Whos pumped, for new games???

COD4, Unreal3, Crysis and DIRT!!! oh my...

Stalker, FEAR, Oblivion..., been there, done that, got the sigil stone...., next!

I can't wait! I've been demoing Colin Macrae DIRT and its pretty slick in Ultra mode.

I've been playing games since a wee little kid... So lets say I've been a gamer for some 20ish years and lately I'm getting jaded by "new" games. It's all the same stuff over and over. You get gems here and there but in general new games no longer excite me.

I used to be a firm believer in buying games, then switched to download and buy if I like but nowadays I download them. In general I install them, play them for a week on and off and then uninstall and forget them. Nothing holds my attention.

I suppose this could be attributed to having a life, being hooked on Eve Online (why play a free game when I'm paying constantly for another one) but really I feel games have just lost their way. There is very little true innovation anymore just rehashs of something done before. All the *big* name games that have recently been released all look pretty but all feel pretty soulless (sp?)

So to answer your question I couldn't give two f*cks about COD4, Unreal3, Crysis and DIRT. It's same game, newer graphics.

If there is a game that I'm waiting on with a little glimmer of hope is SPORE but then as I've said previously it looks technically fab but lacking anything that resembles a game. I think Black and White series also has potential hiding away somewhere that I hope is realised someday (no idea if a third is on the cards, I'm just saying).

Anyway, that's my opinion.

I am really waiting for crysis

And GTA4... but that needs som patience

Unreal '07 looks good to

yea, I'm not so much into Unreal but am about Crysis. I'll have to "reinstall" Vista just for that. I just hope they smarten up and there is a DX9 version.

Assasins creed looks very nice to

And bioshock, that one seems to be good to

Ok, I've been playing Dirt all weekend, man its a gfx HOG!!!

I have been looking for a mod to get rid of all that overblown BLOOM and HDR, yeechhh. I finished the first Tier and on my way to the second. So far my fav is Pikes peak run, wow!

How's your working?

I get bored. Happens with everything; movies, relationships, music ect. tolerance levels build with any exposure = apathy. Do you really think Doom 1 had more depth than Doom3. I don't but i agree it should be the other way around. It hasn't been, just nicer graphics. Can games evolve.. is there a next level.. where did i leave my hat.

just ranting

I agree, I think that more new games should start to get better and bring a deeper gameing experience, since alot of games coming out have ok if not awsome graphics I think that for a game to really distinguish itself it will need better gameplay and other elements.

At least its not as bad as about a few years ago when 3d graphics were fairly new, they could sell any peice of junk game just by saying it was 3d, there is still some of this mentality but I think it will begin to fade some in time.

Great game.. kung fu mod was awesome, great sequel too! Bring on Strangleghold and Alan Wake.

Well, how many S. Koreans do we have in here?

Roll on Combat Mission Shock Force... been kicking around the preview build, there will be a lot of re-learning to be done there... What else? Err, Company of Heroes expansion could hold me over for a bit. I've just come late to the Supreme Commander game, hoping it'll do the business for a good while as well. Anyone see our summer preview btw? Some decent titles... MoH: Airborne looks good from a gaming perspective. Not too sure about CoD, though.

I feel like being in the same situation as you.

Peter Molynux (not sure of the typo) is a god when we speak of originality. FYI he was former team lead with Bullfrog which made Dungeon Keeper. My point here is, he's the one making stuff different, thinking out of the box and talking of which, there is Overlord that, I hope, will give something new to a game. Maybe you can have a look.

Of course, you have to appreciate the genre.

(Btw, Eve is really awesome, I wish I had more money and time to get back)

I'm looking forward to Jumpgate Evolution. It should give EVE a run for it's money and offer something for those that want to really fly their ships.

(gasp) a gamer that puts practical needs ahead of his passion??? 8O , just kidding

I just finished reinstalling VistaU64 on my machine just to get prepped for DX10 gaming, still stoked about CRYSIS!

The older I get the harder it is for me to play games...I don't know why? Maybe time is the bigest issue.

Anywho, I am excited for a couple of games like Mass Effect, Quake Wars, TF2, and Age of Conan.

Mass Effect looks like a really good game, I love all of the games that BioWare has released so I figure that it should be good as well.

Quake Wars and TF2, what can I say, I started with TFC and moved to BF 1942 and I love the fast pace action of playing with 60 some people on a huge map with a class system. Makes for some exciting team work.

Age of Conan looks good to me because I was once into MMORPG back when I was playing UO, of course those games take a huge amount of time so I don't think I would be able to get the game just because I could not invest enough time to benifit from it.
