Fan and liked the others. Good enough? Alright, for Riddick I heard that Escape from Butcher Bay was amazing and Assault on Dark Athena is a remake. And for Dragon Age I just like BioWare. |

Not good enough. You have to go through each one and point out why you are looking foward to it. I don't make the rules. User was banned for: Poll: What is your opinion on the Metal Gear Solid storylines?. (Permanent) |
Gone Gonzo  Posts: 1412 Joined: 19 Nov 2008   | I don't even know what games are coming out next year...Ratchet and Clank definitely if that comes out. The new half life. I don't think No More Heroes 2 is coming out next year though. I think it's supposed to be 2010 before we see that. |
Gone Gonzo  Posts: 1811 Joined: 8 Apr 2008     | Oh geez, how could I forget about Dragon Quest IX? Okay, that would probably squeeze on my list in front of Diablo 3. |
Muckraker Posts: 268 Joined: 12 Dec 2008 |
DQ 9 is coming out? That could definitely be up there. Hopefully I like it better than I liked the last one. |
Paperboy  Posts: 44 Joined: 14 Dec 2008  | There are a bunch of games that I'm looking forward to, like Diablo III, Bioshock 2, Halo Wars... but the thing that I'm looking forward to the most is the as of yet untitled Harmonix/MTV "Beatles" game. I'm so surprised that they were able to get the license. :D I don't know if it's going to be a Rock Band expansion or what, but I am totally up for some Beatles in my music games. |
Paperboy  Posts: 48 Joined: 11 May 2008   | The only game I would buy brand new next year would be Final Fantasy XIII... if it comes out. As for things I will try to play and/or wait for on sale for less than 30 bucks. Note: Only listing games I know for sure are announced and scheduled for 2009 Resident Evil 5, Bayonetta, Sabotuer, Prototype, Street Fighter 4, Call Of Duty 6, Bioshock 2, Dragon Age: Origins, Halo Wars, and Alan Wake Im sure there are a lot more ill be interested in and there will always be Dead Rising 2, Mass Effect 2, and Assassins Creed 2 but none of those seem concrete enough for me to really be excited yet. As well as whatever Suda 51 is working on aside with Grasshopper Studios. |
Gone Gonzo  Posts: 4297 Joined: 20 Dec 2007  | 9. Ratchet and Clank Future 2 -and here I thought "After QFB I may not pick up another R&C" also, this sounds like a "most anticipated of '09" - and I've made that pretty clear. |
Paperboy  Posts: 12 Joined: 16 Dec 2008   | TEKKEN 6 yussss! my head is about to burst from anticipation for Brutal Legend! |
Gone Gonzo  Posts: 1379 Joined: 17 May 2008     | Dawn of War 2 - A mixture of tactical gameplay, rpg and rts. Relic is really pushing it in terms of innovation. Diablo 3 - A-Rpg? Check. Decent Story? Check. Balanced and fun? Check. Blizzard support? Check. Final Fantasy Dissidia - so, a fighting game with all the heroes from I - X? From little that have been shown in trailers, and gameplay videos, this game has a lot of potential. Patapon 2 - Patapon was original, cute, and heart-warming. No doubt the successor will be better. |
Gone Gonzo  Posts: 2067 Joined: 23 Jan 2008  | I'll reserve my enthusiasm till Assassin's Creed 2 and Portal 2 are announced. Also, no list threads. :/ |
Press Junketeer  Posts: 360 Joined: 14 Nov 2008   | Starcraft 2? Diablo III? Next year? Are they serious? ........ Hahahaha! Hahaha! Ahhh..... Now...2009 movies may be something to jump about, but games...eh. |

Copy Clerk  Posts: 111 Joined: 3 Jul 2008  | About Diablo 3 and starcraft 2, do you really expect Blizzard to release something on the date they say they will? I highly doubt that: also resident evil 5. |

Give the game a break - it cost a quarter of what a regular game does, and Insomniac were stretched thin making one of the best shooters of the year.
What the hell is decent about 2009 in movies? And you seriously don't see a game in 2009 to get excited about?
Both were announced, like, middle of this year. And i'm trying to stop it being a list thread. User was banned for: Poll: What is your opinion on the Metal Gear Solid storylines?. (Permanent) |
Infamous Scribbler  Posts: 665 Joined: 9 Jun 2008     | Come on people. There are some (hopefully) good games out there for 2009. Prototype looks like all sorts of kick ass. That is my list. And yes Dingo, this is a list thread. And To Dingo - About Movies in 2009. Watchmen - if they don't screw it up, but I think it will kick ass. Loved the Novel. GI-Joe - will probably suck, but still looking forward to it since it was one of my childhood toys. Transformers 2 - The first one had the shitiest acting, but I could watch it over and over again, for the same reason mentioned above. I see it kinda like I see Linsey Lohan. Sure she is a waste of a human being, but I'd hit that. X-men Origins: Wolverine - Looking forward to it, my only issue is this... Wolverine is not a PG-13 character. Harry Potter - nuf said there. Battlestar Galactica - final season, this show if made of awesome and hotness. |
BANNED Posts: 12958 Joined: 30 Jan 2008 | To all the people playing Prototype, you'll be happy to know that its out. It just got redubbed a little, but its still fully intact, and should be in your local games store - its called Ultimate Spider-Man.

Gone Gonzo  Posts: 3259 Joined: 3 Aug 2008   | Tekken 6 - been into the franchise since the second game, I'm not as hyped up about as I was last year because they keep changing the release dates. -__- that's all I can think of at the moment, but there's probably some more games due to be released soon that I'll end up wanting. |

In your HBO special, is this before or after the bit about airplane food? |
Gone Gonzo  Posts: 1632 Joined: 10 Sep 2008   | 15 good is very optimistic. OH, I know, mechwarrior living legneds. Yes it's only a mod, but it looks/will be a whole lot better than most commercial releases. Much in the same way the best game I played in '07 was Dystopia (without any even close second). |
Pulitzer Laureate  Posts: 974 Joined: 12 Dec 2008     | Only ones I can think of right now is The Conduit, No More Heroes 2 and Mad World. |

Pulitzer Laureate  Posts: 859 Joined: 22 Jun 2008 | I'll take a whack at it. 15. Gothic 4: Arcania - I say that extremely tentatively. I'll wait for reviews before I pick it up, but damn it, I loved Gothic 1 and 2. 14. Dark Void - Looks interesting. I don't know much about it at all, but the "mid-air combat" sounds original enough. 13. MadWorld - If I was going to pick up a Wii, this would be one of my top games to get. The protagonist has a chain-saw attached to his arms. What's not to like? 12. M.A.G. - 256 players. *Wow*. Again, I'll need to wait for reviews, though it sounds amazing. 11. Postal 3 - Why? Because I'm an immature bastard. 10. Battlefield Heroes - Big fan of the Battlefield series, so I'll pick this one up. Art style looks very interesting, as well. 9. The Chronicles of Riddick: Assault on Dark Athena - Loved the original and was really mad when I found that it wasn't backwards compatible with the 360. Can't wait. 8. I Am Alive - I know next to nothing about it, but the premise is ridiculously cool. 7. They - Looks a bit like Fear, and I'm always in favor of a good and scary FPS. 6. inFamous - "The game is a third-person sandbox world that combines elements of the superhero MMO City of Heroes with a roaming open-world, allowing the player to make choices between being a hero or an anti-hero that will affect the game. The player will also have access to electrical powers. The player will obtain them right at the beginning of the game." If that doesn't inspire some sort of excitement, I'm not sure what will. 5. Red Faction: Guerrilla - Now, I'm not a big fan of the switch to third-person, but so long as they retain the small bits of what made the 1st so great (which it seems they are doing, and expanding on those ideas), I'll be happy with it. 4. Heavy Rain - Maybe someone can finally pull this "free choice" deal off. 3. Brutal Legend - If Tim Shaffer is involved, count me in. Grim Fandango, Psychonauts, and Full Throttle are three of my favorite games of all time. 2. God of War 3 - Like a lot of other games in my list, I loved the originals, and will most definitely love this one too. 1. Mafia 2 - If you want to call Mafia a GTA clone, so be it, but I enjoyed it more than GTA 4, truthfully. Mafia 2 is, really, the only "big" thing I'm looking forward to. Now, if only we could get a release date of Half Life 2 epi 3. Oh, and I'm looking forward to "Black Mesa" more than most of those games, but didn't include it because it's a mod. |

It has always remained a mystery to me why there aren't any WW1 games. Perhaps if a game were to remain faithful to the real combat in WW1, then there would be very little room for any '1-man-saves-the-day' crap. Then I guess game developers would have to make an inventive and imaginative historical FPS for once. Is that really too much to ask for? :( |
Gone Gonzo  Posts: 1782 Joined: 13 Sep 2008  |
Mostly it's because developers use this equation - "Game + World War I = Trench Warfare = Boring". And I agree about the real combat thing. We don't have to have a hero in EVERY story. It'd be refreshing to be part of the rank & file soldiers for once and not be special in any way. Just ordinary. And there are some strategy games, but nothing really exceptional. I think there is supposed to be an FPS in production. |

Not as much as you'd think. The 15 that I listed are from developers of a high consistent quality, the games already out and being tested, there are journalists who have staked their credibility in saying that they're awesome, or in God of War III's case, come from series that actively refuse to be bad. I will concede that DC Universe online has the potential to suck, but the others, not so much. User was banned for: Poll: What is your opinion on the Metal Gear Solid storylines?. (Permanent) |
