RPGs in 2007 - Part 1 @ RPGDot

[Dhruin]

RPGDot has kicked up the first of a three-part RPGs of 2007 (http://www.rpgdot.com/index.php?hsaction=10053&ID=1249) article covering anticipated releases for January to April. It's a multi-genre, multi-platform article so you'll find titles such as World of Warcraft: The Burning Crusade through to Children of Mana for the Nintendo DS. The two PC RPGs included are Jade Empire and Dawn of Magic.
More information. (http://www.rpgwatch.com/show/newsbit?newsbit=3100)

Well I suppose if you're covering JRPGs it means you wont have enough place left to mention the indie releases on PC, just a couple of action-rpgs.

[Acleacius]

I hope there are many indies releases in 2007.
Sure glad you guys cover it here, other wise infomation would be lost to many of us. :)

[Corwin]

We will always cover the Indies, most of us are very keen Indie game players!!

[Black Hood]

I noticed one thing in the article is off - The DAoC expansion "Labyrinth of the Minotaur" is not slated for Feb. 2007, it's already out.

QFT! Much love for the indies. :cool:

Let's wait for the other three parts. Because looking at this first one, the next year really doesn't seem to bring anything worth playing.

[Cormac]

But how could they miss that Geneforce 4 for Windows is coming out in the first quarter of 07 ? It's not as though it were an obscure title (in the CRPG world).
And are they listing European dates ? I'm pretty sure FF12 is already out in NA.

[Dhruin]

Well, in theory the list should include high profile titles like The Witcher and Two Worlds (plus Geneforge 4, of course), so the year should be a little more interesting than that article suggests. I'm sure there are others as well - I haven't really dragged through my list.

Interestingly, Children of Mana and Final Fantasy III are already out in the US, just waiting for European release (*why* do they do that).

Geneforge 4 ... sweetness, sweetness, sweetness ;)

[Danicek]

@Cormac, @Dhruin - they are saying this is Part 1. This means other parts will come and so we shouldn't conclude on the coverage before we see all of them.

[Dhruin]

Sure, although the parts are supposed to be chronological with this one covering Jan - Apr, which should cover the other games mentioned. Anyway, I'm not trying to criticise, just pointing out there's more hope for PC RPGers in the early part of the year...in theory. ;)

[Cormac]

Exactly what Dhruin said. Geneforce 4's 1Q release date is pretty much a sure thing, no ?

[Dhruin]

It sure is.

[txa1265]

Exactly what Dhruin said. Geneforce 4's 1Q release date is pretty much a sure thing, no ?

Based on what I've seen with the Mac version and ... um ... other stuff ... um ... I can't see it missing Q1.

[Arma]

Based on the previous Geneforge releases I can't wait for the next one :) Of course, so far I don't believe that a SWS title has missed its intended "ship" date ...
