2007 Predictions!

(1/11) > >>

Storm Rider:
The title sort of says it all. What game-related events are you predicting for the current year?

I'll start!

Killzone 2 will be an extremely pretty piece of garbage. If it's really coming out this year, then there's no way they'll have time to fix everything that was wrong with the first game.

There's no way in hell Metal Gear Solid 4 is going to be a 2007 game. I'm saying spring '08, at earliest.

As much as I really want Heavenly Sword to be the exclusive PS3 game that blows people away, because I love games where you cut up lots of fools and look awesome doing it, the fact that we haven't seen ANY gameplay footage six months before it's supposed to hit stores is a giant alarm bell in my brain. This one is also either getting delayed, or kicked out the door half-finished and disappointing.

BioShock will be an amazing game, but nobody's gonna buy it. It will look incredible, but as soon as all the shooter fans find out it's a game with a cohesive, compelling storyline but no multiplayer they'll immediately lose interest and go back to posting on message boards with handles like MazterCheef about how great Halo 3 will be. Unless it manages to capture the survival-horror Resident Evil crowd it's gonna flop for sure.

Sony will cut the PSP's price again and release another wave of desperately ridiculous 'street' ads instead of actually making good first party games for it.

Anybody else have ideas?

CRYSIS. PLEASE give me crysis. Gah must have want need.http://www.crysis-game.com/11.jpg  http://www.gamemag.ru/pics/13328-crysis_tech_demo.jpg

To be brutally honest I would like nice game play but if all I get is beautiful garbage I would be OK with that. I understand this makes me a bad person.

To be honest, I'm not as optimistic about Bioshock as a lot of people seem to be, but I'm predicting it will be a damn good game, that will meet with great critical acclaim, but be seriously hindered by the fact that it's nowhere near as groundbreaking as the creator is claiming it will be. The situation will make the game sales go from decent to "cult classic" level of sales. I will still buy it for PC and whore it out.

Sony will do and/or say something stupid.

Melodic:
I predict ATi's foray into DX10 will be on-par with nVidia's, but with superior driver support. Not that this means anything to fanboys, though.

Crysis will be the new Oblivion, in that the official forums will be flooded with posts yelling at the developers for making a game that doesn't work, only to be kindly told that their computer is incapable of running it. There will be a lot of these people. The people who play this game on high will also have a Porsche in their garage.

Super Smash Bros. Brawl had better damn well arrive. And I better have the money to buy it and the console required. The Wii will get bigger, with developers figuring out what works (Zelda) and what doesn't (Red Steel) with the Wiimote. Hardcore gamers will start picking up Wiis when Nintendo starts dropping games on them.

est:
Supreme Commander drops in Feb out this way.  RTS game of the year.

Not sure what else is coming out this year.  Might have to look into it and get back.
