Welcome to 2012, readers! We know you're broke from the holidays, but listen up. You need to start saving every penny if you want to get the most out of 2012. It's going to be a huge year.
To kick things off, watch this incredibly badass trailer of the hottest upcoming games, then scroll on down and check out the 30 games IGN can't wait for, listed according to likely release chronology.
"The Game Music Foundation are today very proud and pleased to announce an additional concert, circling back to the roots of Game Muisic Festival in Poland. On April 28th, 2024, the National Forum of Music in Wroclaw will once again become a place to celebrate the art of video game music, featuring scores from The Last of Us and The Last of Us Part II." - The Game Music Foundation.
Najam from eXputer writes "It's time fore a new installment in the series, not another pointless remaster."
They are working on something new. Not to be rude but it is impossibility stupid to think ND next major announcement is going to be a remaster or their next Last of Us entry is going to be another remaster.
Who says a dud game can't have a video game comeback?
Cyberpunk and No Man's Sky have to be up there. We're lucky and cursed, equally, to have games that can be updated now. For folks old enough to remember the Sega/SNES into PS1 and even 2 eras, if a game came out that was half baked (*cough*Angel of Darkness*cough*) that was it, no redemption. At the same time, having the option for updates shouldn't be an excuse for half assing games.
They seem to have all bases covered; mentioned a whole lot of stuff I'm hyped for in the coming months. They've even got Downpour there, so that makes me happy.
Tomb Raider looks really goo. Where was Starhawk i might have missed it but i dont think i did.
"Final Fantasy XIII-2 looks to take all the things we loved about the first game, and fix those parts gamers criticized. Arriving end of January for Xbox 360 and PS3, it features time travel, Lightning's cute sister, and some bigger more epic battles. Hell yes."
It's cringe worthy trying to read some one that excited for the sequel. Unless you loved the first one and your a FF13 fan then you will be dissapointed, Square never act on concerns when it comes from it's fanbase, they listen to them but never act. If they did act on such things 1) We wouldn't be getting this sequel and 2) They would be starting development on a FF8 remake round about now after the highly successful launch of the FF7 remake they released last year. The whole listening thing is Square being clever trying to sucker people into buying the game again...
"Oh look Square have said they've improved the problems with FF13, I'll buy it" <------ That's how it would go.
