What Game Can't You Wait To Play?

[Thadlerian]

Bioshock.

It's out, though, so I guess it's just a matter of buying it.

[ColecoVisionist]

Maximo 3 (if someone ever gets around to producing it).

[Addy]

Pro Evolution Soccer 7. Out in October.

[Sephiroth]

Crisis Core: Final Fantasy VII (a prequel to the original FFVII) on PSP

Just out in Japan, no release date for Europe as yet...

[devilsgrin]

Assassin's Creed most definitely!

[Mithridelle]

Assassin's Creed and Crisis Core - but first I have to actually buy a PSP

Mithridelle

[Fake Vencar]

Unreal Tournament 3. Ordered it last October, Amazon got it wrong so have been waiting almost a year

[Sephiroth]

I have the same problem, Mithridelle. Think I'm just gonna borrow my friend's PSP, and me and another friend are gonna pay half each for the game.

Anything for FFVII...

Don't suppose you've got a PS3, have you?

Endless Crisis: Final Fantasy VII to be announced at TGS? :: PlayStation Universe (PSU)

The first game on the list looks very interesting.

By the way, for those who don't know, the Tokyo Game Show runs from Thursday 20th to Monday 24th (or near enough). Can't wait!

[Sephiroth]

Wow. I know of two other FFXIII games in planning that aren't on that list (one for the mobile phone, pointlessly), but I hadn't heard of this!

So, we're not entirely sure if it's the original remade or a spinoff, yet?

Whatever the case, thanks for the link, Lenny. Exciting stuff...

Haven't a clue. Whilst Squenix have said that they are not making an FFVII remake in the forseeable future, various big-hitters within Squenix (including Tetsuya Nomura - he who made FFVII, as well as the Kingdom Hearts series, and now the Fabula Nova Crystallis franchise (FFXIII to us untrained in the arts of Squenix), who says he'd loved to make it when he's free) have expressed interest in re-making it.

The Fabula Nova Crystallis games that have been announced so far are:

- Final Fantasy XIII (PS3)
- Final Fantasy Versus XIII (PS3)
- Final Fantasy Agito XIII (Mobile Phone)

I think there was a rumour of another around the Squenix day earlier in the year, and now there's rumour of a fourth addition to the FNC franchise in Final Fantasy Melody XIII (Square to announce yet another Final Fantasy at TGS? :: PlayStation Universe (PSU)), but no-one knows if it's soundtrack, PS3 game, PSP game, or even (heaven forbid) a 360 game.

Bring on Thursday!!

EDIT:

Mebbe not. I think I was thinking of FF Dissidia for PSP.

better make sure you and your friends write up a detailed contract for this - or it the simpson comic fight all over again - - -

As for the PS3 titles - well I am looking forward to them, but like the head of square enix (i think it was him) says, the price for a gaming console has become too high for what the consol is truly worth - thus I will wait until sony changes the price to a more sane and affordable value - so the rest of you but them like crazy to drive the price down!

Yoichi Wada. Yeah. He's been saying a lot about [the now] current gen.

First that the 360 and PS3 were over-engineered - far too advanced for what's needed. And he's had a few digs about the pricing of the PS3.

Yet he still prefers PS3 over 360, I think... at least, he's been saying a lot of nice things about it, concerning power and potential and what not. Plus the company as a whole still develops primarily for the PS3 where a lot of their franchises are concerned (main story games, at least, such as FFXIII, and the upcoming KH3, or whatever they finally name it).

Just look at how well they did on the PS2 with FF10 and 10-2 - the graphics knocked most other games into the dark ages - - and yet so many games are increasingly reliant on looks to win buyers. There are few companies that ar willing to take the time and effort to produce games with true allround quality (off the top of my head the top two I would say are Squard enix and Blizzard)

I think his straegy for stiking with the PS3 is probalby because most of the fans of the series will also stick with the console as well; and get the consol before the game ships. Thus to keep that majority of fans it is wise to keep to the same console - though more recently they are producing products for nearly all modern consoles - I hope he does not get carried away and wind up like ea - lots of producs - lower quality

Oblivion!
Ever since it came out I've been itching to play it but just looking at the system requirements makes me and my 3 year old laptop cringe. So until I get round to buying a new machine (half way through college so will be a long while before I get some cash) I'll have to be content with playing morrowind
