I'm Worried!

Why I hear you ask?

Well, I'm worried for Games.

Upcoming and newly released games that will fall into obscurity.

Below is my opinion on games that I feel are set too fall, might fall and will not fall into obscurity. This is just my opinion, reasons are various but mainly due to one point...

We seem to be in a wealth of quality games but will you buy all of the below? Probably not. You’re more likely to buy one or two and play them for longer.

The below includes console and PC games but thought I'd post it here. I appreciate some were released quite a while ago but in the past I felt games had a longer shelf life.

Set too Fall

MOH:Airborne
ET:QW
Super Paper Mario
Stranglehold

Might Fall
Crysis (Controversial, I know)
COH: Opposing Fronts
Assassins Creed
BioShock
Gears Of War (PC)
World In Conflict

Won't Fall
TF2
Halo 3
Fifa 08 (Always sells)
Pro Evo 08 (Always sells)
FM08 (Always sells)
COD4
HL2:EP2 (Won't because of the Orange Box)

Some controversial entries above but would love to hear from others about this and your lists.

Crysis (Controversial, I know) (don't know if ill get it yet)
COH: Opposing Fronts (don't know if ill get it yet)
Assassins Creed ( pre order)
BioShock ( have it)


Won't Fall
TF2 ( beta)
COD4 ( pre order)
HL2:EP2 (Won't because of the Orange Box) (have it)

^ i have most of these games already + on pre order
 
Well perhaps Mp4 you’re in the minority, I don't know.

But I very much doubt I'll have the cash to buy all those over a short period.

More likely purchase when reduced in price, not when the developer wants us to buy it... Games are reduced in price when they are in obscurity. And when games cost millions of pounds to make...
 
Depends what games or demos are out usually ,got Bioshock as well it was just out + all mates had it! ..so i had to get it :)

Airbourne demo came out and tbh i loved it so bought it.

Then bloody Orange box came out .. so i bought that! :P .. then wanted a new Wii game so got paper Mario :o + i’ve also bought 2 dvds this month also ,

so at an estimate over 2 months i’ve spent at least £130 ish on games (not inc dvds)

Agree with most but do hope Gears Of War PC and Crysis do well.

Although I have to disagree with Bioshock for a game without multiplayer it has already done it's job reached the sales targets, etc and has been enjoyed my millions. What else can you expect from that game it did just about everything right.
 
The new CoH will not fail

The rest of your list is solid, though :)
 
Super Paper Mario is just tripe, what the hell nintendo were thinking bringing out a console that basically has worse graphics than the N64 god only knows...

Thankfully I won my Wii and it came with sonic the hedgehog. I want you to play this game just so that you can understand that this game has the worst graphics ever witnessed on a 'modern' games console.

Honestly I have seen better 3d effects on a Snes using that 3D chip they had lol.

Its just crap crap crap!

Maybe because unlike loads of games out there with great graphics it is actually fun to play?
 
ETQW wont fall , the game rocks, the kids just need to lower the settings so it runs smooth.. theres no other multiplay like it!!!
Crysis will do well (single player) good engine, amazing graphics (multi boring as hell after the weapons/buy tanks fluff wears off)
Halo .. Fall. Anything after the great first game is just rehashed crap:o
 
Bioshock? How did you come to this conclusion?

I imagine Crysis will be more than fine, regardless of how the game turns out. I'l buy it even if it just an expensive tech demo.

Judging by the Betas, I don't really think ET:QW will do all that well. Nor do I think it deserves to.

I got paper mario the other day, I gotta say it's hilarious. I just finished a chapter that takes a laugh at the stereotypical 'nerd'. I was howling with laughter the entire time.

I also seem to have at least 1 game out of each of those 'categories' you drew up.
 
How can you say stranglehold will fall?

The demo alone is better than most games i've played lol

Never had so much fun in a demo in ages :p
 
COH expansion will be fine. World in conflict will be fine. Gears of War will be fine.

The rest - we will have to wait and see.

I know I always bash Stranglehold but it's because I can't fathom comments like this :D It was the worst demo I've played in a long time. I mean, I loved Max payne, love John Woo stylee stuff, but the game? Completly nulled any interest I had in it.

How do people reckon UT3 will do? better than UT2k4 or another divide in the franchise (UT -> UT2k4 -> UT3) ? Or just no uptake.
