A couple games in my opinion that are anticipater for no reason are: Alan Wake, Alien vs. Predator, Wet, and Beyonnetta. How about you guys?

Yeah....Bayonetta.... The brain child of the lead designer behind Resident Evil 2, Devil May Cry, Viewtiful Joe, and Okami. It's got a fraction of the anticipation it deserves. I personally would say the most over anticipated game at the moment is God Of War 3. It's doesn't look to change any of the formula from the first two games in the series.

MAG is overhyped. I don't see how will it add anything new apart from 256 players.

Well you could say the same about Bayonetta now couldn't you since its like DMC reborn. And I don't see much anticipation for WET or AvP, Alan Wake actually looks pretty good.

For one thing, it's becoming god awfully stale. Enjoy if you are so inclined, god knows there's 1500 Dynasty Warriors games for a reason. People don't care a about progression or creativity in the genre...

*rolls eyes* thats the only thing it will add! But thats a pretty big one thing! You should be excited that the largest console FPS of all time is comming to the PS3 with such numbers of players that almost qualifies it as an MMO.

I am with you on Alpha Protocol looking like crap!!! The premise is interesting...some mechanics are intriguing...but the GAMEPLAY>>>CRAP!!! I have seen several gameplay demos and they all are underwhelming. This from a game that is due out SOON!!!

It's not like your going to see 256 enemies at once though it it? You shall get split into squads so you will only probably see 10 - 20 enemies at once anyway.

Anyway, it could turn out to be the best FPS of all time, but from what I know already, it won't.

I would say the similarity between Sytstem Shock and Bioshock isn't even applicable compared to Bayonetta and Devil May Cry. Especially since the latter two both come from the same person.

More people are anticipating God of War 3 because it's the final game in the trilogy...thus wrapping up the story. A game doesn't need to reinvent the genre to be anticipated.

It probably won't make a differences in gameplay, but that fact that you might have some large battles, you will know you aren't being singled out by the enemy troops, because they will be to busy shooting at 123 enemy around them :)

As do Bioshock and System Shock 2. :lol: [QUOTE="Rippou"] More people are anticipating God of War 3 because it's the final game in the trilogy...thus wrapping up the story. A game doesn't need to reinvent the genre to be anticipated.

Would there be something wrong with them evolving the gameplay a tad? Just because it's a continuation of a series doesn't mean that it can't break any ground...

Wet, Bayonnetta, Heavy Rain, Beatles Rock Band, Guitar Hero Van Halen, MAG, and Guitar Hero 5. IMO

Wet & Heavy Rain - don't look too fun and worth $60

Bayonnetta - looks extremly nerdy

Beatles Rock Band - I love the band to death but playing a whole setlist of only Beatles songs will get boring FAST.

Guitar Hero: Van Halen - will fail like Aerosmith, Metallica, and SmaS HITs

MAG - all it takes is like 4 people out of 200 to ruin everything, it also looks never ending (might me good thing though) [but I will most likely get for Christmas]
