That's pretty fucking awesome and here I thought this year was pretty great.
So 2011 is going to be the best year for games ever huh?
" It seems like every end of the year, somebody makes the announcement that next year will be game of the year. just like Sony fanboys claim the next year will be their year *spoiler, still hasn't happened here. does look like a fantastic year though. "I mean dude how many years have an Elder scrolls game and Deus ex game and 2 bioware games in them?
Technically three if your into MMOs
" I remember thinking that about this year, only to have many of them disappoint. "Well you are to hard to please because Alpha Protocol was fucking awesome.
Many more would disagree than agree. Thinking that Alpha Protocol was 'fucking awesome' more makes you seem like someone who's easy to please." @Abyssfull said:

Oh and Samurai warriors 3 extreme legends is coming out for all systems in 2011, so yes 2011 is the best.
" @trophyhunter: yeah I understand. It will be amazing. Elder Scrolls will be great. I really hope they make some major overhauls to the engine. "I just hope people don't look incredibly ugly any more.

" More and more games every year have a number on the end. "Well if you don't like it, stop playing games. Sequels,prequels, and reboots are the best thing that ever happened to games.

" @Hailinel: @trophyhunter: yeah major overhaul means to completely redo characters and their animations. The graphics could use a major bump too but I just don't see them having too much time to create an entirely new engine, unless they've had a side team working on it. "It took them 4 years to make the Fallout 3 engine which really does not look much better then gamebyo's

The Fallout 3 engine is the Gamebryo engine.

Should be a good year, but like everybody else has said; it sure as hell won't beat 1998. There's still a lot of 2010 and 2009 games I have to play >.>

Sure, if you really need one.

2011 is definitely going to be a busy year of amazing games, and my wallet pre-emptively weeps for when the Holiday season rolls around. But if you look at the games that all came out in 1998 (Starcraft, Ocarina of Time, Metal Gear Solid, Thief, Half-Life, Grim Fandango, Rainbow Six, the first Pokemon, Parasite Eve, Baldur's Gate, and MORE), it has hard to argue that it was a time of wild ambition, enthusiasm and really is the beginning of the modern age of gamming. A lot of the basic game design strategies that we still see in games today can be traced back to releases that came out in that one year. Have better games come out since then? Sure, tons, but I can think very few years that had so many games that had a wider impact than this one. It was amazing at the time, and history has proven it to be a watershed moment for game dseign.
Now will 2011 possibly reveal itself to be just an exciting and influential down the line? I'm not ruling out the possibility, but it really is hard to imagine that the lightning and energy that defined 1998 will ever be captured again.
