Most Anticipated Games of 2012
 

Since I already made a thread like this for movies, how about for games? What are you most looking forward to in 2012? Here's a few of mine to start things off:

-Street Fighter X Tekken
-One Piece: Kaizoku Musou (Import)
-Tekken Tag Tournament 2
-Twisted Metal (apparently a new one is coming out for PS3 and it's an old favorite series of mine)

I'm gonna say the first-party launch titles for the Nintendo Wii U.

I'll say these and go ahead and add:

• Uncharted Golden Abyss for Vita
• Resistance for Vita
• Little Big Planet for Vita
• Super Smash Bros for 3DS
• Paper Mario for 3DS
• Luigi's Mansion 2 for 3DS
• Halo 4
• Sonic the Hedgehog 4: Episode 2 (could still come out for Wii)

Skullgirls
Street Fighter X Tekken
Tekken Tag 2
SoulCalibur V
Battle High 2
Naruto Shippuden: Ultimate Ninja Storm Generations
Dead or Alive 5,
Persona 4: The Ultimate In Mayonaka Arena
Anarchy Reigns
Paper Mario (3DS)
Pokémon + Nobunaga's Ambition

Also looking forward to possibly getting a Vita sometime, maybe near the year's end.

Diablo 3
Starcraft 2 Expansion
Mass Effect 3
Max Payne 3
Final Fantasy XIII-2
Final Fantasy Verses XIII
The Last Guardian (hopefully it will come out)
Professor Layton and the Mask of Miracle
Mario Tennis 3Ds
Animal Crossing 3DS
Luigis Mansion 3DS
Kid Icarus: Uprising
Xenoblade (i know it's been out forever in japan and in the UK but its coming to NA next month i believe)



I am sure there are more 3DS games coming i will want, plus the Vita but i already imported it and the uncharted game, also REALLY looking forward to Wii-U, Wii gets a lot of slack but i love it.

There's games coming out in 2012?

Luigi's Mansion 2 for 3DS
Paper Mario for 3DS
Super Smash Bros for 3DS
Transformers: Fall of Cybertron

Though, with a baby on the way I'm not sure how much time I'll actually get to play these.

Resident Evil Revelations
Uncharted Gold Abyss
Max Payne 3
Borderlands 2
Luigi's Mansion 2
Tomb Raider
Halo 4
Sonic the Hedgehog 4: Episode 2
The Inevitable Assassin's Creed

and I just know I'm missing some more...

EDIT:

Alan Wake's American Nightmare
Hitman Absolution

You sly huckster.

As of now...

Bioshock Infinite

Halo 4

Ninja Gaiden 3

No point the world is going to end :P

Well the game im looking most forward to is
Gears of War !!!!!!!!!!Oh wait there isnt one this year :lol:

Not really too thrilled for any game this years, except maybe Halo 4 (Master-chief is jst Bad ass) and Assassins creed

I may give Kid Icarus: Uprising a try.

Jesus, are they still releasing Sonic the Hedgehog 4: Episode II? What has it been -- like, a year and a half? Way to drop the ball Sega.

The world isn't project to end until late December, which means we've got plenty of time to enjoy 1st, 2nd, 3rd, and maybe even 4th quarter releases!

The "world is ending" joke was played out before 2011 even started. Time to let it go. It's like the Chuck Norris of f*cking religious bullsh*t.

Still thinking on this one. Right now I can't really say a ton, but Last Guardian is absolutely number one...if it gets finished. ME3 should probably be up there, too, but BioWare has done a great job of annoying me on their last two sequels, so I'm not giving them the benefit of the doubt this time.

Speaking of the world ending, I'm also very much looking forward to Darksiders 2. I loved the first one. Hopefully we can see some gameplay soon.

totally. specially if it doesn't release on the Wii

If it's not on the Wii it's because it's going to be on the WiiU. Just wait and see.

Last two? What was the other one beside DA2?

ME2. Thye ditched all the RPG elements in order to turn it into a below-average TPS with force powers.

Everything about ME2 is exemplary...except the combat. And sadly, everything they've showed with ME3 makes it look like even less of an RPG, which I thought was close to impossible. Turret sequences...disgusting.

It's actually my biggest problem with a lot of my favourite game franchises at this point. Even TES has taken several large steps away from incredibly deep RPG mechanics to make the game a lot easier for the CoD generation to understand.

Mass Effect 3
Fortnite
Assassin's Creed III (???)
Super Smash Bros 3DS (I don't have a 3DS though and probably won't buy one)

Dumb and stupid.

Resident Evil 6

That has to be the best trailer I've ever seen. This game looks very amazing. Definitely my most anticipated.

I am absolutely convinced after watching the RE6 trailer that Resident Evil will never be good...ever again. They've strayed so very far from what the series is actually about that it kinda makes me want to cry sometimes.

It'd be pretty hard for Resident Evil to ever be good again considering it was never good in the first place.

Well, I wouldn't say all that. It had a good story at first and I personally enjoyed the gameplay despite the tank-like controls.

Did it really?

It was a good premise for a video game, I'd say.

Sure premise but I wouldn't say the story was good at all.

Well, I certainly enjoyed it. It stopped being good when Capcom forgot their game was about zombies and puzzles. Now Operation Racoon City is like a Gears of War ripoff? Sigh...

Right now:

Transformers: Universe and Fall of Cybertron

But there is no telling if I will add more to that list as the year progresses.

You can enjoy playing the game, but you have to admit it's a product of its time. Can you imagine how people, especially younger people, would react to RE6 if it went back to that style? It'd sink the franchise.

Also...RE story...man. Not even RE, but Capcom stories...man.

I love Resident Evil and I also really enjoyed the original formula. If it were to make a return I'd be happy but I think Capcom evolved it well. Resident Evil 4 had a creepy atmosphere and a couple of "scary" moments here and there and was an overall amazing game. Resident Evil 5 took that forward but took away everything that made Resident Evil what it is. It was very intense I'll give it that but not creepy or scary. Now, Revelations is finding a balance between the new and the old which is very cool. When I payed the demo for it it felt like an evolved RE1. And now 6 is just awesome. It has a dark atmosphere, tons of zombies and other BOWs, and lots of action. I'm sure the game will have it's claustrophobic quiet scary areas as well since we do see Leon walking in a mysterious hallway and later fighting a blob creature. And I have to admit, I'm really geeked that Leon and Chris are both in this.

The only game I can really think of off the top of my head is the assassin's creed that will eventually come out, but other than that it doesnt look like a good year for gaming. COD JST NEEDS TO DIE

Not a good year? Dude, this year looks to be topping last year. The new Tomb Raider looks good, Halo 4 can go either way, Max Payne 3 looks awesome, it's possible for GTAV to come out this year, Resident Evil 6 looks badass, and I know people are looking forward to Mass Effect 3.

Saying COD needs to die while being excited about another Assassin's creed.

Yeah, I can agree with that. And yeah, Capcom stories...Devil May Cry. :(

You're a f*cking clown for so many reasons.

You're a bitch for so many reasons :P

I seriously jst not into the games that r coming out this year....Not into Bioshock....I was going to get Halo 4, but Halo 3 was such a disappointment that I am not going to put time into the 4th game until I see reviews first.

I dont have a Nintendo Wii or Ps3 jst a 360.
The only games I am looking forward to really is Prototype 2 and Assassins creed 3 both games have interesting storyline and they r both jst fun to sit down and play.

unfortunately due to me being in college I don't have the money to spend on all different games and buy multiple systems.

So Yeah I guess Im a Clown :P

The way you type I would have guessed you were like 12 or 13.

I guess I'm looking forward to Mass Effect 3 and Borderlands 2 the most.
