Games you are waiting for in 2009

[Castille]

Madden

[Manoil]

Madden

By far the most challenging, innovative and original series to date

[Frater Perdurabo]

Starcraft 2 anyone?
Personally, I'm not really interested in playing it, I just want to see if it lives up to it's predecessor (I doubt, but hey).

HL1 redone on the source engine. It looks pretty damn bueno and HL1 is one of my favourite FPSes of all time. I can speedrun through that shit with eyes shut. Should be out in the near future.

[Castille]

No, it's not all that, when I see John Madden I get a hard-on.

for those interested in FEAR 2:

there's a massive video preview (in-game footage) of 1st mission at a Polish gaming site (obvsly spoilers)

text is in PL but you know where to click eh

If you want to see some action just go to the bit marked 17:04.

So far - corridor shooter with bullet-time. Kind of reminds me of Blood 2 and Max Payne

I'm awaiting these games in 2009:

RPGs:
Dragon Age: Origins
Eschalon - Book 2 (still have to buy book 1, but will get to it sometime this year)
Drakensang - the dark eye - (if I don't buy the German version of it)

Adventure games:

Gray Matter
Sherlock Holmes vs. Jack the Ripper

and some other games as well....

F.E.A.R. 2 makes me kinda confused. On one hand, I'd rather see a No One Lives Forever 3. On the other hand, I realize what a dumbed down piece of shit it would likely be a la Deus Ex 3, BioShit, or Fallout 3. Damn game industry.

[Manoil]

I'm with Frater on this one. I've been waiting on Black Mesa: Source for a while now, and the sooner they get it done, the better. Half-Life is one of my top-ten franchises, along with Fallout and Aliens.

Hopefully some of the level design and enemy placement will be different. I enjoy the shooter, but having exactly the same experience on new graphics? No thank you.

[St. Toxic]

Hate to kill your buzz mangos, but judging by that, and in general, 09 seems like another shitty year in gaming. I can only anticipate, or hope rather, that someone'll be "playing the Joker card" if you know what I mean.

Yeah, good point.

[CloudNineGT]

Seriously no mention of Mass Effect 2?

Q4 2009 - apparently.

[Superhaze]

Ohh.. be careful. There are grumpy people on dac, if you didnt know. Grumpy and angry people.

Im waiting for Mass Effect, Empire:TW, HoI3. I dont really know of any other games coming out. And i'm to lazy to read all the posts.

[PiP]

if you're waiting for Alien RPG read first point in the 'experience' section of this CV:

[MadBill]

Perimeter 2
It is out but I haven't purchased it yet.
For me, the most surprising and unexpected sequel ever.

wtf is a vertical slice?

that article also says the project was cancelled, but Gearbox seems to retain that it's still under development... might require some clarification

[VasikkA]

Reading comprehension is overrated.

[cazsim83]

I'm anxiously awaiting RE5 - that's about it. Maybe the new aliens colonial marines game, too, but I can't think of anythign else that jumps out at me.

[confound]

If you're waiting for Mass Effect 2, I've got Mass Effect laying on top of my PC here. I can just write a 2 on the box and the disc and I think that should pretty closely replicate the experience.

Blizzard is one of those companies who give a shit.

I bet the game will be great, if it sucesses starcraft 1 is a gamble, but noone will be dissapointed thats for sure, Everty game tbey have made so far has been a sucees,
