. And I won't be making any bets on which ones will actually come out, and which ones will end up being released in 2008 or later.
I'm scared of how it'll come out with Bethesda behind it, they are'nt known for long and intricate plots or witty in-game repartee (Though the game should look amazing with an upgraded Oblivion engine).Enigma wrote:Fallout 3? I hope it is true.

Right...I mean Fallout 3 has been in the making since 2004 and Bethesda has always been good at keeping its release promises, right? . . . Right?
Sorry, I was unclear, they do make good background fluff, but the plots tend towards Black and white (Rather like Bioware games without Black isle output [Dark sider=Thug, Good=Idiot Paladin]), theres almost no speech/dialogues (Especially now that they've decided to add voice acting to every line, which is a hideous setback to massive amounts of dialogue as is the Fallout norm if you want it), the characters are'nt as interesting and they haven't shown the black humour so basic to the Fallout games.I really have to disagree with DEATH about Bethesda and plots in their games. Sure, they may be rather straightforward and simple, but they've always made an excellent job in fleshing out the gameworld with detailed and believeable background information. I'd be most worried about the characters.

hallelujah sweet adventureing Sujenus. That and Halo 2 + Jade empire are finally coming to the pc (Though I'll need to wait for someone to hack Halo 2 so that I can use it without Vista) 
I seriously doubt Dragon Age will be out this year. In 1UP's preview, they state that Bioware is aiming for a winter 2007/spring 2008 release, and since games always get pushed back, I'll be happy if we have it by summer 2008. Dragon Age is definitely in the top three of my most wanted games list, right up there with Supreme Commander and Crysis.Oberleutnant wrote:*spasms* 2007 promises to be a major year in gaming!

They managed to get Battle for Middle Earth II on the 360. There's also the fact that the 360 uses USB ports, so it wouldn't be much of a stretch for people to use a mouse and keyboard setup.LaserRifleofDoom wrote:How is C&C3 going to be multi-platform? RTS games don't work on consoles.
You say that but have game developers YET grown a brain stem and realize that they can attract many PC gamers and FPS'ers to their product if they just add this additional control scheme?Losonti Tokash wrote:They managed to get Battle for Middle Earth II on the 360.

As for why someone wouldn't just play on a PC instead, I don't have $1500 lying around to build a new computer with.
Can it seriously be that difficult to add more menu's for the controls in games?
I cannot believe that they would say "you should totally buy a keyboard and mouse to play this game". They're going to hack it down to where the normal joypad is a good enough interface.Losonti Tokash wrote:They managed to get Battle for Middle Earth II on the 360.

I have no answer for you. It couldn't be that hard, since 9 times out of 10 it's just a port and the original version obviously already has mouse and keyboard support. Maybe the best explanation is that they simply assume console gamers don't have either.SPC Brungardt wrote:You say that but have game developers YET grown a brain stem and realize that they can attract many PC gamers and FPS'ers to their product if they just add this additional control scheme?Losonti Tokash wrote:There's also the fact that the 360 uses USB ports, so it wouldn't be much of a stretch for people to use a mouse and keyboard setup.
It was a very unimpressive game. I only mention it because while the game itself was meh, apparently they managed to port it effectively.Do you play BfME2 on the 360? What's that like?
