Uncharted 3,

Killzone 3,

Dead Space 2,

Little Big Planet 2,

Arkham Asylum 2 (Arkham City),

Mass Effect 3,

Infamous 2,

Marvel Vs. Capcom 3

Lego Star Wars 3,

Dragon Age 2,

Resistance 3,

etc. etc. etc.

Anybody else think that the year will likely be dominated by sequels rather than new IP or brand-new games/concepts?

[p.s. please don't just list games that aren't going to sequels; I'm not saying ALL games out next year are sequels; just that there seems to be an extraordinary amount in 2011]

Sure seems to be. I don't mind though, I mean why not go with what works? UC3, LBP2, and Socom 4 are the only titles I will pick up next year.

No originality, or what?

You forgot the new SSX.

Itt's super sequelly... because we haven't had one in 6 years.

You could probably come up with a similarly long list of sequels for any year.

What's wrong with sequels? New IPs are risky.

Yeah, it's a lot of sequels, but there are some choice titles on that list... no complaints for me.
