| Dodece said: There are a few titles I would like to produce for consideration. I know people will just name off the usual suspects, but I believe these games are being under appreciated. I also think they are going to surprise a great many posters. These are my sleeper hits. Kingdom Under Fire Circle of Doom. Naruto Rise of the Ninja Huxley. Circle of Doom reads like Oblivion meets Bioshock. I expect great things from this title especially since it is supposed to fall this holiday season. The graphics look sweet. The combat looks fun, and it looks like its deep enough to be entertaining without getting mundane. The co-op mode also looks to be quite entertaining. Call it a dungeon crawler, but online and single player make this game look very good. Naruto is a license to print money. What more needs to be said. A very popular franchise, and this game frees you up somewhat to move around the world. Personally I do not like locked arena combat. Thankfully there seems to be a lot more to this game. Using a lot of different elements. This might be the Naruto game that fans of the series will feel a need to purchase. Huxley simply cannot be ignored. A MMOFPS that makes use of the unreal engine in a large persistent world basically begs the hardcore player to join. Personally I doubt we will see it this year no matter what the developers says. However it could be one hell of an experience. |
Huxley really intrigues me. I have high hopes for the game, and if it turns out anything like how its being described, it will be solely responsible for ending my personal ban on playing MMOs. I love the idea of a FPS MMO where you are a single solider in a large war instead of an invincible killing machine who single-handedly wins battles. It's co-op and competitive online play tied into one.
And if they market itcorrectly, I think Huxley will create more inroads to Asia for Microsoft than even Lost Odyssey. I imagine the Japanese will largely ignore it -- but the huge gaming population of Korea will probably find a lot to like about the game.
I've preordered KOF: Circle of Doom, just because I'm addicted to online co-op and this reminds me of a next-gen Gauntlet -- a hack-and-slash RPG where each individual character has unique strengths instead of everyone being the same.
However, it's the only game of your suggestions that I don't even have in my 'Outside Shot' list, just because it's very close to release and I'm not seeing any hype for it. I think most people aren't even aware it's out there.
