Most exciting games of 2011

Archive: 57 posts


2011 is going to be a very good year. Quite possibly the best year for gamers since Mario Bros. was first released. It kicked off beautifully with Little Big Planet 2.
Crysis 2, the sequel to the undisputed best looking game ever.
Elder Scrolls: Skyrim, candy for anyone who loves RPG's.
Killzone 3, a PS3 exclusive FPS that, if the beta was any indication, is going to be amazing.
Portal 2, sequel to the best puzzle game ever.
Rage, an open world first person shooter/racer from the people that created the first person shooter genre.
Marvel vs Capcom 3, Another entry in a great series by the developers of the Street fighter games, the best fighting games ever.
Batman: Arkham City, journey once again into the world of batman, with a dark atmosphere that fits the characters beautifully. More crafted to resemble the gritty comics out nowadays than the campy one of old.
Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3, I really don't need to say anything about this.
Battlefield 3, The only console military shooter that has challenged the Call of Duty series released what looks to be another smash hit.
Deus Ex: Human Revolution, The best future RPG series (sorry fallout) gets another entry. And it's by Square Enix, the gods of the RPG genre.
Duke Nukem Forever, A FPS that has been cancelled more times than I can remember. Ten years in the making, it's finally here... unless they cancel it again.
Star Wars: The Old Republic, finally, a star wars MMORPG by a good developer.
Uncharted 3: Drake's Deception, the final entry in a gorgeous trilogy of action games that stands as one of the PS3's greatest exclusive series'.

Well, that's my list of the games I'm excited for this year. What games are you all excited for?

Not quite, Square Enix do own the IP after buying Eidos but the development is being done by Eidos Montreal.

I'm looking forward to the next Call of Duty.

Call of Duty 6: Old Warfare

The government goes to all the nursing homes and finds all of the old veterans and makes them fight in the new war. :>


Screw Uncharted, this is where it's at.

Funny story guys and gals.

I go to facebook, and B3 gets an Uncharted trophy and it's posted on his facebook.

The lulz.

I saw that too.

But on the actual subject here, I'm looking forward to inFAMOUS 2. I'd suggest FFXIII Versus as well, but that's not coming until next year...

I'm definitely excited for Uncharted 3. Probably the only game besides LBP2 I'll actually get up at midnight to buy.

Resistance 3 has my interest, but depending on how well they pull it off depends whether I get excited. So far it's got me excited from what I've seen, but the last two always had some sort of major downside to them, so I don't want to start holding my breath about the third one.

Quick question: Portal 2 will be sold as a separate game or will it be part of another "Orange Box" of some sort?2011-02-22 20:53:00

Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3, I really don't need to say anything about this.


Because it's horrible?

ZING!

Oh, snap! I never actually played MW2, so I don't know how those ones were. I do have black ops though, and the multiplayer is great. Since MW3 is being developed by treyarch I expect great things. Also yeah, I forgot Infamous 2. The first one though... not that great. It was alright for one playthrough, but in my opinion it had no replay value. (Sure, you could play through good then do it again evil, but come on, the missions are the same anyway. All you get for a morality shift are different cutscenes.)

I have a feeling that Portal 2 might be a download off PSN. Possible?

On other terms - I'm really looking forward to both Killzone 3 and LA Noire. Both look really good, and should be quite enjoyable.

2010 was packed, I was hoping 2011 would give me a chance to catch up, but nope.

EXCITING:
LBP2, Uncharted 3, Battlefield 3 (sequel to the ORIGINAL modern warfare hit), Battleblock Theater, Portal 2, The Last Guardian, and a atom bomb of rpg-goodness (Mass Effect 3, Skyrim, Dark Souls)

ON THE RADAR:
Shogun 2, Rage, Gears of War 3, Shadow Complex 2 (in 2011?)

You guys completed left out the racing genre, I r dissapoint, cuz theres a few i'm excited about.

Shift 2: Unleashed
DiRT 3
Hopefully seeing a new Burnout title, but not getting my hopes up as Criterion is probably just working on more NFS: HP DLC.
And new WipEout game for the upcoming PSP2, (or NGP or whatever they're calling it.)

oh and also Mass Effect 3, that wasn't covered either, I r dissapoint about that too.

Yeah it's possible, there's been a few disc games that have also had a PSN release some ages after launch some on the same day.

They didn't all we've had is the rumour that sledgehammer and maybe some other studios have been brought in to help Infinity Ward get it ready in time for the usual release date because of the number of IW staff that left last year.

It's all about Forza 4. GT wasn't as good as it should have been, Forza 4 will destroy it

Also NHL 12, NCAA 12, NFL 12, F1 2011, Battlefield 3...

I just hope they don't overdo it. I like trilogies to be just trilogies, because you know milking a series will just ruin the plot beyond repair. I'm okay with a fourth game (like Metal Gear Solid 4), but I just hope they end the series there.

Forgot Resistance 3, and inFamous 2 But I don't really care for MW3 or whatever the next CoD is. It's lost it's appeal after bringing out the same thing 4 times.
Games I'm looking forward to are Resistance 3, inFamous 2, Uncharted, Arkham, Skyrim, Portal and BattleField3. And if I have any money left after this year, maybe Crysis
Forgot LA Noire
And the only rumour for MW3 is that it's being finished off by Sledghammer and another dev. But still, five devs for one franchise? Activision trying to release 2 CoDs a year now?

Uncharted 3: Drake's Deception, the final entry in a gorgeous trilogy of action games that stands as one of the PS3's greatest exclusive series'.


WOAH WOAH..WWOOOOOOOAH! Who says its the final entry!?

It could be the last Uncharted game made by Naughty Dog, looking at how long they've stuck with previous ideas such as Crash Bandicoot. But this is probably their most popular one yet, so maybe not!

Looking forward to the next Batman game as well, first one was fantastic fun! But the next game I'll probably be getting is Portal 2, the first one was - amazing - . Had great fun playing it with the girlfriend.

I disagree. the only reason some games get ruined past part3.
is because they stop caring what they are making and are only
making it to sell money. far as that goes i have seen some games
get ruined as soon as part2, how many that have been made don't
make a difference by it self. long as they use a good writer who knows what
he's doing, and keep making fun gameplay, there is no reason for them to stop.
what's the point in something being over? what so there's no more of something
to keep enjoying and to look forward to? boring. i dislike always having to keep
finding something new to enjoy again and again and again! its so tiresome~
i like to keep enjoying something that i can keep looking forward to every tomorrow,
i hate for things to die and to have no more of it to enjoy. a game don't become bad
because to many are made of it, a game becomes bad when the owners stop caring about it.
long as the makers enjoy what they are making it'll always stay good IMO~ *mew

I'd put CoD in that group Though it wasn't the devs fault on it, it was Activision wanting a new CoD for every year =/ They should make a calendar soon for CoD, with a copy of each game in swimwear

Killzone 3
Crysis 2
Skyrim
Mass Effect 3
Arkham City
Rage
Battlefield 3
LA Noire
Star Wars: Old Republic

That's all I can think of right now.

1- Uncharted 3: Drake's Deception
2- The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim
3- Mass Effect 3
4- Batman: Arkham City
5- Portal 2
6- Deus Ex: Human Revolution
7- Infamous 2
8- Dark Souls
9- RAGE
10- L.A. Noire
11- MGS: Rising
That's my list of big expectations in order of hype. Of course I won't be able to buy all these so I'm sure I'll have to rule some out or postpone their purchase. I also have my eye on Duke Nukem Forever and Crysis 2 but I don't think I'll buy those.

This is weird, because this year could easily rival 2010

Heres my list, already having LBP2 and DA2--the years already off to a great start...

10. The Last Story
9. Mortal Kombat
8. Crysis 2
7. Saints Row 3 (this actually looks good this time)
6. Tales of Graces F
5. Anarchy Reigns
4. The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword
3. Skyrim
2. Uncharted 3
1. Mass Effect 3

The years of gaming is getting better because there are dozens of other titles that could have easily made my llist
