What about the year we got Assassins Creed, The Witcher, Bioshock, Crysis, Mario Galaxy, Call of Duty 4, Orange Box (Half-Life 2: Episode Two, Portal, Team Fortress 2), Supreme Commander, God of War 2, STALKER, Metroid Prime 3, Halo 3, Uncharted, Persona 3, Legend of Zelda: Phantom Hourglass, Unreal Tournament 3 and Mass Effect?

Hell, even Starcraft II just being announced deserves a mention.

World In Conflict too! One of my favorite RTS of all time. 2007

Well Blizzard seems to be in the knock-off business these days...

Here's their Team Fortress 2 knock-off:





It does look pretty good though.

Like TF2 had a lovechild with League of Legends and Pixar

People buzzing about some starcraft 2 as well

I would be very surprised if we don't hear anything about Legacy of the Void.

Need a Nascar game tbh.

Says consoles aswell.

PC is the only thing they've announced. Kaplan and Metzen didn't say no to console versions but they didn't exactly say yes either.

Also, Looking For Group is out:

Dragon Age Inquisition 8.8 on IGN and 9.0 from Gamespot.

2014 esports grand finals:

Might get it in december when i'm done with AC:Unity.

In need of an action RPG till Bloodborne is out

Witcher > Bloodborne and Dragon Age

Although I'll probably get Dragon Age at some point as I saw you don't have to bother with the tedious tactical crap in this one.

I have time for 1 game, then I have to take a quick trip to the store.

"Based on HBO's award-winning television drama, Game of Thrones - A Telltale Games Series tells the story of House Forrester. Caught up in the events of The War of the Five Kings, they are placed in a precarious position where members of the household must do everything they can to prevent the house from meeting its doom."

"Our game series is based on the world, characters and events seen in HBO's TV show, which in turn is based on George R. R. Martin's books (A Song of Ice and Fire). The events in our game series begin towards the end of Season Three of the TV show, and end right before the beginning of Season Five. You will visit familiar locations such as King's Landing and The Wall, as well as unfamiliar locations such as Ironrath, the home of House Forrester."

"House Forrester is a noble house from the Wolfswood in the north of Westeros. Bannermen to House Glover, they have always offered unswerving loyalty to the ruling great house of the North – the Starks. The Forresters are seated at Ironrath, an imposing stronghold surrounded by towering ironwood trees. Built over fifteen hundred years ago by Cedric Forrester and his triplet sons, Ironrath is a testament to the strength and endurance of Ironwood. The Forrester house words are 'Iron from Ice', which echoes their belief that - like the ironwood itself - the adverse conditions and unforgiving landscape of the North only makes them stronger."

"Ironrath sits on the edge of the largest ironwood forest in Westeros, which has proven to be a strategic advantage for the House. The trees are a valuable commodity; many of the best weapons, ships, and defensive structures include the use of ironwood. House Forrester controls the majority of the ironwood forests in the Wolfswood, much to the chagrin of their bitter rivals, House Whitehill."

"Although the Forresters have not appeared in HBO's TV show, they are canon to the world created by George R. R. Martin, having appeared in the book 'A Dance with Dragons'."

"You will play the game from five different points of view. Each character you play as is a member of House Forrester; either a direct family member, or a person in service to the House. Scattered across Westeros and Essos, each character will play their part in seeking to save House Forrester from destruction."

"Playing as five characters not only reflects the epic scope of Game of Thrones, but is also something that the player needs to be mindful of. This is because the actions of one character can ripple out to affect the rest of House Forrester. Multiply the actions of one character by five, and you're truly playing the Game of Thrones…where you win, or you die."

"Additional details on the series and its upcoming premiere episode, 'Iron From Ice' are forthcoming. Stay tuned here to the Telltale Games Blog, twitter, and Facebook pages for more information as we approach the premiere, the first of six episodes, which will be arriving for download soon on PC/Mac, PlayStation 4, PlayStation 3, Xbox One, Xbox 360, and iOS, with additional platforms to be announced."

Just Cause 3 announced.

http://www.gameinformer.com/b/news/archive/2014/11/11/december-cover-revealed-just-cause-3-29401230.aspx

Nice, Just Cause 2 was so underrated at release. Too bad, a lot of people who would have loved it missed out on it. I actually don't remember why I tried it out überhaupt but dind't regret it.

Also FFXIII-2 comes out December 11th on Steam - supporting customizable resolutions etc. It also wont be as fing big as FFXIII (50-60GB) because it doesn't have as many pre-rendered cut scenes in both languages. The pre-rendered cut scenes were atrocious when you got the 1080p mod because the cut-scenes would look worse than the game
http://store.steampowered.com/app/292140/

It also turned out that the non-60fps issue FFXIII had on steam was the fact that it was so undemanding that the GPU didn't think it was a 3D game So if you had power saving on you wouldn't get your GPU turning up.

AC Unity got caned quite a bit, Ubisoft is at it again. IGN posted 8 problems they encountered after 3 hours of playing, it's all related to eStore, apps lol

Unless the whole campaign is co-op and not just heists I think i'll skip this game

Loved IV due to the pirates setting which I love and it also rare. But it's hard enough to feel dat immersion in AC games when you're constantly reminded you're in a memory and not actually 'there' so for them to stop in-game content to make you sign in to websites and download apps is just plain shit. Completely ruins the immersion

The worst is performance though, watched my mate playing on PS4 and frame rate was terrible. It litterally frozen for half a sec or so during Platform session.

I even get frame rate drops in Advanced Warfare, occasionally. I don't know if it's due to lag, or that my console just can't run the game as well as it should.

Who's getting GTA V for PS4?
I saw a trade in promo at Target to turn in my PS3 version then I'll get the PS4 one for 30 bucks

Maybe early next year or spring. Got some SP games to buy and complete before buying GTA V again.

I'll buy it when it's 15-20 in few years. A game for the collection. Same with TLOU remastered
