Was there something about Halo Wars that was not good? I must have missed that part. EDIT: Oops, put an extra "something." |

I was gonna say that. It looks awesome. Also, F.E.A.R 2 anyone? This February, its gonna be awesome. EDIT:Forgot Prototype, that looks good too. |

It could work, but it doesn't look very balanced or polished, although I will reserve final judgement for it |

You're looking foward to Aliens: Colonial Marines - no you're not. This is what I don't get - every adventure game since the beginning of time has been ripping off Indiana Jones, so why do people think the actual Indiana Jones game will somehow be better than all the others? A licensed game grants the subject matter, but as the matter in question isn't all that special.... User was banned for: Poll: What is your opinion on the Metal Gear Solid storylines?. (Permanent) |

I'm not holding my breath for God of War III this year. I don't think it will be released until Q2 2010 (though I will happily eat those words if proven wrong). Resident Evil 5 is my big ticket for 2009. Also, BioShock 2 (though I think that's in the same boat as GoW3). |

I dunno. Gameplay footage more than a year before the release doesn't sound that likely. Plus, Jaffe said that he's already seen way higher quality stuff, so its a lot further on than they let on. User was banned for: Poll: What is your opinion on the Metal Gear Solid storylines?. (Permanent) |

Paperboy  Posts: 44 Joined: 23 Dec 2008    | theres really nothing im looking forward to anything major in 2009, maby half life 2 ep 3(though who knows when that will be), and maybe kingdom hearts 3 if thatwas coming out. im a kid gamer at heart, so im also looking towards the DSi and pkmn platinum, though not hugely. i guess 2009 has the poential to be good after all. though that just potential. EDIT: wait, prototype also looks promising. |

What? Adventure games? You mean games like these? Or these? |

X-Blades is an anime inspired hack and slash. The mechanics seem to be akin to Devil may cry (Sword moves, guns, magical stuff). Looks really pretty, but has this aura of shallowness about it. Time will tell God of War 3 is certainly on the list, as well as Darksiders:Wrath of War and the big one, Chronicles of Riddick: Assault on Dark Athena. Really looking forward to 2009, my wallet is not. |

Pulitzer Laureate  Posts: 715 Joined: 21 Feb 2008  | Eh, even without exciting titles, great stuff will come out. Look at World of Goo, for an example from the past year. By the way, I've heard that Valve is fixing (messing with) the source engine, so HL2: Ep.3 is a looooong way off. |

A shallow anime inspired hack and slash that rips off Devil May Cry - don't we already have one of those? User was banned for: Poll: What is your opinion on the Metal Gear Solid storylines?. (Permanent) |
Gone Gonzo Posts: 1515 Joined: 5 Jul 2008 | You can't really say Bayonetta "rips off" Devil May Cry, when the guys doing it are mostly old Devil May Cry vets. |
Muckraker Posts: 320 Joined: 25 Sep 2008 |
That we do. Although I like the look of Bayonetta since that has the potential to thrill me like Devil May Cry did (the original). If Devil May Cry 1 was remade for the PS3 instead of having that damn DMC4, I would be a happy man. I really am hungering for a hack and slash game that isn't toss, and that offers a challenge with a certain "WOW!!" factor. |

The release date is my main concern. I am not too optimistic about the idea of a 2009 release. Don't get me wrong, if they can get it to an amazing standard and release it in 2009, I would be nerdgasming enough for the entire human race, but I would never want Sony to sacrifice quality for an early release. I guess I'm also impatient since I played the last 2 God of Wars and Devil May Cry 1 a while back. |

No chance. As soon as Ensemble got the finger from Microsoft half the staff got offered jobs at a new company once the doors closed and the other half walked. Everyone left at ensemble has been pulling 14 hour days just to get the thing finished. You think it'll be anywhere near as polished as it needs to be, given that console-based RTS games are pretty much doomed from the start? |
Copy Clerk  Posts: 69 Joined: 28 Dec 2008    | There's a few I'm looking forward to that haven't been mentioned. Empire Total War is due rather soon and the previews look damn good. No reason that Battlefield Heroes shouldn't make it out in 2009 either. There's the Ghostbusters game hopefully in June, Mafia 2 in the autumn, Postal 3, Operation Flashpoint 2, The Sims 3, possible a new Wolfenstein, and with any luck Star Wars: The Old Republic. |
BANNED Posts: 12958 Joined: 30 Jan 2008 | And how has everyone forgotten Beyond Good and Evil 2? I see a tonne of Trico speculation (not just from me, mind you), but another sequel to an underselling gem of a game comes out next year, and no-one thinks of it.

After all of this time and fiddling around with engines and whatnot I don't honestly think that DNF can be as good as everyone (myself included) wants it to be. Too long of a buildup leads straight to disinterest. |
Gone Gonzo  Posts: 1169 Joined: 13 Nov 2007  | RE5 is looking pretty sweet, along with FFXIII and the new KH games. I'm not sure Mass Effect 2 will actually get released this year (apparently they're not very far into development), but it does sound pretty sweet, especially the part where you can preserve your save files and continue on from the first game. |

That is exactly why I haven't paid any attention to it since 1999. *puts blinders back over eyes* I should really get something to muffle the noises I keep hearing though...*grabs headsets as well* |

Conversely, you could say that the people looking forward to titles due to come out in 2009 are PS3 owners... because they'll finally have games to play. :P In all seriousness though, I've been so occupied with the assload of games that came out in the last quarter of '08 that I just haven't been looking ahead. And while I was joking with that above volley from the troll fanboy arsenal, I do think that Sony has been doing more hyping of the titles they're going to be releasing because it is such a popular opinion in the gaming industry that the PS3 has fewer worthwhile games on it - Sony need to give people a reason to buy one, since the bloody thing didn't launch with a Final Fantasy title ready to roll. |

That theory fails when we look at the 2008 line up - realistically speaking, 2008 was better for the Ps3. LittleBigPlanet, Metal Gear Solid 4, Resistance 2, Valkyria Chronicles, etc etc - there were a high amount of great exclusives for the Ps3 that somehow get discounted from any and all tallies for seemingly being on the Ps3. I can sorta see what you're saying, but realistically, these games would be awesome no matter when they came out - even in the days when the last great console was still current, God Of War was undoubtedly king. You can't exactly deny that the Ps3's 2009 line up looks especially good, and the 360's looks especially - well, if I say it, it will be branded as fanboy-speak, but they're leading the year with a console RTS made by a staff with very low morale.

The quality of those titles is highly debateable. They all have their vocal fanatics, don't get me wrong! But they're not the system-selling, competition crushing monsters that Sony needed them to be. The only game from your list that seems to be getting sustained attention and near-universal praise is Valkyria Chronicles - a game I've been fascinated by from a distance since I started seeing gameplay videos some months ago, well before I owned a PS3. I may well pick it up over the weekend, simply because my friends are offering some compelling arguments. I certainly wouldn't have noticed it if they didn't tell me about it. But if those four titles were meant to be your heavyweight evidence to support a suggestion that 2008 was anything but another disappointing year for the PS3, I'm afraid it's time to throw in the towel. I think 2009 will be a good year for the PS3 - but I also think there is a lot that Microsoft is keeping in reserve merely because they can afford to. |
