What games do you think will just plain suck or be horrible but yet it still has a lot of hype about it? For me it would have to be Halo 3. Everyones all excited about it yet i find my self not caring much at all for its release. Although even if the game is horrible millions upon millions of people are going to buy it.
If a game sells millions, it's not a failiure.
Especially if that game is the last in the series (but not the franchise). The other games will have to make their own headway and convince us they're awesome.

You make a valid enough point, bu still: It might still be a failure in the gameplay department, even if it's a financial success... And then people are disenchanted with the franchise.
Mario Galaxy... I'm worried about that one. It looks gimmicky, and I've not really enjoyed 3D Mario games since the granddaddy of them all, Super Mario 64...

Ok true If it sales it isnt a failure but i meant more that if the gameplay didnt live up to the hype then it was a failure.

If you've already bought it, they don't really care what you do with it after the fact. If you buy it and hate it and then toss it in a wood chipper, they've still got your money.

Heavenly Sword, to me, seems over hyped and people are comparing it to God of War. It is NEVER a good idea to compare a new IP with an excellent game, that just spells aweful game...
hence in point, Harvey Birdman, I heard that it will be like Phoenix wright. I played the demo at Comic-con, yea its similar, and has some hilarious dialog, but the gameplay didnt feel like a PW game at all.....
Mario & Sonic @ the olympics as well, that sounds interesting, saying it will be almost enhanced gameplay like Wii Sports.... I just see that bombing so badly...
That is all for now, from me anyways.
That's right, I'm producing something. Expect something to come out of my new production studio.

A-Unresponsive controls
B-Lack of difficulty
C-Length
Though I think FFXII:RW will be awesome and can't wait to get it, thats just my feeling.
I must say I think Rock Band has the potential to fail, sure you can play online with your mates to cut cost, but I think the mass of GH players are not going to want to play online. They are forcing you by having a small list of songs from the start (from what I've heard) and making you pay/download more songs online every week. Tap it with a large price point, and if a certain 500-600$ console shows us anything, the masses are stingy with their money, how many people want to buy a 200$ game when GH3 gives the same basic play for 150$ less?

But because I've never played the original I don't know how to be disappointed. And I'm a fan of flying games like StarFox 64 and Rogue Leader so It could float my boat. The trailer however rocks.
I'm going to wait for the reviews before I buy.

I think it'll be a good game though. After checking the site every day, it'd better be good.

IMO Halo 3. After looking at these trailers it doesn't honestly look like anything new.
The trailers don't show off alot of the new stuff, pick up a copy of the new EGM and check out its last preview of Halo 3 before its release, it makes Halo 2 look like a sham of a sequel they are adding so much content into this one

Why wouldn't the mass of GH players not want to play online? Considering Rock Band's pricing plan hasn't been announced. Considering that nothing conclusive about the number of songs has been announced (or else someone'd have started a Rock Band topic here or at other places I visit). Considering that, in order to play Rock Band, you're gonna need a 350$ console or a 500$ one. I think you're jumping the shark here.
Keep in mind, there is a good possibility that it will suck massively. However, it's a possibility and nothing more.

I would never buy a game that forces me to buy stuff afterwards for it to work best. Never.
If they do this, then yes. It will fail completely.

Whatever the case, the downloadable content will include full albums. That more gives it more potential in my eyes to not fail.

Exactly.
Saying Rock Band will fail with the small amount of info we have right now is condemning all games to fail, quite frankly. I chose to say it has a possibility to fail if they do stupid shit, but based on Harmonix' previous offerings in the genre, I don't think it will.
Unlike, say, FFXIII, which I already think will suck because of S-E's tendency to not make games I like.

Regardless of if the downloadable content is free or must be purchased, $199 is still quite a bit of money for some people to throw down for one game. I think it will score well with reviewers, but I can see GH3 selling more copies, also GH3 looks like its going to come out first. Also consider that Rock Band will get lots of downloadable content, free or not, means there may not be as many songs when you open the box, and there are still quite a few people who don't have their 360/PS3 online yet. Remember the "mass of GH2" people own the game on the PS2, and may not have the 350$ or 500$ console needed to play the game. I can see most of the 360 GH2 owners picking up RB who can go online, but how many mothers are going to spend 200$ to buy their child 1 game for christmas?

Except that nobody knows if it'll be 199$ or not since it's all speculation at that point.

No, seriously... I think Fable won't live up to the hype. What? How many years ago? Ugh...
Okay, now the for real serious. Halo 3 has been too over hyped. And, uhh, might I remind you what happened to the ridiculously hyped Fable?

Knowing how masochistic I am about such games, I'll probably get the whole bundle. Especially if the online is properly implemented.

I think the whole of Rock Band is that you pick one instrument that you like and your good at, find other people who play the other instruments (online) and then you make the band. Of course if you couldn't go online to play this game I don't think there would be much point unless you knew three other people how had the other three different peripherals or you where rich/stupid and you brought the rest of them.

That's so impossible it's not even funny. The box would be huge and the stores would have a hard time stocking it. Obviously you'll be able to buy seperate instruments.
