- Thread starter BY2K
- Start date
10. Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance
I hope it's more than an hanck-n-slash, but still lookin' forward to it.
9. Metro: Last Light
couldn't care less, couldn't even finish the first one.
8. Hitman: Absolution
uhm, i'll get this for cheap probably, i enjoyed Conviction, so i'll probably enjoy this too, but not hyped for it.
7. God of War: Ascension
Never really cared for GoW, i'll keep an eye on it, just to see what's it about.
6. Halo 4
Don't have a 360.
5. Resident Evil 6
Yep, looking forward to this one, especially to see if they can pull off the "3 games in one" thing.
4. The Last of Us
Very curious about this, i'm burned on the Uncharted series, so i'm still on the fence about it.
3. Assassin's Creed III
Yeah, probably my most anticipated game this year, again, curious to see if there's enough new meat.
2. Tomb Raider
I want to see some open-world stuff, no more uncharted-like bullshit, PLEASE.
1. Wii U - The Entire Line-up
Not really that curious about it, don't really know why.
Pretty good list afterall, i can't think of much else i'm hyped about anyway.

not interested at all in any of those
either it's part of growing up or just going to be a bad e3(for me) at least

Just care about the WiiU actually. Everything else is secondary right now.
Isn't the game supposed to be openworld-esque with loot and exploration?
Yeah, plus I believe the what they showed off at the last E3 was the intro area to the game.
Anyways, I guess I'm excited for the Wii U (just to see what Nintendo has up their sleeves) but I'm keeping my expectations low.

I do mostly agree with their list. I'm irrationally excited about RE6, AC3 looks damn good, The Last of Us will probably be GOTS and Tomb Raider is something I have a soft spot for. And, of course, the fucking Wii U.
Good. Otherwise my hype was about to die. Let's see if those claims come to fruition.
Judging by the response to Deus Ex versus its general sales, I kind of feel that GAF is one of the major target markets for a game like Dishonored.
Despite this, of the 15 Dishonored threads we have, almost none exceed 200 posts, and of the three that do, one is primarily a thread about Call of Duty.
For comparison, Insomniac's Facebook game is getting about the same level of reception (or in most cases, more).
Perhaps Bethesda should rethink their marketing approach.

Square is having GTTV show Tomb Raider at their pre-e3 show so this probably GT giving them some hype in return.

Am I the only one who thinks that Tomb Raider looks like shit? I mean not like "it doesn't look that good" but just looks you know like a shitty game ala Homefront?
Nothing in it looks interesting at all and the gameplay demo from E3 was horrible.

TOmb Raider.. #2..? What?
GTAV is the only game I care about, and sadly, it won't make an appearance. I'd also like to see Skyrim DLC.

The gameplay from the demo should not be representative of the core gameplay mechanic.
Regardless, i don't think it looks like shit, production values looked quite good, to me.

predict metroid is present. if i am wrong, i will gladly eat crow by making a thread and asking if nintendo is doomed because there was no metroid.

Homefront had good production values. I"m interested in how it plays.
I played through Homefront last year, it did not have good production values. They weren't terrible, but I wouldn't describe them as good either. They were mediocre, like the rest of the game.
Yeah, that's why I made it especially clear I was just judging the footage shown.

I brushed up on Homefront and it seemed to have good production values but the gameplay was so horrid I had to turn it off within an hour. Either way I think number 2 is too high for that game.

No Bioshock?
It's always going to be harder to judge the quality of new IPs, plus major site will always be afraid to upset all the fanbases who are looking forward to those sequels. I'm not sure why anyone is surprised new IPs rarely, if ever, make these lists. I think it'd be nice if these sites started doing a "Top 10 Most Promising Looking New Properties" or something like that.

is that Dante's Inferno music during the Last of Us?

I don't know what are you guys babbling about, there are tons of new IPs on E3.
Well, it's been said a million times already, so yeah, it shouldn't be a corridor scripted fest.
They're showing the wrong stuff, imo, let's hope they get it together this time.

What have these guys seen of metro last light that makes them put it in the top 10?
I hope It delivers, but I'm currently more exited about Crysis 3.

I'm sure all the new IPs are just waiting to be announced at e3! ...right?
10. Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance
Interested in this, but its had such a rough development cycle that it could be a disaster.
9. Metro: Last Light
Haven't gotten to Metro in my backlog yet, but I love what I've seen so far of the atmosphere and tone.
8. Hitman: Absolution
I hope this game delivers. Hitman Blood Money is a fantastic game, and I've had the itch for one of these for a while.
7. God of War: Ascension
Not too interested in this. While I love GOW, I'm in no way excited for another prequel.
6. Halo 4
Really excited for this one. Looking forward to what 343 has in store.
5. Resident Evil 6
I'm cautiously optimistic. The Leon part of the story seems incredible, but the other two storylines don't appeal to me all that much.
4. The Last of Us
This game is getting some nice buzz so I'm interested to see some gameplay.
3. Assassin's Creed III
My personal most anticipated game of the year. I absolutely love this franchise, and the new setting looks fantastic.
2. Tomb Raider
What we've seen so far just looks like a grittier Uncharted, but if Crystal Dynamics is to be believed, its much more than that. I really hope they show off some of the more open world survival elements.
1. Wii U - The Entire Line-up
Pikmin 3, Retro game, and more. My body is ready.
Wild Card:

I think it was announced that it won't be there.
I'm liking the Tomb Raider choice. There is so much I want to know about that game. Other than the leaked gameplay which was really short we haven't gotten a good look at what the meat of the gameplay will look like from what I understand. And the combat is basically a complete unknown. That and The Last of Us top my list.

The only thing I'm really interested in is the WiiU games. Imagine being able to play a HD Metroid, Zelda, Mario, Wave Race, Pikmin or F-Zero!

Holy shit actual gameplay?! Where did you get this?
I fucking love Death from Above in stealth games, in fact it's the best part of my favorite games: Tenchu, Batman Arkham Asylum, Chronicles of Riddick, Splinter Cell.

I find myself making pre-list checklists for GT countdowns just to see how predictable they are going to be, and with this one, I only omitted three entries: Metro (Had never heard of it), Hitman (Completely forgot about it, since I was never really a fan of the franchise), and Wii U (Cause,I really did not expect it to be on here, it's not a game).
The other 7 I had nailed though. E3 might go either way for me this year.

Yay no CoD.
Not feeling the Tomb Raider anticipation at all.

This. From all the games announced, that's pretty much the only one I'm kinda excited about. Although I probably can't play it anyway.

I can't give any fucks about the new Tomb Raider mainly because I never played any of them before and it looks like they are giving Lara the Other M treatment and turning her from a strong female protagonist into a simpering, vulnerable character that needs a man to survive, so I have no idea what makes it worthy of #2.
