So what are we left with?

[vhal_x]

Was just having a think about big releases at the end of the year, and how there doesn't seem to be many... at all!

There is Halo 4, Assassin's Creed III, Black Ops 2...

There's no doubt a couple more than that, but since Bioshock Infinite has been delayed to Feb 2013, Tomb Raider has just gained a release date of March 2013, and there was one other thing that's been delayed till Feb, can't think of what now... There doesn't seem like there's gonna be too many games to worry about this year?

Is there? xx

EDIT: I have made a list of releases that are due out at the end of the year that include some form of CE, aswell as the names of the CEs that are available for each game beside them. I'll continue to add to the list as the months go on, but for now, it appears that we're gonna have a pretty quiet year this year! xx

Borderlands 2?

[vhal_x]

Ah yes, knew I was forgetting something, can't believe it's the one I've most recently preordered though :facepalm: xx

[Madigan]

November 20th; Hitman: Absolution

August 21st; Sniper: Ghost Warrior 2

Resident Evil 6, The last of us (maybe)


I started saving money for next year, Q1 is gonna be a pain in the wallet

[vhal_x]

Haven't included Hitman Absolution as there's no proper CE for it, just a shitty DLC one, hopefully something better is announced soon. Should add Sniper though, considering I've got it ordered haha xx

[scottcross]

It sounding way to quiet on the CE front this year (big sigh of relief from my bank account), the only one i looking forward to is AC3, I got the freedom and join or die editions on order

[Madigan]

The Hitman: Absolution - Professional Edition? It comes with an artbook, making of dvd and some DLC pack.

[vhal_x]

I know, I've got that ordered, I was just meaning because it's barely any content, I was gonna hold off until a proper CE gets announced (if one does) since it should hopefully get something better xx

[SquirrelRaper]

The Last of Us
God of War: Ascension
PlayStation All-Stars Battle Royale
Ni no Kuni: Wrath of the White Witch
Dead Or Alive 5
Ratchet & Clank Collection
Record of Agarest War 2
Gravity Rush
Atelier Meruru: The Apprentice of Arland

Of course whatever collector editions follow them.

E3 is in a few days, so we will know more soon. XD
Kingdom Hearts HD remakes rumored for E3!!!

[vhal_x]

I'll add all of those once CEs are announced :) although R&C won't get a CE I don't think. There's a new R&C game (Full Frontal Assault) coming out later in the year but I don't know if it's to get a CE or anything.

Atelier Meruru is already out is it not? I thought that came out like yesterday or something haha ? xx

Haha yeah, I forgot that it did. Mine hasn't arrived yet lmao.

And Im not sure about the New R&C, we are only getting it on the PSN in the US but Im sure you guys will get s disc...and I'll have to get it then XD They did the same thing with Quest for Booty, we got it on the PSN and you guys got it on a disc.

[Jadezfire]

Thank you for the list! :) its hard to keep track of all this stuff being the noob that I am lol

[davidw]

Techically not a CE but there is a rumour they could be doing a Hitman Collection a la MGS HD Collection - could end up with CE similar the MGS if we are very lucky :)

[themidlandmaster]

Pretty meh list aside from borderlands and assassins creed...

[ingmar1988]

I though risen was allready out?

Also you can add aliens that was today announced.

[vhal_x]

Risen is already out for the PC, but not for consoles, and Aliens doesn't come out until 2013 xx

[comaamen86]

seems plenty to me, good call on the hread i wondered when someone would make one, here is a pancake rabbit for your trouble :bunny:

[Vlad]

I know, I've got that ordered, I was just meaning because it's barely any content, I was gonna hold off until a proper CE gets announced (if one does) since it should hopefully get something better xx

Yeah, what happened to the big, ultra-fancy edition that they said they would release?
I remember seeing them mention that but then nothing after that until the Professional Edition which, tbh I find a bit boring - the only good sounding bit about it imo is the box.

[Saturn]

You forgot Raven's Cry from Germany, but I don't know the current release date.

That's a lot of stuff, damn!

[NaughtyDogJames]

The new one's a smaller game like quest or booty.

[Ionotropic]

Agarest 2 already has a CE announced here:

http://www.ghostlight.uk.com/games/sony-ps3.html

Also, someone should start a group buy on that Deluxe Edition!

I agree!

[Matrix6]

I'm expecting 'Dishonered' to receive a mild CE :)

Ni no Kuni isn't expected until early next year, I hope we deserve a CE for it, even if just a small one.

Having a look at the France/Belgium 'Premium Edition' of Darksiders II, it appears to be exactly the same contents as the normal English Collector's Edition to me. :-/

It was said that the mask will be numbered, not sure if this is still up to date but the amazon.fr item descriptions listed the following:

Masque de Death : masque numéroté, taille réelle (hauteur : 21 cm / Largeur : 17 cm), poids de 630 gr. Modèle exclusif France

[Matrix6]

I just had a look, that's very interesting!
I wonder if the measurements of the mask are the same as the non-numbered versions?

[vhal_x]

Oh yeah, forgot about the numbered Darksiders II CE, got that on order aswell - wasn't expecting it to stay numbered though, so was planning on cancelling... Shit. Need to work out how I can afford that one now :P xx

[vhal_x]

[Ionotropic]
