Will 2011 be better than 2010? Maybe not.

Nathan Drake is currently working on his difficult third album, as are Guerrilla on Killzone 3. All in all, we at Teabot feel that 2010 was a giant kick in the nuts for “hope” in the world of video games, but will 2011 be any better? Doubts are growing...

[Hitman0769]

It will sure be tough to top 2010, it was an amazing year for gaming. I definitely feel like 2011 will do this though! :)

[ksense]

if you own all 3 consoles or just own a ps3 2011 will be better than 2010 without a doubt. if you own only a 360 then it is too tough to call even though some of the multi platform games in 2011 are amazing.

[FrankMcSpank]

Last year, there was a few great games in the first bit of the year, a few in the last, and just about nothing but DLC or Indy Games in the middle.

This year, there are about 2 PS3 exclusives a month, 2-4 Multiplat games that don't look retarded, a bunch of Kinect and Move games as well. The Wii looks like it has only a couple AAA(Zelda and Last Story), but overall, the shear amount of games coming this year make it a clear winner. Exclusive or not, you will never be able to run out of a game to play.

I'm not sure how to respond to this article. It was kind of all over the place and pretty much just filled with low expectations. How can I debate the possibilities? They're endless. I can only debate the reality.

Sure, 2011 _may not_ be better than 2011... but probability is currently supporting 2011 over 2010.

"Sure, 2011 _may not_ be better than 2011... but probability is currently supporting 2011 over 2010. "

i think my brain just slapped itself trying to understand that

im sure you meant 2010

[Christopher]

LOL. Yeah. Gotta love typos *sighs*

[TheShow01]

edit button :)

[Christopher]

Yeah, unfortunately was too late to do that when it was pointed out to me :p

[sjaakiejj]

What games did 2010 have that were truly great? I mean, God of war 3 was fun, Heavy Rain was interesting, Haven't played Halo: Reach but heard it was good as well. But 2010 didn't really have anything that truly stood out, not even its _two_ final fantasy titles or GT5. That said, with 2011 already having started out with games such as LittleBigPlanet and Mass Effect 2, offering a future with Killzone 3, Mass Effect 3, Uncharted 3, Resistance 3 (a lot of 3s) and more, I'd say it has topped 2010 even before it started.

[Daver]

loll 2010 cant even compare to 2011 in term of awesome games. Sure 2010 had good games but theres just too many coming out in 2011 that will be impressive.

[Darkfiber]

2010 was terrible, I think I bought like 3 games the entire year.

[Jaybop]

At least there's inFamous 2 to look forward to, right? RIGHT?

[matey]

YEAH IT WILL BE THE SAME GAME RESKINNED WOW CANT WAIT ITS EASY TO PLEASE U 360/PS3 GRAPHIC GEEKS ISNT IT i mean whats worse is the wii can do 360 graphics and if u like graphics so much u should be on pc its light years ahead

[Parapraxis]

Can I have some of what you are on?

[gillri]

yeah RDR and GOW3 won most best graphics awards last year on over 5 year old hardware, so what does that say about your awesome rigs?

I just replayed GOW3 and thats better looking than any PC I played game last year,

[rezzah]

Yea there was a ton of awesome games last year, but this yea the game rush doesn't end. Its going all the way through to December.

[Clance]

2010 was a funny old year. Got a bad feeling about 2011...

[Moentjers]

sssst, still trying to keep up with 2010...
Enslaved, MOH, Batman are still waiting in a box.

[gravemaker]

2011 will be best. Uncharted 3 make sure so

[corroios]

yes it will.

[Whoooop]

Even if you don't own a PS3, 2011 will probably be better if all multiplatforms release on time...

If you own a PS3 then 2011 will be hands-down a MUCH better year than 2010.

[Clance]

Completely agree. Uncharted 3, Infamous 2 and Killzone 3... should be great exclusives :)

[matey]

who are these people swearing by sequels there a joke and the main reason i dont own a 360/ps3 as them consoles are just numbered sequel consoles i like abit of genius Galaxy2 Kirbys epic yarn no more heros 2 ect

BEST GAME OF 2011 WILL BE ZELDA SS WEATHER U
LIKE IT OR NOT

[ksense]

zelda and mario..... and you are making fun of people swearing by sequels....oh the irony....

[Clance]

LOL!

[Parapraxis]

Don't pick on him guys, he is clearly under the age of 13 and I don't condone child abuse.

[Optical_Matrix]

2010 was pretty special. But if all of the titles coming out in 2011 actually DO get released. Or at least most of them, as well as PSP2 and 3DS. We're in for a treat. Already been kicked off nicely with Little Big Planet 2. What a masterpiece.

[Clance]

Gotta admit, this blog is looking good. The main image here is a good'un. Could be true. http://teabot.net/

[Parapraxis]

2011 is going to destroy 2010 personally.
The list of games I want to buy is 2 to 3 times the length of last years.

[Clance]

*clicks agree*

[Jaybop]

I guess I must be in the minority, or losing my lust for games, but 2010 just didn't stack up for me. Bring on 2011 please, Clance.

[Sub-Zero85]

2011 Q1 alone will top the whole 2010 easily!

[ksense]

Hmmm I may have to agree with this statement as long as you are referring to a gamer that has a ps3 as well.

[Sub-Zero85]

Im a ps3 gamer :)

[sjaakiejj]

2 Games: Mass Effect 3, Uncharted 3. Those make 2011 the better year already. My personal opinion of course.

[Tiqila]

2011 will be better, which is very hard after such a great 2010. Looking forward to LBP2, Killzone 3, Resistance 3, Uncharted 3, infamous 2, Motorstorm Apocalypse, Ico/SotC HD collection, and others...
And we already had GT5!

[Rrobba]

Hmmm...last year...

God of War 3
Heavy Rain
Super Mario Galaxy 2
Donkey Kong Country Returns
Halo: Reach
Mass Effect 2
Red Dead Redemption
Gran Turismo 5
Assassins Creed Brotherhood
BioShock 2
Fallout: New Vegas
Monster Hunter 3
No More Heroes 2
Red Steel 2
Mod Nation Racers
Vanquish
God of War: Ghost of Sparta

This year...

Uncharted 3: Drake's Deception
The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword
Killzone 3
Resistance 3
Gear of War 3
Mass Effect 3
Dead Space 2
LittleBigPlanet 2
LA Noire
Resident Evil: Revelations
Kid Icarus: Uprising
Super Street Fighter IV 3D

It's going to be a close one: but I think we can agree these have been/will be 2 amazing years for games.

[gunnerforlife]

infamous 2
motorstorm Apocalypse,
Ico/SotC HD collection
DC universe
batman arkham city
last guardian
mortal combat
ME2(ps3)
and im sure i missed a few more

[Legionaire2005]

Not a few more a lot more lol!!! Rage, Crysis 2, Uncharted 3 and more and more Lmao!!!

[Saint-Revlot]

Also twisted metal, and rachet and clank all4one

[Legionaire2005]

This year will own 2010!!! 2010 what? 2011 start out with great titles like DC Universe, LittleBigPlanet 2, Dead space 2, next month Marvel Vs. Capcom 3, Killzone 3, Bulletstorm, then Homefront, Crysis 2, Portal 2, Brink, Socom 4, Twisted Metal, Infamous 2, LA Noire, Battlefield 3, Modern warfare 3, Elder Scroll Skyrim, Batman Arkham City, Motorstorm Apocalypse, Mass Effect 3, and Uncharted 3!!!! need I say more!!!! 2010 was lukewarm with not that much competition due to Black-Ops and Halo. Game Developers may say that there reason for delaying games is to polish the game, but we should all know the truth by now. They just too chicken to release their game near a Call of Duty and Halo game. Just ask Capcom when they admitted that they wanted to delay Lost Planet 2 to avoid competition. They still had to compete with Red Dead Redemption, which was better reviewed than Lost Planet 2.

[hellzsupernova]

I wouldnt be afraid of releasing near a COD or Halo game anymore those franchises are dead.

[ddurand1]

25 million people disagree with you.

[lil boy blue]

As far as I'm concerned. If you a wii 2010 was the bomb. 2011 doesnt look to be half of what 2010 was. For ps3 and 3ds yes. I really dont know about the rest.

[hellzsupernova]

there is noway this year is going to be bad! NOWAY! Im going to have a grocery list of games to catch up on when the dust settles

[Sugreev2001]

2010 was amazing,but 2009 was better.Since so many amazing 2009 releases are getting sequels in 2011,I reckon it will be better than 2010.
