Last week, TechTree looked at some really innovative games slated to release in 2008; whereas this time around, you'll get to take a look at the good old bang-bang-drive-punch-boom-jungle-tried-and-tested type of games aka the most anticipated games of 2008.

You bought an Xbox5985d ago

This game alone will make me trade in my XboX for a PS3!!
There are a lot of top quality title's coming this year for the PS3 wish i could say the same for the XboX

mintaro5985d ago

actually there a quite a few good titles making its way to the 360 in 08.
fable 2, splinter cell conviction, too human, jsut to name a few

jackdoe5985d ago

Mintaro, Too Human is debatable. You forgot Alan Wake and NG2 for the 360. So a good year for both 360 and PS3 owners IMO.

mintaro5985d ago

oops my bad, but i do think too human will shape up to be a fully realized game.

So can any Sony fanboy tell me which great game Guerilla has ever made? Their current track record of greatness? What came before KZ2 that shocked the gaming world in a positive way?

I am so interested

fopums5985d ago (Edited 5984d ago )

killzone liberation.
edit: and Bungie made Oni which was about a 7, then they made Halo:CE which was great and Halo 2 which was not nearly as awesome as it was made out too be, even bungie admited this. Being a handheld game is a non factor and think before you post a cop-out

so what are you so afraid of KZ2 for? anyone who post's as much negetivity about a game that isnt released clearly dosent want the game to happen. Notice I said HAPPEN, the game sucsess will NOT be affected by you, no matter how many post's here at n4g you make you will not effect the games quality.

that goes for all you fanboys, think I would waste me time attacking a game over and over and over? tsk tsk tsk, your better off hunting down the GG employees, that might actualy get you somewhere!

TheMART5985d ago (Edited 5985d ago )

I was talking about great games. KZ liberation is

a.) good, not great, average score about an 8
b.) a handheld game, name one for homeconsoles
c.) just one game.

Now the question again: the track record, that is multiple great games for especially homeconsoles from Guerilla. Can anyone name them?

mesh15985d ago

gorilla are no 1s in the game industry and p.s what the hells with all this idna game sites hahahaha AFRICA IS BETTER THAN INDIA

masterg5985d ago

@TheMART

Why are you looking for any reason (how ever pathetic it may be) to make yourself think KillZone 2 will not be a great game.
Lets say you were right.. What satisfaction would that give you?

wageslave5985d ago

@the_mart & masterg

"Why are you looking for any reason (how ever pathetic it may be) to make yourself think KillZone 2 will not be a great game."

He's said "Tell my how KZ2 justifies this hype, show me why guerilla warrants this faith".

And you reply "why do you want KZ2 to suck?"

You are skirting his question -- and he is 100% correct -- that Killzone 2, has absolutely -Z-E-R-O- credibility as a "sure fire hit".

Guerrilla has no track record, *AND* its only other work was mediocre.

Yet, people are hyped-up for it. Why?

masterg5985d ago

@wageslave

Actually my reply to theMart was to not just this statement. It was to the 100's of statements he has made in the last year about KZ2 not going to be good.

Off course it deserves the hype. Anybody saying it doesn't as a big fanboy.
It's as simple as that. We see tons of new IP's getting a lot of hype when they show something extraordinary. And KZ2 has shown something extraordinary. What should make this game any different?

It's like saying The Lord of the Rings didn't deserve any hype because Peter Jackson had not made anything great before that.

JBaby3435985d ago

The in-game footage is what makes me believe "have faith" that this game will be great. We all know the original CGI movie was bogus but most, even many 360 fans, agree the game looks amazing. Everything from the E3 2007 footage to the 25 min tech demo show this game has great potential. I say potential because we do have to wait and play it but from what I've seen the game has everything it needs. Plus the September Issue of GameInformer stated from "hand-on" time the game is looking incredible and even the much debated AI is tight. The only negatives are coming from people who for whatever reason are wanting the game to be bad. So I have faith in it so far.

metallbizkit5984d ago

@masterg

You mention new IPs getting hype... well KZ2 is not new. The first game is what has me holding back my expectations about KZ2. I remember hearing it claimed as the "Halo Killer" prior to its release, but it certainly wasn't. Hopefully they surpass all expectations and the game rocks.

I.D's new game tech demo's look great, really interested to see what new wolfenstein looks like too and alan wake and alone in the dark

Andreiy5985d ago

OMG finally someone is intersted in rage and wolfenstein. I think RAGE will be out in 2009 becouse its ID and when they say "when its done" it means 3 years of waiting, as for wolfenstein it was in development for 3 years already and i am pretty sure it will be out in 2008.

rev205985d ago

Splinter cell is the poor man's Metal Gear.

Dark_Vendetta5985d ago

I wouldn't say it this way (because it sounds a little bit as if you are a fanboy), but I have to admit that MGS is way better than Splinter Cell in story telling. I just watched the "old" trailer and I loved it. I just hope this game doesn't get hyped like Halo3 (don't get me wrong, Halo3 was really good and had some interesting features, but it was still way too overhyped) and dissapoints me at the end. One of the reason I bought a PSP was MGS (and it will be the same reason for the Ps3), but the PSP version wasn't extraordinary as I expected it to be. I really hope they take their time to perfect this game. I wouldn't mind to wait until next christmas
BTW: Happy new year @ all!

belal5985d ago

How about you actually SHOW wtf you're talking about

Nacho_Z1d 20h ago

Always annoying when articles do that.

I agree with them that the tv show was a bit on the clean side. They got loads right regarding set design etc but there's room for improvement.

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."

ChasterMies25d ago

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

just_looken25d 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

CrimsonWing6926d ago

I don’t think anything can compare to 2023

lucasnooker26d 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!

KyRo26d ago (Edited 26d 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.

CrimsonWing6926d ago (Edited 26d 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.

Profchaos26d ago (Edited 26d 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_Frampt25d 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_looken25d 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.
