IGN Entertainment's GamerMetrics, the video game industry's leading business intelligence tool, revealed today that this year's most anticipated games are…
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."
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.
MW 2019 is five years old at this point and on previous gen hardware, but it is still the best looking Call of Duty game to date.
MW was an excellent videogame. They messed up Spec Ops big time, but aside from this it was a huge step in the right direction initially. Most notably, at launch it seemed to come from a very cohesive creative vision that was felt across gameplay, to story to art style/visual direction. It was also very notably written by prominent ex-Naughty Dog guys that quit almost immediately before release.
That COMPLETELY dissolved through post-launch content and the full pivot to a "cross-mode" narrative that completely obliterated the cohesion in overall story direction. Warzone then "became" the new face of Call of Duty and the franchise completely removed itself from anything remotely creatively "good". It is a pure money machine, so I kinda get why they're doing it....but I personally completely lost interest.
I would love to see Infinity Ward move off CoD and get to make their own product with full control. They clearly have some massive talent in their ranks but it's perverted by Activision's corporate interests.
This should make fans and collectors very happy. PureArts & Ubisoft Announce Assassin’s Creed Hunt for the Nine 1/6 Scale Diorama Assassin's Creed Hunt for the Nine 1/6 Scale Diorama available for pre-order on January 25.
Grand theft Auto definitely had to make the list. Halo 3 no doubt about that. Assassin's Creed, definitely looking forward to that.
Bias...
The add note that the ps3 lineup is flawed was a clear giveaway. I agree that halo is probably gonna be the most sold game of the year (unless we count wii sports :) ) simply on install and fan base but there are titles for the ps3 that look excellent as well and more than capable to fight bioshock and too human. Gta is Gta, Madden however didnt expect it.
I didn't expect Madden to be on the list but then again I'm not one of the people who buys into the Madden series of games. I preferred the 2K sports series much more than Madden.
C'mon, photorealistic flight sim, customizable and upgradeable air fighters, and multiplayer dogfights for 32 players. Nobody else wants that?
Rock Band FTW!!
