The Anticipation List

[Assassin]

What games coming out in 2008 are you anticipating the most?

I'm waiting for:

FarCry 2
Gta IV
Spore
Star Wars: The Force Unleashed

[Hickabod]

Rock Band!

I can't fucking wait

Edit: Kane & Lynch 2. I know its a super long way off but I loved the first

[Con-Con]

Same:

Rock band,
GTA IV.

These are the ones I'm looking forward to the most

[Zebbs]

Super Smash Brother Brawl.

Although I need to buy the actual Wii first. (But with all these delays, I got all the time in the world:lol:)

[Hats of!]

SSBB.

And Galaxy to get back to the stores here in Europe.

[hardcoresk8r69]

I rather forget about when games are coming out so when they creep around I won't over hype it. I know I'm missing a lot of games but here's what I have from Most to least.

MGS 4
Mercs 2
Far Cry 2
GTA IV

[I_Smell]

No More Heroes...

That God of War for the PSP. I just got a bright pink PSP off ebay megacheap. I was the only one who bidded on it cos it was just so gay.

[P0K3M0N_MA5T3R]

Thank god, I was starting to think I was the only person on here who's heard of No More Heroes, that's the closest game to release that I'm looking forward to, also SSBB, Mario Kart, Disaster: Day of Crisis and Guitar Hero if any come out, which knowing Activision, one will.

[Shagg]

-SSBB
-Prototype
-Spore

I'm especially waiting on the edge for Spore, because of how LONG ago I found out about it, but how long it has taken to be released.

[WillJ.]

Fable 2
MGS 4
Far Cry 2

[HappyPalooza]

-Metal Gear Solid 4
-LittleBigPlanet
-Brutal Legend
-InFamous
-Destroy All Humans 3
-God Of War: Chains of Olympus
-Super Smash Brothers Brawl (Don't have a Wii, but I'm sure I'll be using it quite a bit at my neighbor's house)
-Resistance 2
-God of War 3

[Gudizere]

Mainly :

- GTA IV

Will easily blow away any competition. Looking at you, Saints Row 2.

- Rock Band

Oberlin says its awesome. Plus, it's got Rush. That makes it automatically awesome.

- Spore

Can't wait, looks to be great fun and awesomly addictive.

- Tom Clancy's EndWar

C&C3 but with voice commands. Whats not to like?

- Midnight Club Los Angeles

Test Drive Unlimited, with a hint of Need for Speed. Plus, on the same engine as GTA IV. Automatic buy.

Pretty much my 2008 shopping list.

[this is not a post]

Can't wait for Rock Band, but I'm a little worried that it'll be too expensive for me. :wail:

[Hickabod]

No More Heroes...

That God of War for the PSP. I just got a bright pink PSP off ebay megacheap. I was the only one who bidded on it cos it was just so gay.

How on earth did I forget God of War? Thats out soon though, right?

[Rob]

- Spore

Can't wait, looks to be great fun and awesomly addictive.


I thought this thread was for 2008 games.


:bangkill:

[Shadowpriest]

Super Smash Bros. Brawl.

The main reason I got the Wii for, and its STILL not here. I can't believe they delayed it over to march now. :mad:

[MaxAlcolo]

I'm not really into video games right now, because I only have a PS2 and my computer can't run anything new.
I would still like to try out Age Of Conan : Hyborian Adventures when it'll come out.

[Fraudulence_Raft]

SSBB, Devil May Cry 4, GTA 4, and uh...that's about it for now. I'm not really into video games as I once was, and only look out for those awesome select few.

[Tempest]

Far Cry 2 (Thanks Assman :D)
Spore (If it comes out, I can hope)
LittleBigPlanet (If I ever get a PS3. :frown:)
GTA IV (Also on the PS3 wishlist, sadly)
MGS4 (See above)

ARMY OF TWO. This game better be as epic as I've been hyped to believe it will be.

There's not a whole lot of 360 games coming out that I'm looking forward to, to be honest. Kind of disappointing.

[Tweek]

SSBB and GTA IV.

[HappyPalooza]

Far Cry 2 (Thanks Assman :D)
Spore (If it comes out, I can hope)
LittleBigPlanet (If I ever get a PS3. :frown:)
GTA IV (Also on the PS3 wishlist, sadly)
MGS4 (See above)

There's not a whole lot of 360 games coming out that I'm looking forward to, to be honest. Kind of disappointing.

GTA IV will also be on the 360, this year. :facts:

[opn4bzns]

GTA IV will also be on the 360, this year. :facts:

April 29th, to be precise.

[Assassin]

I forgot about Spore! Is it being delayed or something?

[ToastmasterAlpha]

TimeSplitters 4. Of course, I'll actually have to get a current-gen system by the time it comes out if I want to play it.

[I_Smell]

-InFamous

Is there any information out about InFamous, like- atall?

[HappyPalooza]

According to the Wikipedia page, "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 various super powers as seen in the trailer, such as psychokinesis, flight, super jump and electrical conduction. However, the way in which these powers are/will be obtained are currently unknown."

It's also made by Sucker Punch who did Sly Cooper, which I enjoyed, so all that's good enough for me.

[Dresden]

I've really not been keeping up much on new game news for a while, unfortunately, so the only game I'm really looking forward to is Prototype. Looks godly from what I've seen. Should be good, can't wait to hear more about it

[Shagg]

I thought this thread was for 2008 games.


:bangkill:

It's coming out in the Spring of 2008... I'm guessing that it will be a 2008 game because of this.

I forgot about Spore! Is it being delayed or something?

It was first coming out in November 2007, then January, then February, and now it's just a random month within Spring (probably April or March).

[Spastic]

-MGS4
-FF13
-Spore
-SSBB
-GTA 4
-Warhammer Online.

Those are the games that I can't wait for, there are others that I am anticipating, but if I threw all those in the list would be endless.

[Knight of Cydonia]

-SSBB
-Prototype
-the new star craft (If it's coming out this year)

[Cristo]

Edit: Kane & Lynch 2. I know its a super long way off but I loved the first

Yeah I loved the first Kane and Lynch too. I seriously don't get why it got such shitty reviews, everyone I know who's played it said they liked it too.

So here's my list:


Rock Band
GTA IV
Devil May Cry 4
Kane and Lynch 2
Star Wars: The Force Unleashed (this seriously looks like teh pwn)
FIFA 09 :P
Age of Conan: Hyborian Age
Army of Two

[Krabby]

Nothing really, don't have any consoles, just a pc.

USER WAS PUT IN TIMEOUT FOR THIS POST. (http://forums.explosm.net/bankamp/)
Reason: Useless post.

[BKS]

Resident Evil 5
Silent Hill 5
GTA 4
Spore
SW: Force Unleashed
Starcraft 2

[Pieman]

Spore looks fucking awesome, so Imma follow it like a fanboy on fake PS4 release dates.

I want FF13 and Kingdom Hearts 3 but they're for PS3, which I don't want. Because 360 is sexy.

[Spyker]

Turning Point: Fall of Liberty
Fallout 3
Empire: Total War
Left 4 Dead
Turok


--If they're out before 2009--

Mafia II
On the Rain-Slick Precipice of Darkness

[NVM]

Resident Evil 5


Set for 2009 :wail:

But my list:
- SSBB
- Mario Kart Wii
- SW: Force Unleashed(Fingers crossed for forcy-goodness)
- Soul Calibur 4(360 has a very limited variety of good fighters, surprising)

[Gudizere]

TimeSplitters 4. Of course, I'll actually have to get a current-gen system by the time it comes out if I want to play it.

I thought it was dated at Q1 2009? But anyway : Hell yeahs!

[Chardon07]

gta iv.

Im not that big of a gamer nerd that i cant live without them.

[Antisaint]

Am I the only one looking forward to Banjo-Kazooie 3? I think it's set for a Q4 release as of right now.

[Dresden]

Fable 2. Need I say more?

From what I've seen, the combat will be Assassin's Creed-ish; based on timing and everything instead of just flailing and button-mashing like the original Fable. And it'll be a lot more open than Fable was (supposed to be).

[Oberlin]

Did I read this ENTIRE thread with no mention whatsoever of Prototype? I hope not.

Force Unleashed and DMC4 are my main 2 right now, since everyone says Burnout Paradise sucked.

[Hickabod]

The Lost tie-in game is obviously going to suck as almost all tie-in games do, but when it comes out I'm going to bum it big style. Thats my number one most anticipated game right now.

[Halucinagenia]

Im currently waiting for "the club" to come out.
i played the demo today and it defo looks like one of the games that would last me a while.
and the obvious GTA4 and Timesplitters 4

[Assassin]

[Elliwood82]

Super Smash Bros Brawl
Theres isnt alot of other games im anticipateing write now

[Hunnter]

:bangkill:

I lol'd, then cried a little... i want my Spore. ._.

Anyway:

Spore
GTA IV
MGS4
Haze
LittleBigPlanet
Resistance "2"
If it does happen, Timesplitters 4.
FF XIII & FF Vs XIII (stupid name is stupid) (also, lol, as if that will happen, more like 2010)
Probably SSBB.

Can't really think of any more at the moment, head went blank after that list...and sorta sore.

[Tempest]

FF XIII & FF Vs XIII (stupid name is stupid) (also, lol, as if that will happen, more like 2010)

Are you kidding? FFXIII might be 2009, but you can bet once it drops there will be 4 more FF games within the next 2 months.

[Kaylee_08]

Being a big fan of video games these are the games that I really want to play:

GTA 4
Spore
Resident Evil 5
Army of Two

[Xambesi]

Spore is the only one I'm desperate for.
It's going to be epic.

[MistyTehMoose]

Like everyone else, Super Smash Bros Brawl.

And after that, Mario Kart.

[The Fetus]

Mainly stuff everyone else said.

Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of The Patriots

I've been an MGS fan since I was eight years old when I got the first MGS on a demo for my PS1. I love the series, I love the games, I love the story, I love everything about it. I've been dying to get this game since 2004. (Technically 2002, because I thought all questions at the end of MGS 2 would be answered in the third one.)

Grand Theft Auto IV

In the fifth grade, my friend let me borrow GTA III and he never wanted it back. I kept it and soon enough as a ten year old, I got addicted. Vice City came out and I forced my uncle to buy it for me the day it came out. When I was thirteen, GTA San Andreas came out and I reserved a copy. I am a huge and hardcore fan of the series and know plenty of details, so I'm pretty excited.

Super Smash Brothers Brawl

What can I say? It looks great and for years I couldn't stop playing SSB Melee. This game looks great, and just when I thought no good games were coming out for the Wii.

Resident Evil 5

Looks awesome. I was very impressed with the trailer and the gameplay it showed. I guess I'm a pretty big fan of the Resident Evil series. I've been into the games maybe since I was about eleven.

[peteaboda1]

I just remembered Brutal Legend is coming out this year! Hopefully it turns out as epic as it looks right now.

[ItachiEvilAngel]

Super Smash Brothers Brawl
Resident Evil 5
Devil May Cry 4 (need a PS3)
Dark Sector
Unreal Tournament 3 (XBox360)
Mario Kart Wii

I have a Wii and 360, just not a PS3. (I have every console imaginable. If you could play at least Pong on it, I had it.)

[Cristo]

Itachi, DMC4 is out for XBox 360 its not PS3 exclusive.

[Awsumerthanyou]

Brawl
Mario Kart Wii (I wasn't that excited about it until I read this: http://wii.ign.com/articles/849/849925p1.html)
Animal Crossing Wii

[spazzy7]

I'm dying for Mercs 2
GTA IV will be sweet
Gran Turismo 5 looks purdy
And of course, any MGS till the end of time

Oh, and Battlefield: Bad Company looks hilarious

[Kitsuri]

Oh my, does no one care about LEGO Indiana Jones?
Also, Ninja Gaiden on the DS will be lots of fun, hopefully.

[Sirnogbert]

GTA IV
Resident Evil 5
Final Fantasy 13 ( Though not getting hopes up until the details come, but Square-Enix hasn't failed me much before )
Star Ocean 4 ( As above )
Soul Calibur IV ( Although I don't approve of the Star Wars characters, I'm not big on gimmicks )
Super Smash Bros Brawl

As well as sequels to Drakes Fortune, Hitman, Ratchet and Clank and Devil May Cry, which aren't announced as far as I know, but let's face it, they're gonna happen.

[Cristo]

Man I hope they make a new Hitman game.

[Dime]

-GTA4
-Saints Row 2
-If I do get a Wii, then SSBB

[Trapperjoe]

The games that I am waiting for are Too Human, Spore, Warhammer Online and SSBB.

[littleteapot]

What I'd like to see:
- Spore.
- Someone actually making a commercial game which also runs under Linux (WINE does not count).
- A PC remake of Perfect Dark.
- A free yet awesome OSS clone of Portal which doesn't require a fuckton of resources.

And Duke Nukem Forever = DNF = Did Not Finish.

[Disposable]

Fallout 3
FFXIII
RE5
Metal Gear 4
SSBB

The year of the awesome sequels.

[mhale71]

Duke Nukem Fornever... Forever...

[SLjimbolian]

Brawl and MGS4 are my biggest wants. Then there's a couple of "unannounced" Nintendo games that will rock on the Wii like Star Fox and F-Zero.

[MrDoctor]

I'm waiting for so many games
-Gears 2
-Call of duty 5
-Mass effect 2
-Prototype
-Fallout 3
-Gta 4
-Soul caliber 4

[atomsk]

The only ones that I'm looking foreward to have been delayed. Often. Either I have bad luck, or I'm a game-jinxer.

-Spore (09-07-2008)
-Mercs 2 (Fall of 2008)
-Fable 2 (??-??-20??)

[deadchild90]

Fable 2
Star wars: Force unleashed
Resident evil 5 (I know it was pushed back, but still)
Guitar Hero 4

Im kinda waiting for GTAIV (I think it'll be just like the others, which isn't a bad thing but just repeditive) and Gears of war 2 (never really got into the first but it had a fun campaign).

[peteaboda1]

Now that a few months have passed I suppose my list has changed a bit. I should be getting GTA4 when it comes out, I still have some of my best buy gift card left so it will be like I get it for a discount. There is also castle crashers and battlefield heroes to look forward to in the summer hopefully.

[danthelegend]

Rock Band and Left 4 Dead are the only one's I'm waiting for.

[MrDoctor]

I was waiting for prototype but they cut the multiplayer out so I don't know anymore. I still cant wait for Left for Dead and GTA4 though.

[Ommurg]

For sure any Guitar Hero's, I'm addicted to that damn game. But I want a REALLY hard one. Find a song thats a cross between Jordan and TtFatF, add Eruption to it, and times that bye two.

I'm not sure if MMO's really count, but Wrath of the Lich King expansion for Warcraft without a doubt.


(Also, I hear Guitar hero: Aerosmith is coming out in june.)

[Crysis]

Left 4 Dead Looks Awesome!
How has nobody mentioned it? Valve will most certainly make it the best co-op experience yet! Look it up!

[Homemaster]

Left 4 Dead
DoW 2
Spore
Starcraft 2

[danthelegend]

Rock Band and Left 4 Dead are the only one's I'm waiting for.

Left 4 Dead Looks Awesome!
How has nobody mentioned it? Valve will most certainly make it the best co-op experience yet! Look it up!

I mentioned it a few posts before?

They keep pushing the dates back for both the games I'm looking forward to :wail:.

[Asdf]

Left 4 Dead is the top scorer on my list. They put multiplayer back in so you can either play as infected or as a survivor. I hear you can go as a boss zombie and puke all over them, it's gonna be great.
