| Legend11 said: I think people need to understand why those games made the list and the ones some of the people are mentioning here didn't. Take SSBB and Metroid Prime: 3 for example, what big surprises would people be anticipating for them? We've all see the screenshots of them and know what to expect, is anyone really anticipating any big surprises? A surprise playable character in SSBB? Is that enough for it to make a list with games that we've never seen playable before or that have a major thing about them that everyone is wondering about? No I didn't think so. Bioshock and Mass Effect, I think it's safe to say everyone has seen the screenshots and trailers for them and it's not like there will be any shocking surprises for them either. The same with Lair, Haze, and Heavenly Sword we've already seen trailers and screenshots and know what to expect. Does anyone expect anything more about them that we already haven't already learned? I'm sure there are some people that're saying "But wait, Halo 3 made the list and it's the same old same old", true but nobody really knows what it looks like in single player and that's why it made the list. Super Mario Galaxy, well everyone is curious to see what affect it has on play mechanics to move the game's setting into space. Killzone? Nobody knows what it looks like now and everyone is waiting to see how it's turning out. Assassin's Creed, there hasn't been a playable demo and everyone wants to know if the game is a bust or not. The only games I feel shouldn't have made the list are Uncharted because we already have more than enough information about it so there isn't any more surprises and Call of Duty 4 because even though there is some stuff we're not sure about it's probably not enough to justify putting it on the list. I think Too Human should have been on it because we have no idea if it's going to be good or one of the biggest flops in gaming history. |
A few things in this post to comment on:
SSBB is promised to have a robust new single player mode that we have seen nothing of. If Halo 3's counts then so does Brawl's. Not to mention SSBB actually has a lot of major features not anounced (thanks to the beta we already know everything about Halo's multiplayer). Things like online, major character anouncements (Sonic for example) or amazing new trailers could easily be a big deal, especially considering this will be more than likely the best selling hardcore game on the Wii.
Things that shouldn't be on here: Uncharted, Call of Duty 4, Rock Band. Those 3 games I think are pretty worthless for anticipation. Killzone I'll accept (because for some reason the internet latched onto a CGI trailer...). Assasin's Creed should certainly be there. Metroid Prime I agree we already know most of so it shouldn't be. Here is what my list of estimated E3 information anticipation would look like:
1. GTA IV
2. Super Smash Bros. Brawl
3. Halo 3
4. MGS4
5. Mario Kart
6. Super Mario Galaxy
7. Killzone 2
8. Starcraft 2
9. Phantom Hourglass
10. Assasin's Creed
Please note: There aren't enough PS3 owners in the world for Killzone 2 to deserve anywhere near a top spot on anticipation. I'd say that list is a fair anticipation estimation given the general demographics, and the importance and sales of those games. MGS4 is probably a little high but I love MGS and I'm not dropping it >_>
I'm not saying it's bad because of a lack of Wii games specifically, it's just bad overall. The ratings are unrealistic and half the games included were horrible (CoD4... *throws up*).
Note: I edited it to add Halo back in, as I feel it really does deserve it's spot. Sticking with this final list.
