MGS4 will be such a great game

TANOD5959d ago

FF13 and MGS4 --2 biggest games of this era

GTA4 would convert 60% of PS2 userbase to PS3 in NA

GT5 alone would sell over millions on launch week in EU

LBP,KILLZONE 2,WARDEVIL,WKS(huge RPG),EIGHT DAYS,GETAWAY 3,LA NOIRE,RESISTANCE 2,MOTORSTORM 2

OMG thats the best lineup in History of GAMING

Wonderbhoy5959d ago

LA NOIRE won't be out in 2008. The rest of the games are sick though!

I really can't wait for some of these. I really hate some comments on here though, like "360 is screwed"

Wake up people! PS3 and the 360 will both be around and have exclusive games for a long time.

Kenshin_BATT0USAI5959d ago (Edited 5959d ago )

umm no 60% of ps2 userbase is a little under 60 million, I can't see any console selling 60million in a year.

The Killer5959d ago (Edited 5959d ago )

already ps3 is outselling the 360 which has thrown every thing they had this holiday season and ps3 only some great new IP's and one superb game uncharted!

am starting to feel sorry for 360 owner specifically the bots of them, they r loosing the war and they cant do anything except buy the new SKU's of 360!

EDIT
@Wonderbhoy

like we need to hear it from u to know that both consoles will be here for a while, every body knows that with some doubts with the life span of 360.
and when i say 360 is screwed doesnt mean its dead, i meant that their dream of being the ps2 for this generation is over, because we all heard many people and even analysis saying that, plus when u talk with fanboys its boring to be like a wise guy and saying nice things to stupid blinded fanboys! when u fight a devil be a devil him self and whose who started it r the first devils!!

SSCOOLCHEA5959d ago

SINGSTAR , But MGS definite buy , The best deal ever was for subsistence $29.99 . Hope he has something like that for mgs with the online . Me personally they can move GOW3 to 09 cause I see alot of first party games that are really good coming for 08 ( i only buy first party games few exceptions )(3rd party games i wait till its $20 bucks )

Darkiewonder5959d ago

I thought I was the only one.

The only thing about that game is that whoever is managing the US Store for Sing Star better have the songs ready to be filled up.

TANOD5959d ago

you would find millions waiting for that game

heyheyhey5959d ago

singstar FTW!!!! ps3 is also a karaoke machine- is there anything that it cant do? (apart from negotiate peace deals in the middle east- although im fairly sure the CELL can do that as well lol)

meepmoopmeep5959d ago

SingStar is one i'm dying to get as well... and i usually by 1st party games and exclusives (if they peek my interest) I hope the SingStore has a lot of great songs to download.

2008: SingStar, Killzone 2, MGS4, LBP & FFXIII (i hope)

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."

ChasterMies2d ago

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

just_looken2d 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

CrimsonWing693d ago

I don’t think anything can compare to 2023

lucasnooker3d 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!

KyRo3d ago (Edited 3d 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.

CrimsonWing693d ago (Edited 3d 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.

Profchaos3d ago (Edited 3d 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_Frampt2d 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_looken2d 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.

SimpleSlave3d 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

Tacoboto3d 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

Inverno3d 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

isarai3d 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

anast5d 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.

LucasRuinedChildhood5d ago

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

VenomUK4d ago

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

I would’ve focused on the creative.

anast4d ago

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

gold_drake4d ago

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

anast4d 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.

Armaggedon4d ago

Not all games “look” current.

anast4d ago

Their games always look like the gen before it.

Armaggedon3d 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_drake3d ago

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

anast3d 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.
