Good looking upcoming games that are NOT FPSs?

[monroeski]

My current comp went on the fritz, so I'm buying a new one. I'm thinking about splurging on a Radeon 9800 Pro, but then I realized that while I know there are some games coming out that I want to get, for the life of me I can't remember them. I know I want KotOR and Invisible War, but what is coming out next year that is NOT an FPS (because those are all I think of when I think of upcoming games, HL2, Doom3, Stalker, Far Cry, etc., and I don't really even WANT any of those).

If I can't think of anything that great, I'm just going to get a 9600XT and save myself $140 or so.

If you want KOTOR and Invisible War, get an Xbox instead :)

I can't vouch for Invis War, but KOTOR is awsome on the box. I'm turning into a console person because all the games coming out now would just destroy my computer.

Well, World of Warcraft is the biggie for most people. Warcraft 3 is also a ton of fun right now. Stalker is a kind of FPS/RPG game that will be out next year as well. Empires: Dawn of the Modern Era is also fun if you liked Empire Earth and such. Tribes Vengence will also be coming out, and I think it is way better than most FPS games.

If Vengence improves on T2 that would rock. I love the Tribes series. But it's only good if you have broadband, but then again, most people these days do.

KOTOR's better on the computer.

And if it would just destroy your computer...that's what upgrades are for :p

How is it better on computer? Does it have extra gameplay or something? If it's just better graphics I don't care.

Yes, I'd love to build a new computer (upgrading is pointless, everything is old) but I'm not going to have any money till I finish college. With consoles I know the game will work.

Anyways I'm getting off topic, I can't really think of any good games coming out next year for PC. The ones that get the most hype are usually shooters.

[monroeski]

There are differences for PC other than the graphics, but I'm not sure exactly what they are. I believe there are new weapons, characters, maybe a few quests or something, but I know there are added things.

[WildWeasel]

how about B.C.? i'm really hoping that one lives up to the hype...

I'd pick up Beyond and evil.

actually very soon :)

I haven't even heard of a guess on the release date. I can't wait to play this one since you actually have armies this time.
