isn't Alan Wake meant to be coming sometime this year? Also Mafia 2

mrk · 3 Apr 2008 at 01:41

Didn't see it on the site I got the list from, it got delayed didn't it ? probably not on the list due to a release date not yet confirmed

Black Dragon · 3 Apr 2008 at 01:41

Age of Conan and Assassins Creed are the only ones i'm looking forward to for now.

TheRedZealot · 3 Apr 2008 at 08:01

Vegas 2 is an excellent game on the PS3, i hope it will just be as good on the PC

davecarter · 3 Apr 2008 at 08:17

Mafia 2 I am really looking forward to if its up to the standard of the original it could be a GTA beater

The three i'm most looking forward to.

Hopefully not too much drift racing in Grid though, not my favourite.

Let's not jump to conclusions now

a GTA4 beater is a big no no here

RDM · 3 Apr 2008 at 08:45

Warhammer Online, Spore and Starcraft 2 are the games on PC I am looking forward to this year.

Sone · 3 Apr 2008 at 09:09

Duke Nukem Forever

Holy crap yes, it's been so long that I forgot!

This is the AAA title, number 1 of number 1!

snowdog · 3 Apr 2008 at 09:11

Yawn, that's all?
Pc gaming is getting poorer.
Assasins creed the only nameworthy game in there imo, where're all the RTS and other games like (much) more racing games and sims ( no spore aint a sim)?

/seriously considers a ps3 now, for gtaIV, Gran Turismo and a few others.

mrk · 3 Apr 2008 at 09:16

Silence ! FPS is where it's at!

DJammyRasta · 3 Apr 2008 at 09:19

Most of the games on the list are console games, so i would assume bad ports at best... spore is pretty much the only game on that list i have any interest in... maybe the aliens game if it lives up to its avp roots

FrenchTart · 3 Apr 2008 at 09:35

Woot. Two games that look like they might be vaguely interesting for few minutes!

Spore doesn't actually look very good. I can see how the idea of it is pretty cool but I reckon it's going to be one of the biggest let downs in a long line of let downs in pc gaming.

why is everyone looking forward to Assassins Creed? its a boring game

Perhaps they like expensive coasters for their cups of tea?

Assassins Creed is one I had high hopes for but after seeing some reviews am going to give it a wide berth.
Rainbow Six Vegas 2 was looking hopeful but again the PC version is a no go, only worth getting for the 360 imho.

I'd love to get some beta action in AoC before I commit to a purchase.
For games in development I am on the edge of my seat for Jumpgate Evolution. I am also keeping a close eye on Stargate Worlds and Star Trek Online. :cool:

VaderDSL · 3 Apr 2008 at 10:25

You won't be seeing Star Trek Online for a while

the original development team was binned and game transferred to a new developer.

Makes me glad i bought a PS3 really. 1/2 of those have been on consoles already or are going to be on consoles, where the innovation that should be what PC games are all about :mad:

Spore will be fun, it's going to be a toy more than a game I think. Then there's Age of Conan and Warhammer for the MMO's. But what else...
