Graphically intensive games over next 12months.

As per thread title, what is coming out on pc which is going to be a quality game and makes you go 'WOW' when you see the graphics. Anything?

Just feels like gaming in general has gone stale, particularly pc, I can't think of anything on pc off the top of my head that I will be remotely interested in purchasing. This is not a 'PC gaming is dying thread' before anyone tries to accuse it of being! haha. Just what I feel currently about the state of pc gaming and gaming in general. Maybe I'm just bored of computergames?

Alan Wake, Duke Nukem Forever. Do you think these games even exist or is it just one big conspiracy?! haha.
Not looking too great then when the only game over the next 12months worthy of mention in this thread is one that will probably never see the light of day.

All this Waking is geting boring!

The thing is for me personally though, the whole point of me buying games for my PC over my xbox360 is that of better graphics (keeping the controller-kbm debate aside)
If the PC is not releasing games where the graphics are considerably better than my xbox360 then I cant see the point in bothering with PC anymore.

Lets face it, the PC's trump card for it's use as a format for gaming is it's much superior visuals (mmorpg and strategy aside), if there are no games on the horizon with superior graphics then it's losing one of it's key attributes as a platform.
Thats my view on it anyway.

I thought Crysis was part of a trilogy, so maybe a new one soon? I know Crysis is hated or loved, but I loved it!

To be honest I find some of the views on this forum in relation to Crysis quite baffling.
Surely better to have a game like Crysis, which if not perfect is still pretty damn good (bar the Aliens), than what we have now which is nothing (within the genre) I recently played through Crysis again on Delta (up to the aliens) and it is pretty damn good. What would you all need your latest gfx cards for if it weren't for Crysis?
Hopefully there will be a third part, though I doubt it will be pc exclusive so it will be dumbed down even more than Warhead was. (texture pop up is shocking)

Can't wait for Mafia 2 and COD 6

Not a very extensive list.

Only games I'm vaguely interested in purchasing this year are Virtuatennis2009 (360) fightnightround4 (360) Bioshock2 (pc probably) and Modernwarfare2 (pc probably) I will probably be most looking forward to Bioshock2 as I really like the first one. Cant foresee anything mind-blowingly good with any of those though. Maybe a few more titles which rear their heads at me.

It's the time of year.

When the days get lighter less good games are released because the theory is we are all out drinking beer by the river, flying kites and having picnics so we don't want games!

That stays the same regardless of time of year!!haha.

The new screenies of Duke Nukem Forever (released several months ago) actually look quite dull. I still think the game in it's original look with the unreal engine looked better, and still does! It looked like one of the most realistic looking games at the time. Now, they've gone for that arcadey, cartoon look with the graphics.

I really wouldn't worry about it mate. There's more chance of a Socialist revolution happening in England than that game ever being released. Well, maybe not ... sadly.
