If you stop counting sucky games, well I'll let you think about that.

Hell, by this logic Wii is the console to own this year (not a hit on Wii, just making a point).

I patiently await your usual response.

I predict a repeat of 2008- the 360 has a better year than certain fanboys think, but the PS3 will still have the better year overall, unlike what certain other fanboys think. And you're right TC, MS are supposed to reveal 2 new IP's soon.

I think its gonna be lime 2008 personally.

MS will annouce some new games soon, and they wiull have a strong lineup, but like last year, sony will have a better lineup, although this year there will be more games coming from proven series now like uncharted, killzone (psp version did well), SOCOM (not out in UK yet), god of war 3, new R&C ec...

Im a little worried about MS this year, becuase the fact is it doesnt look like there is going to be a huge blockbuster game like gears 2 or halo 3. And its games like that which are keeping MS on top. The new halo game looks pretty small, and I doubt we will see gears 3 till next gen maybe. So are they going to create a new big IP or are they once again relying on better multiplats?

And the best game on the PS3 in 2009 is Killzone 2. No GOW 3 until 2010.

Well, huge 50-100 hours games and vast deep RPG's, with huge open next gen worlds are not ... "sucky" to me

The sucky games for me are linear short shooters like MGS4, Gears 2, Killzone 2, Uncharted 1-2 etc

So, if a game is long and has a large game world, it's immediately a good game?

doent matter how long a game is unless its really good. If it ends up bad then what you end up with is a 100 hour long snoozefest.

Once again, you fail to disappoint! Anywho, unfortunately for me I don't think any 360 exclusives this year interest me yet.

How did he stumble? :P "We tend to underpromise and over-deliver; expect to see our announcements at E3" "Are games being worked on right now which you haven't announced for this year?" "Absolutely" Where's the stumble? Obviously this is a ps3 fanboy site (not gamespot, the one linked in the OP) but still.

Ya vast deep sucky Rpg's what the hell is white gold, or precurser, and I didn't know operation anchorage and Lost and the damned were 50-100 hour games,

EDIT: also alot of the titles you posted will be niche titles, people fall into them for a reason, As for huge titles that make the 360 matter there are like 5 right now and their all sort of meh except for Star Ocean, Alan Wake, and Splinter cell, Halo ODST

One last Edit: all those pc/360 games you posted you know are not exclusive right?

Exclusive is only really relevant to the bubble of system wars. In the real world, the 360 has Street Fighter IV, Resident Evil 5 and Halo Wars releasing back-to-back, so there's no shortage of games.

Well, huge games with varied worlds and gameplay, especially RPG's are always fun for me

Like i had 100x more fun playing IU, Two worlds and Too Human than playing Gears 2, MGS4, Uncharted etc

I am simply not like fanboys that think short linear overhyped and overscored games are the only games you can have fun with, for me those are usually the worst games, for example MGS4 is hands down the worst and most last gen in design game i played in 2008, then Gears 2

Can I borrow your time machine please? You must have ones to already know what games will suck and what ones wont or is it more just well since your a PS3 fan you feel it is your job to say anything on the 360 and not on the PS3 is "sucky".

Indeed, just like past years the herds of Cows are saying otherwise but your right, the 360 line up for 2009 will please gamers like you & me. :) Let them talk up their shiny new , just another shooter, KZ2 that will likely take a back seat Halo Wars in both popularity and score. Like many of those games on your 360 list for 2009 they are calling junk - they were saying the same last year about Halo Wars.

I swear MS has x-play in their back pocket. I checked out their 09 preview on VoD and it was in alphabetical order. When I checked it out they didn't even mention Punch-Out, my most anticipated game this year.

What does that have to do with anything? I can still play it on my 360! I really like the way Microsoft waits to announce games. I'm excited for E3 because I know that their will be announcement for games this year. I hate how Sony announces games 3-4 years before they are released. I get so tired of reading about the game that I end up being disapointed and don't even care anymore. Sony will announce games for 2011-2012-2013 at E3 2009 which really sucks!

Aside from GT5, KZ2, Heavy Rain and WKC, what games have they literally announced 3-4 years in advance? I'm genuinly asking here, I'm confused as to how this whole "Sony announce all their games 3-4 years" thing keeps being spread around. MS announced Too Human, Alan Wake and Halo Wars years in advance too. Besides, the ony games MS announced at last year's E3 and released in the same year were Lips and Scene It.

With Halo 3 Mythic Map Pack coming soon, I don't WANT other games to release 3-4 months after that because I know I will miss them in favour of the addictiveness of Halo 3. :P

I think you're being too defensive. Either that or showing a (slight) favoritism towards the PS3.

I read NHippo's statements as saying: "In the real world, Xbox360-only gamers do have games to play, just that most are multiplat"

So just because he didn't mention a game means it's not coming? Because Star Ocean 4 is coming in that Jan-March time frame. :P I don't see how he stumbled at all. His answers were all surprisingly awesome.

I think Halo is unique, lile AVP games, they are just very very fun

Unlike Gears 2, Killzone 2 etc that are games i would only rent, Halo 3 is actually a game that i can go back to and have fun with, i guess that is its charm from Halo 1 and still in Halo 3

Halo Wars seems to continue that with some great controls, visuals and above fun factor from impressions i read

I guess it is the gameplay that sets those games apart and deserve every praise, that coming from someone that hates linear short shooters

I predict a repeat of 2008- the 360 has a better year than certain fanboys think, but the PS3 will still have the better year overall, unlike what certain other fanboys think. And you're right TC, MS are supposed to reveal 2 new IP's soon.Floppy_Jim

[QUOTE="RickLemieux"][QUOTE="Animal-Mother"] Yeah but you know I can get SFIV and RE5 on my PS3 right?Floppy_Jim

What does that have to do with anything? I can still play it on my 360! I really like the way Microsoft waits to announce games. I'm excited for E3 because I know that their will be announcement for games this year. I hate how Sony announces games 3-4 years before they are released. I get so tired of reading about the game that I end up being disapointed and don't even care anymore. Sony will announce games for 2011-2012-2013 at E3 2009 which really sucks!

Aside from GT5, KZ2, Heavy Rain and WKC, what games have they literally announced 3-4 years in advance? I'm genuinly asking here, I'm confused as to how this whole "Sony announce all their games 3-4 years" thing keeps being spread around. MS announced Too Human, Alan Wake and Halo Wars years in advance too. Besides, the ony games MS announced at last year's E3 and released in the same year were Lips and Scene It.

You can also include the 08 GDC announcements though, Gears of war 2 was announced in Febuary during GDC and came out 10 months later. Ninja Gaiden II was announced Sept 07 and came out 10 months later in June 08.

Yeah, that's true. And Sony did the same with Resistance 2, Motorstorm PR and Siren. Both companies have pretty similar strategies when it comes to announcing games. They both reveal some in advance and some others in a timely fashion.

Microsoft usually does not disappoint when it comes the their gaming lineup for the year, so I believe him (absolutely no reason why I shouldn't based off the past years of awesome gaming :D) and they tend to follow a trend for their middle to end of year lineup with 1 huge blockbuster exclusive shooter (which could be Halo Odst but I smell a true PD sequel in the works ,but I am just speculating), 1 huge blockbuster exclusive rpg (mass effect 2...timed?) and 1 or 2 japanese rpgs(timed or fully exclusive)...and with Peter Molyneux appearing at GDC to unveil what Lionhead's been working on, and with Crackdown 2 and Forza 3 all but confirmed...oh and didnt Rare say they were working on 3 new games? :D...but again I am just speculating about what those unannounced games could be :P *raises flameshield*

Seriously, Halo 3 ODST to be a big title, an expansion pack with less than 6 hours of gameplay not at full price is big, I don't think so IMO, Perfect Dark 2 please.

Xbox 360 has a stunning lineup for 2009, full of huge 50-100 hour deep games and vast open next gen game worlds

http://www.gamespot.com/pages/forums/show_msgs.php?topic_id=26715971&tag=topics;title

I count 109 games !!! Of course more will come and i have forgot many i guess

obamanian

If you stop counting sucky games, well I'll let you think about that.

Hell, by this logic Wii is the console to own this year (not a hit on Wii, just making a point).

I patiently await your usual response.

Well, huge 50-100 hours games and vast deep RPG's, with huge open next gen worlds are not ... "sucky" to me

The sucky games for me are linear short shooters like MGS4, Gears 2, Killzone 2, Uncharted 1-2 etc

None of those games will have over 25 hours of game play, if 15....and alot of them didn't look good....like two worlds

I thought it was ok at best, I loved the co-op and multiplayer in that game, it's the SP that is a letdown though.

I played Fable 2 120+ hours to see everything, Too Human 50+ hours and Two Worlds 60+ hours, and were addicitive and super fun all the way

I do not rush through RPG's like they were linear shooters

Yeah, that's true. It wasn't a bad year for the 360 exactly, but 2007 beats it.

Yeah, 2007 had Halo 3, which beats most 360 games in 08, LOL, I feel like getting a PS3 now.

So, if a game is long and has a large game world, it's immediately a good game?

Doesn't matter, all games coming could suck or be good. We should stop anticipating games?
