PSXE Poll Update: TGS Unimpressive, Remakes Most Exciting
Shadow of the ColossusIt was busy as usual, but for the PSXE crowd, none of the new game announcements were as exciting as the confirmation of a certain remake collection.
Although the new Devil May Cry turned some heads, the majority of recent poll participants voted for a couple PS2 classics set to be remade for the PS3 with HD and 3D: ICO & Shadow of the Colossus Collection. Perhaps this is because we didn't see much that blew us away at the Tokyo Game Show last week, or maybe it's because the two games in question are icons of the PlayStation brand...or maybe it's a bit of both. Fumito Ueda and Team ICO did indeed create two titles that have been loved and revered since they first released way back when, and are currently considered to be great examples of "interactive art." The second-most number of votes went to nothing; i.e., none of the new TGS announcements really did it for them, and only a few liked the look of Capcom's over-the-top action/brawler, Asura's Wrath. We at PSXE are excited about the new DMC and Shadows of the Damned, by Shinji Mikami and Suda 51, also looks like a lot of fun.
This week, the holidays aren't far off and we want to know- how many new games do you plan to buy (or receive as gifts) before the year is out? In other words, how many fresh additions will be in your library before December 31, 2010? You might want to check the huge number of potentially great releases before voting...

I got hyped by Enslaved but the demo was only decent, control was what I expected but there's a bit of camera issue so I'll wait and see.

What I WON'T buy: Kinect, Fable III (since I haven't even played Fable II), the new Assassin's Creed game, any music games and anything from Activision.

I loved the Enslaved demo (just played it now)! Going to buy it for sure on October 5.

'Bout the number of games? I just get the best ones. Can't really pin down a number since I've got a great backlog of games I've still to get.
GT5 is a day one buy though, there's no or Ifs on that.

Can't believe that wasn't reported here. One of the major announcements that.

On this new poll, I voted 5 to 9. I just pre-ordered Castlevania:LOS. I was trying to decide between Castlevania and Enslaved, but Kojima's involvement swayed my decision.

As for the games coming out... I don't even think twice when it comes to any Bethesda rpg so New Vegas will be mine. I'm guessing I'll nab Black Ops as well, but only if Amazon brings back their $20 credit with purchase.

As for the poll more than likely between 5-10...because obviously I have to get the best ones, but then there are some smaller games that appeal to me highly that I just can't miss out on =)

As for TGS, I was pretty impressed by the new info we heard regarding GT5. Don't care if it was announced at E3, that wasn't even remotely what you'd call a serious launch announcement.

like i said yesterday the games been in development for over 3 years so you would think they would be showing quite a fair bit off.
since there not that leads me to believe there not that far in it, when you spend 3 years on a game and not have much to show off, well if that does not sign off alarm bells nothing will!

What I'm getting: GT5SigEd, ordered on the weekend; Enslaved; Medal of Honour, likely, but not confirmed for me yet; and I think that's all. Maybe Assassin's Creed 2 if I can find a Platinum version. There is also Castlevania and Vanquish, but I want to see the review scores of them first. Oh, and the Sly Collection. I think I'm still forgetting something. Eh, I'll put down 5-9.
Peace.

I may also get The Sly Collection and The Force Unleashed 2. Also, I'll eventually get Move before Christmas, along with some games that support it.
Other than that, nothing really interests me for now.

Don't get me wrong, it's freakin' sweet they're doing that! But, still, you'd like to hear more about PS3 originality, imo.

Regarding the new poll...I chose 5-9, which is low for me. Normally, I get the majority of my games this time of year, because my birthday falls in October. Last year, I think I got over 15, not including PSN games.
My backlog is so big, though, that I'm imposing a self-embargo until I finish some of them, so no games for my birthday this year (though I will be getting RB3 the next week).
Probables for the holidays: RB3, Heavy Rain, R&C: ACIT, AC2, DA:O GOTY. That is, if I finish some games between now and then.
Aside from RB3 (by FAR my most anticipated game), I don't see any new games this holidays that scream "buy me now", so I'll be getting them some time next year.

my biggest excitement for the later half of 2010 is Castlevania Lord of Shadow, and my biggest excitement for 2011 is the ICO HD collection and the tentative Last Guardian
