FFXIII most likely. Not unless there's some major changes to the franchise beyond the battle system. I don't care much for games that require a lot of sitting around watching, and that rules out a lot of JRPGs. I want to play games, not sit around watching them.
Ditto MGS4.I tried the second MGS on the Xbox,and didn't care for it.The first part was all right, though too dialogue heavy for my taste. Then Raiden was introduced, and it was all I could to do to play it a few more hours. What a horrible whiny douche of a character. I later tried MGS:TS on the Gamecube. Snake was more tolerable, but I got turned off for the same reason I don't care for the recent FF games. The game was far too cutscene heavy. Characters took forever to finally die, instead going on and on about how much they hate war, but became a mercenary because their fathers didn't like them. Yadda, yadda. On top of that, I really can't stand a lot of the goofy "stylish" action in the cutscenes, like Snake jumping on that missle, or dodging bullets,etc.
Ontopofthat, I just didn't care for the main gameplay. Though, to be fair this was more due to my own expectations. When MGS got raves for being thef irsts tealthgame (though,it came out around the same time Thief hit the PC), I was hoping for something more along the lines of Thief and the Splinter Cell series (which has far more in common with Thiefthan it does MGS).
We'll see how much these games have in common with theirpredecessors.If it's more of the same, I'll pass. I'm hoping the new games surprise me.
Haze looks interesting. I'm not expecting too much with Killzone 2. The first game didn't set the world on fire like it was hyped to, but it was still worth a few hours of fun despite the technical issues and the bland level design and repetitive combat encounters.
