Off The Reservation

I was thinking thd same about Rainbow Six. Hoping it might be this year, but doubtful.

that game looks great. i hope its not like alpha protocol or heavy rain where they put so much into the graphics that the game last like 5 sec.

Mass Effect 3
The Secret World
Guild Wars 2
Ghost Recon
Black Ops 2
Diablo 3
Heart of the Swarm
The Last Guardian
Max Payne 3
Aliens: Colonial Marines
Rainbow 6(most likely 2013)
The Last of Us(probably 2013)
Resident Evil 6(only if it goes back to being survival horror, I don't like this heavy focus on action)
Starhawk
Half-Life 3(probably a pipe dream for this year)

I know I am missing some. These are just the games that are already on my pre-order list or will be when dates are locked down. There are plenty of other titles I will keep an eye on, but I wait to hear on previews first.

Operation Raccoon City was on the list, but was cancelled after reading a preview. Cool concept, but apparently very bad execution.

Can forget seeing the next Xbox or PS. I think they will still be revealed at E3 despite both companies saying no, but too many major titles still in the works for both of their current gen systems for them to release a new system this year. They haven't even locked down final specs yet, so while game companies are already working on things for them with the dev kits they have, true work won't get started until later this year. Wii U will release and likely flop. Death knell for Nintendo systems, too many mistakes with hardware. They catered to the casual crowd too much. Guess what, that crowd doesn't buy games and they definitely don't buy new systems so soon. They are touting better third party support, but none of the games they showed last year are actually confirmed as being developed and likely third party companies are still going to be hesitant with developing for them when the system is only slightly more powerful than the current systems and the hardcore market will wait to buy the true next gen systems. I think Nintendo finally goes the Sega route after this and just develops games for the other systems.

Honestly though I think the time of multiple consoles might end after these next few systems. Cloud gaming is becoming a much more viable system. Look at how On Live works. You can have a crappy comp, but still play the best games at max settings because the games rely on equipment based at their facilities which they upgrade to better stuff regularly.

COD is insane. Highly addictive. I replayed MW2 I don't know howany times.

I hate to say it but never played battlefield. If its better than cod I best not since my fam would never see me.
