Unfortunately, I'm willing to bet that many people, not having heard of those games, aren't going to be bothered researching them at all to find out whether they'll be 'good' or not. And will probably just jump on the hate bandwagon and say that they suck. All because they haven't been 'hyped'.

Pessimism aside, there's several on that list I'm quite looking forward to, but most of all the new Shin Megami Tensei game. I think it was rumoured that the Demi-Fiend (main guy from Nocturne) will be the main character again, which would make me a happy geek indeed :) 

I just know that the other systems are going to suck massively compared to the Xbox PI! I know this because I am an overly biased fanboy who follows only the popular media trends of bashing certain consoles and refuses to make my own informed judgements!

I don't care that none of them are even out yet and we know next to nothing about them! Logic is for weiners, I have angry curse/emotive words to convey a meaningless 'opinion' that I expect everyone else to accept without question!

Following the idea of the-very-best's poll about 3 highly anticipated Wii games (http://au.gamespot.com/pages/forums/show_msgs.php?topic_id=25518015), I've decided to do my own for the 360.

No flaming, I'm not saying that any are going to suck. 'K?

Was browsing the retro selection on and online store once, and saw it, but yep, not a direct relation.PhantomNemesis

Yeah, fair enough, it's not really related to the 'new' Crackdown at all. Mind you, Crackdown on 360 is certainly a fun and enjoyable game, but I still love the Genesis game and was rather shocked/elated when I thought someone was making a sequel (it's probably just nostalgia being a biased bugger again though :P)

Didn't MS say something about people not really caring about BC? Unfortunately I don't have a link (and am currently too drunk/tired to find one), but I'm pretty sure it was on GS or IGN somewhere.

Understandable if they want to put their focus on new games/improving the hardware, but to dismiss BC like that seems a bit silly. Weren't games like Panzer Dragoon Orta still not supported? (At least, that's how I remember it. Feel free to correct me if I'm wrong)

When I heard the announcement about the 'new game' quite a while back, I have to wonder, was I the only one excited that an obscure little Genesis title (that I loved, but many seemed to hate/ignore) seemed to be getting a sequel?

Please tell me I'm not the only one who'd heard of/played this ancient yet enjoyable game. :(

Fair enough that you've never heard of it (like I said, it's an obscure and ancient game), but how can you say that the recent incarnation is way better without ever having played the Genesis version? Unless you base a game's quality purely on review scores like the majority of System Wars regulars. :P 

......Much though I like Sony, and considering the fact that I eventually plan to buy a PS3, I still have to point out a fundamental flaw in your logic.

The only exclusive game in that list is Motorstorm. And that game doesn't include split-screen multiplayer (something I consider to be important).

All that matters in System Wars is graphics. Nobody EVER talks about gameplay here..because so few posters here possess the mental capacity to debate such topics. It's much easier for them to make an "(insert screenshot here) >>>>>>>>>>> (insert screenshot here)" or "(insert game review score here) >>>>>>>>>>>>(insert game review score here)" type thread/post.Velocitas8

You know, I don't care if you're another guy or not, I still want your babies. 

[QUOTE="Radeon_X1950XTX"]lets see, farcry half-life 2 doom 3 F.e.a.r these games where graphic showcases and got great reviews, crysis will be AAA garanteed or ill leavedef_mode

CS1.6 owned all of those games.

For the record, you DO realise that CS was based off the Half-life (original) gameplay, right?
