Sins Makes IGN's Most Anticipated of 2007 List - Twice

Congratulations Ironclad! That must've been quite a pat on the back.

And yes, I am also curious about the Beta.

Congrats Ironclad. You guys deserve this, and many of the awards to come.

Good news like this should mean that the beta will be out sooner... *hint hint* right?

oh and a link would have been nice.....

IGN Link

Nope. Beta's still on track for next month at the earliest.

do i have to do ALL the work? dont you see the frontpage before watching the forum?
But anyways the link is up

Yeah, bet they use all there time on playing and not coding as they should

What's great to know is that the other top ten are not even RTS's. Definitely a good year to surprise the gaming public.

And suprisingly enough Spore was on all three lists....

Spore...... hmmm never heard of it... /Sarcasm

And suprisingly enough Spore was on all three lists....

It may be quite a dissapointment. The evolution seems great, but the UFO part is (as was presented) totally weird. No fleets, wars, just one UFO wreaking havoc.

The ufo in spore i dont mind. But the real question, can your civilisation goto war, without any need help form the user?

My own, Most Anticipated of 2007 List:

1. Sins of a Solar Empire
2. Spore
3. S.T.A.L.K.E.R.
4. Pirates of the Burning Sea
5. Supreme Commander
6. Star Trek Online (even though its more likly to be out in 2008)
6. Crysis
7. Diablo III
8. Duke Nukem forever (haha)
9. Fallout 3 (please oh please)
10. Rocky Balboa

All are PC versions

but the UFO part is (as was presented) totally weird. No fleets, wars, just one UFO wreaking havoc.

so the game starts out good and gets progressively worse...
sounds good.

Congrats ironclad, that'll generate quite some free pr for the game, which will be much appreciated by the community (the bigger the better.)

well, my top 6 so far
1 Supreme Commander
2 Sins of a solar empire
3 Halo 2 for PC
4 Hellgate london
5 Spore
6 Halflife 2
7 Crysis

Sorry guys, sins is not on top, for the simple fact that Supcom will be here first.

1 Sins
2 the next guild wars?
3 Supreme commander (if it doesnt boil down to shit, AND if it runs on my PC)
4 Halo 3 (woopie!!!)
5 Crysis
6 Anything that tickles my fancy

not all CP games, but w/e

And the third guy's name is "Butts." You don't wanna be on his list anyways

Congrats

1. Sins (But i'm thinking sins is going to be a 2008 game. Call me pessimistic if you like.)
2. Galciv 2 DA
3. Supreme commander, the beta is tons of fun.
4. Ufo afterlight (Seems to be shaping up pretty well)
5. Ufo-extraterresials (I'm just a sucker for x-com type games)
6. Silent hunter 4.
7. Plus tonnes more 2007 seems to be a good year for pc gaming. (Check out this link with list of pcgames in 2007

2008 and beyond
Fallout 3
Sins
Maybe starcraf 2

Sins will not be a 2008 game.

UFO Afterlight?...uh oh there goes another 30 hours of my life

starcraft 2....maybe, but not likely

nice list

Added to my new "Keep an eye on this game" list

Disciples II: Dark Prophecy was one of best turn-based fantasy strategy games of last few years. It was released in 2002, around the same time such "monsters" of this subgenre like Heroes4, Age of Wonders 2 and Etherlords were released.

Bwhahahaha, where are they getting these lies from? noone liked disciples, the game sucked and was vastly outclassed by Heroes 4 AoW2 and etherlords.


Heart of Empire: Rome seems like fun,

Sins of the Solar Empire Epic 4X space empire building strategy with mix of Homeworld-like combat, made by ex members of Barkin dog

excuse me, what game???

Galactic Civilizations 2: Dark Avatar Add-on to 9.0 game

wohoo

Celtic Kings2 Finally in 3D, previous games in the series wer both AAs

erm...you mean the one they released in 2004?? If celtic kings 3 is meant, that is nothing but an upsuported rumour

Mount and Blade Indie RPG with revolutionary combat system(realistic swordplay, archery, mounted combat, total ownage) http://www.taleworlds.com/mb_download.html

Sounds like Die by the Sword, which ruled

My new watchlist includes:

Penumbra, Enosta, armed assault (New flashpoint? figners crossed)
ET quake wars, They hunger (woot zombies), left 4 dead (woot more zombies) all seem like nice games for next year.

BattlestarGalactica: Beyond the Red Line sounds like it'll be fun, but probably not surpasing the REAL FS2. more free stuff in Starsiege 2845. (Go starsiege)

Er, ok, since everyone else is doing it, my top 6.

Sins/GC2 DA (joint 1st)
Supreme Commander
Spore (If it'll run on my PC)
Crackdown
Mass Effect
Halo 3

Basically I will definitely be getting these games at some point.

REAL FS2

Man that game rocked, I still play it even now with the SCP enhancements and remain ever optimistic for a Freespace 3.

Sins of the Solar Empire Epic 4X space empire building strategy with mix of Homeworld-like combat, made by ex members of Barkin dog excuse me, what game???

i think he meant hw:cataclysm made by barking dog! but wasn't the makers of sots had previews experience also with homeworld game? or was that sins? sometimes i get the 2mixed up but game wise the huge difference is no doubt different from each

I think SOTS and SINS both have ex-homeworld staff...

3 Supreme commander (if it doesnt boil down to shit, AND if it runs on my PC)

There are plenty of good omens for this game, PC Gamer gave it 91%, I like to form my own opinions on games, but that is encouraging.

Plus most of the gameplay I've seen so far is awesome, if its fun to watch, it should be fun to play.

The only thing I find a bit iffy is that as soon as your Commander is dead its game over, that seems a bit of a spoil to me. You can have brobdingnagian battles going on and then your commander is killed, it seems like an anticlimax to me.

That and it may cause my computer to melt through the floor.

Thats only when you play the assassination mode.
You can choose between different playing, like: supremacy, where you have to kill all his builders, or total annihilation, where every last building as to die before he losses

Oh cool, never mind then!
