Doom 3, Quake 4, Rome: Total War and Half Life 2

[Khan]

Clearly these are going to be some of the best, and most anticipated games of 2004/5.

However, does anybody know the expected release dates of the four games, and their estimated minimum requirements?

[Andrew]

OMG you forgot Duke Nukem Forever!

But I guess since we don't know when it will ever come out, you had good reason to leave it out.

Although I am thinking it will come out by 4th quarter at least.

[Khan]

Bah, Nukem really let me down after Duke Nukem 2, he just got so mainstream...

[Andrew]

You didn't like Duke 3d?  :'(

Isn't all teh games you mentioned mainstream or are you referring to the quality of the newer duke games are lower cause they are mainstream?

[Khan]

Well it is meant to be kind of ironic, but yeah I really liked the first 2 but then it just sort of became a gimmick, and that wasn't really my thing.

[exatreide]

Cough Halo 2, Cough half life two... hehe how could you forget these?

[Khan]

Um Half Life 2 is right there, and I didn't actually like Halo that much. It was a huge wait for a real rubbish game.

[exatreide]

My bad, Halo Rubbish? Are you drunk? It was a masterpeice of FPS it had everything you could want and more...it was tasty, Plus its books made it even better....  :)

[Khan]

Maybe on the Xbox but I thought it wasn't that good when it got to the PC, the graphics were far too dated.

[DukeLeto]

You didn't like Duke3d, you don't like Halo...Next you'll be saying that Red Alert sucked.

[GhostHunter]

You didn't like Duke3d, you don't like Halo...Next you'll be saying that Red Alert sucked.

...Yeahhhhh....

[Andrew]

Red Alert did suck.

[hide]Joking, it is the first PC game I had played and got addicted to and played many, many infinitely many hours.

And I'm thinking of installing it again because of the thread in Tech support.

My #1 game. (or 2)[/hide]

[thomas]

kahn you list is the equivalent to the Iraqi police force as of now

you forgot

halo 2 (as mentioned by ex)

WOW

SC: ghost

GT:4

GTA: sin city*

MGS: Snake Eater *

CS:Condition Zero

Everquest 2

LOTR MMORPG*

and much more

(*=not sure if it comes out this year)

[Khan]

OK a few points, which you will probably hate me for:

RA ruled (You'll like that)

GT 4 - Couldn't give a rat's ass

GTA - went down hill fast after the original

MGS - Went down hill fast before it was released

CS:CZ - So old now, we need something new

Everquest 2 - Really don't care

LOTR - Good for a film, but a game? leave it out.

But WoW and SC Ghost I am really looking forward too, So is there any word on the min specs for any of these games?

[DukeLeto]

Well, since SC: Ghost is console-only, I presume you will need a console. :P

And since WoW is an MMORPG, you will need zillions of dollars to pay the 20+ bucks a month you need to even play it.

Clearly these are going to be some of the best, and most anticipated games of 2004/5.

Then what a sad year it will be for the gaming community.  Whatever happened to games with something more than round edges?

Personally, I look forward to Thief 3.  No idea when it'll be out, though.

OMG you forgot Duke Nukem Forever!

Ha ha, you're funny.  ;)  Seriously, I'm not holding my breath for the realease of Duke Nukem Whenever.

[thomas]

good god khan stop taking the LSD it's making your judgement weird

the GT series = best damn racing sim since Moses

GTA WTF are you talking bout? GTA:VC and GTA3 were the best games in the series

CS:CZ to may not be important but CS is the most popular online game period with more then triple the amount of players on any game.

MGS was an awesome addition to the series, if you arew a crappy gamer you'll dislike it if yyou have a shred of skill you love it for the game play, story, and overall kick-assness MGS2 was also sweet

BTW MGS is the third in the series genius

Everquest 2 - i don't care much bout it either but it's bound to be kick-ass and BIG

LOTR MMORPG the EA LOTR games were actually pretty good, the LOTR strategy game pretty good so actually play the EA games before you bitch about the MMO

BTW GT 3 is tha shit buy a JAguar XJ220 soup it up and watch your friends jaw drop as you smoked his team Orca Viper

GT4=Jesus' return

and as Will Shatner would say

KHAN!!!!!

[Andrew]

I think GTA was the first one, therefore it is the best. obvisously the graphics arent great comparitively. The Funnu thing is I've never played GTA on the high 3d res? (higher than the 24 bit) I mostly played it on 8 bit. And there were good mods for it. Burger city was the best one.

[Khan]

Jeez guys, it's just my opinion about games. Some games just really don't appeal to me, such as the MGS series. If you really like it that's fine, but don't slag me off just because I don't.

Vanguard: I totally agree, I wish that developers would be daring and actually release some new stuff for a change, but all that we seem to get lately is licenses and sequels, so I guess we will just have to put up with it.

...and damn I hate that Star Trek quotation

[Vanguard3000]

Put up with it?  To hell with that!  http://www.the-underdogs.org , man!

Star Trek quotation?  What the hell are you talking about?

[Khan]

No not you, at the end of scytales post there is a Star Trek quotation.

[Kiyouta]

Yes there is. Khan? Who is Khan anyway? I always thought Khan and Fenring were the same person.

books made it (Halo) even better....

[thomas]

...and damn I hate that Star Trek quotation

would you rather I said it like:

khaaaannnn

[Khan]

>:(... ;)

Crusher: Khan is a character from a star trek film, although not where I got the name from, and Fenring would be Hasimir Fenring, a character from the Dune books.

[exatreide]

They didnt invade the book market they are really good books, by them even if u havnt played the game. I said by them now.
