Forums - Microsoft - Which games will live up to their hype?

I think Alan wake has alot of promise, but there isn't alot of information right now, so, I don't know. http://www.xbox.com/en-US/games/a/alanwake/

Too human looks like it could be disapointing, so I don't think it will  live up to the hype (it has bad luck with the press anyway) http://www.xbox.com/en-US/games/t/toohuman/

Fable 2, YES, YES, YES, yes, YES! It will live up to the hype. To awesome not to. http://www.xbox.com/en-US/games/f/fable2/

 Halo wars:  it will live up for RTS fans' expectations, but the 12-year-old fps halo fans will be cussing on xbox live for months afterwards about how it sucks. http://www.xbox.com/en-US/games/h/halowars/

Gears of war 2: I think it will be good, just read a preview for it in GI, they're supposed to be fixing the story this time so that it will actually be good. http://www.xbox.com/en-US/games/splash/g/gearsofwar2/

Ninja gaiden 2, i don't know. http://www.xbox.com/en-US/games/splash/n/ninjagaiden2/

Infinite Undiscovery, i think it will be awesome, great combat and beautiful graphics. (also, with this taking so long, it can't be bad, right?) http://www.xbox.com/en-US/games/i/infiniteundiscoveryxbox360/

 COD5 will be a massive disapointment, with it not being developed by infinity ward and all of that.

Bionic Commando: Will suck!!!!!!!!!  Just doesn't seem right, but it does look okay visually.

Bionic commando Rearmed: will not suck.

http://www.gamespot.com/xbox360/action/bioniccommandore/index.html?tag=result;title;8

Battlefield: bad company will live up to the hype.  It looks amazing and DICE is usually a reliable company that makes great games http://www.xbox.com/en-US/games/b/badcompany/

Iron Man:  No hype, but I think it will be good (if what they promise is true) if not, then it will suck. http://www.xbox.com/en-US/games/i/ironman/

Tiberium, (the C&C FPS)  will not live up to the hype, from what I've seen it doesn't look like it will advance the already crowded genre.

 UPDATE: Fracture will suck.  The shooting looks boring and the game seems to concentrate too much on the fracture grenades.

And yes, I know this will come back to bite me in the ass.

I think Fable 2 and Gears of War 2 will based on what we've seen, and what limited previews have been done. I really hope Alan Wake is great, but I haven't heard anything on it in a long time. I have no idea about the others.



X360

Alan Wake: Up in the air. It could be the greatest thing since sliced bread, and it could be mediocre. Who knows.

Too Human: It's a Diablo clone. Diablo clones never live up to the hype. So, NO.

Fable 2: Peter Molyneux. LOL. NO.

Halo Wars: Will likely introduce intuitive RTS controls to console gamers, and it's Halo-branded, so they obviously have high hopes behind it. I'll have to say YES.

Gears of War 2: Likely the exact same thing as last time. NO.

Ninja Gaiden 2: Ninja Gaiden 1, in all its various forms, kicked ass. So did Ninja Gaiden DS. YES.

Infinite Undiscovery: I don't even know what this is, so it can't be hyped much.


PS3

Metal Gear Solid 4: The hype for this is so huge that there's no chance it can live up to it all. But that's not to say that it won't be a good, or even excellent, game. NO.

LittleBigPlanet: A gimmicky game with pretty graphics that people will forget about a year after its release. NO.

Killzone 2: Uh... right. NO.

Resistance 2: If Insomniac's behind it, then it has to be good. They've never disappointed on a single game yet. YES.

Valkyria Chronicles: Just like every other next-gen JRPG thus far, JRPG fanboys will eat it up; everyone else won't care because it's basically a prettier version of a last-gen game. NO.

White Knight Story: Ditto. NO.

FFXIII: Really a toss-up. I don't have much faith in Square to innovate at all and actually make the underlying game good, but they could pull off something interesting.


WII

Uh... wait, there's no hyped Wii games. Nevermind.



"'Casual games' are something the 'Game Industry' invented to explain away the Wii success instead of actually listening or looking at what Nintendo did. There is no 'casual strategy' from Nintendo. 'Accessible strategy', yes, but ‘casual gamers’ is just the 'Game Industry''s polite way of saying what they feel: 'retarded gamers'."

Fable 2 = Hopefully (Press is putting so many expectations)
Gears of War 2 = Yes (If they deliver more of the same it would still be good)
Alan Wake = Yes (Remedy... Enough said)
Too Human = Hopefully (I hope this one does well but a bad rep)
Halo Wars = No (The wrong people will end up buying it and complain)
Left 4 Dead = Yes (Looks really fun)
Infinite Undiscovery = Yes (But it won't sell well in Japan...)
Banjo Kazooie 3 = Yes (Rare will be back)
Splinter Cell Conviction = Hopefully (But, I'm really worried abut it, glad ubisoft delayed it)
Huxley = Yes (Looks great)
Ninja Gaiden II = No (Previews are not glowing)



Fable 2 and Gears of War 2 and of course Ninja Gaiden 2



Around the Network

I think Gears of War 2, Fable 2, Ninja Gaiden 2, and Alan Wake will live up to the hype. I don't know about Too Human.



I think Fallout 3 will live upto the hype and then some. Right now, Fallout 3 is my most-anticipated game of the year.



Back from the dead, I'm afraid.

Killzone 2, Resistance 2, MGS4, GTA4



halo wars, fable 2, ng 2, alan wake, too human, wks, = lairs

i dunno what u guys r saying about killzone 2. have you even looked at the gameplay? or r u judging the game n the first 1?



C'mon now Preferences....I don't think there's any chance that all those games are going to be at the same level of epic fail that was Lair. Also you put WKS on there.....you bastard, take it back! ; ;
