetime I've never encountered that kind of behavior in those other fan bases.

And my blog is my blog. It's for venting and trivial complaining if I deem it so, and it's not a public forum viewed by tens of thousands. So, no.
