Feel free to list any rumored upcoming games here that might approach splendor of HTH...

Well, dunno about upcoming, but I've been playing wipeout hd fury these last few days and it's amazing. Looking forward to playing the motorstorm games as well, since I just got a ps3.

I think most of us only have 360 for better or worse. But, to this list I will add "Dirt Showdown"; comes out 2012... sounds like Dirt3 without rally, which seems kind of weird. They are calling it a spin-off from the core franchise.

That Dirt Showdown game sounds weird. Any idea if it's gonna be made to the same quality as the Dirt franchise series?

It's speculation, but it will probably be high quality. They also say they will subsequently make Dirt4 with rally as the primary the focus... It kind of makes sense to me to split up the series as the Rallying and Gymkanah share little similarity besides both being in cars. Although I didn't like Gymkanah in D3 I will probably get Showdown for the multiplayer. May is the projected release date BTW.
