I think some of the biggest games for this generation will release in the next 5-6 months. If you look at all the games that will be releasing between now and the end of March it is hard to argue. Who needs next gen when you have such great games to look forward to. Here is a list of a few games that I think are/will be outstanding among the rest.

October

23 Forza Horizon & Medal of Honor: Warfighter

30 Need for Speed: Most Wanted & Assassin's Creed III

31 Natural Selection 2

November

6 Halo 4

13 Call of Duty: Black Ops 2

20 Hitman: Absolution

December

4 Far Cry 3

12 Hawken

January

15 DmC: Devil May Cry

February

Crysis 3

5 Dead Space 3

12 Aliens: Colonial Marines

19 Metal Gear Solid: Rising Revengeance

26 Bioshock: Infinite

March

5 Tomb Raider

12 God of War: Ascension

19 Gears of War: Judgement

Possible Releases in Q1 2013

ARMA 3

Beyond: Two Souls

Fuse

Metro: Last Light

SimCity

The Last of Us

Grand Theft Auto V

When I made this list I tried to look at console exclusives, games that have a yearly release, and games that make sense.

God of War: Ascension is coming out on the PS3 in March so don't expect God of War IV in 2013.

Part of Naughty Dog is working on The Last of Us so I wouldn't expect Uncharted IV in 2013.

People Can Fly/Epic is working on Gear of War: Judgment which is also coming out in March for the 360, so Gears of War IV won't see the light of day for a while.

I agree with 1313 being only next gen/pc. Game looks amazing so far.

Which games do you predict to be launch titles?

I think there will be a lot of cross generation games. Take Call of Duty for example. I think it will release on PC, 360, PS3, WiiU, Xbox Next, and PS4 all at the same time. If you purchase the PC, Xbox Next, or PS4 versions you will get all the bells and whistles (more players per game/better graphics etc.). I think they will try to support current gen systems excluding the Wii for at least 3 years after the next gen consoles release.

Here are some of the games that I think will be Next Gen/Cross Gen:

Assassins's Creed (unannounced title)

Battlefield 4

Call of Duty (unannounced title)

Doom 4

Halo (unannounced spin-off title)

Rainbox 6: Patriots

Star Wars: 1313

Watch Dogs

who needs next gen when you have so many great games releasing in the fall of this year and the spring of next...

Lets make it to 500 votes...

Looks awesome but honestly wouldn't be surprised if this will release on current and next gen consoles. Looks way too good for current gen...

Borderlands 2 ftw

It bums me out there isn't more excitement for Black Ops II.

Im going to purchase Black Ops 2, most of the people that hate on it will buy it...

So much of the hatred just seems to stem from FPS/COD fatigue, though, which is understandable. It just pains me to see that a lot of people are overlooking the seriously colossal changes Treyarch are bringing to the table to re-invent and/or re-vitalise the series because of it.

Yeah it's sad. I am really looking forward to Black Ops 2. I really enjoyed wager matches in the 1st one. I think Black Ops 2, Halo 4, and Gears: Judgment will be the biggest competitive multiplayer games that will be out prior to next gen consoles.
