What upcoming games are you looking forward too? But none of them Big name games like "Half life2". I'm talking about the games that got little or no hype/press.

I'm looking forward to Rag doll kung fu. It's a one-man job made by Mark Healey from Lionhead studios. The game is a beat 'em up of sorts, but the characters arn't restricted to just pre-set punches and kicks, the character fights by you clicking and dragging his body parts around, this can make for some ingenius fighting.

Of couse, you don't have to just fight, encoded gametypes include: Ninja assult (Survival mode/fighting), Soccer(Football to the english) and althetics.

Due out some time in 2005.

Hrm... A low profile game you say? Hmm...

I'd have to say Wild Arms: Alter Code F, and Growlanser Generations.

Ah yes, Ragdoll Kung Fu I await with great anticipation. Previewed it a while back:

Quoted :: The Pope

How Do I Unlock It?
That’s right, you have no keys! This is how possibly the single developer, Mark Healey, currently at Lionhead studios, thought up the game concept for the martial arts fighting game. You might well have one or two keys for some defining moves or to release a certain charged up move, but other than that, all movement is done through clicking and dragging the characters limbs and body parts through the air and towards your opponent. It’s the kind of innovative game design that all of us wish we had come up with but hadn’t. It’s extremely original and opens up the dam to a torrent of new ideas and modifications it could bring.

Look, A Distraction!
Of course, violence isn’t the focus point of the whole game. There’s a football you can have a kick about with, you could re-enact your favourite scene from a movie or just hang around and chat about the weather. There’s no limits as to what you can do, since there’s no prescripted animations or movements, you’re free to do what you want to.

Just imagine joining a server with some friends already on and having a break dancing competition or a Simon Says round? Things to do with the game’s unique movement style would be in abundance and they’d ripple through the forums like a belly flop into a swimming pool.

A Prophet Speaks
There is only one thing that looks to either make or break this game in the future; and that thing is customisability of the game. It’s all well and good playing out Chinese martial arts characters but wouldn’t it be great to create your own matrix characters and then have the ability of bullet time fighting? Or sailing upon a ship in a pirates costume while you fight off invaders?

An interactive environment, the ability to record matches or meetings online, editable speeches and taunts, physical endurance games and precise but quick movement would make this game a classic.

And with the already promised abilities to have 8 players on a single computer (for XP only), this game looks to be the best present you could buy or play at a party. There’ll only be a small fee that’ll need to be paid either online or at your local retail store. Sensei over and out!



Another game I looking forward to from Lionhead Studios is The Movies where you create your own movies with sim stylee characters and sets and props. It has a management/tycoon twist too.

Guild Wars is another one. A fantasy MMORPG without the subscription fees. Learning moves is as easy as buying them from a shop and fighting is as easy as making a group with other players and taking on the quest. Nice and simple.

Possibly all the worms games were quiet upcoming games. And I have looked forward to every single one of those.

I also anticipate Trains and Trucks Tycoon, a 3D version of Transport Tycoon which I fear may have been stopped halfway through developing.

Considing the press release date was set for March of 2002, it's safe to say it doesn't have a publisher. And it doesn't because I just checked GameFAQs, and it tells me there's no publisher. So, unless there's another game by the same name recently announced or unlisted, then your hopes are for naught. Sorry :/.

I had a look at that Rag Doll Kung Fu game on it's webpage.
And it looks pretty good, so I'm waiting for that to come out.

Also, maybe a big game such as 'Half Life 2'. But I egarly anticipate the arrival of GTA:San Andreas on the PC in April.

There are a hell of alot of remakes happening with Transport Tycoon at the moment. This includes Chris Sawyer's Locomotion and a Transport Empire, a game made by the fans. For more details than you'll ever need about Transport Tycoon consult an old forum I used to go on: www.tt-forums.net

I'd say Alien Hominid (Gamecube or PS2), once a Flash game (can be found @ Newgrounds), it looks quite fun. It's not really an upcoming game since it's already out... but, whatever.
