I never heard of Tom Clancy's Firehawk. I wonder what that is about.

eLiNeS5934d ago (Edited 5934d ago )

"Following our exclusive unveil of the next entry in the Tom Clancy franchise back in our November 2007 issue, Ubisoft remains frustratingly silent on additional details. We know it ties in with the rest of the Clancy-verse (check out your objective in the upper-right corner of the screen: "Escort the Ghosts"); that it's set in 2012; and that you're an ace freelancer for a private military corporation. We were also told that Firehawk will include some 60-odd fighter jets, including the F-15E Strike Eagle and the Rafale.

Ace combat 6 only made us hungrier for more high-altitude action. Let's go, Ubisoft!"

I assume it's their new flying (war) game.
Edit: Argh! Beat by someone again! My internet is running so slow right now for some reason. :(

@ Dr pepper: "My internet is running so slow right now for some reason. :( "

Maybe you should stop all the p0rn downloads.

Not to mention furry palms.

A list of hot games with "Lego Batman" on it is hard to take serious.

They should have called it "The games coming out in 2008" not the "hot" games.

SeNiLe9115933d ago

then you don't know what you're missing, pretty fun stuff believe it or not.

myxomatosis5933d ago

do you know if this is coming to the PS3 aswell? i hope so, we could use a good jet fighter sim too!

This is bull. If it was 50 hottest games of the year than it would be a much better list. None of the next gen systems has 50 hot games in a 2008.

-EvoAnubis-5933d ago

Most of the games they mentioned are multi-platform. Why is that? Why no Halo Chronicles, or Alan Wake? This list is nonsense.

Dr Pepper5934d ago

Strange they didn't include Alan Wake, Conviction or Project Offset...

Covenant5934d ago

Yeah, no Alan Wake listed...and LOL at listing Duke Nukem Forever.

Dr Pepper5934d ago

At first I thought they didn't list them because they weren't sure whether they would make an 08 release (even though they should) but then I saw Duke Nukem and that theory was shot down. Hmmmmm...

eLiNeS5934d ago (Edited 5934d ago )

Down below on the page, a little blurb, it states: "From this list, we'd be least surprised if Alan Wake, Far Cry 2, Street Fighter IV, Fallout 3, and Duke Nukem Forever ended up coming out in 2009."

wageslave5934d ago

They decided to make the list "50 Hottest" - so, they couldnt include everything. This is one editorial-board's opinion.

I might think including Infinite Undiscovery, World in Conflict, Banjo Kazooie, Huxley(!) and Age of Conan.

BLACKJACK VII5933d ago (Edited 5933d ago )

"Strange they didn't include Alan Wake, Conviction or Project Offset... "

Army of Two... DMC4... Dark Sector... Gears 2... I would label all of these titles as some of the "hottest".

Whats up DP.

dragonJP5933d ago

...I'm more than a little worried that those games didn't make the list, especially since they are AAA titles that are extremely integral to MS's success this year. Hope I don't break my fingers keeping them crossed for these games--- not to mention Gears of War 2 and Halo Chronicles--- to make it out this year....

HardcoreGamer5934d ago

its all sort of oppinion on what is hot for 360?

Covenant5934d ago

There are some quality games on that list...not all are AAA, but I see some potential million-sellers there.

Dang. I'm gonna be just as broke in '08 as I was in '07. :)

dragonJP5933d ago (Edited 5933d ago )

...and that doesn't even factor in time! I'm so busy right now that the four games I got for the 360 as Christmas presents, Mass Effect, Call of Duty 4, Stranglehold, and Assassin's Creed, HAVEN'T EVEN BEEN OPENED YET!!!!!!!!! Yes, all of my wonderful family and friends know full well that JP is a longtime hardcore gamer. Covenant, you hit the nail right on the head, BUBBLE FOR YOU. Never been a better time to be a gamer, if you have got the money AND the time....

Games That Were Bad on Release, But Are Now Great

BLG writes, "Some of the most popular games have had a rough start, with some of them being downright unplayable.

Despite that, developers have managed to turn it around for them and make their game worth playing. Here are some games that had a rough start but were pretty great."

Good list..hoped to see Street Fighter 5 there..and it is.

Vits4d ago (Edited 4d ago )

Sea of Thieves... I'm not disagreeing that the game has improved in terms of content. But I feel that the most significant change between now and its release is actually the public perception. Nowadays, most people are aware that the game is a multiplayer PvP-focused experience first and foremost, and not "Black Flag made by Rare". Consequently, people dismissing the whole experience because the single-player aspect is lacking or the story is plain are much less common.

darthv724d ago

Several years ago, i submitted an idea to Rare that would change up the mechanics of battling opponents in the game. whereby if you died in battle, you turned into a skeleton warrior and had to fight your way back to the land of the living. It was an interesting twist on respawning and would allow the player to experience both sides of a battle.

I keep hoping to see something like that get added to the game.

Kaii4d ago

They consider FO 76 & ME Andromeda to be great now 🤭

anast4d ago

Every game in the last 2 decades...

INMATEofARKHAM4d ago

It's sad that this quick retort is more often than not true... The industry's acceptance of release and patch has gone too far.

gunnerforlife3d ago

Days gone! By the end of the game I couldn't drop it down! I went around so many hours killing zombies! It was addictive by the end.

S2Killinit3d ago

That game was just plain good game. It didnt improve, it was just good.

gunnerforlife3d ago

I don't know, I got it abit late, and struggled for a few days, and then all of a sudden it just got good!!
