Discussing The Most Awaited Games Of 2004?

Posted by simoniker on from the definitely-pong dept.

Thanks to 1UP for its end-of-year summary feature, in which the site editors discuss the most intriguing and perkiest gaming events of the year, but also "look ahead at the newborn trends of 2004." Next year's particularly lusted-after games include Psychonauts ("Double Fine's Xbox platformer has been delayed a lot now, which can sometimes spell trouble, but I have faith in them to deliver something amazing when they do get around to it"), Metal Gear Solid 3 ("After the talking-heads nightmare of Metal Gear Solid 2, I can't wait to just trot off into the jungle and start killing people"), and Halo 2 ("With a gun in each hand and the ability to hijack vehicles, this one has the potential to be as popular as the first one continues to be.") Which games are you particularly looking forward to in 2004?

      Optimist. They're going to decide to change the engine the game will use twice and end up in the same place.

    So, um, are we just pretending that HL2 came out in September and that it shattered our perception of what a FPS could be?

    Ok, good. Now i can get on with my life.

    Pffft, who cares about all these fancy-schmancy FPS games? I can't wait for Nintendo Puzzle Collection for Gamecube. Dr. Mario, here I come!

    Any game that's been in production for ten years just has to be able to live up to expectations!

    Gran Turismo 4. Oh, I guess that's 3 words. But anyway... this game is the only reason I will be purchasing a PS2 next year.

    Worlds of WarCraft, because I like MMORPGs when I have lots of spare time and Blizzard is the only company I know who seems to be able to make fun RPG systems. ... Which Blizzard's RPG system do you mean? ;)

    I'm guessing you just plain don't like RPG systems period. I really hope you're not going to tell me the diablos are RPG.
