Games of 2009

7 August 2004
Liverpool
Seeing as we are nearly 1/3 through 2009 I was wondering what everyone is looking forward to?

Have to admit there isn't that many at the moment that is getting me very excited, but there's a few I'm really looking forward to:

FIFA10
Bioshock2
Alan Wake (although it might aswell end up 2019)
Am I Alive (might end up like Assassins Creed)
CoD: MW2 (somewhat)

What is everyone else looking forward to for the 2nd half of the year?
 
Not many at the moment.... I guess I could say

FIFA10
Riddick
Bioshock
KOTOR3 (This is me being too hopeful)

I don't really know whats coming out to be honest, I havent been reading up on games.
 
Hmmm....

FIFA10
PES2010 ( hey, who knows? )
COD: MW2
Assassins Creed 2


That's about it I guess..
 
I'm gutted on the motor racing front it's been crap, I'm hoping all my faves will come in the last 3-4 months of the year, so far I'm still playing Battlefield on and off now I have my PS3 back...

Really not a lot to be honest.

I might just continue on my quest to buy as many PSOne games as possible because they're much better than games this generation.

The only game I can kinda think of is Tekken 6, and maybe Modern Warfare 2, although I reckon it'll just be COD4 with a new storyline so it's not something to look forward to, just enjoy it when you play it.

FIFA I guess should be good, but I never look forward to football games, I just enjoy them when I have them.

Can't say I'm looking forward to the new Pro Evo because chances are it'll just be an updated PES2009 and Konami are bullshitting about massive changes again.

I really don't like the first Bioshock, so the second one won't interest me in the slightest, same with Assassin's Creed 2.

And I really doubt Alan Wake will ever come out.

I'm possibly looking forward to Heavy Rain but I don't know enough about it to be able to tell, all I know is it looks stunning.
 
But at least Matherto put Heavy Rain on its list! This is the most original AAA title that will ship this year! Come on, it's something different at least. And Fahrenheit (ignoring the bullshit story at the end) was absolutely innovative and brilliant.

Besides, the new work of TEAM ICO is reportedly coming this year and it WILL be absolutely fabulous!

And there's Mafia 2, the first one was amazing, so I have big expectactions on them! I just love gangsters...

I expect more of these games than from MGS4 when it launched, really (and actually found MGS4 boring despite me being a huge fan of MGS1-3).

But there's still another pearl: Brutal Legend from Tim Schaffer. Hey guys this man did Psychonauts that was incredible and is the man behind Full Throttle, Day of the tentacle, Sam & Max and many more big scores of Lucasfilm Games back in the early 90s! You haven't played Psychonauts???? GO BUY IT! NOW! PLAY!

Add the usual sports games: NBA 2k10 and FIFA10.

And the last gem could be that western game being developed by Rockstar! Guess is Red Dead Revolver 2 or something? I WANT TO WEAR A PONCHO AND SHOOT ALL THE BANDITS DOWN WHILE MORRICONE PLAYS!

End of my personal list. All the incoming action sequels look boring like hell to me.
 
What a depressing post matherto, cheer up fella it's not that bad :LOL:

Well now I think about it, theres Red Faction 3 and inFamous coming out as well, and theres another that I'm forgetting.

But I've gotta say, this generation has been seriously poor for games, especially sequels.
 
Red Dead
FIFA/PES 2010
Fight Night 4
MW2
GH: Smash Hits
Fuel
UFC
Wii Sports 2 (doesnt look a patch on 1 though)
Grand Slam Tennis Wii - if its done right

Pretty poor really, where's the blockbusters - MW2 aside as I'm sure it will be overhyped, but as good as COD4.

F1 has been pushed to 2010.

As See-Dubya says, there will be other titles coming along that surprise us...
 
NBA 2K10
PES 2010
FIFA 2010
Madden 2010
Heavy Rain
Batman: Arkham Asylum
inFamous
Ghostbusters
Modern Warfare 2
Rachet and Clank: A Crack in Time
Uncharted 2
Fat Princess
Alpha Protocol
Max Payne 3

Splinter Cell: Conviction coming to PS3...I can dream right?
Is there going to be a new Ghost Recon this year?

- Criterion first dropped a hint in the Burnout Paradise demo in Dec 07.
- When Criterion still did podcasts and spoke about games they love, SSX ways always mentioned.
- They also said that all their future games will have the Easy Drive menu.
- On their blog, they have dropped subtle hints,

Hey, it's DJ Atomika back to sea level in Paradise City from the sub-zero heights of Peak 3...

The last hint was that they'll have something else for us to play in September. So far Cops n Robbers and Big Surf Island are the only other packs that are left for BP. Cops n Robber is out on April 30 and Big Surf Island will probably be released in May.

- For whatever reason EA killed EA Sports BIG and replaced it with that Facebreaker crap.

The increased verticality sets the scene for super-speedy downhill races, which have a distinctly SSX feel to them (unsurprisingly, as it turns out: team members from the original SSX now work on Skate).

Eurogamer Skate 2 hands on

Finally Alex Ward has been quiet for far too long.
 
The one game that excites me is The Outsider - David Braben's new game.

Edge previewed it a few months ago - the scene involved the infiltration of some house and apparently the AI interaction between character and NPC was spontaneuous and hugely flexible - they describes it as brilliant and thrilling.

I agree with the guy disappointed with next gen - i personally think it's so boring - either machines aren't capable of what we hoped or programmers aren't as ambitious.

I am hopeful to some extent as teh games coming out in next year or two do seem to be a lot more ambitious and promising
 
check my sig, not much that is a must buy tbh. a lot of maybe games out there.

i've only bought one game so far this year and that is nba 2k9.

wish list = maybe games

most wanted = definet buy games
