DC Universe Online.

I'm a comic freak and a huge DC fan but I think this game is going to be bad. I also know it's going to sell bad because of the $15 monthly fee...

Crysis 2 seems very likely

Some other guesses: Twisted Metal, Zelda, MGS Rising, Star Wars: ToR, DMC, Duke Nukem

Too many crysis 2 flops. So pc gamers i understand the reasoning behind it. But console gamers, why you think it will flop? I mean the way i see it, its the next "killzone 2" if you know what i mean.

Killzone 2.5

halo reach is halo 3.2

Nah, Halo Reach is 9.5.

:lol:. Halo Reach and KZ2 both have a 91 Metacritic, so your logic fails there

LG has had barely any info as far as I know. I don't see where the hype is coming from. It could be a masterpiece or a flop.

Track record i believe. But the odd thing is that it´s track record only leads to AA games (great ones i have to admit)!

It has pedigree. But while it's predecessors are widely acclaimed, with 90 metascores, and are among the closest things towards games as art - they both only scored AA here.

So the hype is based on the devs track record? Not a good idea to get hyped off that alone :P

Not only that. Track record, a few pics and the fact it´s a PS3 exclusive. Those are the main factors a game need to be hyped AAAA :P

I expect it will score around 8.5 here. While the millionth CoD and Rockband games will get their 9s.

In the grand scheme of things it matters naught.

It's still my most anticipated game of 2011 and I'm comfortable trusting in Fumito Ueda and Team ICO to deliver a beautiful, different and poignant game, for now at least.

I can see why you're excited. It's just that many are claiming GOTY 2011 without much to go on. I'm hyped for the next Forza, but until I know much about it, I can't really say Racing game of this gen, GOTY, etc :P LG does look interesting though. I might end up getting as hyped as the rest of you hehe.

Facepalm @ anyone who say Crysis 2.SNIPER4321
Why is that exactly? I loved the original game and Warhead, and I still think it has one of the best chances of flopping. Crytek has yet to show any gameplay footage that reassures its progressive sandbox style of play.

Crysis 2, the move to consoles is a bad move IMO. Let the consoles have Halo for 360, Killzone for PS3, and let Crysis stay on PC.

It sucks. Crysis 2 would look and play amazingly on the PC.

They have. You just haven't been paying attention.

Real-time weapon customization + real-time Nanosuit customization - check

Items around the environment that can be used as weapons - check

Multiple playstyles - check

Increased maneuverability through the environments - check

^A section from the game, looks pretty similar to any Korean village section from the original Crysis.

I say either Killzone 3 or Resistance 3. One of those two might flop or even, the two.

It's more so of a concern on whether or not it'll keep its formula to the same extent as the original. I know a decent amount of elements from the original will be in Crysis 2, but the way it's all coming together I'm having trouble believing it'll be as fulfilling or satisfying.

FF13vs by miles, FF12 was mediocre, FF13 was th worst game i have playd in my life, FF14 was even worst (thank god i dont play MMOs)

So, FF13vs (which is 100% same for FF13 from the new videos and as bland and barren), is the most likely to flop like no game has flopped before

Z3lda: SS anything less than AAAA on SW's and it will be called a flop. My other guesse is Tekken Vs Street Fighter.

Even though Crysis looks good, I still think most console gamers don't even know what it is. Outside of this site, I don't know anybody that knows about the game.

I disagree with your statement about Zelda: SS. If anything, after what has been showed, the hype for the game has DIED down almost completely. I think it has lowered the standard for what people are expecting. Personally I have a feeling it will be one of the best 3D zeldas.

I have a feeling Duke Nukem Forever's gonna flop, which will be ironic. Killzone 3 will be average, Deus Ex 3 will either flop or be GotY amazing, and, although it'll be a good game, Crysis 2 won't sell that well, wait for unanimous calls of 'what? there was a crysis 1?' from quite a few of the console gamers.

Considering they Crytek felt that Warhead was had too much of a fast tempo, and pushed the player foward too much, I'd expect it to be more like the original than Warhead.

That is one of the few games I have no concern about. John Carmack is just too awesome. He IS the chuck Norris of game developing. I actually used him in the Chuck Norris jokes, but no one ever knew what the hell I was talking about. :P

In terms of the whole SW metagame/mainstream gaming media thing? Gears 3. Already plenty of anti-hype, and even Gears 2 lacked purpose; barring a minor miracle on Epic's part, even the more brain-dead writers are going to struggle to score Gears 3 higher than AA.

In terms of my own special and unique tastes (as in, games I think could be great but probably won't be, as opposed to games like Gears 3 that I already think will be ****)? I guess I'd lean towards Crysis 2. There's a lot to like about it on paper, but translating that to the screen is going to be a hell of a challenge.

Rage. I think it has a lot of cool ideas, and could be a nice change of pace in the genre. Problem? ID hasn't been worth praising since god knows how long. The game is probably going to put more focus on looks, and less on important things like pacing/mission variety or anything. This is how all these sandboxish games screw themselves up. "We have ambition, and look how our game looks!!" me: but....why are all the missions so similar and lifeless after awhile? "...but it looks good doesn't it?" me: *sigh* inb4JohnCarmackisageniusandi'mhatin

That really depends on the hype. I would say a PS3 exclusive since those get a lot of hype around here.
