I have a bad feeling about Fable: The Journey. I know it's not a proper addition to the franchise, but I just have this horrible feeling that it's going to do so badly that Fable 4 may never see the light of day, which is a terrible thought for me since I fucking love the Fable series.
MW3. If there is any justice in the world, people will realise that COD is just the same "yanks kill non-yanks" shooter that has 20 different versions of it made every year. And even if it continues on, there are no wars left for it to cover unless they grow some balls and take a crack at this whole "war on terroism" thing.
Also, Halo 4. I am ok with this, because we need to tie off the cliffhanger at the end of Halo 3. But a whole new trilogy? Really?

What no mention of Devil may Cry reboot? (actually I think the franchise was dying anyway so needs a new start) maybe the new Earth Defence Force it seems like they have changed it quite a bit, Halo 4 I think it would have to be pretty bad to destroy the franchise but cant see it rekindling interest in it either especially now Bungies not behind it. Combat Evolved remake has a better chance of ruining everything seeing as they are messing with peoples memories.
If there is another version of SF4 released, again cant see it ruining the franchise but I think it may turn people away from it just from over saturation with (to most peoples eyes) almost no real changes.

This. I didn't really like the original X-COM but I respect it and the new one looks like a flopper.Chaos Marine said:

I felt Sonic Solours was a good look to see how Sonic could be getting better. I have not played the demo for Generations, but it looks like it could be a redeemer for Sonic 3D sonic games, if it was anywhere as great as ColoursEternalNothingness said:
And I am with Halo 4 on this one. OMG they should have stopped with Halo 3, but no Halo Wars, ODST and Reach add to be made. Halo is going to be milked to death. Before we know it, some rich guy is going to kick back up the MMO Halo game.
Are they actually doing a God of War 4???? I really hope not :'(
Sonic's 20th has already come and gone, dude. It was in June. If anything I think they're being quite careful with the release of this one.EternalNothingness said:
OT: I think Bioshock Infinite could go either way. It's either going to reinvent the franchise or bugger it in a worse way than 2 did. I also think they should've stopped Halo after Reach, when they said they would.
I never said Bioware would do anything.OutrageousEmu said:
EA on the other hand...
That is by far the most indoctrinated statement I've ever heard, did you read what you just said?OutrageousEmu said:
So your saying that game developers should just steal ideas from other developers just in hopes of making "half decent games"?
I could come up with examples of shitty games that rip off ideas from good games. But the saturated market today should already be an example of it
The new 'XCOM' game makes me angry for so very many reasons. It's just shit, shit shit shit shit shit SHIT and I hope it fails utterly.
I don't think I've been this upset about a new game... ever actually. But my god does this one do the trick, it's like the developers went out of their way to find every conceivable way to annoy me. Blarg!

I want a Mass Effect: Reach kinda thing where you control the Protheans before they went extinct. Basically showing what happened when the Reapers became involved.Incomer said:
Being a rabid Halo fan, (i read everything play everything etc etc) i want halo to go on forever, but the non-stupid part of my brain says reach should be the last, as a series has to end before it become stale and rotten, i'm looking at YOU Nintendo and Sega!
The new XCOM. I mean microprose and hasbro really did a number on the franchise resulting in its untimely death but now 2K is digging up the corpse. Now when we talk about how great X-Com was we gotta add in "the original games"...... feels like when you talk about Star Wars.
To me, it's already dead.ReservoirAngel said:
Number 3 delivered the fatal blow, it had none of the magic (yes, subjective and personal feeling, I know...) that made Fable great.
I regret wasting money for the Limited Edition. I thought it was going to be the new pinnacle.
Personally, I've been disappointed greatly with it.
Fable: The Lost Chapters was the peak of the games, in my humble opinion :/
(Fable 2 was still great, though)
OT:
Currently, this seems like the next killing blow to a franchise I love.
Maybe it turns out pretty good, who knows, maybe I'll like, even love it when I've finally gotten to play it.
But the indicators I've seen are pointing towards an entirely different direction.
If anyone seriously says skyrim I will tear their nuts off. The new halo has me nervous but hopeful
I agree with you about the Fable games. I've enjoyed each one to some degree, but they've been becoming less with each successive release. Each time they make a new game they take away something that gave the original and Lost Chapters it's unique flair. And it's not the setting or anything. The storyline, what there is of it, has been enjoyable. But Fable 2 took away lots of enemy types and 3 took away the "charm the crowd" enjoyment that the expression options used to provide by making them one on one interactions.Totenkopf said:To me, it's already dead.ReservoirAngel said:

And honestly,
if THE FRIGGIN KING OF ALBION walks up to you, are you really... REALLY... only going to befriend him if he runs a stupid erand for you? REALLY???? I get the whole building your reputation and all that in the beginning, but once your King? REALLY????????
