Now that 2007 is well behind, it's time to look at the top games scheduled for release in 2008. In putting a list together of the 10 most anticipated games for this year, Tom's Games (of Tom's Hardware) looked at each title's pedigree, including the developer talent and track record as well as previous titles if the game is a sequel. Of course, hype played a big factor - does the game have a playable demo? Has it been shown at conventions and trade shows? Does it look polished enough for release this year. Tom's Games also examined the platforms and sales potential for each title. For example, title A may be released on three or four platforms and take in more sales, while title B may only be released on one platform but if it dominates that particular platform, then it may rank higher on the list; then again, depending on the platform, title B may not. Here's a quick look at 10 top shelf titles scheduled to launch this year.
Fallout 3 game designer Bruce Nesmith explains that the upcoming remaster should revise the game's gunplay to be more modern.
Give us FO3 with all the dlc remastered like ESO. Load times faster, quality of life improvements, gun play improvements
I believe it shouldn't just be graphical they should make improvements where they can to make the game better. A simple face lift isn't what's needed
Still my favorite one. I remember getting a digital copy of FO3 when I got FO4(XBO). It was nice to finally play a stable version of the game. Then when I got a Series S it was an even better expierence. Quick resume and FPS boost made it feel like a whole new game. Updated gunplay would be very welcome though. One of the few things FO4 did better.
The rumoured Fallout 3 Remaster is still in development, but it will be years until fans get to play it on new platforms.
Fairly certain we all know that New Vegas isn't getting anything because it's not a Bethesda developed game.
***MS owns both devs, if they want it, a 3rd party will make it. ***
I think the issue is that it's not a Bethesda developed game, not that MS owns both. This is more about Todd.
Yep ... Todd doesn't like getting bettered within his own IP scope.
I still think of the Elder Scrolls spin-off Obsidian pitched similar to New Vegas, but Todd rejected.
Replayed NV more than FO3 ... so I appreciate the FO3 remaster more.
For NV, I'd much prefer a sequel or a spinoff from Obsidian.
It's crazy New Vegas wasn't worked on first to launch alongside Fallout Season 2.
They could have added all the cut content they had planned but didn't have enough development time to add, possibly even expand on it a little more. For example, have the Vegas strip as one big hub over being chopped into smaller sections we have to keep loading into.
The only Fallout game I’ve played, PS3 had to keep stopping every few minutes to save. Next thing I knew the credits were rolling and I never did any side quest. I never replayed the game because of all the bugs the game had.
I've played Fallout 3 more than any game. I lost count many years ago of how many times I finished it. It was my first Platinum trophy. But yeah, it was buggy on PS3 at launch before it got properly patched.
All of the Super Smash Bros. games are incredible, but which one stands as the mightiest of them all and has the best modes?
To me smash brows Melee is my all time favorite. I can't tell you how many hours I played that game between friends and family. When I was a kid, my parents couldn't afford a gaming console so I had to go somewhere that had an arcade like setup with the only difference being instead of arcade cabinets, they had big screen crt TV's and gaming consoles setup. I would go with my friends on special occasions after school or with my family on the weekends.
I would meet and make new friends at that place as we were all gamers and we also brought our game boys and would trade pokemon. I don't think those places exist these days but back then, it was easy to meet like-minded people and have fun for hours.
Well, I’ll add my extremely subjective ranking too. I won’t include the 3DS version as I don’t owned it. I did play it for a few minutes though.
5. Brawl.
4. N64 Smash
3. Ultimate
2. Wiiu Smash
1. Melee
well everyone is entitled to their own top 10 but mgs4 at number 9 sorta bothers me,but like i said everyone is entitled to their own decision. However when he says downside for mgs4 being since its a ps3 exclusive its subject to a narrow audience. MGS4 will more than likely outsell half of those games on the list. Ps3 is at 10 million usurs thats no longer a narrow audience plus by the end of the yr that number is expected to double. Why is everyone trying to look the other way at MGS4 jst because its exclusive to ps3. I know its jealousy but common. Not kojima's fault that 360 wasnt suitable for his vision geez. I am a playstation fan who was almost swayed to the competition by the excellent titles from last yr. bioshock, mass effect, saints row, dead rising it was like every month there was a game to play while my ps3 was almost rotting. I remember when callin all cars was the hot item on ps3 sad sad times. But i held on tight for the light at the end of the tunnel was worth all that waiting. The chance to see mgs4. If mgs4 had come to 360 i would have probably sold my ps3 and be regretting it now
StarCraft II at number 1?
LMAO! you barely hear about that game (thats because not alot of people give a damn)
and starwars the force unleashed shouldnt be near that list, the person who made this is going by his own personal likings rather than going with the facts.....and MGS4 at number 9 bothers me too, its should ATLEAST be in the top 3, almost everyone i know who bought a ps3 bought it because of MGS4
LittleBigPlanet, KZ2, and Resistance 2 should have been there
LBP is a new genre!
Translation: Tom is an XBOX owner
looks alot like a PC gamers list more than a 2008 list despite having a couple of console games...
