what game in 2011 is most likely to flop?

• The Last Guardian (NEW IP)- People will hype this AAAE because its exclusive. People will also quote me and say "omg no way!" But we'll see.
• Crysis 2- Generic FPS is generic
• Dead Space 2- Same route as Bioshock 2
• Resistance 3- Dont know why R2 got AAA when R1 was better

imo of course guys:P

That really depends on the hype. I would say a PS3 exclusive since those get a lot of hype around here. themyth01

Mathematically a PS3 game is more likely to flop seeing how the 2011 line up for the Ps3 is packed and well, the 360 line up is... almost non-existent.

after what happened to gran turismo 5 (still better than forza though) anything is possible. im gonna go on a limb and say gears of war 3 is goona be a huge dissapointment. what about for you and why.

Yeah, I don't know, sometimes I guess. I own both games and I don't think I'll ever play Forza again. I had a few of the same problems as the reviews--but, it is still the better game.

i dont know but what i do know its not going to be a ps3 exclusive no doubt imho

There is good chance that a ps3 exclusive will flop and even know I don't want twisted metal to flop but it can happen

I agree, this is actually the most likely culprit.

My thoughts (guesses) on some of the big 2011 titles:

The Last Guardian - I think The Last Guardian will be amazing, but many won't enjoy/connect with it, much like SotC, Ico, Limbo, Braid. Not sure what the critical reception will be like, but I'm guessing that if it isn't a critically acclaimed title, it will be a massive cult hit.

Crysis 2 - I think Crysis 2 will be mediocre, with only its PC counter parts graphics offering anything that really stands out (unless the console version held that aspect back).

Killzone 3 - I think it will be a quality shooter for the PS3. It's scores will depend on what it's compared to, which will depend on what's out at the time. If all the excitement behind CoD & Halo has dried up, it will probably score quite well. I'm not sure on the release date, but if titles such as Brink or Bulletstorm are released around the same time & offer something new & exciting, Killzone may fair quite poorly in comparison.

Dead Space 2 - I expect a quality title with high production values & an exciting single player. I'm not sure how it will compare to the first, but I expect a solid game nonetheless. As for the multiplayer, I'm expecting a buzz for a month or two but it will probably quickly die out. As a result, I think DS2 will be looked back on as a disappointment simply because the multiplayer left a sour taste.

Little Big Planet 2 - I really don't know what to think about LBP2. Sure, the levels are impressive, but they're mostly copies of other games that do it better. Perhaps the improvements on the first & the massive potential behind it will pull it across the line, but until I've played it I can't make a proper guess.

Dragon Age Origins 2 - I'm expecting a Mass Effect 2. PC community will be up in arms but the game will be an overall beter experience & another big hit.

Diablo 3 - Megahit that will last decades. It's Blizzard we're talking about.

Gears of War 3 - Won't flop. Looks amazing & has some great looking new modes. It looks to be the only quality exclusive of 2011 for the 360, but it is one worth waiting for. Gears gets a lot of hate around here, I don't know why though. Maybe they find the overly macho style off putting? The gameplay is solid though, & I haven't played anything like it, except Vanquish (which I enjoyed but ultimately preferred Gears).

Overall, I think Crysis 2 looks to be the most likely to flop, though DS2 wouldn't surprise me also.

Edit: Oh yeah, Star Wars MMO. That takes the prize. With WoW entering Cataclysm (which is awesome) & the trouble rumoured to be surrounding the Star Wars MMO, I expect it, along with almost every other contender to fail. (There are a few that have carved a small piece of the market though, such as Guild Wars)

I'll say Crysis 2 and Twisted Metal.

And Zelda.

[QUOTE="Cherokee_Jack"] You know. Just a feeling. I really really hope I'm wrong, believe me. It could make everything else look like a bad joke next year, but I'm just not full of confidence yet. Cherokee_Jack

"it's be a huge personal disappointment like TP"

[QUOTE="Cherokee_Jack"][QUOTE="Shinobishyguy"] is it more of a "I think they'll just give it 8.5 but I'll still love it" or

"it's be a huge personal disappointment like TP"

Shinobishyguy

Yes, something like that. I didn't want to see a control method pitched as the primary new thing. I went in expecting something that felt fresh and bold, but my reaction was basically "Yep, that's Zelda. You made another one."

If they had anything truly new to show, they should have put it right up front. And my fear is that they would have.

[QUOTE="Shinobishyguy"][QUOTE="Cherokee_Jack"] I don't know, man. I'm sure it's going to be great and get a great score (if not the score sheep will want), but my personal feelings on it could go any way. All I know is I didn't see what I wanted to see at E3. Whether that will pan out in a way I don't expect, we'll find out next year. And for the record, TP wasn't a "huge" disappointment for me. It's still one of my favorite games of the generation.Cherokee_Jack

Actually that was ODST

Wait, wasn't Halo 3 2.5, so that makes ODST 2.6 and Reach 2.7!
