Dungeon Siege, Jedi 2 and StarWars Galaxies are my personal big three (well two...i doubt SWG will make it out 2002)...

Just picked up Serious Sam 2 (Loved the first one!) it's a great game...mindless death and destruction - have to love it!

clint

[Soulblighter]

Dungeon Siege and Jedi Outcast are definately on my 'must buy' list. And since both have gone gold... oh yes they will be mine.

SOF 2 and Unreal 2 will probably end up on my computer as well though.


soul.

[Aquarius]

Impossible Creatures.

[dough]

moo3.

And, er, that's it.

[ÜberJumper]

There's only one game on my 2002 wishlist.

I will be getting global ops, IC and Duke though.

[Eiden]

UT2

[Nova]

My list is quite short, but sadly, unrealistic:

• Grand Theft Auto 3
• Fallout 3
• Fallout 3
• Fallout 3
• Fallout 3
• Fallout 3
• Fallout 3
• Fallout 3
• Warcraft 3 (I have a thing for RTS' so sue me)

[skywalker]

halo halo halo halo halo

oh yeah halo


and most of the ones above
though my parents wont let me buy gta3

[goduranus]

no one like startrek bridgecommader?

[reki]

im looking forward to "return yet again to castle wolfenstein" and then the fourth installation, "hell we might as well just stay at castle wolfenstein now we're here"

out of that list, ill prob look at UT2. gawd, can someone kill counterstrike now please? that game breeds nothing but evil.

[Rodimus]

I believe uber said that it is the only game on his wishlist

[Maverick_3058]

He didn't; it's just rather heavily implied.

Most everything I've anticipated recently is out, but I'll say that I'm eagerly anticipating Dungeon Seige, as Chris Taylor is one of the few game designers that can tap into something new and make it interesting for almost any kind of gamer(the you-know-whos are amongst them, as well).
Hopefully he can indeed make a revolutionary RPG that can draw the impatient gaming types(I don't liek RPG's, k? ffs.) like myself.:3d:

[$iLk]

should be out in May or the first week of June, is the #1 game I want this year.

2nd will be Jedi Knight 2, and Imperium Galactica III is third.

The rest are pretty much on my "to buy" list.

[Griffon]

Impossible Creatures. At this point, I'm living for Impossible Creatures. It's probably unhealthy.

[Dukath]

of the games that i know will be released in 2002 i'm mainly looking forward to homm4.

[Alpha_1]

Hey Dukath,

If you like HOMM have you checked out Disciples Dark Prophecy? Strategy First has a demo available on the web site. I must say it is a pretty adictive game.


Silver Quasar,

I beilieve Uber was hinting at HW2 all along, he just is a subtle kind of guy. Right Uber?

For me HW2 is the only must have on the list, I may buy others but only HW2 is a must have.

[Tech]

Dungeon Siege (depends on system requirements)
IWD II
AOW II (not only cause their box cover is similar to the HW II poster ...)

[Kesoth]

No one waiting for EVE?.... I still havent got into beta :boohoo:

But I think IG3 will be well wort waiting for, the trailer is great.

[eadipus]

HOMM4, Warcraft III, GTA3 and UT2 will all be coming my way once i get my new PC. Halo if it comes out too, although i wasn't that impressed when i played it in EB.

[Stew]

Elder Scrolls III Morrowind
Unreal 2
Homeworld 2

[Vaarok]

Duke Forever.

And I'll take Manhattan Project as a filler until then. I grew up on the first three Duke games. First computer game I ever got was full version of DN, after father saw how much I loved Commander Keen.


Otherwise I'd like

JK2 (Dark Forces, Dark Forces2: JK, and now JK2: Jedi outcast? screwy name system...)
Halo
Sigma/Ic/whatever
UT2
NWN

[ÜberJumper]

Me??? Subtle??? NAHHHHH

[bluevorlon]

GTA3
Halo
IC
UT2

will all probably ending up on my shopping list sometime this year.

always try to get a few original games each year as well, there's always a game or two that manages to get released without my knowledge and then blows me away when I play the demo...

[Murph]

Im anxious for Dungeon Seige myself, as well as Fallout 3, which I doubt will be happening any time soon =[

[Mac_Bug]

IC
Imperium Galactica 3
Jedi Knights 2... no wait I hate FPS...
Warcraft III
EVE
C&C: Generals

Other than that I havent read a single game magazine in ages. Lately I've been occuping myself with the poor excuse for chinese entertainment called Fate of the Dragon, the English translation is hilarious, and thank god I can shut the narration off

Other than that there is worms, but that game is way too complicated to have 'quick' fun.

As for my wish list?

HW2
Freelancer
Duke Nukem (so that we can FINALLY GET THIS THING OVER)
TF 2 (SO THAT WE CAN STOP MENTIONING IT)
UT2 (you know my computer can't run that so)

[Walker]

Hooray, Freelancer no.2!

I'd have thought loads of people here would be interested, being spacey folks.

[Harmanoff]

So far a mere 3 people have listed Halo. Come on! It will be great i tell ya. Great!

Also looking forward to Homm4(i'm out to get you duk) and HW2. I'm interested in IC of course but still not too sure if i'll buy it.

[QuickSloth]

1) iC
2) Age of Mythology

I'm not too interested in much at the moment, but with the incredible lineup this year, I will probably end up getting another game or two.

[Rodimus]

but...i already have HALO

i will not be buyin it unless there is much more additional content for dah PC

[Clint]

grrr halo.

single player ticks me off!

some sort of saving bug keeps kicking me back an entire level everytime i save and quit.

If i have to do 'Truth and Reconciliation" again, i scream.

[ÜberJumper]

I luffors Halo

[crobato]

IL2 Sturmovik is a game that needs to be seen to be BELIEVED. It simulates everything right from the torque of the engines pushing against your joystick to the tiny bullet holes on your wings as bullets from a Messerschmitt whizz you by. Equally stunning is the faithful modeling of aircraft from the camouflage, flight characteristics, and performance data from historical information. You're going to appreciate who the hell Erich "The Black Devil of the Ukraine" Hartmann is.

It is the game that literally revived a weakening genre. Flight sims suddenly got hot again.


Imagine my happiness when they announced this:


http://gamespot.com/gamespot/stories...857469,00.html

The creators of the flight sim IL-2 Sturmovik are now working on a 3D real-time strategy game.

At the ongoing Game Developers Conference, GameSpot caught up with Nikolay Baryshnikov from Moscow-based game publisher 1C to speak about its forthcoming projects, one of which was revealed to be a World War II-themed 3D real-time strategy game from Maddox Games. The developer's recent flight combat simulation, IL-2 Sturmovik, earned widespread acclaim and numerous awards, including GameSpot's award for Best Simulation of 2001. But Maddox Games is now shifting gears from the extremely realistic IL-2 Sturmovik to what was succinctly described as a highly accessible and approachable 3D RTS set during World War II. The game will actually use a modified version of the 3D engine used for IL-2 Sturmovik.
Maddox's RTS game will be officially unveiled at the forthcoming E3 in May. It will be among 1C's first publishing ventures in the United States, though the company's first release on these shores will be Jazz and Faust, a graphical adventure game. We'll soon have a video interview with Baryshnikov in which he discusses these games and more.


I'm also looking forward to the new Mechwarrior 4 Black Knight paks, in which new multiplayer maps and 8 mechs, including the Cauldron Born, the Masakari, the Zeus,the Kodiak, and the Highlander.

[crobato]

Did I also tell you Iwant Starfleet Command 3?

[skywalker]

You do realize that HW2 is not coming out this year or most likely next...

I think that halo will rock on the pc, even if only for the mp aspect. That is all that it lacks. Of course that depends on whether xbox official mp support gets out....
they will probably have additional stuff and they better have 200+ people supportable on a server...

[Liberator]

Hasn't really been anything since Yuri's Revenge came out that I'd put my money down for.

Upcoming...
HW2, duh!
UT2
Unreal 2
Q4
D3
C&C: Generals
C&C: Tiberian (whatever it is?!?!?)
Halos kind of a given(should have done a simul-release tho)

[Harmanoff]

There wont be. But.. you'll be able to play the game the way an fps should be played: with mouse and keyboard. I am not buying the whole shebang about how ingenious the xbox gamepads are. No way.

And i'm not buying the xbox to find out so don't bother trying to convince me. :square:

[Tronno]

For all it's worth...

Dungeon Siege
U2/UT2
Halo
TF2
C&C Generals looks promising, but I've never been a fan of Westwood's games.

Also, the obligatory HW2 and iC mention... who can ever forget them? Real nice stuff right there.

[Steel Guy]

...Halo
For the record, I have no repect for the x box and its house sized controller.

[Noname_MiB]

NWN
WCIII (come on... its blizzard!)
Dungeon Siege
TF2 (heh we know thats not happening in the next... decade or so)
Duke Nuken 4ever (4ever to make...)
UT2/U2
Total Annihilation 2 (dunno when its being released, but if its half as good and customizable as the first ill love it[still cavedog not making it ])
C&C Tiberium Twilight
HW2/IC

C&C Generals looks pretty good, but i want continuity damn it! And HALO already sold its soul to microsoft...

For the record, I have no repect for the x box and its house sized controller.

amen to that

[ÜberJumper]

I like the X-box controller...

[Alpha_Monkey]

Just what exactly is C&C Generals?
A good C&C game?

*blinks in disbelief*

Please...go on...

[Noname_MiB]

its a new C&C game not based on the Tiberian or Red-Alert Timeline (hopefully to be merged soon ). Its a 3D-RTS set in like 20 years time, where China, the US, and some terrorist group are at war. ill see if i can find ya a page with screenshots (seeing as thats pretty much all thats been released last i checked)

[edit] heres da link http://www.planetcnc.com/generals/

Wow, they must've busted lobes thinking that one up.

[Noname_MiB]

hehe sounds alot like the failed World War III: Black Gold, just china being much more likely than russia

[Mokona]

Hmm my picks:

Like Uber, I am hoping that HW2 comes out this year...

Besides that, the games I'm MOST looking forward to are:


Master of Orion 3
Imperium Galactica 3
Dungeon Siege/NWN (would like to see how each compare)
Morrowind
WarCraft 3

Stuff that I'm strongly interested in but not as much as the previous mentions:
Impossible Creatures, Freedom Force

[Mokona]

Re: China and the States being allies in new C&C


Yeah but this is the first game that I've heard of which has the US and China as actual allies..

:P

[Walker]

How much do you want to bet they end up fighting?

[Thaum]

NWN

HW2

The medieval sequel to Shogun: Total War (The name eludes me at the moment, but it is coming out towards the end of the year)

Star Fleet Command 3 (If they ever start making it)

MOO 3

BTW crobato I don’t know if I asked you this before, but are u the same crobato that posts in the Fan fiction part of the Taldren forums (u suggesting SFC 3 put me on to the connection)?
