Most Anticipated Game of 2002?

BreakABone · 01-30-2002, 07:52 PM

Well it might be quite hard but what do you think is probably the single most anticipated game of 2002?

Do you think StarFox will come up the underdog and be hyped by all?

Does Project Ego tickle your funny bone?
Is ShenMue II your fix?
Is the plumber's return to platforming all it's cracked up to be?
Are you intrigued by the thought of Final Fantasy XI?
Maybe KingDon Hearts is more your fancy?

What will really define 2002?

Metroid, Zelda, Mario, SFA, Eternal Darkness, Resident Evil(s)

..

Edit: Interesting Post, Penguino. 50 dblns for ye.

Metroid...

I've been itching for a good FPS, and since I can't afford 350 for Halo, this looks as if it will be my fix.

I'm so psyched about this game.

Shenmue II isn't a game of 2002, it's a game of 2001. That would be like anticipating SA2B.

And I want my sunshine.

DeathsHand · 01-30-2002, 08:02 PM

State of Emergency, Zelda, Blood Omen 2, Timesplitters 2, Onimusha 2, Star Fox adventures... RE1 and any other non-port that comes out on NGC this year...

And I guess eternal darkness... for 2 reasons...

a: To see if it's actually good or not...

b: To play it and stuff if it IS good

and since breakabone wants to be a biotch aboot it, I'll just pick Zelda as my most anticipated game of 2002...

if it's released in 2002...

Most people haven't played Shenmue II, and it's never been released in the US, so technically, it's not a 2001 game. You could call DOA3 a 2001 game then, but the Japanese wouldn't call it that- it'd be 2002 for them. I think Shenmue II will be great, but Project Ego tickles my fancy.

It is too technically a 2001 game. It was released in 2001. Luigi's Mansion isn't a 2002 game, even though it's not out in Europe.

If it's released in 2001, it's a 2001 game.

I think Pokemon for GBA will be the best game in 2002.

*What? Stop looking at me!!! AHHHHHHH*

j/k. Hmm... The game that I anticipate the most in 2002 would have to be Mario Sunshine. I have been waiting too long to play a new Mario title. So I am going to buy a GCN when this baby is released. Boy I cannot wait.

Project Ego

If half the hype about this game is true, it is going to change the way we think about video games.

BigJustinW · 02-01-2002, 01:19 AM

By Platform:

Gamecube: Zelda
Ps2: Final Fantasy 11 (if not out in 2k2, Tekken 4)
Xbox: Project Ego
GBA: Pokemon
Multi Platform: Madden 203 (had to throw a sports game in)

My overall pick as most anticipated game for 2002:

Project Ego

Three reasons:

1. It's the only origanal game that I'm anticipating
2. It's mysterious, like Halo. Halo gained bonus points by both being origanal, and great.
3. It's innovative... and if it isn't. it's the first game I care about to use these features that are new to me.

We are supposed to judge it on our home country.... not on other countries.

There are thousands upon thousands of hardcore Shenume fans that don't have Shenume 2 in the states.

Sonic adventure 2 has been released in the USA, Shenume has NOT

so they are completly different things.

Mine is perhaps Turok. Dunno why, probably not going to buy it (too violent), but the jungle looks so cool!

Others are: ehm uhm let's see... Zelda or course... And ... Dunno!

Neo · 02-01-2002, 03:55 PM

Well the most anticipated game overall is probably FF XI. It's not the one that I'm most anticipating since I'm not into the series.

Titles I'm looking for - Matrix, Robotech, RE Series, Project Ego

Pokémon...especially if online capabilities are anounced.

I doubt that it will have any.
