Your anticipated games in 08

[Cayal]

Just wondering what everyones most wanted games of 2008 are.

Here is my top 5

1. Metal Gear Solid 4
2. Star Wars - Force Unleashed
3. GTA4
4. Killzone 2
5. Silent Hill 5

(I would include Final Fantasy 13 and Resident Evil 5 but I don't think they will come out this year).

Then there is LittleBigPlanet, DMC4, GT5, and Infamous.

My top 5 anticipated games in no particular order: MGS4, GTA4, Killzone 2, LittleBigPlanet, Resistance 2. All for PS3, boviously. I agree with you on FFXIII (and Versus XIII for that matter) - very little chance of them seeing the light of day in 2008.

[Lucien21]

My games are pretty much multi-platform.

1. Fallout 3
2. MGS4
3. Star Wars Force Unleashed
4. Alan Wake
5. Brutal Legend

There are a lot of other good games coming like Dragon Age, Silent Hill 5, Splinter Cell Conviction, Haze, Dead Space, Fable 2, Indiana Jones, Too Human, Tomb Raider Underworld, Mario Kart Wii, FF Crystal Wii, Advance Wars 2 etc etc

FF X111 and RE5 will probably be 2009. Little Big Planet looks cute but nothing startling. Killzone 2 may be brilliant, but after the 1st game i'm reserving judgement. GTA4 will sell a bucketload, but I was never really into the last games so not sure about it.

However i'm sure there may be some "surprise" games to come. Gears of War 2 is a possibility, The Alien RPG and FPS, Star Wars FPS, Kotor 3

Too many games so little time and money.

arn't we all?
still I hope that quality comes first with it, I don't mind waiting if it leads to a better game.

Well my awaiting games:

Starcraft 2 = fingers crossed = it seems to be balancing and story line construction at the moment - though balancing is clearly a big thing that they cannot afford to get wrong

Sins of a Solar Empire -- looks to be interesting - hope it plays out well.

Soul Storm -- what can I say - I gets to play as evil elves in space!!

Star Wars Force Unleashed - looks interesting and like it will play out better than KOTOR for action scenes (KOTOR was dnd like story gaming, not an actin playing romp)

[Cayal]

flOwer looks interesting, despite not much being known about it.

[Overread]

oh oh I forgot 3!
Sacred 2 Fallen Angel - the first was good, though was left feeling a little emtpy story and world wise, but the world scale was good; also the restarts after patching GRRRRR so annoying! - anyway number 2 looks to be a good allround imprvment

Disciples 3 - turn based strategy - and since heros of might and magic is slipping further and further into the pits - this is one of the best fantasy ones out there!

Advanced wars: days of ruin - the earlier games have all been great and this one seems ready to take off as well - the new darker story and world, I think, is a great way to take the series - the earlier games were a fun lighthearded tale -- lets hope this is a despirate tale of hope and struggle!

I would include DMC4; IF I owned a PS3. Anyone care to buy me one?

[Hilarious Joke]

You can probably get each cheaper if you buy two, so whoever buys Lith one can they buy me one also?

[zedlav]

GTA4, if it even comes out on PC in 2008.

Stalker:Clear Sky looks promising and I really hope the developers will have used the profits from SSOC to continue the development of the game they originally wanted to create.

Fallout 3. If it is good, it will be a good thing, if not (given Bethesda's track record), it might still be good, but in a different sense.

Other than that, well, I have no idea.

[Hilarious Joke]

Is GTA4 coming out on Xbox 360 as well as PS3?

[Lenny]

Yep. Rockstar were paid an extremely large amount of money by Microsoft to have GTA IV release on the 360 at the same time as the PS3 (amount not disclosed) and to also have two bits of downloadable content (cost them about $50 million).

[Durandal]

Most anticipated games... Hmm. Well, in no particular order:

Soul Calibur IV
Fable 2
Star Wars: The Force Unleashed
Halo Wars
Too Human
Fallout 3
Alan Wake
Starcraft II

Not a whole lot I'm really excited about at the moment. There's a ton of stuff already out that I need to play, though.

[Lucien21]

Grand Theft Auto IV is dated 29th April.

Rockstar says PS3 was a "contributing factor" in the delay.

Rockstar finally pins GTA IV delay on PS3, er, it was a 'contributing factor' - Joystiq

1. Metal Gear Solid 4
2. Devil May Cry 4
