Games at E3 2005 List

[Wizard]

I want to have S.T.A.L.K.E.R. right now. Please?

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

Yeah, but I don't like the rumors of why it's been delayed. They say that the game is huge but there is hardly any gameplay.

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

I can sum it up quiet well.

 

Think of it as an FPS game with a Diablo 2 Equipment menu.

Warhammer 40,000: Dawn of War - Winter Assault (PC)

 

My eyes caught on this. The first Warhammer 40k was awesome, I hope the next release will be better.

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

It's not the first Warhammer 40k, it's the first Dawn of War.

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

Yep. Chaos Gate was awesome too, but the trick to make it run in XP requires making the cultists not attack. :\

 

Winter Assault is supposed to have a scratch-built, fully playable Imperial Guard army, nice and tank-heavy like they should be. While another army sounds good, I'm not sure I would have picked the I. Guard. I guess they're probably the easiest to make (and making an entirely new army is A TON of work in that game), but the Tau, Tyranids, or almost anyone else would have been more interesting I think.

 

 

 

And my list of "to look ats" for E3:

 

These are all sequels or addons to games I know and love, so there's no avoiding these. Even if some of them *coughhitmancough* looks like cheap bastardizations of a franchise. Advance Wars DS might be the game that convinces me to get a DS someday, so I have to check it out:

The Elder Scrolls: Oblivion (Next-Gen, PC)

Warhammer 40,000: Dawn of War - Winter Assault (PC)

The Sims 2: Nightlife (PC)

Hitman: Blood Money (PC, PS2, Xbox)

Harvest Moon: Another Wonderful Life (Cube)

Harvest Moon: More Friends of Mineral Town (GBA)

Advance Wars DS (DS)

Fire Emblem: Souen no Kiseki (Cube)

Fire Emblem: The Sacred Stones (GBA)

 

The previous iterations of these titles had at least some redeeming quality about them, so I have to check out the sequels:

Call of Duty 2 (PC)

Battlefield 2 (PC)

Black & White 2 (PC)

Soulcalibur III (PS2)

 

The ideas behind these intrigue me. I want to see if they're going to be worthwhile or just wasted ideas. And Killer 7 is STILL not out, wtf?

The Movies (PC, PS2, Xbox)

Samurai Western (PS2)

Killer 7 (Cube, PS2)

Dungeons & Dragons Online (PC)

Advent Rising (PC, Xbox)

 

The first two look like psuedo-returns to old school beat'em up gameplay. I'm expecting to be dissapointed, but I at least want to look. Gauntlet looks like it might be a decent party-game dungeon crawl.

Beat Down: Fists of Vengeance (PS2, Xbox)

Mortal Kombat: Shaolin Monks (PS2, Xbox)

Gauntlet: Seven Sorrows (PS2, Xbox)

 

I have no idea what any of these are. The nintendo games are on there because the big N tends to do unusual things, and these sound like they might be that kind of title. Tactica Online caught my attention by combining the word "online" with the idea of "tactics."

Tactica Online (PC)

Odama (Cube)

Nintendogs (DS)

 

Anything by Koei must be at least looked at. And one of them says "online?" Interesting.

Colosseum: Road to Freedom (PS2)

Romance of the Three Kingdoms X (PS2)

Uncharted Waters Online (PC)

I hope not.

 

Wait, I am a little confused here. Is STALKER based on the Cherbobyl

or is it FEAR? I can't remember

S.T.A.L.K.E.R. is based on the Chernobyl disaster. FEAR is the heavily based japanese horror fps.
