Who is REALLY exited about Gears 2, Fable 2 and Banjo 3 ?

No-ones hyped for any multiplats? I know this is system wars but c'mon guys there are some big multiplat games that are out this year.

I'm personally looking forward to Stalker: Clear Sky, Mass Effect (PC), Fallout 3 (not really hyped for it though :(, I thought you console guys would be eating up the dumbing down of another PC series though), Empire : Total War, Mafia 2, Starcraft 2, Spore and FarCry 2.

edit: forgot MGSIV and Mirrors Edge

I'm hyping multiplats :|

I have to admit we still do not know much about both Banjo and Fable, and it is not certain will be hits either, given Fable 1 was so small, i am just predicting by the new data, but frankly i would love to have a gameplay video too, to see how it actually plays before passing final judgement myself

Still i am exited because those games seem so great and above all fresh and different, espeically Banjo

Well, this is System Wars. What's the point of listing Multiplats. But if you really want a list you can ask then wait for half an hour or so.

Should at least put them up as something the Wii wont get :P

I have to admit we still do not know much about both Banjo and Fable, and it is not certain will be hits either, given Fable 1 was so small, i am just predicting by the new data, but frankly i would love to have a gameplay video too, to see how it actually plays before passing final judgement myself

Still i am exited because those games seem so great and above all fresh and different, espeically Banjo

go to gametrailers.com and looks up the 20 min gameplay vid for fable...its nothing special tho. and the guy overseeing it is a total goof. man i wish i could remember his name. ill just say this. theres 1 melee attack button. by pressing it in different sequences or timing you can trigger different attacks. its gonna be a 7 hour long button masher. at the end of the day thats the sad reality.

I think you are exggerating a bit

I have finished Fable, the LC, and was a great game, not the best RPG around TBH, but good game, and took me 20 hours give or take, since i am a completist

So, how on earth will the sequel that is confirmed 20x bigger be 7 hours ?

Also read that you can buy everything in the world, so that makes it a bit more than a button masher, and then i recall magic in Fable 1 was great, far above just a button masher as you suggest

But i am still sceptical about how it plays, that is true, i need to see some real in game videos, with HUD etc

**** YEAH I LOVE THEM ALL 3!!!!

Im really looking forward to playing NG2. That game is better than any action game out there!

Yes and add NG2 to the mix to make it EXTREMELY excited :Dxbox3604lyf

Can't wait for God of War III ....... decade of the ps3 confirmed

there is real gameplay videos. one button for melee, one button for magic, one button for ranged attacks. and i've said multiple time already the guy making fable 2 likes to blow smoke out his ass. also in fable 1 you can buy all the proerty and rent it out to people. yeah i played it. i know you think im a cow but you'd be wrong there. it was an enjoyable game i agree. but he hyped the first game like the second comming of christ, same way he's doing now. and also like i said before developers ALWAYS say 20x more this 50x times more that 10x more this. that doesn't make it true. all im saying is dont raise the bar to high cause belive me you're just setting yourself up for dissapointment.

I do not get it, is it me, or in Oblivion i use one button to attack, one for spells and one for bows ???

What is the differnece ? Why is that bad for a RPG, when it was fine in say Oblivion ???

Also i agree, the first did not deliver what he hyped, but i fail to see how this makes Fable 2 any less impressive TBH, this is a whole new generation and a sequel, it is not playing Fable 1 again

So, i suspect for some reason, you are a bit biased against the game, i am sceptical myself, but i would not be so fast to judge a completly diffent, bigger and new game from Fable 1 some many years back

And Fable 1 definatly was not 7 hours for me, and i doubt was for anyone TBH, was not FF of course, but fair sized

As for the scale, we will see, TBH all i see is same tiny paths like Fable 1 had, but we will see

[QUOTE="xbox3604lyf"]Yes and add NG2 to the mix to make it EXTREMELY excited :DNike_Air

You mean you prefer the mindless boring button mashing in GOW games, to the precision and reflexes requiring NG2 "hack and slash" combat ?

I totally agree with this statement.

Also in relation to Killzone 1 -> Killzone 2.

lulz.

theres no biased against the game. there is however doubt with Peter Molyneux the creator of the game. im willing to give any game a whirl. but Peter Molyneux had nothing but empty promises with the first and im not gonna fall for it with the second. im pretty sure the first game was supposed to be some epic 40 hour long game or something. and fable and oblivion are 2 different kind of game in some aspects and imo fable not even close to on the same level as oblivion

also chances are in the interview he said that there would be 20x the content. that doesn't necesarily mean 20x the gameplay. this guy is very tricky with his words and over exagerates ALOT. the game could very well be longer but im saying hes lying through his teeth and dont belive him. play them game its prob gonna be good not great but good just like the first. i also am a completionist and the first game took me a little around 25 hours. thats kinda pathetic for any rpg to be pretty much %100 in 25 hours. the core game took little more then 6 or 7 hours. also just cause the button layout is the way it is doesn't mean its bad. i like some button mashers. kingdom hearts 1 and 2 for example are a couple of my favs and require nothing more then hitting the x button repeatedly, well theres a little more then that but you understand what im saying

lol i know you're only jokeing but ng kicks the **** outta god of war. i love how infuriatingly hard ng is.

In my opinion, Fable 2 is captivating. I mean, it has leaves! Fondness

lol not this again.

Well, ok, fair enough

TBH i too am in the wait and see situation, but just a lot more optimistic than you, since i liked the first, and the second seems much more pormising

Only time will tell i guess, we will know for sure in a few more months

here he is running his mouth again along with gameplay of the fighting system. sorry i tried to get to gametrailers for an hd video but the site is down. so you'll have to deal with butchered youtube. looks like nothing special to but id still like to give it a try. cause well you never know what games gonna blow your socks off

Gears of War 2 = a must buy for me

Banjo 3 = I'll probably buy for the nostalgia just like I did with PDZ

Fable 2 = I hate RPG's

PsychoT4Prez

Banjo 3 is rather different than older ones though, or maybe totally differnet

I'm really excited about those 3 plus NG2, Allan Wake and Too Humanteufelherz

yup, anyone with a brain who dosen't just own a ps3 is.

Geow2 yes........very yes

Fable 2 not really just wanna see how it turns out, I am wayyyyy more hyped for Too human

Banjo yes but I hope they don't change it too much:(

Oh and NG2

Could be the finest year for a individual games console thus far in VG history ( IMHO ) - we shall see when these hit the street and are scored but I'm betting on a whole lots-O- WIN ! :D

Too Human

Banjo 3

Fable 2

NG2

Gears 2

Halo Wars ( yes, I am now fully on-board this one - no more doubts - trust me, it's going to make a bigger splash then I originally thought ! )

S.C.C. 360/PC ( may not hit this year but me hoping it makes it though a early 2009 would be fine with me )

GTA4 360/PS3 ( This truly is a 10 - man Rockstar is an amazing dev. ! )

So, if you have a 360 and XBL, enough time in the day may become the biggest problem this year !

Most have on & off line MP co-op for extra Win !

I could really care less about gears 2. I have some interest in Banjo. I really really want Fable 2 I loved the first one. Also where is my release date for fable 2 and too human dammit.finalfantasy94

August 12, 2008 Too Human Microsoft Adventure

and the best we got so far for Fable 2

October 2008 Fable 2 Microsoft Action
RPG

Doesn't feel like Gears is 6 months from release. I'm excited, but I'd be surprised if it wasn't delayed. Not excited for Fable at all, and I'm interested in Banjo because I've never played one.Chutebox

You've missed out. And I have a feeling that this Banjo won't be as awesome as the N64 titles. You should try the earlier Banjo games too... to understand and fully enjoy this one. But I have a feeling that RARE will deliver. Can't... wait!

I am excited about all three of them, however my hype for Banjo is turning into worry the more and more I see those Vehicle screens. I am more excited about Viva Pinata 2 now...Waffle_Fish

Actually they confirmed you can create your own vehicles, from 1600 parts you can find, and handle the various puzzles/quests in the game as you see fit, by making your own vehicle and approach to solve the problem

Also that platforming is still there too

So, the bets of both worlds, and frankly i am happy it is like that, otherwise could get boring for this gen
