Fall Lineup Makes A Gamer's Wallet Cringe...Again

While most publishers and analysts will say there's room for a great many blockbuster titles during the holiday rush, gamers everywhere look at yet another massive fall lineup with trepidation.

It never fails. As each year passes, more and more giant titles loom large during the fourth quarter. We've gotten used to seeing a new Call of Duty in the fall but this year, EA's Battlefield joins the fray. And that's just the start. Here's a sampling of games that release in October and November:

Twisted Metal
Batman: Arkham City
The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim
Assassin's Creed: Revelations
Uncharted 3: Drake's Deception
Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3
Battlefield 3
Ace Combat: Assault Horizon
Rage
Dark Souls
Silent Hill: Downpour
Saints Row: The Third
Need for Speed: The Run

And that's hardly the entire list. In a two-month span of time, gamers are gonna want a lot of titles; maybe more than a dozen. Remember a time when things were spread out a little more? Summer has always been a little down, but I honestly can't think of anything besides Deus Ex: Human Revolution and Catherine in July and August that draws my attention.

Furthermore, because so many games escape out of the holiday season, more big releases end up in January and February, which doesn't make things much easier. Not all gamers drop their controllers forever during the summer months; could we not pile so many of the biggest games of the year into a two-month span? Really, our wallets would appreciate it.

"I believe I can fly..." is probably the best analogy I could use when considering how improbable it will be for most normal folk to go out and spend some $800 dollars on such a loaded list... but hell wouldn't it be nice :)

Uncharted 3, Battlefield 3 and Skyrim are mine... all others will wait for a price drop if interested in getting them...

Wow, I sometimes forget how expensive our preferred form of entertainment can get. I feel for all the gamers out there. Don't forget to eat people. Feed the family first.

Luckily I have found ways to supplement my gaming hobby. Otherwise it would be Waiting for pricedrops or rentals.

Not to mention some PSN titles that are on the horizon that have my attention. Journey, From Dust, SideWay to mention a few. 7 of the titles on the list will make it to my collection. Also, I am sure as you stated Ben there are some more that I can not recall at this time. Help me out guys.

And.. If Sony somehow manages to get The PSVita out anywhere in the world this year it WILL be mine!

Of that list only 3 are day 1 buys for me :
Dark Souls over TM (sorry was never a TM, vehicular combat Guy. Enjoyed the stories though)
Batman: Arkham City
and of course Uncharted 3

I don't really care for much anything else in that list besides AC, which I'll wait for the price to fall like i did with 2 and Brotherhood, and probably Battlefield 3.

plus I will also get Madden and Nba2k12 for my brother.

This year is going to be insane, but I'm preparing effectively. I have never seen as many games on the horizon as I am seeing this year. It all starts on September 6th when I pick up Resistance 3, Dead Island, and Driver: San Francisco. Then, in October, there isn't a single Tuesday that doesn't have a game I won't be getting. I can't wait.

Of those listed games, Skyrim, Assassins, Uncharted, Rage, and MW3 top my playing list.

I still have original Batman and Demon's Souls games to play before I can think about their sequels. I have a shimmer of hope for Ace Combat. The last one I played was AC4 on PS2. Twisted Metal is hopeful, though, I'm not certain if it'll be more than a rental to me. Ultimately, I feel it's a competitive multi-player game and Tekken already takes that slot. It'd be cool to see all it's vibe and uniqueness though.

Despite the glut outlined in the article, I still think that the release schedule is becoming *more* evenly distributed throughout the year, not less so.

Sony alone released at least one AAA title every month in the first half of this year. In total, there were maybe 17 or 18 AAA titles available on PS3 released so far in 2011, including at least 5 legitimate GOTY contenders.

How many years in the past have boasted such a first-half line-up? Last year...that's about it.

And, besides MGS 4, how many AAA titles have released during the summer?

edit: This may double-post. I'll try to delete the extras if that happens.

That's the point. Virtually nothing ever releases during the summer.

And furthermore, up until a few years ago, the "other" summer in this industry was the first quarter. All the games were out, people had spent all their money, etc.

Now, with SO many games trying to come out for the holidays, really big-name titles that would normally release then escape into January/February, which makes things even crazier.

The whole summer drought thing is weird to me, I mean a lot of gamers are in school and that is a time when they have free time so why no bunch of big games?

Thankfully the only thing I'll be worried about getting right away is Dead Island and possibly the Resident Evil HD games (which are coming in at $20 a piece my friends).

I'll be as busy as a set of blue goat lips at a crabshack so Skyrim and Uncharted 3 might have to wait till xmas. I'm cited for the new Silent Hill but I'll wait for scores first, it better not fail.

Wait, they confirmed they are releasing digital and blu ray versions of RE4 and CV, are the digital versions going to cost less than the disc versions? If so, that's a first. Because the digital versions are $14 euro I think. From what I have read.

just got off phone with gamestop...the resident evil remakes will only be available through digital distribution in na and europe. apparently there was some miscommunication that led people to believe we were getting a boxed release, but we are not. there is an article on the sixth axis clearing up this matter as well. no boxed release for us. japan is getting boxed releases. maybe that is what has cuased the confusion.

I'm definitely getting Uncharted 3, Saints Row the third, Battlefield 3, Twisted Metal, Batman and COD MW3. I'm not to sure about Rage though.

I know it might seem a BIT crazy, but I think i'm looking forward to Saints Row more than any other game on the list and I LOVE the Uncharted series.

Thank God for preorders!! Means the money I save now goes towards paying for a lot of those games coming out between Sept and Dec.

I already have Gears 3, Uncharted 3, Resistance 3, Batman Arkham City, ICO/SotC HD and MGS Collection on preorder and mostly paid off. Deus Ex, Twisted Metal, Assassin's Creed Revelations and Battlefield 3 I'm gonna wait for a big ol' price drop. Skyrim I'm gonna wait for the DLC to come out then get the GOTY Edition of Skyrim discounted well into next year.

As for early 2012, I've got Mass Effect 3 and Bioshock Infinite in my sights. SSX could be great, but am gonna wait for Ben's review on that one.

I have no interest in NFS The Run or Modern Warfare 3. Saints Row The Third, Silent Hill Downpour, RAGE and Dark Souls I might check out during next year's big mid-year drought.

My wallet is doing pretty well so far during this drought. I just hope my savings won't deplete too fast with Sept, Oct and Nov fast approaching. God, I can't wait for Uncharted 3 and Gears 3!!! AND the MGS and ICO Collection!!! Mass Effect 3 and Bioshock Infinite can't come soon enough!!!

As for the rest of you struggling to decide which games are worth getting Day 1, good luck! I've made my decisions, I hope you can make yours. :)

Hey, Ben, this is off-topic, but can you write about Level-5's possible localizations of its other games? Level-5 International America is holding a poll on Facebook on which Level-5 game is the most wanted localized game. Among the list is the PS3 version of Ninokuni. Here's the article from Playstation Lifestyle.

The fall is the hardest time of the year for me to get the games I want because of the holidays. Uncharted 3 is definitely on my list, but I have to pay more attention to how much I spend and that makes it a tough decision on the other 2 or 3 games I'll probably be able to get. I have to make sure I don't put myself at the top of my gift buying list as that spot is reserved for my daughter.

Batman and Ace Combat are the other games I'm most interested in, but Ace Combat seems to have changed a lot from what I've seen in videos. I'm not sure I'll like what they've done that makes it look like a different franchise to me.

I want to have Silent Hill higher on my list, but I'm skeptical about the execution. I've really been wanting to play an old school-style survival horror game lately. I even went so far as to get the original Clock Tower on my phone for nostalgia. Does anyone think Downpour will actually deliver? I'm hoping, but not so sure yet...

nowhere near as bad as september, in fact this has gotta be the first year where septembers got more games releasing then october/november.
septembers normally got maybe 3 or 4, its normally october and november that are the fullest.
this year though its quite the opposite, partly thanks to all the HD remakes releasing.
i mean did i miss the meeting or something?
when did the law pass saying HD collections are only allowed to release in september?

That probably works out pretty well. Pick up Uncharted 3 when it comes out, then after a few months, when you're ready to buy Batman or Battlefield (or any others), they should be about $40 on Amazon already.

Only three of those games I'm grabbing at launch (Uncharted 3, AssCreed Revelations and Batman: Arkham City; notable mention to Ratchet & Clank: All 4 One as well). The rest I'll wait until next year to play (Skyrim notably; I just don't need a time sink right now, no matter how enticing) whereas some I don't even care about (Modern Warfare 3, Battlefield 3, Need for Speed: The Run, Rage, Ace Combat: Assault Horizon, etc.)

It's funny, most of my purchases this Fall will be HD remakes. Seriously, God of War Origins HD, Resident Evil 4 HD, plus Team Ico HD collection and maaaaybe Splinter Cell HD (that or I'll grab it eventually) are the only games I'm grabbing in September so far. Then Oddworld HD and Metal Gear Solid HD soon after.

But yeah. This Fall is making my wallet hurt. Badly. Thank God I paid for most of the games I listed already. Ugh, my social life is screwed. haha

Why did this have to be the fall with SOOOO many amazing games?! Anyway, this is how I'm breaking it down...

DAY 1 BUY
- Batman: Arkham City
- Battlefield 3
- God of War Origins Collection
- ICO/Shadow of the Colossus Collection
- Journey
- Metal Gear Solid HD Collection
- Resident Evil 4 HD
- Tekken Hybrid
- Uncharted 3: Drake's Deception

DOWN THE ROAD (& ASKING FOR CHRISTMAS)
- Assassin's Creed: Revelations
- Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3
- Goldeneye Reloaded
- Need for Speed: The Run
- Silent Hill HD Collection
- Silent Hill: Downpour
- Twisted Metal

Yeah, it doesn't look like my brokeness is going anywhere! :D

Oh the other Killer is....I need to upgrade my old 30g Fatty to a sleek new 500g unit! EVERYTHING IS DLC now AND some of the games I've been looking at have as much as 5g of download to them! Heck that's more than my first Windows PC had! ;)

Phew, with a wife, two kids, dog, two cars and a mortgage, that doesn't leave too much time or money for games.

Make the most of your time young uns...;-)

Uncharted 3 is the only one I'll probably get day one! That will last me a month! Hopefully pick a few up later when they are cheaper.

One good thing about a packed Sep-Nov is that it leaves a lot of excellent games available for the rest of the year at a cheaper price.

Totally agree with this article. I really never understood why games never release in the summer that much. I mean people seem to have more time due to summer vacation and work vacations.

I will be broke come Christmas lol.

but even if you wanted most of them surely you could not play them all in a short span ? just decide which ones to buy used later. They really should spread the titles over the year though.....
