FYI according to GAME LA Noire is out tomorrow, [20/May/11], not June like you have it there, they also have DE:HR listed as 28/Aug/2011 mine: G - xx/08/2011- Space Marine G - 26/08/2011 - Deus Ex: Human Revolution G - 21/10/2011 - Batman: Arkham City G - xx/xx/2012 - Mass Effect 3 G - xx/xx/xxxx - Half Life [Episode] 3
This thread is a really good idea IMO. If it's done properly and kept updated, maybe we should make it a sticky? It may be a good idea to add a source column as well.
Added: Sandy Bridge-E Ivy Bridge Walking Dead - Season 2 Guild Wars 2 Add your own interests as well guys. Are we getting Nvidia 600's and ATi 7000's this year?
There is no way in hell Deus Ex and Diablo 3 (in hell, geddit?) will launch on the same day. D3 will move.
I've moved Diablo 3 to a confirmed 2011 release, I got the actual date from Gameplay.co.uk but agree we can't possibly have 2 giants colliding on the same day, and cannot find any agreement on Gameplay's date.
I'm only going to bump this once. But for a decent reason/question ... I think this should be an updated information page within Bit-Tech itself - another great reason for using the website? Users could request items added to the list and the mod in charge could use their judgement whether an album collection of Nyan Cat songs is a worthy addition. Certainly hardware release dates whether actuals or fuzzy would be really handy (to me). What do people think? Would it require too much work for the website to have one? Could also be a neat little chart-feature in the mag (last time I looked there wasn't anything like this). added: Windows 8 F.E.A.R 3
I know it's not a game, or hardware, but the London 2012 Olympics is a pretty big......faff And then it's obvious EA will release a game too. Sam
Fixed MW3 Added 2012 Olympics I want to add AMD Bulldozer chips but can't seem to find any idea of dates ... will we see them before 2012? Ideally this needs to be turned in to an actual site page instead of a forum thread. It's damn fiddly to edit all the data in the small text input box and one slip and it's all gone
Guild Wars 2 has "probably" been bounced to 2012... http://www.videogamer.com/news/ncsoft_announces_guild_wars_2_beta.html
Fixed: Guild Wars Added: Carmageddon Countdown, Golden Joystick Awards, Windows Phone 7.1, Grand Theft Auto 5, Uncharted 3 Whatever you think people should know about can get added. Uncharted is a major franchise like Grand Theft Auto, so definitely!
