Upcoming Game Excitement!

**Ashums** · 06-19-2011, 03:16 PM

What upcoming games you are looking forward to? Do you get excited about yet to be released games and just need to tell people? Here you can list them, talk about them, say why you think they look good, show trailers etc.

A few games I'm looking forward to are:

Aero-Cross (Xbox 360) After being a big fan of the bizzare Metro-Cross I was shocked when I found out about the sequel, after looking at the trailer I can see it keeps gameplay true to the original but brings it to the 21st century which looks cool

Pac-Man & Galaga Dimensions (3DS) I don't actually have a 3DS yet but I'm hopefully going to get one soon. Pac-Man Tilt looks cool, I've always liked Pac-Platformers like Pac-Land and Pac-Man World, and after seeing this I'm very happy, It's actully 2D so it has a classic retro feel to it but it controls with tilt controls, a good mash up of old and new.

Anyway before I ramble on about any more upcoming games I want, what games are everybody else looking forward to?

Elder Scrolls Skyrim, Diablo 3, Gears of War 3 and possibly LOTR war in the north(a mature rated lotr rpg?)

A localisation of Dragon Quest Monsters Joker 2: proffessional, which has yet to be announced.

TES 5: Skyrim

Team Ico Collection: Ico and Shadow of the Colossus in HD for the PS3. I have SOTC but never played Ico. Buying the collection is cheaper than hunting down Ico

The Last Guardian: The third game from Team Ico

Mega Man Legends 3
Castlevania 3DS

Chronos Twins and Trauma Center: Under the Knife are botn old but I just bought them and will be playing them after OoT.

@BH- That trailer blew me away. I probably won't get the game but damn they put a lot of effort into that creature. He's like a cross between a chicken, rat, giraffe, a hyena and who knows what else. Awesome.

I say I probably won't play it because it looks a lot like Ico was, linear puzzle solving with spectacular visuals.

**CrispyChicken** · 06-19-2011, 09:32 PM

Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim
Gears of War 3
Paper Mario 3DS
Super Mario 3DS
Luigi's Mansion 2

They've released very little info about the game. Apparently you have to treat the creature well so he bonds with you over time. They also stressed it has a mind of it's own and will not always listen to you or do what you want it to.

Though I've never played Ico I kind of know what it's like from seeing videos and talking to a friend of mine who has played it. I kind of hope they mix Ico and SOTC into one game. I'd like to see how that works.

**Dudebro** · 06-19-2011, 10:30 PM

I really regret never playing ICO or SOTC. Both looked really cool but I just never got around to renting them and I don't like buying games that are so linear. Really sucks that this new one is PS3 exclusive, guess I won't play it either. Maybe one day they'll all be released in an awesome download pack and I'll try it. If you play it let us know how it is.

Not much but Skyrim and Remothered.

So are they really just gonna make all the future DQ games look like DBZ? I just don't like it at all. I can stand it but it comes off as really lazy and lame.

Akira Toriyama has been the lead designer for the series since the original DQ, changing the designs to it would be the equvilant to changing the designs of the DBZ characters mid series. (in case you arnt familiar, Toriyama does both DBZ and DQ, and it's not some ripoff)

**Dudebro** · 06-23-2011, 07:12 PM

I know it's not a rip off and he's been doing this for years but with the ability for games to show good graphics it's become very noticeable. So instead of making the character models look different in some way they decided to just go with the DBZ look, even the powering up thing. I think it sucks and looks really stupid. You're ok with the protagonist having that ridiculously huge spiky hair?

**splatglobe 95** · 06-23-2011, 07:13 PM

you guys know that i'm so excited that its mario, sonic, and crash's birthday this year!!!

You probably want to rephrase that. Just saying.

Don't they have a birthday every year?

**Dudebro** · 06-23-2011, 07:47 PM

I mean the characters looking like DBZ rejects is more noticeable now. It's like when a book is made into a movie and the character is completely not what you pictured. It may be what the author intended but it still looks dumb.

**splatglobe 95** · 06-23-2011, 08:29 PM

what are you guys talking about

? i don't get it

i'll tell you it mario's 30th birthday, sonic the hedgehog's 20th birthday and crash bandicoot's 15th birthday.

that's what i'm saying

**Slime Slayer** · 06-23-2011, 08:58 PM

Happy birthday.

Regarding the DQ designs, if they ever changed I would probably turn my back on the series. The designs make up such a huge part of the atmosphere of the game, for me it would instantly be ruined.

**Dudebro** · 06-23-2011, 09:13 PM

I'm just talking about the protagonists, they usually look just like a protagonist from DBZ. I have no problem with the monsters, the world, ect. It's the stupid expressions and even stupider hair on the main players. But like I said I can deal with it and still enjoy the game. It's just annoying.

**Kugyince** · 06-23-2011, 09:32 PM

Aren't they customizable?

Anyways, I just bought Drawn to Life for under $6 on Glyde.

I also bought Dark Void Zero, Zenonia, and Link's Awakening DX on the e-shop.

**Slime Slayer** · 06-23-2011, 09:41 PM

You were stuck with the default in the last DQMJ, this is a case where I don't mind the hideous hair and DBZ look, it suits the rest of the game, and I can't think of any style I would prefer. I shutter thinking about DQ getting the Final Fantasy treatment.

**Dudebro** · 06-23-2011, 09:47 PM

Agreed on the FF thing, that would be a tragedy. I guess I would be ok if they just stopped with the damn hair nonsense. But it's Japan, they love this kind of thing.

**Slime Slayer** · 06-23-2011, 10:15 PM

Agreed, anyway I reccomend the game to anyone. I hold the original DQMJ in as high a regard as DQ8 or 9.

**Dudebro** · 06-23-2011, 10:36 PM

The game itself does look cool. Doubt I'll end up playing it but if I get the chance I will.
