I can't wait for InFAMOUS and Prototype.

Skyyo6052d ago

and killzone!!

Also team ico could have a game next year. doubt it but could.

WANNA GET HIGH6052d ago

God Of War 3 is coming out i 2009.That alone makes it an AMAZING year for gaming.

Did any body even think that 2009 will be a bad year for gaming?!?!?!

lokiroo4206052d ago

Exactly towely who the f was saying 2009 was going to be bad?

INehalemEXI6052d ago (Edited 6052d ago )

They must be getting there info from Osama or someone else living in a cave?

Tomdc6052d ago

killzone, infamous, god of war 3, final fantasy 13, new ratchet and clank game, heavy rain, resident evil 5 are games i'm interested in.

out of them the ones i'll probably get are the new ratchet game, infamous (if it turns out good, which I'm sure it will) and final fantasy 13!

I can only get about 3 games per year cos I can't afford anything more =D

fishd6052d ago

GOW 3 + ICO3 = seks!=orgasm=Clash of the titans=2005 all over again when GOW 1 and SOTC clashed=best gaming year ever for me

Oh damit, can't wait to see gow 3 and ueda's new game in action

Aclay6052d ago

Microsoft sure hasn't said much about their 2009 lineup, but I already know that 2009 for the PS3 is going to be off the charts.

At E3 next year or at Sony's Playstation Day next year, I would like for Sony to at least confirm God of War 3's release date. I'm pretty sure the only reason why GOW3 wasn't on this list is because it hasn't been "officially confirmed" from Sony for 2009, but if it was, GOW3 would easily be in the Top 5.

Even if God of War 3 doesn't come out December 2009 like the Rumors/Sources have pointed too, it will probably come out March 2010 just a few months later because every GOW game has come out in March. But even if GOW 3 comes out March 2010, it wont be that bad because it will be just a few months away from the speculated Dec. 2009 release.

And I can't forget about Uncharted 2 either. Even though it hasn't been confirmed for 2009, it would be awesome if it came out late next year. Naughty Dog is a small team, so I'm not sure how fast they could pull of an Uncharted sequel, but I hope that they finish it in 2 years just in time for a Fall 2009 release.

fishd6052d ago

ND is more than enough capable of making a new uncharted game in 2 years,
What Naughty Dog did in the two years creating original Uncharted is simply mind blowing.
They started from nothing, a blank sheet,from scratch, no code or anything remained from the previous games,heck even for putting a simple text on the screen they needed to write some code first, They shifted over from their custom language to C++ too have the code be sharable with other Sony's teams.

They made the gigantic leap of moving from PS2 graphics ,where shading techniques almost didn't exist,they were making the game and learning about new technology(to them)such as shaders at the same time.meanwhile half of the world was so busy b!tching about PS3 is so hard to develop for.

They started from scratch,2 years later,they made Uncharted.now that they have an up and running engine they can easily make u2 in 2 years

deeznuts6052d ago

Which dumbarse thought that gaming would get worse each year the consoles matured? C'mon now.

callahan096052d ago

What about God Of War 3? That should've been at the top of the list!

The teaser in the God of War Chains of Olympus instruction manual said 2009, and I believe it.

Killzone not at number 1 is a shame.

Eiffel6052d ago

Even though the orignal failed the sequel looks decent.

0verdrive6052d ago

i agree killzone should be the hands down most anticipated game for 09, but this article didnt really list them in order of which they were excited about, to be fair. however, i think they should have made a bigger deal about killzone, its THE game that everyone cant stop talking about.

jmcorp6052d ago

that game is intense, I'ma get a PS3 for it sometime soon, that just how much hype surrounds that game, but yeah resi 5, and prototype look good to, i guess 2009 has soooo much in store, eh?

what is it with gaming, it always seems like every year gets better and better, or is it just me...

Fobuo6052d ago

^My most anticipated games of 09^

Eiffel6052d ago

Who exactly said it would look bad...?

I could definitely see a Bayonetta/Dante game. Imagine them initially battling each other before eventually teaming up to take on the big baddies. Now, imagine what their child(ren) would be like.

-Foxtrot123d ago (Edited 123d ago )

Bayonetta and Dante I could see but even then with how their lore differs it's a hard sell. For the others...I just can't see it at all.

I feel he's just saying whatever comes to him online

jwillj2k4123d ago

Same universe doesn’t mean same world or galaxy

SeTTriP123d ago

Bayonetta is a witch who enter contracts with demons for power and Dante is a demon, not really hard to connect.

They could even write in an alliance between the umbra witches and sparda.

-Foxtrot123d ago

On the surface yeah but the actual lore the two games have given us if you go into it...not so much.

micdagoat19123d ago

would be great if switch 2 upgrades resolution and frame rate on bayonetta 2

Why Guerrilla Games Shouldn't Abandon the Killzone Series

Hugely disappointingly, it seems that Guerrilla Games, developers of the Killzone and Horizon series, may be done with Killzone for good.

1 was fine, overhyped as a " halo" killer
2 was a graphical beast at the time, and felt heavy
3 was good a refinement of 2 but not much else. weird audio issues environment were to quiet
shadow fall was pretty but bland

OtterX235d ago (Edited 235d ago )

Shadowfall had great Multiplayer though. Too bad the campaign was meh at best. It did have the occasional great moment sprinkled in.

TheNamelessOne235d ago (Edited 235d ago )

I played through 2/3 multiple times. I played through the original once, but it felt pretty lukewarm for me. I couldn't be bothered to beat Shadow Fall. I got a couple hours in and just went "I'm done". Never touched it again. It was awesome on the tech side, being a launch title, but it didn't even match up to the first game when it came to actually having fun playing it.

Rude-ro235d ago

3 in 3d was an amazing experience to be had.
Although not many experienced it as intended for good reasons.

just_looken234d ago

You forgot the ai advancements on the playstation 2 killzone one you could have a full team of bots doing everything even playing the objective that was a big thing.

In killzone 2 they always flanked you and when available used the high ground.

Playing killzone 2 no hud 5.1 audio was/is awesome

MDTunkown235d ago

They should finish Horizon story first

darthv72235d ago

I dont mind if someone else takes up the mantle for the KZ franchise. We are several years removed from the first game. It certainly could use a remake to gauge interest in the rest of the series. I know it has its fans... Im thinking of how a proper reboot can rekindle that old dormant flame and bring in a new generation of fans in the process.

just_looken234d ago

You forgot killzone mercenaries on the ps vita but it was the worst selling sony game for awhile there.

Yui_Suzumiya234d ago

Yeah, a remake would be pretty awesome

anast235d ago

They should let it go or sell it. No use spending millions on this project.

LucasRuinedChildhood235d ago

Would like a new IP before Horizon 3. Just because games take so long to make these days.
