Your Anticipated Games of 2012

[NokkonWud]

My most anticipated is Halo 4, which should surprise absolutely nobody. It looks fantastic, they're worked close to the community and where they've made changes it seems like they've done so with care and good reason. Time will tell, but I am very confident.

The others would be Need for Speed: Most Wanted and Dishonored.

I didn't enjoy Burnout Paradise like I did Burnout Revenge. It was good, but didn't feel great, but with Autolog and a full community here I will be running some great nights (look for the official game nights schedule this weekend) which will provide a great time.

Dishonored looks fantastic. It looks to be an amalgamation of BioShock, Half-Life 2 and Hitman with some extras added. This is a good thing and could well be a huge success. I've steered clear of any and everything to do with this game for months now.

There are others I'll no doubt pick up, Hitman: Absolution, ZoE HD collection, Dead or Alive 5, Assassin's Creed 3, Resident Evil 6, Forza Horizon and so on, but the above are my 'big 3'.

[Alex79]

Is Halo 4 confirmed 360 or it is going to be next-gen launch do we think?

[Alex79]

Oh, November 6th lol.

[NokkonWud]

Haha, yeah, it's 360 only. It's had a lot of footage and information lately. Worth checking out for sure.

[Mr Nicey]

Borderlands 2 is my only preorder this year and god am I looking forward to it.

But due to some annoying instances I will get the Pre order but might not get a chance to play it for the first couple of weeks.

Other then this my only other 'must have' game (Anarchy Reigns) got put back to 2013

[Donk]

Only one game I'm psyched for... X-COM!

edit: With their latest stretch goal... Planetary Annihilation! GALACTIC WAR

[Dante Fireseed]

Yeah, X-com is my most anticipated game by far for 2012 and the only day one perch for me really.

I'm also looking forward immensely to borderlands 2, hitman and NFS.

[General Aquila]

Hitman: Absolution
AC3

That is it, largely as i haven't played any of the Hitman franchise at all and I'm a big Assassin's Creed fan. Sleeping Dogs is proving awesome, especially since we're used to one type of open world game.

[AndyKurosaki]

The Hitman Classics Collection is out this Xmas, if you've never played the series I'd certainly recommend renting that. Personally I'll buy it as it's £20-ish quid.

[Indiana747]

I've got Borderlands 2 and Far Cry 3 pre-ordered, so i guess they are my most anticipated. They will be the only two full price games i will have bought this year. Curious about Dishonoured and Resi 6, but curious is all i am at the minute.
Bioshock Infinite was a deffo for me as well this year till it was pushed back to 2013 obviously.

[AndyKurosaki]

I thought Far Cry 3 was delayed til next year as well? Could be wrong though.

[mikeleddy83]

Okami HD
Resident Evil 6 (pending first reviews - don't normally base it on this but RE5 stung me a little)
Professor Layton and the Miracle Mask
Dead or Alive 5

[Indiana747]

Unless Amazon are tellin me porky pies, its supposed to be a dispatch date of November 30th.

[NokkonWud]

Pretty sure it's still a 2012 release at the end of November as Don said.

[dezm0nd]

Joe Danger The Movie is out this week. Loved the first xbla title so I should pick this up but due to black mesa source on its way I think my time will be spent there first.

[ratsoalbion]

JD2: The Movie is another insta-purchase for me - roll on Friday!

[NokkonWud]

I'm still not sure whether I'll pick it up. I have Joe Danger and I think the problem I had is that I wanted it to be like Trials HD and played it as such when it's a totally different game. It just felt very average to me, which annoyed me as it's the kind of game I love. Heard a lot of people raving about it so I think I missed something which is what's leading me towards buying JD2: The Movie. Hopefully it will be great.

[ratsoalbion]

Joe Danger is a brilliant game, and absolutely nothing whatsoever like Trials. Equally good, totally different experience.

[Buckled Kipper]

Jet Set Radio on the Vita. Should be great for handheld gaming.

[Christoph84]

Definitely XCOM for me, day booked off work on launch day.
