What game in 08 is everyone looking most forward to? - Page 2

I think chances of Alan Wake for PC making it this year are very slim as well. So for this year I can stick to XP gaming

ALAN WAKE, resident evil 5, gta

My first post in a long time.. nice topic


PC Games

1.Warhammer 40K Soul Storm
2. Duke Nuke'em 4ever ... now I know it will never come out, but for the love of god, back in the day I assembled a netware network just so me and my loser buddies could play 4 way co-op and deathmatch. So I have to keep the hope alive. I would also be happy if someone did a remake of the original Blood (based off the Duke 3D build engine).
3. Star Craft 2
4. The new Fallout game from Bethesda

I should note, if reviews are favorable I will buy every game not download it ..... if reviews suck well take a guess on my purchase choice.

Console Gaming
1.New Mario Kart ... (Yep I am a hard core gamer connecting back to my nintendo roots with a Wii lame I know but for me and the kids)
2.Buy a 360 with an extended warranty after a new price drop.
3.Play Halo 3 finally



Minor Soap box on game downloading.....

I know companies whine about downloaded games ... but I used to literally buy 8 to 12 PC games each year. After getting burned a few times (Rainbow 6 Vegas and its F'ed up lack of good multiplay, MOO3, Total Ahnihilation the fantasy version just to name a few) I limite my purchases to games which are well reviewed and that I can try out. IF I like the game or I know immediately I want to play multiplay online I buy it (Like TF2 and CoD IV I was one of the 86K whom bought it)


Anyway ....

anyone looking forward for Left4Dead? It should be a REALLY fun online game. Maybe better than CS:S, hopefully....
Should I get it on the PC or the 360, which one do I want to waste my life on....

1. Fall Out 3
2. StarCraft 2
3. Age of Conan

Spore

Oh man. I completely forget about Left4Dead... if you play Zombie mod on CS:S then I'm sure you'll be looking forward to this title. I need to add this to my list.

Tiz good to read through this kind of thread because i have a easily distracted mind and forget about all these great games yet to come out.

I'm looking forward to:

Alan Wake
HL2:EP3
Fallout 3...

Sod it i'm looking forward to all the games so far mentioned . Except maybe Brutal Legend, it sound like a great idea, but fear that's all it shall become.

i think I'm honestly looking forward to spore. It most assuredly will be the biggest time-waster out there, considering it's nickname is "Sim Everything"

Assassin's Creed for PC has me a little interested as well, as i have not played it on the Console, and I used to LOVE the original "Thief" despite is's graphics being somewhat dated when it was released.

IIRC, there was some Title that was vaguely related to the Starsiege: Tribes universe that even had some Garage Games Involvement. That got me so interested (I'm an original Tribes Fanatic) that I forgot what the title was supposed to be!

...and finally, I would be looking forward to a new, innovative MMO, but I have not seen any on the horizon lately. Guildwars has the Art, WoW has the story and playability, but i havent seen a really good user-based craft/merchandise system since good ol' UO. I've played a little DaoC, Anarchy Online, Ragnorok Online, PristonTale, Guildwars, among others, and I have to say, I really never saw a rich enough atmosphere where the player community met the game world in such a fashion that the graphics and versatility wern't limiting factors. I think something that can wrangle those together properly would be my most anticipated game...ever.

Far Cry 2
Project Origin
S.T.A.L.K.E.R.: Clear Sky
Borderlands
Cryostasis
Fallout 3
Left 4 Dead

FC2 slightly less since multiplat announcement though Hopefully it doesn't matter.

And by far the most intriguing titles I'm keeping an eye on?
Precursors and White Gold: War in Paradise
Sandbox to the extreme!!!

I'm also semi-looking forward to C&C: Tiberium, FPS..

Just like to add that alan wake had a 20 second clip make it on german television last week. Something about the future of gaming on xp and vista (xp is fine now, you'll be needing vista in the future sometime).

I think we'll see alan wake this year, maybe before june, its got microsoft behind it and they wont want to see something reside in development for forever and a day, plus it might be the first dx10 only title, so they'll wanna get that vista poster child out asap.

starcraft 2 and guild wars 2...but perhaps starcraft is gonna be delayed like all the other blizzard games, it might even make it on my "most anticipated games for 2010"

Ah, yes, if GTA 4 gets ported to the PC, I'd definitely go for that; San Andreas on the PC has been loads and loads of fun for me.

And if we get into ports, I might take a stab at the PC version of Assassins' Creed, or if it comes out, definitely Mass Effect.

1. Fallout 3
2. Starcraft 2

I'm also interested in Alan Wake, and HL2:EP3, gotta stop being lazy and get through the parts of HL I've missed though before I get that one.

EDIT: Oops got the link off the front page and didn't notice that it was in the PC Gaming forum which was the reason for my short lived 3rd place for Ninja Gaiden 2 (it is my number 3 game for this year though).

1) demigod
2) starcraft 2
3) Far cry 2

I got to go to a no-press nVidia conference at CES that was nothing but game developers touting their upcoming stuff. I blogged about it http://edborden.blogspot.com/2008/ [...] cry-2.html.

Very excited about Assassin's Creed. I've seen the Console reviews and I'm dying to play it.

And I always knew I was going to buy a new PC when SPORE came out. I put together my new build last week... lets hope that when SPORE does finally come out it still meets the requirements!

Alan Wake is going to be too much for your 8600. You might be able to pull it off with Fallout 3 but even then...I wouldn't count on it.

Interesting list: http://mostwanted.gamespy.com/2008/

Mass Effect! Mass Effect! Mass Effect!

World of Warcraft's Satans Realm will definetely be the hottest release with the most powerful evil caracters of all time.

Me its about the same as everybody else. Mainly HL2 Episode 3 since the end of the other one has me curious as to how they will end HL2. And the next step of Portal since its tied in with HL2 now.

GTA IV since I loved liberty city now if only we could play as the GTA III guy aka "Claude" in GTA SA who you race and date his G/F who betrays him in the neginning of GTA III. I like dhim the best as he never spoke and never was allied to anyone.

Spore cuz I wannna nuke some random creatures and screw with other planets life. Being able to take one creature and transport him to a random planet sounds fun. Also an idea here but how about cow like creature bombing? Pick one up and drop them on an unsuspecting civ for fun.

Far Cry 2 just to see if it 1 ups Crysis. Would be funny really.

Oh and TF2 updates. It may not be a new game but the more stuff to it the merrier I will be while mowing down noobs.

Thats about it. The rest will come and I may play them until the are unplayable.

Thought of one randomly. If it ever comes out(and I pray it does as the series kicked ass) Max Payne 3. I miss doing bullet time and getting randomly filled with bullets while killing mobs and never feeling it and watching a sad story about a guy who lost everything get revenge. WE WANT MAX PAYNE 3 NOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I thought of another one. Lego Batman. Love the Lego series as the Star Wars ones were fun.

This looks great but it looks as if it will use Ageia PhysX which I am not a large fan of. I prefer HavoK over Ageia. Anyone remember Panikiller and the stake gun? Oh the fun times. But it looks good. Only thing is it looks like more of a console style game.

Can't wait for Grand Theft Auto 4 to get announced for PC, I can deal with San Andreas until then I suppose. At least I can crank all the settings on high with my new system lol

Also planning on getting back into WoW and preparing for WotLK. Splinter Cell has always been one of my favorite franchises, so can't wait to see how Conviction turns out. Not sure what else is coming, just been planning to catch up on the stuff that I've missed out on the past bunch of years like HL2 lol

I dunno if Intel owns Havok so I'll have to look into that. I do know that Havok is a licensed Intel developer though and wasn't saying that Nvidia owns any part of Havok, just that they've buddied up quite nicely recently. Actually Havok is kind of a tech slut, they've been gettin' jiggy with all the big companies.

Also now that Nvidia owns Ageia things might be different in the physics department, so maybe Ageia will be a good thing for Bionic Commando. You're right too, it does look a little more like a console game however I prefer to play any game with a reticle site with a mouse. Just by the looks of it though it should be fun either way.
