Your most anticipated games of 2013?

A new calander year, a new year of gaming. Point out some games coming out (or that you hope will) this year that you're excited about.

Aliens: Colonial Marines - Wii U
The story has been given the "okay" by Ridley Scott himself. A good portion of the Aliens cast has been brought in to do voicework. It's the legitimate sequel to the Aliens movie. If you loved the first two movies then certainly you're onboard with this game?



Animal Crossing: A New Leaf - 3DS
It's the reason I bought a 3DS. Nearly two years later that reason will finally arrive. I'm ready to lose myself in this world yet again.



Dragon Quest X - Wii U
I hope that the all-time best selling console MMO in Japan gets localized for other territories (specifically, NA) this year.



BioShock Infinite - 360
Easily my most anticipated game of 2013. I'm glad they removed multiplayer from the game. I'm also glad they delayed the game into 2013 to do some additional polish and game testing.



Grand Theft Auto V - 360
I've been a fan of the series ever since GTA III, and Rockstar has given me little reason to stop enjoying their games. Honestly, it's between BioShock Infinite and GTA:V as early choices for my GotY.



Dead Island: Riptide - 360
The first game is one of my favorite games of 2011. I want more and it's on the way.



Terraria - 360 (Wii U ???)
Another great indie game from 2011 finally comes to consoles this year. Although I'd rather see it ported to Wii U, but I'll buy it the instant it arrives on XBLA.



The Wonderful 101 - Wii U
It's the reason I bought a Wii U. The game just looks like amazing fun. Can't wait.



Watch Dogs - ???
I have no idea if this will be a current-gen game or a next-gen game. Either way, it was the most exciting thing I saw (aside from The Wonderful 101) at E3 last year.



Fantasy Life - 3DS
The looks like Level 5's take on Animal Crossing. No announcement for a release in other territories yet.

1. Bioshock Infinite 360
2. Dead Space 3 360
3. South Park RPG 360
4. Metro Last Light 360
5. Ni No Kuni PS3
6. Fire Emblem 3DS
7. Animal Crossing 3DS
8. Last of Us PS3
9. Tomb Raider 360
10. Pikmin 3 WiiU

DoDonPachi Saidaijou - 360

GTAV
Bioshock

PS3

The Last Of Us
Beyond Two Souls

Fist of the North Star: Kens Rage 2

Put over 100+ hours into the first game which is something I haven't done since Morrowind.

Path of Exile - PC (been playing the beta for a few months. True successor to Diablo 2)
Scrolls - PC
DarkStalkers Resurrection - PSN

Only game I have on pre-order is Ni no Kuni for PS3. Fist of the North Star: Ken's Rage 2 is right up there.

I'm still not sure if The Last Guardian is even coming out. They deleted the SCU at Gamestop, which worries me. This is the Fumito Ueda game that's supposed to be the prequel to Shadow of the Colossus/Ico, BTW.

Other than that, 2013 is looking pretty bleak, IMO.

This summer may be the toughest "wait and see" summer in years. I don't see anything announced for consoles past The Last of Us on PS3 in May. Absolutely...nothing. This year's E3 should be very interesting.

Nintendo should show nothing but wall to wall games for the Wii U and 3DS. Perhaps a price drop for the Wii U? Microsoft should announce its new console and a few exclusive games. Sony? Same as MS, new console with a couple of exclusive games. The only thing I'm curious about with Sony is if Dust 514 is going to make the move to the new console?

Castlevania: Lords of Shadow-Mirror of Fate (3DS)
Castlevania Lords of Shadow 2 (PS3)
Etrian Odyssey IV (3DS)
Fire Emblem: Awakening (3DS)

anything major by S-E

Tomb Raider and Dragon Quest VII 3DS, probably not much else though.

The relaunch of Final Fantasy XIV constitutes a major release for S-E.

I also listed Lightning Returns as one of my anticipated 2013 releases, but now that I think about it, it's probably more likely to debut 1/14 or 2/14.

My bad... I was working off of an Amazon date and didn't know that it was targeted for Q2. I'd list that as a 'mild interest' as well, thinking of checking it out if I'm not busy at the time.

Ni No Kuni is number one

i actually just took a few days off from work on its release

curious to give the revamped FFXIV a shot too

other than that?

GTAV for sure

Bravely Default (terrible name; looks great)

Phantasy Star Online 2 (did they date the US release yet?)

maybe some more 3DS stuff

If Bravely Default is confirmed for 2013 in the US, I'm definitely adding it to my list of anticipated games. There can't be enough great games for the 3DS, IMO.

I'd also add Dragon's Crown on there too, now that I think of it.

Dragon's Crown (Had to preorder it again on Amazon)
Bioshock Infinite
Pikmin 3
The Wonderful 101
Aliens (if the reviews are good on the Wii U)

So many good games to look forward to this year...

The Last of Us
Remember Me
Ni No Kuni
GTA V
Fire Emblem
Tomb Raider...the list goes on and on.

Seems like a way better year than 2012 for gaming!

Agreed. The first half of 2013 already looks better than all of 2012. I can't wait to see what next Fall will bring us

The Last of Us (PS3)
Ni No Kuni (PS3)
Alien Colonial Marines (PS3)
Bioshock Infinite (PS3)
Dragons Crown (PS3)
Tomb Raider (PS3)

Dragon's Crown is the Vita own version of Duke Nukem Forever.

Bring on Aliens Colonial Marines!

I'm mildly interested in that one as well. Hope it has a proper Campaign mode and is not just another military-style co-op multiplayer thingy with an aliens theme.

That's an opinion I can get onboard with. Last year, by the end, felt like a year of "very good". No Skyrim or Arkham City like in 2011 (clearcut GotY candidates). But the first three months of 2013 alone has more than half a dozen games I'm batshit-crazy-excited for. Regardless of what games will be at launch for Microsoft's or Sony's new consoles, 2013 is shaping up nicely.

Metal Gear Rising Revengeance (PS3/360)
Shin Hokuto Musou (PS3/360)
Bayonneta 2 (wii u)
Soul Sacrifice (vita)
