2008 Xbox 360 Game Hype List

Eric Qualls of about.com writes,"Typically, the Winter and Spring seasons are a slow time for the videogame industry. Not in 2008. The sheer number of high profile titles that got pushed from Fall 07 to Winter/Spring 08 is amazing. Sorry folks, your wallet won't get a break. We take a look at all of the games that we know about coming in 2008 in our 2008 Xbox 360 Games Hype List."

"Now, we can't control if games get delayed or canceled or the developer flip-flops exclusivity on us. This is just a forward looking article based on what we know now on what we can expect in 2008. Also, this is not every single game that has been announced, just the ones that we are looking forward to. There is surely a lot that we don't even know about yet, but there are still more than 60 huge games coming in the next 12 months. And even better, many of these games will likely be out before Summer!" See the list below...

Same could be said for ps3 and wii... Half those games listed were multiplatform anyways.

jiggyjay5986d ago (Edited 5986d ago )

yeah but who's going to provide Hi Def graphics and half the price of that Blu Ray player that Sony is calling the PS3 in 2008? Before GTA4 lauches I guarantee your going to see a the core 360 at $199 which is the sweet spot for gaming consoles..

Edit- GTA4 only needs a harddrive for the downloadable content.. People who bought a PS3 to play games are the biggest idiots there is! LOL Blu Ray is needed gaming! Yeah Warhawk the best game out for the PS3 is only 800mb!

Vojkan5986d ago (Edited 5986d ago )

You need HDD to play GTA4, so core is useless, but MS counts on naive idiots like you to buy that crap.

BTW- that list is BS Bully?! Yeah everyone is so hyped for that. So much that people waited 2 years, ignoring it totally for 2 years even if it was on PS2.
Do you people realise how pathetic that list is? Full of MULTIPLATFORM, mediocre, old games, unprooven IPs, etc.

MaximusPrime_5986d ago

i was expecting the list to be exclusive to Xbox but over half of them aint.

Burnout Paradise is the one im looking forward to for my PS3. I have the many collection of Burnout for my Playstation.

I had Burnout Revenge for Xbox 360. The game was fantastic and it is brilliant in HD. But the controller setup.. i wasnt used to. i cant even boost my car properly (at the start)

rofldings5986d ago

2008 3shitty slogan:

360 has no games!
360's Game of the Year 2008: RRoD
360 is an upscaling dvd player with no games

etc etc etc, amirite?

PS3PCFTW5986d ago (Edited 5986d ago )

90 % of those are multiplat!!!!!the remaining 10% will go to pc!!

haha it seems bioshock and gears of war are the only games worth getting a xbox for.

NEVERMIND, HALO3 is garbage and gears of war AND bioshock are on pc. i guess the only thing to get a xbox for is so u can experience the rrod in 640p with 5.1 surround sound

hades075986d ago

Is it just me, or does it seem like for a xbox 360 topic theres alot of PS3 fanboys reading what it has to say and even commenting on it. Why is that? I have a PS2 and a 360 and I dont plan on getting a PS3 anytime soon therefore have no reason to read any news that strictly has to do with the PS3 and waste what little time I have to waste during the day to comment on it, so why are so many PS3 owners so childish to read about another console they seem to hate just to complain and whine about it.

unlimited5986d ago

Wow, a lot of crappy games accept for a few..And most of all of is for the PS3 or even the PC..Sucks to be a 360 owner next year..well its never to late to get the PS3 with all the great deal goin on right now..

PS3PCFTW5986d ago

hades07:

who are u really? firstknight? the mart? lawman? WHAT XBOT TROLL ARE YOU?

funny how you have only 3 posts

Lord Cheese5985d ago

They just cant help themselves to be honest. there are a few damned annoying 360 fanboys on this site, no doubt, but thats nothing compared to the number of ignorant moron ps3 owners who spend hours searching for places to troll. (And i have both consoles before anyone starts saying i'm an xbot, which i might add is one of the WORST insults i have ever come across in my life, and i am really happy with my ps3, as i am with my 360)

Fanboys (both xbox and ps3) need to get a damn life. You dont like the console you dont own, fine - theres no need to soil articles which may be interesting, and drowning out comments from people that are actually interested in whats being reported. You are ruining N4G. Its only a shame those of us who try and have a sensible discussion about the articles posted here cant ban you from the site permanently. Its getting like a schoolyard in here.

BLUR1115985d ago (Edited 5985d ago )

who cares about the stupid console war alot of these games will be awesome omg.. Soul calibur 4 can't wait!

FPS nut5985d ago

Seriously I can just smell the "jealousy" through my laptop. Guys ever stop to consider the PS3 list for 08 would be bigger if PS3 owners bought more games? A 2 attach rate just don't cut it guys, I own about 6 PS3 games but I alone can't fill the gap.

sicknnyc5985d ago

SORRY! PS3 is getting all those games! (The good one I mean)

Irving5986d ago

Thats a long list. Didn't know 360 had so many exclusives coming out next year to "crush" the competition :/

Btw checkout the first sponsored link at the bottom of the article :D

Neurotoxin5986d ago (Edited 5986d ago )

Erm..... They are not all exclusives thats why, Multiplatform is included.

Correct me if i`m mistaken but i think about 10 are Exclusive to Xbox.

razer5986d ago (Edited 5986d ago )

in this article did it say that these were all exclusive?? Also, yes I see the Microsoft Sponser right above the SONY Playstation 3 sponser.. If that was meant to be a diss on MS you fail.

Also, this list is way incomplete. I don't even see Project Offset listed which is an exclusive.

SmokeyMcBear5986d ago

haha rebel.. yeah i saw that.. it was priceless

Daishi5985d ago

Hey edmix where are the RTS's on your list? Oh that's right, sorry for bringing that up... Well you can always get a 360 cause you see plenty on that list ;)

rofldings5985d ago

Who the hell plays RTS on a console?

rubarb235985d ago

agreed 100% but you forgot one thing dude, the ps3 is so advance, it not only play games and blu ray movies, it....it.....it.....well have a look!

Amazing isn't it?

PStriple7035986d ago

that's the best the 360 has next year? multi games lol

Honeal2g5986d ago

check this out although ps3 will most definetly have some sick exclusives next year....ppl are still waiting for these multiplatform games ..Devil May Cry 4 is kind of a big deal,this little game called GTA4 yea it will sell, multiplatform doesnt make the game less respectable. wats the fan base of GTA? 14 15 million? wat percent of those ppl will buy it or buy it for 360? cmon now. 360 will be fine as will ps3 ....but now the Wii i can see that decline alot especially in the wake of the ps3 and 360 smash hits comin out.

BISHOP-BRASIL5986d ago

Really, don't expect nothing near that for GTA IV... GTA III, Vice City and San Andreas sells much, but they sold most of it over time, being in a plataform with 120m units sold... After that, they go XB and PC, sold more... After all, we was talking about a really impreved entire last gen (GTA III come early, but still, it sold less than others) agains only two barely stabilished consoles...

Take my words, till very end 2008, GTA IV will not have sold much more than 5, 6 million... And that if this sells very good.

power of Green 5986d ago

List is not close to being finsish check out IGN's 360 release dates link to see all the 2008 games.

I would approve this but the list is missing too many games.

PStriple7035986d ago

so your happy about games that are coming too the ps3 too huh?

Omegasyde5986d ago

yera but POG keep in mind most of those games will suck :)

THe 360 exclusives do look good however, but I believe Sony has 2008 as far as that goes.

If home ever comes out too I might have to buy PS3 multiplatform games instead of the 360 versions.

B Man5986d ago

I'm happy... only a moron would get depressed over a game (that's coming to the very console you own) going to all of the consoles. Who the f#*% cares man? Everyone on this damn site needs to shut the hell up and play their freaking games. If it is coming to your console, and you'll get to play it, what's there to complain about?

HaKeRsCanRotINHEL5986d ago

Oh'well, I got a laugh out of it. "Submitting in each others mouths & from behind," KILLER!;) LOL 8D

'08 looks very promising for M$, looks like I'm gonna be broke next year too. :(

I never got around to mass effect - I’m skeptical that it would hold up if I were to try it now

Furesis11h ago

I would say it does. The combat is a bit shit for todays standards but everything else is great.

anast9h ago

It's worth a play through today.

El Shaddai: Ascension of the Metatron - Coming Back for a New Generation

Originally launched in 2011, El Shaddai: Ascension of the Metatron is coming to Nintendo Switch, so It's time to look back at the original.

jznrpg1d 5h ago

Still have my ps3 copies. Bought it at launch and another one when I found it cheap and in perfect condition about 10 years ago. I wouldn’t buy it on Switch but if they made a PS5 version I would. I still have one of my PS3 Fats hooked up so good to go either way.

darthv721d 5h ago

Id play it again on the switch. I wished my 360 version was bc but this is still a good way to play.

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

anast1d 7h 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.

LucasRuinedChildhood1d 6h ago

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

VenomUK1d 4h ago

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

I would’ve focused on the creative.

anast9h ago

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

gold_drake1d 2h ago

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

anast9h 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.

Armaggedon22h ago

Not all games “look” current.

anast9h ago

Their games always look like the gen before it.

Armaggedon26m 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_drake3h ago

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

anast1h 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.
