I think that Unreal will be competition for Quake2, but I'm sure Unreal
won't deter people from Quake2.

Prey, hmm... again, it's a new engine, so it'll either flop or it'll be
big. I don't pay much attention to Prey though.

 These are my pics for the up-comming 3-d games (which ones I think will do
good)

Quake 2 will be a major hit with the Quake community.  Again, not many
people realize this, but a lot of gamers DO NOT play Quake.  It isn't a game
for everyone.

Half-Life: With some amazing AI, this game using the original, al beit
"tweeked" Quake engine is gonna attract a lot of attention (it already has
actually :)

SiN: I dont know much about this one, except that the creators of Mission
pack 1 are creating it (correct me if i'm wrong)

Unreal: I feel this game is going to create another "war" much like the Duke
Nukem vs. Quake war we all had to go through earlier last year.  I think
it's just going to be one of those games you have to play for yourself.
However, having the opportunity to play a Test Level of Unreal I can only
say that you'd better have a pumping system (slow on my P-200, with 32 megs
RAM).  Sure the 16-bit color is beautiful, but it is extremely slow, like
running Quake in 1028x720 in windows alloting 10 megs ram.  Like 8 fps slow
:(

Duke Nukem Forever: This sure does sound interesting.  3-D realms liscened
the Quake 2 engine for Duke Nukem Forever, so I expect to see a really great
game from the Duke series.  Probably featuring a ton of creative genius and
inovation.

Prey: Looks completely lame, will probably be eclipsed by Quake 2 and
Half-life, and Unreal.  (maybe not but it hasn't sturred up much attention
so far)

Hexen 2: I definatly will NOT end up buying this game.  But fans of the
original Hexen will probably celebrate.  I've had a chance to see a few of
the levels from Quake Con... what can I say except for pure level designing
genius.  The levels really look great and take the Quake engine to a whole
new level.
