What Games Are You Excited Over?

Been a couple of years since I posted! Played a couple of the games I was looking forward to, and I've got a few others waiting to be played when I've finished my Master's.

After E3 press conferences from Sony and Ubisoft yesterday, as well as announcements over the past couple of months, I've got a few more to add. In some sort of order:

- Quantic Dream's new game, Beyond, looks brilliant! I loved Heavy Rain, and Beyond gives the impression that it will follow in the same vein.

- The Last of Us, from Naughty Dog. Uncharted meets I Am Legend. Brutal.

- A new IP from Ubisoft called Watch Dogs. Id heard a couple of things about it, and wasn't too keen until I saw the gameplay trailer. It looks a lot like a TV series I watch called Person of Interest. Needless to say, I'm intrigued.

- Dishonored! I'm surprised we haven't seen it at E3 yet, but this new one from Bethesda should be fun. Something of a cross between Assassin's Creed and BioShock.

Of course, I have to add the obligatory Assassin's Creed III, GTA5, and BioShock: Infinite.

I think that's it for now.
 
I can take or leave an apocalypse scenario, but The Last Of Us looks potentially excellent. It largely hinges on how good the AI for Ellen Page is.

Dishonored could be really good as well.
 
Well, I think I can probably say that the one game I'm NOT looking forward to will be TES Online.


Here I thought Bethesda was the last real refuge for pure single player, so the announcement of creating an MMO was a kick in the nuts to me. :p To be honest, I don't even know if there are any big titles coming out that I'm looking forward to. About all I can hope for is that Minecraft keeps getting updated well.
 
Watch Dogs looks really awesome. Its not going to be out anytime soon sadly.
 
There are a few coming out which might be worth a look.

I'm quite tempted by F1 2012. I bought 2010 but not 2011, and it'd be interesting to see how the safety car, Pirellis, DRS and KERS all work.

Dishonored comes out in October, a month after F1 2012. It's an action game set in a single city with a kind of Victorian-era variant of technology (cars exist but run on rails).

However, I'm most excited by The Last of Us, which comes out early next year and is probably going to be preordered. It's a realistic post-apocalypse game, but the real shtick isn't "Rawr, zombies!" but the relationship between two characters (player character and AI buddy) who form a sort of father-daughter bond. The gameplay looks pretty vicious and visceral too.
 
Some have been mentioned already, but here are the ones on my radar:

Borderlands 2
X-com (the strategy game, not the fps--I have no idea who came up with such a silly idea)
Dishonoured
Watch Dogs
Bioshock Infinite
The Last of Us
Guild Wars 2
Beyond: Two Souls
Remember Me

I want to be excited about Dead Space 3, but for some reason, it looks too far removed from the first one, which I loved.

I'll never get through all of them, but one can hope.
 
XCOM Enemy Unknown (out next week wooo)
Halo 4
Dishonoured
Far Cry 3
Planetside 2
Project Eternity (oblivion kickstarter rpg)
Company of Heroes 2

These are the games that come to mind at first thought :)
 
Dishonoured could be good. I'm still on my first season with F1 2012 so I won't be buying Dishonoured straight away.
 
I'm eager for
Dishonoured.
Assassin's Creed III (took me a long time to warm to it actually, now i'm eagerly awaiting)
The Last of Us (can't wait for this!)
 
Agree entirely on The Last Of Us. Expectations are high, but it looks bloody good.

XCOM looks like it might be tasty. TBS sci-fi by the chaps who did Civilization. To be honest, I'd be seriously considering a pre-order if I hadn't bought F1 2012 recently.
 
i was away and only just got Max Payne 3 which i've been dying to play since it was released. did not disappoint!

only a week and a half left until HALO 4!!!!! can't wait for that game!
 
I enjoyed max payne 3, although felt it lacked some of the balls to the wall action of the original games. The use of music in it was standout.
 
I just got the American Revolutionary War edition of Assassins Creed. Altogether, a highly addictive time waster.
 
I just watched the new GTA V trailer. I'm getting very excited now. At first i wasn't sure about the three playable characters, but they all look really interesting. Also, apparently the world is bigger than GTA San Andreas, GTA IV and Red Dead Redemption put together! It's gonna be epic.
 
Red, I haven't seen the trailer but read an article suggesting a Skyrim-esque skills system, with the three characters initially more talented in varying areas.

I wonder if there'll be a pickpocket option...
