Deus Ex 3.


Just by reading interviews of the developers, I got real hope. And it's rare.

Wouldn''t really call Mechwarrior a sequel, since they plan to restart the franchise and ditch the MS-created Mechwarrior legacy. But yeah, I'd like to see what those former FASA folks come up with.

I also was looking forward to FEAR2 (can we mention sequels already released? ;) )

I loved Lineage2 when it first came out for it's totally stunning visuals, but so did many others and that style got copied over and over and over and I just can't stand seeing L2 style graphics any longer, as pretty as they are. Besides classic fantasy for me has something raw archetype celtic deep down, north/middle european rooted, mixing that with asian anime style with fan service panty shots just totally kills it for me. L2 also had the hardest level grind in the universe. Still Aion looks fun and NCSoft definately knows how to create atmosphere, so I guess I will end up being curious and try it anyway :)

There is one other possible light on the horizont, although not exactly classic fantasy but promissing enough: http://www.swtor.com/

Dito. And on my list Deus Ex 3 is followed by all announced non-MMORPG-games from Blizzard and Half Life 2 Episode 3.

If "Torchlight" counts as a sequel, then I throw Risen in.

Oh, and Thief 3. A real Thief 3, not "Deadly Shadows" or "THIAF".

Ah yes Thief 3 is made by a new team in the same pole of Eidos than the team making Deus Ex 3. Big hopes too for Thief 3. It HAVE to be hardcore.

Just finished SOMI SE last night on my 360. The credits at the end flashed (possibly paraphrasing...it was very late) "Guybrush Threepwood will return" about 20 times, so I would expect the series to be continued.

I'd personally love a Grim Fandango SE.

I have a feeling porting the other SCUMM games (which Grim isn't one actually) wouldn't be too hard, so depending on how well SOMI does we might see more?

Another Gothic would indeed be cool jacmoe, but I still haven't tried the 3rd one yet (I heard good things though) :).

I like Gothic 3 - what's wrong with it? :)
Granted: it's not as good as the first two.
But I enjoyed it.

Absolutely and I noticed that. Although it should of said "Turn off your computer and go to bed" to keep with the original.

I'm interested to see if they are going to make over Monkey Island 3 and 4. The 3rd one already has audio, and has hires graphics - perhaps it will be a bit of a tidy up; or if we are lucky a graphics make over.

Monkey Island 4 will be really interesting since it uses a different engine (GrimE) and is in 3D, Perhaps they are are eyeing Ogre right now for an upgrade. ;)

Hm ... Apart from the bugs: it lacks story, the characters are shallow, the endings suck, Xardas' character was completely changed, the women (meshes, voices, characters) are ridiculous, the orcs were changed (in regard to the precessors) in a way I just don't like, the orcs have black beady eyes, the quests are really bad (kill this, get that - never anything other or interesting), Nordmar is just killing one million monsters, the zombies were changed (why do they fight with sticks?! and why are they so fast now?!), the reputation system isn't interesting as the quests are bland, the big smelting furnace of Nordmar plus the cave is bad designed, every city is just a copy of another city, there is no linear story to hold them together, it's too much hack'n'slay, swamp weed also grows in the desert, nearly all heads are ugly modelled (ugh, how I hate the guy who made Thorus), combat totally sucks now (even with the latest "community patch", whose mere existence tells enough), ...

BTW, for those who really are waiting for Gothic 4: They (not the original developer, mind you) renamed it to "ArcaniA: A Gothic Tale". And I'm pretty sure they do all they can to make it even more mainstream. Argh.

Yup, following it since quite a while and it is good to see they are up and running again after some downtime (rumors had it SOE shut them down after someone advertised the project on the official EQ forums) :)

100% agreement. It is as if Piranha Bytes forgot what the essence of Gothic was when they made G3. Luckily they seem to remember now, since what I've seen from Risen so far is very encouraging.

So Risen is the sequel I'm looking forward to the most.

I don't expect anything from Arcania. A stupid Click-To-Kill combat system, radar map are signs of mainstreaming the Gothic line indeed. They also seem to go for an ESRB Teen rating, while Risen probably will be ESRB Mature.

I agree very much that Gothic 3 wasn't as good as the first two.
The same thing could be said about Elder Scrolls IV.
That doesn't mean - to me - that's it's a bad game. A disappointment, yes.
Gothic 3 is better than Oblivion in my book.
Let's hope the next iteration improves. :)

One of the sequels I most want (but will never get) would be Arx Fatalis 2. But they decided to drop the first person rpg market and do action games like Dark Messiah and now The Crossing instead. :(
If you've never tried Arx, it's basically Ultima Underworld 3, with mouse gesture spell casting.
So instead I'm waiting for Deus Ex 3 and Thief 4 (or Deus Ex 2 and Thief 3 if you don't count Deus Ex Invisible War and Thief Deadly Shadows as DE 2 and Thief 3 respectively).

Also Stalker Call of Pripyat and DCS A10 are on my waiting list.

Yeah, Arx Fatalis 2 would be cool. AF was another dark and very immersive game.
