Hey there is alot of gold coming out of developers this year, but theres a title or two i dont get why these are hardly getting much hype or attention.

1. Brink- This games looks like it has lots of potential...the formula is honestly hit or miss but i am strongly anticipating it could hit... for those that dont know this is like a mix between mirrors edge and bad company 2 kind of, with a slightly cartoony look and the entire game, including story, is online, meaning all bad guys and good guys in story are actual players.... sounds neat to me. People have pointed this game out, but it really isnt getting the attention it deserves.

2. Splinter Cell 3DS- Hyped games for 3DS have basically been all the first party titles, plus metal gear, street fighter, and resident evil games.... but i really dont get why this game isnt catching a single person's eye... even nintendo wont release much gameplay or trailer videos on it, and nobody has demoed this game, yet its coming out at launch. Splinter cell has always been a terrific series, and i think this one is a port of chaos theory, which was arguabbly the best splinter cell ever. I dont quite get why, if all the other ports are getting attention, this one isnt!

3. Resistance 3- This game is getting quite little attention for whats supposed to be one of the biggest exclusives on PS3... i have heard very little on it and nobody really talks about it either... now, i am personally not a fan of it cus with alien shooters i am more of a halo or gears person. However, the series is supposed to be fairly great so i have heard.

4. Forza Motorsport 4- Maybe its too early to say this game deserves more attention, but since apparently forza is the highest rated racer franchise this gen now, i thought a bit more people would be anticipating this game. IDK, theres not much info on it but i just thought since it is coming this year it should be talked about more.

5. Okamiden- Last time i checked, even though okami sold terribly, gamers LOVED OKAMI!! So what gives, yea maybe this is not how you pictured Okami 2 to be ( a ds exclusive, not on PS3).. but even still the game is looking great and if you guys dont give this game much of a care, its going to sell terribly AGAIN!! I gaurentee no okami game will come to PS3 if that happens!!

So these are the biggest games this year i really felt have been extremely overlooked so far... i know the fabulous games this year look like they will blow these out of the water, but i just think they deserve better

What are your opinions on these five games? Any of them on your wishlist, or if none of them are tell why

I'm pissed the sequel to Okami ain't coming to the Wii, but I'll play it on my DS any way.

I'm also surprised how no one is talking about the new Zelda, Skyward Sword. I'm quite hyped up for that game -- I'm actually getting the Zelda collection for my Wii and playing each of them in chronological order this month :lol:

Biggest games this year? Yeah, no. Especially Splinter Cell, Conviction was pretty mediocre. Resistance 2 was pretty meh also, not sure how Resistance 3 will be.

those are all going to be okay games I think. While they all have strong points they all have something to hurt them

Lack of Marketing Perhaps, just not enough interest.

  1. Brink is a new IP and have barely seen any marketing from the developers.
  2. The last splinter cell did kill a lot of interest a lot of people had in the series. Also, like you said not much gameplay videos and no demos yet.
  3. Resistance 2 has a bad reputation here, the series gets a lot of flack for being generic.
  4. Just not a lot to talk about atm, there will be more talk once we find out more about Forza 4
  5. Okamiden is a game on a portable system, portables are not talked about a lot here.

i am pissed too... i think honestly if this game does great in sales and reviews, okami titles will be made for wii or ps3. I can honestly see a great PS3 Move Okami game, or Wii Okami 2, or even an Xbox Kinect Okami game......i mean the game REALLY works, and its formula is practically tailor made for touch and motion sensing devices

Brink: ill check it out thanks for the heads up Splinter cell 3DS: im boycotting ubisoft games on all platforms at the mo. Resistance 3: thats just what i need. another FPS. yawn. Forza 4: i have 2 and 3 and am not any sort of petrol head. so thats enough. i dont think ill be buying any sort of semi sim driving game again until next gen to be honest. Okamiden: im patiently waiting. love okami and it is looking great. really looking forward to it.

Splinter Cell 3DS is a port of Chaos Theory, I believe.

Forza will be hyped as soon as it's shown at E3.

Okamiden isn't made by the same people, so it's sort of a crapshoot.

shift 2 i being talked about here and there, probably more than forza.... dirt 3 doesnt really get much attention cus dirt was never really a hugely significant player in racing like gt or forza or nfs, like its okay but i really understand why it isnt getting much.....skyward is basically the ONLY game being hyped for wii this year, so its not overlooked at all.... torchlight? never heard of it, sorry, i guess it isoverlooked then haha

skyrim, neglected????? It is the most hyped game of the year right next to GeOW3, ME3, UC3, Batman, and La Noire, so it is far from overlooked!!

1. I don't know, Brink just doesn't look that interesting to me. I watched videos before and still don't know WTF the game is.

2. It's a port, and the videos looked like it had a bad framerate, which if you played DS or early Xbox 360 title this wouldn't be a surprise if true. And handheld games don't get discussed much... doesn't have teh graffix!

3. Many people are hype for this, including me, I think it looks great.

4. I guess people are hyped but we haven't seen much, + fears of Kinect :P

5. Again it's a handheld game, if you own a DS then you should be hyped!

1. Brink- Because it looks terrible.

2. Splinter Cell 3DS- Because it's a port of a5 years old game. It's on a handheld.

3. Resistance 3- Because it doesn't have Halo numbers/scores or Killzone's graphics.

4. Forza Motorsport 4- Because it's a sim racer.

5. Okamiden- Because it's on a handheld.

Reasons in blue.

Personally looking forward to Forza 4 and Okamiden.

Really? You prefer the 1st one or you just dont like either, I thought resistance 2 was overall a great first person shooter game.

I honestly think Okamiden is going to be terrible from the series stand point. Clover Studio (Now Platinum Games) made an excellent game from start to finish that really did not need another prequel/sequel.

I'd be on board with it if the original creators of the series were behind it.

Well, I did enjoy Resistance 1 more, but that's probably because we didn't have much choices back then to play a local MP FPS. I hated every single second of Resistance 2 SP, stopped after reaching this wood with the invisible enemies. Didn't play much of it's local MP because it didn't seem to do much new and the maps were boring :S I don't know how 3 will turn out, but I really hated 2 because it did nothing right IMO

Shadow Wars is a Ghost Recon game, and deserves some attention because the creator of X-COM is heading development.
