After Halo 2 and Half Life 2, what is the next big FPS?

I'd say F.E.A.R.


H.A.W.T.

Bonus point for the person who brings up
THAT GAME
as a FPS title.

Dudes! STALKER! Hello! Not FEAR, Black, Quake IV, or anything that's not coming out until after summer:

S. T. A. L. K. E. R.

Biggest game of spring 05. Fuck yes.

Probably STALKER (no, I'm not putting those damn periods in). We have to face the fact that it COULD suck, but I'm hoping that they deliver a compelling experience.

Next to that, I'd probably have to go with FEAR...

I have a strong feeling STALKER won't be very good.
GEIST will be mediocre. I have a feeling the multiplayer will be better than the single player.

I'm actually most excited to see Black. Sounds intense.

Yeah STALKER sounds OK. With the "living world" that they are trying to present, the game could go either way.

Then the videos indicate as much.
Graphics are nice and everything else looks terrible.

We'll see, though...

Rough edges become a bit more acceptable when the content is compelling enough. The atmosphere seems solid and I'm interested in exploring the areas they are presenting (and those ares are REALLLY big).

Deus Ex, for example, had some pretty weak mechanics in there, but the experience was fantastic.

Of course, these guys don't really have any kind of solid track record...so I'm not holding my breath here.

My STALKER predictions

-Only a couple enemy types with Killzone-esque AI
-Poor enemy animation
-Very weak story
-Huge scope with very few objectives and sparse enemies


Average Score:
6.5
 
Unreal Championship 2 in the console world, although I'm unsure with the mixed 3rd person / 1st person view ability if it still qualifies. Black would be another to keep an eye on.

For the PC I'd say probably Quake 4. It's hard to imagine that Stalker or F.E.A.R will get a 10th the buzz that Half Life 2 or Doom 3 got.

F.E.A.R. - there is no doubt
Black - Looks interesting


And of course...

BIOSHOCK!!!! - The spiritual successor to System Shock 2! :D

Half Life 3 and Halo 3

IAWTP

After Halo 2 and Half-life 2 hit I really don't expect to see another majorly hyped huge FPS for at least 4 years. There's just at all that can be announced at this point and reach the hype factor of those 2 games.
 
Other than Half-Life 3, I would guess one of the following would be the next biggest fps:

Battlefield 2
Quake 4
Duke Nukem Forever (if it gets released)
 
F.E.A.R.

This is Monolith at its best. After AvP, there should be no reason to doubt Monolith's ability to create a threatening and down right wicked atmosphere.

For exactly 2 levels, before they lose it and their game degenerates into a by the numbers boring POS.
 
Oddworld Stranger! Ok, it's not exactly a FPS, but the FPS part is an important gameplay element. Can't wait until january.

You obviously read shit.

The multiplayer is going to be really good. I played it at GS. The makers are also members of a top counterstrike clan and as a result it has many counter strike influences. I dont think anyone has played the single player. The real single player hype dont start for a while yet. I'm thinking they are waiting for HL2 come out first. Supposse dot be some surprises.
 

Chopin Trusty Balls

First casualty in the war on idioticy.
Brothers in Arms,Stalker,Fear,Battlefield 2.

Republic Commando is also pretty cool.

Ah,too many promising games :)

And btw Stalker singleplayer expierence is gonna be great and very refreshing.
