What games do you forsee playing for next 5 years?

HebrewBomb · July 2004

Here is my list:

1. Lineage 2

2. CS

3. Guild Wars

Absolutely no clue. A smaller dev house could be producing the next 'EQ Killah' as we speak. But from the list to the left? EQ2. Imperator (link at: http://www.imperatoronline.com/ ), the Sci-Fi Pax Romana game from Mythic intrigues me, if only because I think Mark Jacobs is the biggest player in the industry that still has the power to take chances in game design.

1.) EQ2 for SURE!!!

2.) EVE Online (one of the most intricate and in depth games on the market...really solid things coming from this came in the coming years...)

3.) WoW (will try this but I sense a Horizons on the horizon with this one)

4.) Vigil Games (whatever that title is--Brad McQuaid knows how to make games)

5.) Pirates of the Burning Sea (if this makes it to release it looks interesting and different)

6.) Misc (Guild Wars, Tabula Rasa, Dark and Light) will take a look at these if they are well reviewed or if EQ2 doesnt captivate me).

Cant wait for some of these titles. These are dark times for the Mmorpg genre. Many titles but most are bland and outdated. Something to be said for the state of the industry when the biggest games are still DAOC, AC, AO and EQ...and CoH which imho is comical in its simplicity...

LoL no matter what I wouldn't pick EQ franchise ever again.

SOE is God of rip off.

Like I said many times before, if it wasn't for its competitors, they would still be charging for every expansions on top of monthly fee with poorest customer service.

Five years is a long time in the gaming industry. As for myself the only game to date that has held me for longer than 2 months is Ultima Online. And I imagine it will keep me around for another year or two. Unless that is something that can compare to that game comes along without EA screwin it up.

But as for others I will try out so far WoW has peaked my interest. D&L and Dragon Empires possibly Wish if it makes it to release.

*A game does not rule all other games...espcially if it hasn't been released yet.*

VITAMADNESS · July 2004

WoW at least to try a while...it looks too good to not at least try it for a while.

EQ 2 long term becuase that is where most of my friends are headed and it looks great to me too.

Vanguard: Saga of Heros has my interest, so I will at least have to try it, whether it will pull my friends and I away from EQ 2 is fuzzy at best, but I have to at least try it.

I will probably get and play Guild Wars on and off too since there is no monthly fee and I had fun with it in the E3 demo.

Others I may give a short play just to check out include Dark and Light, Dragons Empires and Tabula Rasa.

EQ 2 will certainly keep me for the longest duration for a few factors. 1) Most of my friends play only 1 MMORPG at a time, so we all agreed that EQ 2 seems to fit our gaming style the most. 2) I still like the fantasy setting more then any other game setting. Some people think it is played out, but I still eat it up and imagine it will always remain my setting of choice. 3) The reasons for my 1st factor (my friends playing it) are the smaller raid sizes, having most of the game content being driven toward 1 group, the amount of immersion content be thrown in (Talking NPC's, NPC that hail you as you walk by to do a quest for them, the guild status from helping your city, etc) and the hook into EQ (lore) really gives me a lot of reason to think EQ 2 will be my next major play for years to come. I mean I stuck with EQ since Kunark, so I imagine EQ 2 will keep me going for a while as well

Lugnard · July 2004

1. WoW

2. Half-Life 2

3. Halo 2

Edit: Ewwwww... Linage 2? I foresee that game dying a slow American death in less than a year. It might still remain strong in Asia but we Americans don't like slow buggy level grinds.

Malkavian · July 2004

With the present games out or coming out, i would have to say MMROPG wise,

1 Eve Online

2 EQ2/WoW (Undecided)

3 City of Villans

Outside of MMORPG's

1 Half Life 2

2 Unreal Tornament

3 Battlefield 1944

However, with each year another title is brought forth and unknowns become known at E3. 5 years is a long time to stick with 1 title, let along 3 or more. So my list is subject to change.

Imo, there's only one game that'll be worth playing soon.

Dark and Light.
