Was 2012 rather top-heavy?

[Mirage]

I don't agree with Loony .

I'm still looking forwards to:
Zone of the Enders HD collection
Dead or Alive 5
Virtua Fighter 5 Final Showdown
FFX HD
Assassin's Creed 3
Tekken X Street Fighter
Tekken Tag Tournament 2
Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance
Tomb Raider

Oh yeah and lollipop chainsaw.

Of all the games mentioned in this thread, the only ones I care about are Xenoblade and Last Story. I liked the first Borderlands, but I probably won't play part 2 for a while, unless I get really bored. But so far I still need to play already released blockbusters such as God of War III, Uncharted 3, Arkham City, and Mass Effect 3. Plus I'd like to check out the Assassin's Creed series at some point. That should be enough to keep me busy.

Sim City (5) won't be out until 2013.

The Last Story I'd be excited about if I had a Wii.

The Last Guardian I'm interested in, but it's not an "omg must buy" game for me. I've started Ico twice and barely got far at all, so I might eventually get around to it. Maybe I'll spend my spare time this year playing that, finally, to the end!

No mention of the Last Guardian yet? Or did I miss something and did it get cancelled/delayed?

Yeah, Fumito Ueda (the guy who served as the director and lead designer of Ico, Shadow of the Colossus, and until a couple months ago, The Last Guardian) isn't working for Sony anymore, and is now just a consultant on the project rather than the head honcho, which has thrown the whole project into unpredictability and no one knows when it will come out now. Last month they basically said due to the circumstances, the game isn't anywhere near a point where they can consider a release date.

I wouldn't hold my breath for a release this year, which is why I didn't mention it.

This basically. I remain hopeful that it will still be worth playing, but I'm not letting my hopes get to high.

Ueda leaving mid project was easily some of the most disappointing news I've heard in years.

Sim City (5) won't be out until 2013.

Dang, I hate waiting.

>>> The Last Story and Xenoblade, FFX HD too but I dont know if that one is coming this year..

[Flying Arrow]

I picked up Journey, but really only because there's nothing else for me at the moment. I liked it enough. The end was amazing but all the actual levels and platforming leading up to it didn't seem all that interesting as levels or platforming.

I haven't played XIII-2, ME3, or anything else out of disinterest. I knew coming into 2012 that it would more or less be totally dry for me, although I am definitely looking forward to getting my hands on Xenoblade when I borrow my friend's Wii next month. Other than that, eh. I guess I can't complain considering the back half of 2011 gave me Deus Ex 3, Dark Souls, Batman, and Skyrim all within a two and a half month span.

Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance

Oh my God, so it wasn't just a terrible dream I had. That is actually the name of a game.

[Shiny]

Assassin's Creed III and The Last of Us are on my radar.

I will be purchasing Mass Effect 3 at the end of April and I will play Uncharted 3 at some point even though I don't own a PS3. I heard the multilayer on ME3 isn't worth it though so I'll doubt I'll be messing about with that too much.

I was going to list the last of us, but apparently, it's scheduled for 2013
