Kevin's Watch

am anxiously awaiting Elder Scrolls IV and Gothic III
(and playing Vampire the Masquerade:Bloodlines while I wait)

Shadow of the Colossuses for the PS2 - by the same team that created Ico.

I'm right there with you. Horribly dissapointed yesterday to find that they had pushed this back until October 18th. Oh well. At least it might work well.

Awaiting Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion with bated breath

Praying for Baldur's Gate III (although I am not sure how they can pull that off. Baldur's Gate II expansion CD case reads "the final chapter." And it did kind of end the story....)

Also looking forward to another Mechwarrior game (and hoping another actually comes out)

When the PS3 comes out in Britain, I want:
Metal Gear Solid 4
Resident Evil 5
Final Fantasy 12

Can't wait.

Just preordered Elder Scrolls Oblivion.

Got 69$ in store credit at my local EB. Will use it for collector's edition of Elder Scrolls IV.

Breath of Fire 3 for PSP.

Ignored Star Wars: Empire at War until this morning when one of my brothers told me it wasn't an RTS but an empire-building game (pardon the pun).

Diablo III

Oblivion.

Hmm.. Lord of the rings online - been waiting for this one for what seems like ages - Beta about to start - perhaps I shall get lucky....

Dawn of War: Dark Crusade,

Gothic 3 - this looks and sounds much better than Oblivion.

Just watched a seven minute movie for Bioshock, the spiritual successor to System Shock 2. I love so many things about it: the RPG/inventory elements, the dynamic, non-scripted environment, various combat options (such as manipulating your enemies to fight themselves instead). There's going to be extensive modification of not only weapons but your character's attributes. And oh--it's all in an underwater, retro-1930s setting.

This game could be the first evolutionary step for shooters since Deus Ex. It also promises to be pretty freaking scary, as again, it's made by the System Shock folks.

Hopefully I won't have to upgrade, as it doesn't look anymore taxing than Doom 3 or Half-Life 2.

Is this planned?!!

At this point nothing's certain (except that Diablo makes a TON of money and Blizzard would be fools not to make another one).


Rumors were circulating that the Blizzard website put out a "now hiring" ad for people experienced in RTS development. Again, nothing in stone, but I'd expect a StarCraft 2 before a new Diablo. Either game being announced would make me extremely giddy.

I'm picking up Dawn of War: Dark Crusade after work this afternoon.

After watching videos etc, i am really looking forward to the Nintendo Wii now.

A lot of speculation comes from the reactions of Blizzard employees when they've been quizzed. Anyone asking about World of Starcraft gets a very definite "we aren't going to be doing that" but when they ask about Starcraft 2 the usual response is more like "there are currently no plans for Starcraft 2" and they are far more coy when Diablo 3 crops up, saying things like "no comment" and "I'm not able to discuss that".

I'm expecting Diablo 3 to be the next major Blizzard release, rumour is that it will again have no subscription fee and will serve to compete directly with Guild Wars. If I had shares in NCsoft, I'd be selling them I think!
