I know we have a similar thread for movies, but what games are you looking forward to in 2009?
Here's a few of mine to start things off:
-Batman:Arkham Asylum (PS3)
-God of War 3 (PS3)
-Tekken 6 (PS3)
-Professor Layton: Pandora's Box (DS)- Assuming this one gets released this year
-Anything new in the Phoenix Wright/Apollo Justice series (I hope at least that the Edgeworth spin-off game will come out this year) (DS)

King of Fighters XII, Resident Evil 5, and God of War 3 are the main ones on my radar.
Samurai Shodown: Edge of Destiny catches my eye, I just hope it's nothing like the Hyper Neo Geo 64 titles.

Like films, I'm not to keen on anticipating a lot of upcoming releases. Most of them are SNK's PS2 compilations and remixes (King of Fighters '98 Ultimate Match, Samurai Shodown Anthology, King of Fighters 2002 Unlimited Match, King of Fighters Collection NESTS Saga, ADK Soul). Other than those:
-Street Fighter IV (PC - although I'd kill for a Wii version)
-Untitled TMNT game (Wii)
-Madworld (Wii)
-Punch-Out!! (Wii)
-Battle of the Gods (Whatever platforms it'll be finalized on)
-Kirby of the Stars (Wii - that is, if it's ever released)

I'm hoping Mass Effect 2 is out this year as well.

Yes, who wouldn't love a version of Street Fighter IV with ****** graphics and horrible controls?
Other than SFIV and RE5 there isn't anything that I know of that I'm dying to play right now. If a new Mass Effect did come out I'd be all over that. I am curious to see what comes of this Harmonix Beatles game, and will be observing the progress of the new TMNT with a totally unbalanced mixture of cynicism and hope (guess which there's more of). Other than that I'm not really sure what else to get excited about.
I guess Dynasty Warriors 6 Empires and Guitar Hero Metallica should keep me happy, too.
Oh, ****, and Champions Online.
Prototype (360)
Ghostbusters (360)
Resident Evil 5 (360)
Madworld (Wii)
The Witcher (360)
Batman: Arkham Asylum (360)
Street Fighter IV (360)
Those and Klonoa for Wii. I dunno, it looks charming to me. Oh, and HAWX. I'm a big fan of Ace Combat and this looks similar, so I'll check that.

The Wii port of Dead Rising.
HAHAHAHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!
Now that that's done, I can't really say I'm looking forward to anything thus far, aside from God of War 3.
Like others have mentioned, a new Mass Effect would be dandy. I played the hell out of the first one.
And I would have said Cry On from Mistwalker, but seeing as that's now canceled, I have nothing else.

Wow. You're a good one to talk seeing as how anything on the Wii "is a crappy port, huh huh huh, controls blow, huh huh huh, waggle fails" and "there are only like, huh huh huh, four good games on PS3, uh huh huh huh." Suck it.
I assume now that you've gotten rid of your Wii and all your games, we won't be hearing from you concerning any future Wii releases. So hush up, dick knob.
Peanut
01-11-2009, 07:04 PM
I had 2 Wii's, f*cko. So no.
And almost everything on the Wii IS a crappy port, waggle controls DO fail and the PS3 DOES only have 4 good games.
I'm not hating on **** because I don't own it, which is something you've always seemed to do. I remember when you'd bring up God of War to defend Sony, what happened to all of that?
You've gotten no better at defending your brain dead opinion. This pleases me.

The PS3 sucks because I can't play Uncharted or Uncharted 2.
Ecto Jedi
01-11-2009, 09:44 PM
I find it amusing that you knobs are so f*cking unsure and insecure about your whiny little opinions that one negative mention of God of War 3 and you flip.
Sony deserves my contempt for releasing a flawed piece of hardware that costs like, what, a thousand dollars Canadian? I loved my PS2. Wish I could play the new Grand Theft Auto and Metal Gear Solid games, but hey, that's life.
The point being that I was being a little facetious for the sake of showing you dinks that one can be happy and fulfilled with a Wii, and that there are many upcoming A+ games for the system. God of War this, blah blah blah. Give me a new Punch-Out any day.
So, I repeat. Suck it.
Barkworm
01-11-2009, 10:21 PM
I think there is a misunderstanding: Our opinions are never "insecure", "whiny" or even "little", quite the opposite, they are FACT. The opinion that there are "many upcoming A+ games" for the Wii on the other hand is a fairy tale.

5. TMNT fighter (but cautious at the same time)
I'm hoping for some "surprise" announcements regarding the next Zelda, Kid Icarus, Silent Hill and Castlevania. I'm also furious that Indiana Jones is being axed.
By the way, what was that black and white survival horror that was meant to come out on the wii? It was announced ages ago and I remember seeing screens for it, it's about a woman if I remember right...

If all the rumors about Marvel vs. Capcom 3 persist (and they don't seem to be going away or dying down), that would be my most anticipated.

Seriously, Capcom has done such a bang-up job with SFIV, I'd crap my pants for some more Spidy/Rouge/Chun-Li action two girls on guy action.

You could definitely count me in for a Marvel Vs Capcom 3.
I know it's risky, but I'd like to see them go all out, and maybe try the 3-d route. Maybe something like War of the Monsters(loved this game) or Marvel Nemesis(obviously, with a little more polish).
Although, it seems like it would be hard to translate that speedy combat into 3-d....
Either way, I'd be excited.

........no. 2D engine, 3D graphics. Going full 3D would just be an excuse for Capcom to cut the roaster and save on the licensing costs--which I'm sure is what has kept the game from coming for so long. The only time Capcom ever got 3D right was with Power Stone.
Besides, Street Fighter IV is showing us right now that 2D has got a lot more life to give.

You have good points, but for me personally, I can't imagine they would have enough cool features to add that would make it a true sequel to MVC2. I would just like to see what else they could do, but mind you, I wouldn't complain at all if a 2-D sequel was in the works.

You should have known that going in. The D-Pads on the current-gen systems are all terrible. They can't use Nintendo's design because of patents, and they can't use Sega's because of licensing, so we get suck with half-ass mushy pads with no diagonals (PlayStation) or a rigid chunk of plastic that can't do diagonal or rotational movement worth a damn (Xbox 360). Third party PC controllers are better, and that's just sad. The classic controller is decent for fighters, but no fighter will ever come there.
If you want to play a fighting game (2D or 3D) worth a damn, at least get one of those new wireless Street Fighter pads (http://www.amazon.com/Xbox-360-Street-Fighter-IV-FightPad/dp/B001M22WMO/ref=pd_bbs_sr_3?ie=UTF8&s=videogames&qid=1232528416&sr=8-3). Otherwise, you're going to get walked on.

Here's the thing, people whine like little f*cking babies about this kind of thing. Fighting game fans are probably the most obnoxious assholes in all of games, and it's because of the god damn pads thing. I don't know about anyone else, but I'm fine playing a fighting game with a stick or a kinda sh*tty pad, because I'm not going to be counting frames or trying to pull off some kind of huge combo, anyways.
None of my friends are huge into fighting games, and neither am I, so a regular old gamepad works just fine for everybody. And why even attempt to play a fighting game online? Aside from lag, people own arcade sticks that have pre-recordable buttons, made for tapping in an extremely difficult combo and then pressing a single button to unleash at at their will. Seriously, who wants to deal with sh*t like that?
If you're not going to be competing in a tournament, buying any of the super over-priced arcade sticks is nothing short of retarded.
Ninjinister

I'm a big fighting game fan, but I don't go apescat like any of the hardcore players. I don't buy joysticks to play the game with, I don't memorize long-ass combos, I don't even watch combo videos. Hell, when given the option, I still use one button Fatalities in Mortal Kombat. I play because I enjoy the game (as well as the martial arts that may be represented within).
If you're not going to be competing in a tournament, buying any of the super over-priced arcade sticks is nothing short of retarded.
Well, the counter-argument of that is, basically, if you really love movies, you'd want to get the best equipment for the best experience right? You'd go out and buy a big 1080p TV with a Blu-ray player, right? Of course, this isn't always the case, but it's the right assumption. The same applies here. It's a hobby for people to play fighting games, and to get the best experience, they need the right equipment. Calling them annoying assholes because they want the best experience isn't the way to go.
However, if they are whiney about it (I know these people), and blame their lack of skill on the controller, then they deserve it. After all, it's just a game.

The Witcher: Rise of the white wolf sounded decent and the graphics looked good. Anyone played the previous PC game?
The Chronicles of Riddick: Assault on Dark Athena peaked my interest. I really took a liking to the first one...even tho I had rather low expectations of it.
I'm actually at a loss for my next big game purchase. I've beaten Fable II and was thinking of getting Left 4 Dead.

This is all true but in the preview I posted about it was mentioned that even basic special moves (like fireballs) were almost impossible to pull off. And that is lame.

I don't see how that could even be remotely possible. Fireballs are the easiest move to pull off in SF, or any fighting game, it's the same movement as Scorpion's teleport attack in UMK3, yet I could pull that off without a hitch every single time, using either analog or the pad. How about fireballs in either of the two versions of SFII on XBLA? Both extremely easy to pull off.
If the game even remotely resembles any kind of fighting game, IN ANY WAY, it's not going to be "almost impossible" to pull off a fireball. I'll chalk it up, once again, to fighting game elitists and their need to whack off all over arcade sticks.
Specifically, 1up had a SFIV game night last week, and when asked if it was possible to play effectively with a gamepad, the answer was yes. It's just that fighting game fans and serious players should probably invest in a stick.

That's right, I do remember hearing that the standard controller was supposed to work quite well.

GOD OF WAR 3
Final Fantasy 13
Batman: Arkham Asylum
Marvel Ultimate Alliance II: Fusion
TMNT?
And there's a Wolverine game coming out? Let's hope its good! The PS2 version was pretty decent (I got it for 5 bucks) but c'mon they can do better on the new systems.

What PS2 version?
You better not be talking about Wolverine's Revenge.

Thats what I mean. Where you can uses his senses. I hope they keep that feature.

I'm sorry to break it to you, but that game was terrible.

Wolverine's Revenge made a spot (or splatter) on my sh*t list.

This (http://www.gametrailers.com/player/44815.html?type=flv) video just f*cking sold me on Eat Lead. It looked lame as sh*t before hand, but this was just too god damn good. It looks like it might play a little wonky, but I can't pass up that kind of self-aware bullsh*t in a game. F*cking sold.

I can't recall if I posted in here, and I"m too lazy to backtrack in the pages.
Anywho. One game. There are some others, like SF4, that I really want, but I'm mostly excited for one game.
Sin and Punishment 2.

That's awesome. These days it's rare to see meta-humor that's actually clever.

The concept in general had me kind of intrigued, but now I'm sold, too.

The only thng in the trailer I was a little disappointed with was actually Mark Hamill, he sounded a little off.

Took me a while to get to this thread, anyways:
Halo Wars
Ghost Busters
TMNT (fighting game, looks neat)
Sadly I can't think of anything else at the moment.
Just one thing, Ecto, seriously get bent, you are a disgrace to this land of Canadia. Where in the hell are you looking 1000 dollar PS3s? I would like to know where you find these? Just because you can't afford a system, don't take it out on good games, God of War is a good franchise, you dont have to like it or want to play it, but admit the franchise is good!

...which is odd, because he sounded normal in the Robot Chicken episode I saw Sunday.
