What are your 5 most anticipated games for the coming year?

Mine are:

Metal Gear Solid 4 (Playstation 3)
Guild Wars 2 (PC)
Little Big Planet (Playstation 3)
Killzone 2 (Playstation 3)
Warhammer Online (PC)

Sensible World of Soccer (X360)
Burnout Paradise (X360)
Final Fantasy XIII (PS3)
Star Wars: The Force Unleashed (PS3)
Fable 2 (X360)

In truth, I'm only really excited about the first 3, but had to make it up to 5!

Spore
Fable 2
Burnout Paradise
Mario Kart for Wii

Thats it

Fable 2 (360)
Alan Wake (360)
New Wow expansion (PC)
Techno the base 2 (PC)
LOD 2 (PC/360/Wii/PS3)

none haha, I got way too many old games that I need to complete. Oh wait actually there are a couple after all ;-)

Nanostray2 for DS
Eschalon Book 2

Assassin's Creed (PC)

Hasn't spore been in the top five anticipated games of the year since like 1997?

lol

Actually, I had forgotten about Spore and am keen to play that too (I hope it comes out on PS3 or X360).

I would say A Vampyre Story, Brütal Legend, Little Big Planet, Alan Wake and Dragonwars plus the rest of the Sam&Max Season2 Episodes.

Yeah, I also forgot about Spore.

I don't even know what games are coming out soon. I still want to play Crysis and play more of Halo 3's storyline mode. For Halo 3, I admit I'm a bit dissapointed by the usefulness of the 'tool' items it has (the bubble-shield, etc). They either stop working too soon or aren't overly useful to begin with. But that's just my early take on it.

I'm in the same boat as Storm. I don't even keep track of new releases any longer.

I think I have Call of Duty 4 coming for Christmas, and when the 360 gets back I'll pick up Gears of War - but that came out a while ago of course...

GhostBusters.

forgot about ghostbuster, that looks cool.

I think mine would be :

GTA 4 (Xbox 360)
Super Smash Bros (Wii)
Elders Scrolls 5 (whenever that game comes out, Xbox 360)
Fable 2 (Xbox 360)
Mario Kart (Wii)

I have no idea if these are actually due this year or not, but I'm not looking forward to much, so they'll have to suffice.

Little Big Planet (PS3)
Still Life 2 (PC)
Metal Gear Solid 4 (PS3)
Resident Evil 5(PS3/X360)
Fallout 3 (X360?)

GTA4 (PC) (more like 2009 on that one <.<)
Ace Attourney 4 (DS)
The next FFXI expansion (PC/PS2/360)
Spore (PC)
Half-Life Episode3 (PC, one can wish it'll come out next year..)


Elders Scrolls 5 (whenever that game comes out, Xbox 360)



The latest issue of XBox Magazine says that this is going to be a Release Title on the "Next XBox"... Ouch...

Five? Pretty much just GTA4 for me.

GTA4 (PC) (more like 2009 on that one <.<)
Why do people think there is going to be a PC version of GTA4?

Duke Nukem Forever! lol

Hello.

1. Strop of the Mutant Greys
2. The Silence of Noel
3. Sibly's Day Out
4. The Return of Hunt Called Red Oktober...
5. AWESOME - The Critics Revenge
6. Larn
7. Learning to count in more than one easy steps

Goodbye.

Re: Resident Evil 5: Hope it comes out for Wii too...

Actually Soggyp: I wouldn't mind turning AOTMG into something actually playable. Also I just *knew* larn would be on your list ;-) Thing is, let's say I made Larn, could I count on at least one sale from you?

Resident Evil 5 will most likely never come out for the Wii. The guys behind the game are REALLY REALLY into graphics. It's not like RE5 on the Wii wouldn't sell but RE5 will be RE4 + new setting + new and better HD graphics.

Hmm - top 5. Don't know - was kind of looking forward to Nov of this year as being the month for big releases, but having played the demos, none of them really grabbed me. Crysis was interesting for the graphics tech, Jericho demo left me cold, COD4 was exciting but overpriced for a linear 8 hours of entertainment. Bought and enjoyed The Witcher.

So,

1. Spore - could be something of a holy grail of gameplay?
2. Total War:Empires - just hope the AI's a bit better than Medieval2
3. Duke Nukem Forever - they say they are still working on it and I am intrigued by a game that's been under dev for 10 years +. At that rate, they might have spent a full year on the menu screens alone ;-)
4. Tank Universal v1.5 - under development ay?
5. Sibly's Day Out

Fallout 3
Jagged Alliance 3
Grand Theft Auto 4
Little Big Planet
Warhammer Online

Why do people think there is going to be a PC version of GTA4?

There's been every version of GTA released on PC with the exception of the PSP spin-offs. Since GTA3, they were typically released about a year after the console renditions.

Can't see any fault in assuming the same will happen with GTA4 once the console sales start flattening out and Rockstar feels the need for some extra revenue.

Star Craft 2?

What PSP spin-offs? If you're talking about the "Stories" games these were also released on the PS2.

Can't see any fault in assuming the same will happen with GTA4
Except Rockstar and Take Two have both said it's not going to happen.

Metal Gear Solid 4 (PS3)
God Of War: Chains Of Olympus (PSP)
Super Smash Brothers Brawl (Wii)
House of the Dead 2 and 3 Returns (Wii)
Devil May Cry 4 (XBOX 360)
Ninja Gaiden 2 (XBOX 360)
Nanostray 2 (DS, good call by Grey Alien)
Ninja Gaiden: Draqon Sword (DS)

I'm giving 8.. even though I'll probably only play 2 or 3 of them. Growing up is sad.

I'm currently playing Super Mario Galaxy. Which at the current rate that I'm playing it should last me a while.

Why should rockstar feel that need?
They got 50 million USD from MS for some X360 exclusive content :)

star wars -force unleashed for WII

light saber on the wii-mote!

(good post soggyP)

MadJack: Ya know, I'm kinda with you there - nothing out there has really grabbed my attention lately. I've played a lot of Diablo II over the past year and a half, I'd really like to see an RPG based on tactics and combat, not quests. And something that's not totally over the top with graphics when my aging computer can't run it. Why would I want to buy a top of the line game when I also have to buy an extra $200 in computer hardware just to play it? I think that's another big reason why people choose not to buy new PC games.

The latest issue of XBox Magazine says that this is going to be a Release Title on the "Next XBox"... Ouch...


Damn, well i guess i wont be expecting that until, what? 2011? Probably.

That is assuming Bethesda would wait that long. I would think they would be able to squeeze in a 5th one in that time frame. I STILL HAVE HOPE! :)

Not a single game I'm excited about yet for next year. Most of the ones that are going to be ported to PC have been pretty disappointing on their console releases.

A good witcher expansion is all I can think of really(supposed to be one next year)

Fable 2 ? that makes two reasons to get a X360, that and PGR 360 version.

RE 5, just started in on RE 4 again after a spell away....

so thats two so far.........

Starcraft 2

1. Killzone 2 (PS3)

2) Don't Care

Hey, that looks neat!

Jack Keane
Vampyre Story
possible Starcraft 2

Spore, GTA4, FF13. Of course, I'm not likely to get a PS3 any time soon and I've boycotted EA, so I have a grumpy year ahead of me.

I actually think I've outgrown games for the most part. Hardly any of them really interest me anymore. But I do keep an eye out for good fantasy RPG's and the odd RTS like medieval. Don't see anything that really looks promising accounced yet.

Saw a trailer for Vampyre Story and have to say, the humour was groan inducing.

I'm a have to add Duke Nukem Forever to my list now due to a couple recent tidbits.

Same as Genexi. Hail to the king, baby.

Me 2 but we don't know if it will come 2008 :)

If it did, I'd be very interested, unless it was DX10 and Vista only...

No, as far as I know they're using id Software Technology. Hail to the king baby ^^
