E3 2012: Anticipated Games

[Hanamaru Kunikida]

Following is a list of 50 games comprised of games already announced, games that have gone forgotten, and games that have yet to be announced but we can still be hopeful for! Sadly since the limit is 15 options, I won't add a poll but you can always post your favorites!

If it really annoys people, I will spoiler the list otherwise it will remain "unspoiled" as I think it looks better this way for this kind of thread.

[Velvet_Nightmare]

Some good-looking titles I'm excited for.

Homefront 2 surprises me, wonder if they'll continue the story from the first game.
Can't wait for Sleeping Dogs, LOVED True Crime: LA.
Me and my gf will have a blast with Borderlands 2. Hopefully they'll allow us to play splitscreen and with someone else over the net this time.

[Hanamaru Kunikida]

The Last Guardian - Two of the most amazing games ever on the PS2 (ICO and Shadow of the Colussus were made by the guys making The Last Guardian...so it's officially great in my book.
Borderlands 2 - Borderlands was just fun. 'Nuff said.
Sleeping Dogs - I had lots of playing both True Crimes.
Assassin's Creed III
Final Fantasy Versus-XIII
The Last of Us - MADE BY NAUGHTY DOG!!!!
Dragon's Crown - Muramasa was lots of fun as well. Reason enough.
GTAV - It's gonna be like San Andreas - Already awesome.
Hitman Absolution.

I actually have lots of them...>_>

[Gjallarhorn]

Grand Theft Auto 5 is on the top of my list, and will be until it is released.

Also looking forward to more info on:
Bioshock Infinite
The Last of Us
Dragon Age III (Which I do believe will be announced - at least that it is in production)
Final Fantasy Versus XIII (which I have been looking forward to since the first trailer/preview in...2008? 2009? Damn it, SquareEnix...)
Dust 514
The Last Guardian (Delayed until 2022, I bet!)
Guild Wars II

Things I want that will not be happening:
Kingdom Hearts III announcement (2011/2012 saw SquareEnix take massive financial hits due to the relative failures of XIII and XIII-2 amd XIV, and yet KH3 would let them just rake in money...)

[Ragenomics]

Resident Evil 6 tops this for me, but then I'm in the middle of an RE kick right now.
Tomb Raider looked interesting, though haven't enjoyed a TR game since 3 so this is more nostalgia than anything right now.
Been waiting for Guild Wars 2 for years, so hopefully they'll have something on this.
Versus XIII...I'll believe it when I see it.

The rest just registers as game fly fodder for me until I see something that convinces me otherwise.

[FluffyDango]

Want:
Bioshock Infinite
Dead Space 3
Dishonered
DMC (I want it :P The story is from before Dante became the devil hunter, thus why his hair isn't silver/white.)
Hitman Absolution (I've only played Hitman: Silent Assassin though, but I really liked it)
The Last of Us
Tomb Raider (thought it was SE that would be making it, but since it's Crystal Dynamics that is the devs I'm more excited for it. They'll do a better job on it than SE xD)

[Darkhallows]

I'm really excited for some of these! Dishonored seems very cool, and of course Bioshock Infinite and The Last Guardian. A few others as well.

[BoldMushroom]

Looks like a good lineup. Even the titles I'm lukewarm on seem like they'd be enjoyable for a little while.

Most looking forward to:
Dishonored, Half-Life 3 (yeah right), Metro: Last Light, Pikmin 3, Resident Evil 6, The Last Guardian, The Last of Us, X-COM: Enemy Unknown,

Aliens: Colonial Marines maybe, Assassin's Creed III maybe, Doom 4 maybe, Prey 2 maybe, Hitman: Absolution maybe, Thief 4 maybe, Tomb Raider maybe,

and anything Metal Gear or Wii U.

[Light Buster]

Assassin's Creed 3, Borderlands 2, Call of Duty: Black Ops 2, Halo 4

That's pretty much it for the new games I'm hoping for. For the time being, I'll stick to my current line up until then.

[Explorer Oak]

Been waiting for a thread like this, it's hard to keep up with all the games coming out. There defenetly some games i'm looking forward to!

[Hanamaru Kunikida]

I really hope this E3 goes well, with the line up.

And I am most likely going to E3 as well...

[Aulos]

I don't know, doesn't look like it could be the most exciting E3 in terms of new games, so I'm not really that hyped. Animal Crossing 3DS and Paper Mario 3DS are all I will be watching for.

Super Smash Bros. (Wii U/3DS)
Project Sora/HAL Laboratory
Latest Super Smash game with connectivity between the Wii U and 3DS systems.

Only very recently did Sakurai get done working on Kid Icarus Uprising. There is not even a snowball's chance in hell of Super Smash Bros. 4 showing up at E3 this year.

I was thinking the same thing after I posted it. Doesn't really hurt putting out there though and a lot of people probably weren't gonna expect it to be on this E3 anyways. I just put it out there because is still an anticipated game.

[Albear]

Dmc tops my list. Simply because im a big fan. I plan to finish it on every level.. Again.
The last guardian looks awesome too. Been a while since I played something similar to Ico.
I want KH3 and SSB4 the most.. And both are unlikely.

[AgnesHill]

Looks like a Video Game Accessoires. Even the titles I'm lukewarm on seem like they'd be enjoyable for a little while.

Most looking forward to:
Dishonored, Half-Life 3 (yeah right), Metro: xbox360 accessories, Pikmin 3, Resident Evil 6, The Last Guardian, The Last of Us, X-COM: Enemy Unknown,

Aliens: Colonial Marines maybe, wii controller III maybe, Doom 4 maybe, Prey 2 maybe, Hitman: Absolution maybe, Thief 4 maybe, Tomb Raider maybe,

and anything Metal Gear or Wii U.

How can you know if your 3ds game supports multi-languages?
I haven't seen the box of the 3ds game I want, so don't tell me how stupid I am if the answer is on the box.
