Default So what's the next big adventure game you're waiting for?

I haven't played any adventure games since The Sinking Island (which rocked) and I was wonderin what everybody is waiting for and whats the next big adventure game to come out.

The ones I am waiting for at the moment are Still Life 2, Dreamfall Chapters, Alan Wake & Gray Matter even though none of these have an official release date as of now.

So what ya'll are waitin for?

Mainly Once Upon a Time in Japan (no release date yet) and SBCG4AP (recently got pushed back a month, but it's going to be awesome).

It may not be big to you, but it's based on a Welsh tale (and Jacques is from Wales, so it may be of special interest).

So Blonde as this actually has a chance of being released in English, as it's been released in other languages.

Then Whispered World, which just looks like pure magic in the making. I really hope the story lives up to the visuals.

A Vampyre Story for the same reason as the above.

Still Life 2 as I loved the 1st. Then Grey Matter if it does ever make it out.

Eh???? Excuse me for correcting you, but... err... 'Perspective' I think applies here.

I believe the original question called for subjective opinion. In which case whether, or not, you "doubt it" doesn't actually come in to it at all. Does it? Nor does whether, or not, you agree with my opinion.

As a matter of fact, in Wales, this game is quite highly anticipated by many people (many also being a subjective adjective in this case. ).

Thankyou for your helpful comment though.

Still Life 2, been hoping for this game getting made since the second I finished Still Life....
A Vampyre Story, It just looks so beautiful! Like MI3, which I loved on account of the graphics. (and for the overall greatness of the game ofcourse) I hope the story is as great as it seems too.
aaaand SBCG4AP I love Strongbad. He is like me but cooler.

I don't know if it's just me, but I can't seem to understand why people are so excited about this game. I've seen some screenshot, read the preview, and watched some in-game movies, but I can't say I'm impressed.

I don't mean to offend anyone or anything, I'm just curious about what makes people anticipating this game, and with it being third on the Hype-o-meter and all. Maybe it's because I'm not familiar with the cartoon and the characters. But if anyone wants to enlighten me, I would highly appreciate it.
