As you all know very well, E3 2014 is right around the corner and there have been a lot of rumors floating around about the new game announcements that are going to be made.
So, I thought it would be a cool idea to make a thread for all of us to post our 'game announcement wishlists' in, no matter how far out or ridiculously unrealistic they may be (and I encourage you to make ridiculous wishes).
I'll start with my personal wishlist, which is probably going to be the most (intentionally) unrealistic of the bunch
red wishes = super unrealistic yellow wishes = kinda realistic
green wishes = pretty realistic
- A new Burnout game!
My, oh my, how I have longed for Criterion to make a new Burnout game for the longest time. I got into the series when Burnout 3 came out (I rented the game, played it all the way through in one night, and ended up buying it later). That game was like no other racing game I had ever played... it was hectic, it had a phenomenal soundtrack, and it was just perfect for me. Sadly, none of the Burnout games' online services are available anymore... not even my beloved Burnout Paradise (only 6 years old)... hopefully one day the franchise will return. It's my favorite racing series of all time!
- Halo 2: Anniversary OR Halo 5 (any new Halo game, basically)
I really don't know exactly what I want from Halo right now. I liked Halo 4 but it didn't grab me like Halo 3 did... the Battle Rifle returned and I was really happy about that, the game had amazing graphics, and the custom games were cooler and more creative than ever... but still, I prefer Halo 3 for some odd reason. I'm really open to whatever new Halo game is supposedly being released this year... whether it be Halo 2: Anniversary or Halo 5, doesn't matter. I just want a new Halo game to play on my Xbox One!!
- A new Crazy Taxi game!
This was another game that played a big role in shaping me into the sorry excuse for a person I am today! I used to play the original Crazi Taxi on the... I wanna say Dreamcast(?)... when my uncle had Halo CE LAN parties at his apartment (so a long time ago) and it was one of the most amazing games I had ever played. All of the games had great soundtracks featuring songs from the bands I would end up listening to much later in life... The Offspring, Bad Religion... the list goes on and on. And the game was just fun to play! Crazy, chaotic, fun. I'd love another sequel.
- Rock Band, Rock Band, Rock Band!!
Though many believe the plastic instrument craze died off a long time ago, I'm still rockin' in the free world on Green Day Rock Band and Rock Band 3! Games like Rocksmith are way too serious for me and I think there's still somewhat of a demand for fun party games like Rock Band. It's a shame the music game genre's sales went down so quickly, mainly due to Guitar Hero over-saturating the market beyond belief... I think RB could make a comeback if Harmonix plays it safe and doesn't release a dozen games a year. Or, I at least hope it makes a comeback...
- A Xbox One / PS4 / PC port for GTA V! (pwetty pwease, Rockstar)
Nothing has been 100% confirmed yet and Rockstar has continually yanked our chain about whether or not this is actually going to happen but I think it would be a smart move in the long-run! I don't think GTA V's life-span will be nearly as long as it could be if it stays on the previous generation of consoles and doesn't make the move to XB1, PS4, and PC. A lot of people sold their old consoles to buy the new ones and I think GTA V could benefit from being ported to the new gen's systems and the PC. We could have bigger player counts in GTA Online matches (maybe 34 instead of 16? or possible even more, considering the size of the map), the game's graphics could be given a proper display, the render distance could be increased... there's so much that could be done to improve the game.
I think releasing a port for the new consoles and the PC in September to honor the 1-year anniversary of the game's release on the 360 / PS3 would be a good move on Rockstar's part. I'd gladly pay $60 for the game again, and they could even take the opportunity to release GTA Online heists (finally) and maybe even an expansion to the single-player campaign!
- More Burger King games!
Okay, I don't actually want this to happen, hahaha! Burger King Pocket Bike Racer was pretty beast though...
So that's what's on my wishlist. Now, what's on your wishlist?! Let me know!!
