2007 was a good year for pc gaming, mostly september through to november with crysis, Cod4, UT3 etc, So what does 2008 have in store? What games are coming out which look like AAA games? Now that that all the big games from 2007 are out i havent really seen much news on 08.

farcry2 should be good aslong as it aint another crysis

Battlefield 3, Farcry 2 and Alan Wake should be the big games of 2008 most likely.

Hmm, battlefield 2 had lots of promise but was a bit of a let down. Seems every bf game has mos tof its focus on the vehicle side and not much on infantry combat, all infantry battles consisted of in the last game was people diving to prone at every opportunity and that whoever did that first pretty much dictated who won the fight. Just hope bf3 has more to it. And hopefully they lose the online stats aka the built in e-peen meter.

I'd quite like the online stats thing to remain part of BF3, but I really hope they use a decent game engine. The engine for BF2142 felt horrible, and the soldiers of the future lack the ability to sprint more than 10m. BF2 was fun, but it was just a bunny hopping/proning nadefest.

Would be nice if BF3 put more emphasis on infantry action than vehicle action.

craptakular · 1 Jan 2008 at 17:47

Spore

Farcry 2

Bf 3 - unless EA fluff it up like the last two

Hyper · 1 Jan 2008 at 17:51

Didnt know BF3 was due this year, any rumoured dates yet?

SpaghettiOs · 1 Jan 2008 at 17:58

I hope they take some lessons from Project Reality for BF3.

Bobmunkhouse · 1 Jan 2008 at 18:29

Left 4 Dead looks good

Spore been checkin' out all the lil tid-bits about this game since it was first announced but i think it has had substantal? changes to the engine and now looks eck a bit too childish,
i await release to be proved wrong.

Left 4 dead.ohh zombies with realistic ragdolls can't wait for the head splattering carnage
Postal 3.how bad a person am i to be playing football with a severed head?
Alan wake. hmm looks nice hmm very nice, wheres the catch?
Farcry 2.pah i've lost all faith i once had in Crytek for the complete failure of Crisis #spit
Fear 2.Better be a new engine as perseus mandate looked so old and dated
