pc games for the next 11 months

Ok so I thought I'd comment on each game you posted. The end result is pretty conclusive... most games coming soon will be crap! Certainly far from dead, but theres just a huge shortage of great games I feel. Also a lot of your dates are wrong!


This is only the list that interests me, there are a lot more games that may suit other interests. Doesnt really seem pc gaming is dying

FlatOut: Ultimate Carnage
Due for release on 01/08/2008

Looks poor and is also out on consoles, so will probably be a port.

Jade Empire: Special Edition
Due for release on 08/08/2008

A pretty poor game which is already available anyway. Another port.

S.T.A.L.K.E.R.: Clear Sky (Stalker)
Due for release on 29/08/2008

Looks like it could redeem the STALKER series, though the first was severely disappointing.

Warhammer Online: Age Of Reckoning
Due for release on 01/09/2008

Just another MMO. Doesn't look that great so far.

Aion: The Tower Of Eternity
Due for release on 01/09/2008

Another crappy fantasy MMO.

Spore (PC & Mac)
Due for release on 05/09/2008

Perhaps one of the most innovative games here, but could still turn out crap!

Mercenaries 2: World In Flames
Due for release on 05/09/2008

Looks very poor from what I've seen so far. Probably another port.

A Vampyre Story
Due for release on 19/09/2008

Could be good for what it is, but it's hardly an AAA title.

Multiwinia: Survival Of The Flattest
Due for release on 19/09/2008

Looks like the training from PlanetSide or something. Meh.

StarCraft II
Due for release on 26/09/2008

Could be one of the best games ever. Or one of the worst disappointments.

Ghostbusters: The Video Game
Due for release on 26/09/2008

Another port, will be better on consoles due to controls.

X3 Terran Conflict
Due for release on 26/09/2008

X3 was a good game, but you might as well play EvE.

Crysis: Warhead
Due for release on 29/09/2008

Could be awesome but could also be another failboat of poor performance.

Fallout 3
Due for release on 03/10/2008

Looks stunning. Not sure if it's a port or not though.

Pro Evolution Soccer 2009
Due for release on 17/10/2008

I don't do football games, but surly it's more of the same?

Far Cry 2
31/10/2008

Looking to be one of the best game of the year so far.

Dead Space
31/10/2008

Another port I think. Looks interesting but not exiting, could surprise.

Lego Batman: The Video Game
Due for release on 31/10/2008

Lego games are ok on consoles, but meh, not the kind of thing I want on my PC!

Tiberium
Due for release on 31/10/2008

Bring it on!

The Lord Of The Rings Online Compendium: Volume II - Mines Of Moria (Full Game + Expansion Pack)
Due for release on 14/11/2008

Just as crap as the main game.

Warhammer 40,000: Dawn Of War II
Due for release on 28/11/2008

Could prove to be one of the best RTS games ever.

Singularity
Due for release on 28/11/2008

Don't really know much about this yet. Could be a port though.

Jumpgate: Evolution
Due for release on 28/11/2008

Another MMO. Looks crap. Not due until 2009 anyway.

Dragon Age: Origins
Due for release on 30/01/2009

Could be pretty awesome.

Empire: Total War
Due for release on 06/02/2009

Looks pretty poor, could be ok though.

Diablo III (3)
Due for release on 27/03/2009

Diablo is not for me, but it should be great for those that do.

Command & Conquer: Red Alert 3
Due for release on 27/03/2009

Looks poor... noooooo can't believe I just said that!

Wolfenstein
Due for release on 27/03/2009

Not much known really.

Aliens: Colonial Marines
Due for release on 27/03/2009

Will be awesome just because you get to shoot Aliens!

street fighter IV
Due for release on 27/03/2009

Meh.

Alan Wake
Due for release on 01/05/2009

Maybe!

Erm, are you sure?

Mercenaries 2 looks awesome to me, the world is completely destroyable, the gfx are nice, it has co-op and just looks like a superb action game with a bit of freedom to me...


and empire total war poor?
M2tw and rome were superb, this is probably only an improvement as it has colonization in and ship combat...


also what's wrong with ports ? Devil may cry 4 is a port yet it's superb. GTA VC, SA are ports and are the best games ever made...

and I disagree with :
RA3: I agree the resources (gathering) are fubar, but that aside it looks superb...
Flatout uc: I agree with you opninion, just not with the reasoning, what's wrong with it being ported, what's wrong about the looks ? I just don't like the fact it's like a small update to Flatout 2, which was superb, should have made flatout 3 instead though...
Warhammer dawn of war 2: Never seen the appeal in the series, I loved RTS since the early days but the warhammer series just look boring to me...

That aside, the rest is pretty much spot on and agree with all else...
 
should be alright year: far cry 2,alan wake , diablo 3, stalker: sky, batlefield 3, new fear. and many others.

diablo 3, far cry 2, and alan wake for me
 
Been looking at some trailers for these games.

Tiberium looks amaizing and the multiplayer could be absolutely unreal as long as they get it right.

Deep space looks like an interesting title and well worth a look in.

Singularity looks very interesting indeed, looks to have a good story and decent concept.

C&C RA3 should be good though might be a disappointment, id like it to be great and will be keeping my fingers crossed.

Alan wake is one of my top titles, this should be awesome and have great awesomeness lol!
 
Where did you get Diablo 3 and Aion release dates ? they havnt even been announced yet :S


And im pretty sure we could add at least 5 months extra to each of them.
Aion is still in closed beta, then open beta, final tweaks.... a lot more than 3 months ;).

And diablo 3 is in like alpha version, and blizzard always gives us fake dates.
Give me one example of blizzard releasing something on their first announced date...
Diablo 2 has been moved like 5 times for almost extra year overall.

I think you need to take a break from PC gaming for a bit mate. There's some brilliant sounding stuff coming up, you just sound burnt out on PC gaming.
