Stephen

GTA4. UT3 is out already, and is unfortunately a bit sh1te.

tman

GTA IV by a long shot... Can't wait to find out details of the soundtrack, let alone play the damn thing!

User45701

GTA games are crap, the first two where good but they got bollox after that. Not to mention they started to delay pc releases so ****em. There not getting my money and im not playing them...

I would like to see an 08 x-mass release of KOTOR III, roumer mill has been kicked up again now that EA own the rights...

Also Kanes Wraith is a gooden this year. Think thats about it, games have been fairly crap the past few years

Krieg

Spore
GTA IV (Pc release this year?)

Im not anticipating any of the upcoming mmo's
They all sound fairly crap, compared to whats out. Conan may be decent. Will have to wait and see

zilog_jones

- Brawl
- GTA IV, assuming it'll actually be a significant improvement from the previous three games and have a decent story unlike SA (well it was OK, but meh)

I still have yet to buy a new console due to lack of interest.

Riesen_Meal

GTA 4
Resident Evil 5 (if it makes this year)
Alan Wake
Banjo Kazooie
Rainbow Six 2
Soul Calibur (whats it up to now?)
Condemned 2
Ghostbusters 3
Ninja Gaiden 2
Street Fighter 4
Tom Clancys End War
Mario Kart Wii

All I can think of now!!!

GTA IV - Its going to be the greatest game of all time (so far). Fact.

humanji

I'm really looking forward to Heavy Rain, Far Cry 2, Fallout 3 and Star Wars The Force Unleashed.

And I'm cautiously optimistic about Dead Island, Fable 2 and Alan Wake.

Aldebaran

Metal Gear Solid 4

nothing else will even come close

Zapp Brannigan

Fallout 3
MGS4
SSBB

Melion

GTA IV, my social life will go down the drain the second i get my hands on this.
Lost Odyssey is another one

Cina

MGS4
GTA4
Final Fantasy 13 (It's out in Japan this year anyway, not sure when we get it, probably about 5 years)
Spore (Please god, let it actually be released this time)

Actually, i'm calling this one now, it'll be average at best.

Don't get me wrong, the tech behind it is pretty amazing, but i'm wary of any game thats done nothing but show us tech demos and little else.

Personally, Brawl and MarioKart Wii is about it.

I'd say GTA IV as well. Its the only game that i've ever played where i'd start it up just to hop on a chopper and drive around for an hour just listening to the radio. Great game with endless possibilities. A GTA MMO would be AWESOME!!!

satchmo

Prototype's going to kick ass alright. I'm also looking forward to MGS4 & GTA IV.

TPD

Not a mention of StarCraft II? Its gonna be incredible!

Aside from that:
Smash Bros Brawl
Mario Kart Wii
GTAIV on pc, which doesnt really count for this year
Spore
Fable 2. Again, pc version, and again unlikely this year.

That is all.

SeantheMan

Guitar Hero 4 !!! :P

Oh..and eh....Fallout or something is it called ? that looks sweet

I agree


As for most anticipated game, I have to be predictable and pick GTA IV too. Especially after seeing the most recent trailer and hearing about the gameplay improvements.

Other games to look forward to are Little Big Planet, MGS4 and Fallout 3.

You speak the truth. :cool:

Bubs101

Considering how much I loved Banjo Kazooie originally I gotta say that that's the one I'm looking forward to assuming Resi doesn't make it out. Also, if Gears 2 is really coming out on the 30th of december that'd be top 3 material

Sephiroth_dude

MGS 4
Lost Odessey
odin sphere
halo wars
rainbow six vegas 2
c and c kanes wrath

I know for a fact theres others im looking forward to but just cant remember now.

ArmedResponse

forgot about fallout 3!-Looks amazing

Mgs4 i believe the demo will be released on the american PSN store this week!cant wait:D

Well, I'm a huge Star Wars fan, so it doesn't really matter if the game is as good as it claims it will be. Just as long as I can pretend to use the force for a little while, I'm happy

I don't think so. The fans have such a strangle hold on blizzard that SC II is basically just going to be a graphically improved SC I. They have already scrapped multi-monitor support. A travesty in this day and age when the likes of SupCom and WiC offer support for it.

kevthecelt

I cant believe no one has mentioned resident evil 5!! End of march!!!! Its going to be epic

Mr E

End of March 2009?
Definitely not next month, and you'll be lucky to see it released in Japan by the end of the year.

Why'd you even need dual monitor support for StarCraft II?
Infact how many people do you reckon have a dual monitor setup anyway, seems like a luxury rather than any sort of essential feature.

Besides, you say "graphically improved StarCraft" like it's a bad thing.

Shiminay

• GTA IV I'm really looking forward to and will be buying a console just for this
• Soul Calibur 4 is a very VERY close second (I fupping LOVE the Soul Blade/Calibur series).
• Spore - saw the video for that oh so long ago with everyone else and my jaw hit the floor.

[aside]
Dual monitor support in an RTS - you know I'd never thought of it before and it makes a HELL of a lot of sense. There are a fair load of people with more than 1 monitor (I'm one of them) and I see it making micro management a lot easier.

That said, I was never a cult fan of SC the way most of it's fans are, I found it to be an enjoyable game none the less and will give it a lash when/if it comes out

Have you played an RTS with multi-monitor support? Going back to only one screen feels like the dark ages, and 2 monitors isn't really a luxury anymore. It nearly costs more to buy one 24" monitor than to buy 2x19" monitors.

Like Kharn said, it allows you to micro manage multiple groups of units a lot more easily. You could set one monitor to your base another to your offensive units...

Also, I say "graphically improved" the same way i'd say Crysis is a "graphically improved" version of Far Cry. Rehashing the same old game with better graphics does not make that same old game any better, gameplay wise.

Try out multi-monitor support in SupCom or WiC and then come back to me and tell me it isn't needed.

It isn't.
It's just a nice feature, but the game still plays perfectly well without it (At least in SupCom, i found), it's nice if you have the monitors but the lack of it isn't any sort of deal breaker.

Besides, i still say the amount of people with dual monitors is quite small, lets face it outside of a few RTS's what would you use it for? Coding and such mostly, but most games have no need for more than one screen.

And i'd be very slow to call StarCraft II the same with better graphics, seeing as most of the units are getting replaced and/or overhauled.

Wouldn't get my hopes up too much. Didn't they find that people got bored in playtests? So they they dumbed the game down a bit.

It coud be the best game ever or it could be a "The Sims 13: Alien Mutants".

Hurph!

agent 47

Mostly I'm looking foward to MGS4 and GTA4. There is also the new Splinter Cell, Prince of Perisa(but i think that's 2009),Tom Clancy's Rainbow Six, End War and Gears of War 2

TheDoc

id completely disagree that dual monitors is a benefit

if it was it would be used widespread...


I'm unsure about starcraft2 tbh... obviously going to be heavily relying on old starcraft fans more then grabbing in new players.

It is going to be the no.1 pro game played by a long shot...mainly cause of its name...


As for games this year

GTAIV
Rainbow 2
world in conflict 360 version
gears of war 2
starcraft 2 ( ill have to give it a shot)

Sputnicks

GTAIV - all the way

Sephiroth_dude

can anyone point me in the direction of a website where I'd find a list of stratergy games coming out this year?

Hornd

No one else for HAZE.

Im really looking forward to it. Itll probably be the most complete package for a FPS on the playstation. 4 player split screen and co-op, play the main game over the internet with friends, loads of guns, great storyline.

Looks class.
