Gaming Games to Watch in 2008

http://www.bit-tech.net/gaming/2008/01/02/games_to_watch_-_2008/1

2007 is over, so we look at some of the most exciting games of the year ahead, just to show that even though 2007 was good, 2008 could be even better. It doesn't matter if you're a hardcore rocker or a casual sim-lover, 2008 has something for you!

 

First Mass Effect, now Brutal Legend, I might have to break down & buy a 360.

Nah, PC RPGs have mods, I like mods too much to give that up.

 

If Brutal Legend doesn't come to the PC, I'm going to be mad.

 

Nice list, but I highly doubt that Fallout 3 will make it for Q408, probs Q209.

Oh and for me, the first graph had Bioshock and Halo swapped and Crysis a no-show

Bloody hell, another year has come and past... Now its time to look ahead at those pretty games we'll be playing soon enough. (well, maybe not DNF).

I cant wait to be honest, this next year will be amazing in the world of gaming.

Anyway, i'll be sure to stick along with Bit-tech 'til the end. Cant wait to see what this website produces in this new year too. Good luck to you Bit-tech, and good luck to everyone else to raise the money for these bloody games! =P

 

I just want to play Spore :'(

 

Too Right!

 

Fallout 3, Spore and Alan Wake are the ones that have a me will buy factor...

the rest?

either they dont interest me or are console exclusive... damn those consoles

 

"but early reports suggest that this could be the best Indy game yet"

Better than Indiana Jones and the Fate of Atlantis? Absolute pish, no Indy game could ever top the Sucker Punch!


Of the rest, fingers crossed they all turn out to be as good as predicted. I'll be gutted if Spore ends up forever in development hell, it looks such an intreguing game. As for DNF, it's funny but even given it's ten year development cycle, no-one quite wants to write it off yet, everyone is still secretly hoping it's going to be as ass kicking as it could be.

 

The graph made me lol. Thanks Joe! So true, Orange Box really made the year for PC-gamers. Can't resist adding this here:

 

One I'm really hoping for: http://dragonage.bioware.com/

 

"...while others will fail to live up to the enormous hype which has built up around them. "
Dunno why, but looks like this sentence was made for FO 3...

I am a huge fan of FO franchise, but i think the only person from the previous FOs, Ron Perlman (aka "The Narrator"), won't save the game..

Well let's give beth some credit.. Perhaps the Oblivion - FPS style on FO 3 wont be a "total" waste... PERHAPS!

 

Where did you get that information from? Recently there have been full page spreads in PC gamers around the world.

@Jipa why didn't you just link to the PA page with it on?

 

the games listed weren't of much interest to me. I'm keeping an eye on FF7: crisis core, FF VS XIII and some other console/portable RPG's. the FPS's from '07 should keep me occupied for my shooting needs

 

Darkfall!

 

What about super smash bros Brawl and Resident evil 5? (Though RE5 could be a 2009 affair)

 

Super Smash Bros Brawl, Far Cry 2 and STALKER prequel are the only ones i REALLY looking forward to play, Alan Wake looks very good, hopefully a game to make people recognise Dx10 (rather than what Crysis did). Spore is a casual game i'd look at and play a bit. but hard core games i'd say is in 2007, with UT3 and Crysis for super hard core hardware enthusiastics

 

Shouldn't the article name be "Games to Play in 2008", rather than "Games to Watch in 2008"?

 

how could u miss details on a new splinter cell game??

 

I was very much looking forward to alan wake but vista only guess I will have to wait for wine to be able to run it then.. so best game of 2009/2010 also I expect it will be a comercail flop due to the lack of computers running vista (Bit-tech is very much a minority in vista take up).

GTA, DNF, FAR CRy 2 and stalker look interesting to me
