Wait and see... Fallout 3 will slaughter in 2008-9.

Cryxen5947d ago

It reminds me of 2 old tv shows, Magpie Moments (Which is Fallout) and Peacock Dreams (MGS).

Now, Remember Magpie moments? Exactly, but Peacock Dreams yeah?

(I'm just a MGS fan, I don't have anything against Fallout but... It's MGS! Kojima's finale! WTF?!?!)

bohemian 235947d ago

Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha YES YES YES. Snake is like 65 in diapers eating soft foods. Who wants to play that. Is Metal gear 5 gonna be an escape from a nursing home ? Fall out 3 can't get here soon enough.

Mr_Kuwabara5947d ago

Snake is in his 40's btw. Just comes to show that you know NOTHING about the series. (I won't explain why he looks old because I don't want to keep on wasting my time on you)

Cherchez La Ghost5947d ago

LOL!!!! Pass the Just for Men & Viagra to Snake.

coltsfreak185947d ago

how do you have a non exclusive game as the most hyped. SSMB or MGS4 def.

Amnesiac5947d ago

Yeah, so funny! LOL!

If your I.Q. is below 80 and/or you are 12 years old.

Get a life, tools.

JasonPC360PS3Wii5947d ago (Edited 5947d ago )

I'm a multiplayer guy, 95% of what I own are multilayer FPS and this game is my SP game of 08. I own Bioshock, Oblivion and Mass Effect but thats it the other 22 games have MP. In 08 all I wan't is Frontlines, Tiberium, Battlefield, and Quake Wars, but there is Ninja Gaiden 2, Star Wars Force Unleased and Fallout 3 comming. Fallout 3 looks just amazing and it's made by Bethesda and they are virtual magicians to me. If anyone here has played the Fallout series know the story is great so I would expect the same if not more out of Fallout 3. The only thing I can think of that would make this game better is MP LOL :) or some coop.

EDIT: LOL sup MK, I was just kidding about the MP, well accept the co-op thing. I would have loved to go online with about 6 of my buddies and explore Oblivion, Mass Effect or take down a couple of Big Daddy's with a friend or two.

MK_Red5947d ago (Edited 5947d ago )

Jason 360, while I do love Fallout and agree with many of your points, I actually believe that Fallout 3 and Fallout in general is meant to be singleplayer because it's an RPG that you are to build your character, one character to become the the ultimate badass in wastelands.
The same goes for Mass Effect and BioShock which I do believe the best to be sp. Of course I'm a 99& singleplayer guy :)

UPDATE: ParaDise_LosT, definitly agreed and thanks :)

ParaDise_LosT5947d ago

I can't agree with you more.....

Fallout 3 will rule 08

zambrota5947d ago

How would a multiplat game rule over an exclusive game.

Fallout 3 is coming out on PC,ps3 and xbox 360.

I have yet to see someone being excited for this game except our MK RED

BrianC62345947d ago

What a horrible list. And a horrible site. I never even heard of those idiots before.

sonarus5947d ago (Edited 5947d ago )

well never played fallout myself but i have heard good things. MGS1 made me almost sell my N64 back when it first came out. Its still all a matter of opinion but i gotta ride wit snake. Those of you who won't be getting will be missing a huge part of gaming history...i can guarantee you we are gonna see some things that havent been done before and will have us talking for months. Fallout 3 may be the same so if it is i guess i'll get that too. Regardless though mgs4 is my most anticipated game of the yr.
lol @hating on snake cus he suffers from accelerated aging. Yall snake haters can keep hating but in the end mgs4 word of mouth will have you playing before you know it

The Killer5947d ago

MGS,FF13 and versus 13,killzone 2,resistance 2,gears of war 2,ninja gaiden 2,fallout 3, any of those games can be the biggest games of 2008! but who in particular no one knows only when they are released we can know!my impressions is that they will be killzone 2, MGS4, and gears of war 2,FF13(and maybe resistance 2)!!

MikeGdaGod5947d ago (Edited 5947d ago )

if so there's almost no way i'm getting it

i'm so sick and tired of FPS's, this would have to be one like no other

EDIT: so it can be played in 3rd person? you just recuited me

MK_Red5947d ago

scottie2521, seriously, Fallout 3 is not FPS. It's an RPG that can be play with 2 different camera views: 3rd person like Mass Effect and first person like Oblivion. It's a deep and classic RPG before anything.

IzKyD13315947d ago (Edited 5947d ago )

this list is so BS, i thought game websites arent supposed to be biased!
mercenaries 2?
starcraft 2?
alan wake?
lego batman?
left 4 dead
arent all these titles supposed to be games to kinda look forward to? WHERE IS KILLZONE 2 OR RESISTANCE 2?!!!!!
wait did they forget something?

GRAN TURISMO 5!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!

TheExecutive5947d ago

lol this list is exactly opposite of what I would put down. Starcraft II at #6?? Really??

To each his own I guess.

led10905947d ago

well u'll be surprised to know how huge starcraft 2 really is.....infact it is the hot fav to be the highest selling game this year......yes even more than gta4

RadientFlux5947d ago

Joys of personal preference... personally MG4 would be closer to the bottom on my list of my most wanted.

poos35947d ago

mgs4 has become a no brainier game fallout 3 /too human/fable 2 /splinter cell /are way better games and bring new things compared to mgs4 which looks like a generic 3rd person shooter and is not free world its like a tunneled game ur path is already layed out for u .

Kleptic5947d ago

Splinter Cell: Conviction > MGS4?...are you serious?...just stop living...

and good luck with how Too Human turns out...its been a long run, but wait till Epic's counter-suit goes through before you start praising that as one of 2008s bright spots...

resistance1005947d ago

I still can't see what the big fuss is about Fallout 3. IMO however MGS4 is no longer my most anticipated game, Resistance 2 is

bohemian 235947d ago

After Fall out comes out you'll be picking up resistance 2 in the cheap games bin.

MK_Red5947d ago

What is Fallout 3? Well, it's sequel to the best RPG ever created, it's being made by Bethesda, devs of Oblivion and Morrowind.
Plus, it doesn't hurt that after BioShock, Fallout 3 is the game that was nominated for the most Game of the E3 awards at E3 2007. BioShock was fully finished game. Fallout 3 was 10 percent done back then.

Looking Back At 2008, An Unbelievably Incredible Year Of Video Game Releases

Huzaifa from eXputer: "2008 was home to the likes of Call of Duty: World at War, Dead Space, GTA 4, Far Cry 2, Left 4 Dead, and many other hits, which is outright remarkable."

ChasterMies7d ago

Some of these low paid video game “news” writers weren’t born before 2007.

just_looken7d ago

Here here

Those that were around before 2000's i am sure are like me that think we entered a world of non readers or those that follow without question.

I can not wait to see fallout 3 a goty game even though it was about water with non content until you add the dlc/updates then you got the performance/crashing

CrimsonWing697d ago

I don’t think anything can compare to 2023

lucasnooker7d ago

1998 - the best year in gaming! Metal gear solid, crash bandicoot 3, medievil, half life, ocarina of time, thief, tenchu, resident evil 2, Spyro, tomb raider 3, oddworld abes exodus, banjo kazooie.

It was a different breed of a gaming era. You’ll never understand what it was like back then. The aura of gaming, it was different!

KyRo7d ago (Edited 7d ago )

I second this. Gaming was a lot more varied and fun than it is today. I'm 35 so getting on compared to some here but I got to see all the changes from NES up to now but I've never felt so disappointed in any generation than I have this current gen. I was expecting more from this generation rather than prettier versions of games that came before it. Game mechanics have become so refined that alot of games feel the same and has done for a while now.

Maybe it's time to have a break for a while. I love gaming but I don't feel I get much fun in the traditional sense out of it anymore.

CrimsonWing697d ago (Edited 7d ago )

Metal Gear Solid, Resident Evil 2, Abe’s Exodus, and Ocarina of Time are the only things from that list that I liked.

Here’s the 2023 game releases that I personally liked… and big releases that I didn’t care for:

- Dead Space Remake
- Wo Long Dynatsy
- Resident Evil 4 Remake
- Diablo 4
- Fire Emblem Engage
- Hogwarts Legcay
- Street Fighter 6
- Hi-Fi Rush
- Like a Dragon: Ishin
- Octopath Traveler 2
- Final Fantasy Pixel Remasters
- Final Fanatsy XVI (actually ended up not liking this, but it was still a big deal release)
- Baldur’s Gate 3
- Armored Core VI: Fires of Rubicon
- Lies of P
- Mortal Kombat 1
- Marvel’s Spider-Man 2
- Starfield (Ended up hating this one, but big release)
- Super Mario Bros. Wonder
- Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom (I’m an old-school Zelda fan, but didn’t really enjoy this game)
- Alan Wake 2

I mean, honestly I’ve never seen a year of major IP releases like that, ever.

Profchaos7d ago (Edited 7d ago )

Isn't it just a generational thing realistically.

I've been gaming since way back and I some of my favourite games go as far back as the late 80s for me each generation has a year or two of game changing releases one after another before an inevitable dry spell.

I kind of agree gaming had a different feel games hit different because we didn't have the internet nothing got spoiled and you really had to put in the effort to beat a puzzle which could set entire groups of people looking for a solution. But most importantly games were experimental and not as cookie cutter as today even basics like controls were not universal today r2 is shoot l2 is ads garunteed you can't deviate from that in a shooter back then it could of been square, R1 or R1 and circle nothing was standard.

But as time moves on a new generation picks up their controller they are going to be interested in different things that PS1 demo disc with the t Rex blew our primitive 16 bit brains back on launch but to kids today it's laughable.
The new gen of kids coming into to hobby seem to value different things to us there seems to be a huge focus on online play, streamers, gaming personalities, and social experiences, convience of digital downloads. To me I value none of that but that's ok like my parents not liking the band's I would listen to its just the natural cycle.

Gameseeker_Frampt7d ago

Just about every year in the 7th generation was great and something we most likely won't experience again.

2009 for example had Assassin's Creed 2, Batman: Arkham Asylum, Dragon Age: Origins, Uncharted 2, Halo 3: ODST, Killzone 2, Borderlands, Bayonetta, and Demon's Souls to name a few.

just_looken7d ago

It still amazes me we got over 7 rockstar games ps2/ps3 but 3 for the ps3/ps4/ps5

Dragon age 1-3 and mass effect 1-3 in 7ish years what a generation.

Now is the Best Time to Get This Incredible RPG Bundle on Steam

If you are looking for an awesome RPG, look no further. Steam is offering a significant discount on its Fallout Franchise Bundle.

SimpleSlave8d ago

"You can get all Fallout games in a bundle at a significant 20% discount on Steam. Individually, all these games add up to $244.91. With the discount, you can get them all for $195.91. That is $49 less than the original price. Quite a significant discount for such a popular franchise."

😊 😂 🤣 😐 - But why?

Just wait for a sale and get most if not all of it for a fraction of that price.

20% off...lol

Tacoboto8d ago

The games were just on a real sale over the last week or two for the show promotion. Fallout 4 was $10, 3 was $5, NV was cheap as heck too.

So what the heck is this

Inverno8d ago

The original games have been given out for free by Amazon for GOG and Epic, 76 is free now on Amazon if you have prime, Epic has also given out new Vegas for free and 4 has gone down to pretty cheap prices. 194 bucks is a total ripoff when you can get these games individually for less. Don't forget cd keys might sell em for a dollar less at times too. Come on man, us cheapskates won't touch anything near or above 100 lolz

isarai8d ago

Bro that's a ridiculous ripoff are you kidding me? 🤣

Fallout 3's Reveal Led To Death Threats And Bethesda's First Security Guard

The artist behind Fallout 4’s Deathclaw reveals just how bad things got back when Bethesda took over the series

anast9d ago

People are stupid I get it. No one should feel unsafe,

But I think they need to talk about why they cut so many corners during the development process and why none of their games ever look current. And why they think all of this is okay while they charge full price.

LucasRuinedChildhood9d ago

As much as Bethesda deserve criticism, that's not really relevant to the reveal of Fallout 3 in 2007.

VenomUK9d ago

The default angle Kotaku always go for is to highlight the worst in gaming.

I would’ve focused on the creative.

anast8d ago

The game went downhill at Fallout 3's release. This is when they started to cut corners.

gold_drake9d ago

there is no "but". the hell lol
you dont send death threats, period.

anast8d ago

Usually, you have good comments but this isn't one of them. It just rides the mob. We can do both condemn the actions and not let them use it for other things.

I can say I received a death threat and everyone needs to shut up. People are not honest and will use horrible things to their advantage.

Armaggedon9d ago

Not all games “look” current.

anast8d ago

Their games always look like the gen before it.

Armaggedon8d ago

Yeah, but thats not the result of laziness, incompetence, or a bad engine. Thats what happens with their type of open world games. Its hard for people to find a point of comparison because no one makes games like Bethesda does.

gold_drake8d ago

mh ok thanks, i still think ur wrong in this mate.

anast8d ago

No problem. I'm not here to convince you. I'm only stating an actuality. What your words do if we look at them like events.
