Most Anticipated Game for 2008?

[ATB]

Right now I'm looking at the handhelds for my most anticipated game.  I consider Advance Wars Dual Strike the best TBS game I've ever played so I'm keenly awaiting the release of Advance Wars: Days of Ruin.

Good news is it's releasing in January! 

[Arclight]

Is there a list somewhere of 2008 360 games?

[wonderpug]

Advance Wars: Days of Ruin looks incredible, and since I can't think of any other 2008 titles, it gets my vote as well!

[Starshifter]

Star Wars Knights of the Old Republic 3 (s-i-n-g-l-e p-l-a-y-e-r)

Wishful thinking.

[TheMissingLink]

Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots & Super Smash Bros Brawl.

[CeeKay]

Far Cry 2, S.T.A.L.K.E.R.: Clear Sky and I'm guessing the next Rainbow Six game.

[wonderpug]

Is Dragon Quest IX still expected in 2008?

Thought of a few others.  This is my top 5 anticipation list for 2008, pretty much in order of eagerness to play:

Fallout 3
Advance Wars: Days of Ruin
Grand Theft Auto IV
Mercenaries 2
Penny Arcade Adventures

[StitchJones]

GTA IV
Final Fantasy 13
Lost Odyssey
Warhammer Online
Too Human
Infinite Undiscovery
The Last Remnant

Notice a theme?  Yes I'm an RPG nut

[Ridah]

Resident Evil 5, if it's coming out in 2008... Which I see is not so Ninja Gaiden 2.

[metallicorphan]

hmm,grand theft auto 4

metal gear solid 4

alan wake

silent hill 5/and origins or zero for PSP

alone in the dark whatever they are up to

mass effect 2...okay,so i am dreaming,LOL

[Farscry]

Dragon Quest IX canNOT arrive soon enough for me. My most wanted upcoming title, period. Shortly behind that are my next most anticipated titles, all on the DS:

Dragon Quest IV
Dragon Quest VI
Final Fantasy IV remake
Etrian Odyssey 2 (not announced for the North American market yet, but I can hope!)

I'm such a Dragon Quest slut.

Other titles that interest me but aren't quite as anticipated are:

Resident Evil 5
GTA IV
Lost Odyssey
the new Advance Wars title on the DS.

[Caine]

gta 4
mercs 2
sc5
far cry 2
stalker expansion
mgs 4

[kronovan]

The game I'm looking forward to the most:
Super Smash Bros Brawl
Followed closely by:
Dragon Quest IX
Fallout 3

[metallicorphan]

i just found out that silent hill origins is due out...around about now

so,damn...thats another game i have to get this month

but thats a game crossed off my 2008 list

[Devil]

NHL '09
MLB Power Pro '09 (if it comes out)

[EddieA]

Dragon Quest IX should come out in Japan in 2008, but I don't think there's any chance of a US release until 2009  

[Eduardo X]

Spore.

[Thin_J]

In all reality I've forgotten what exactly does release next year.

I'm most looking forward to playing all the games I'm buying right now but won't finish because more stuff keeps coming out :|

[EngineNo9]

I'm not sure what would be my most anticipated title and I don't even know the full list, but here's a few I'm looking forward to: 

Grand Theft Auto IV
Mercenaries 2
Just Cause 2
Alan Wake
Too Human
Viking: Battle for Asgard
Far Cry 2

[Ridah]

Making a list is useless, pick one like the title instructs! 

[Turtle]

Killzone 2
Borderlands
Stalker Clear Sky
Final Fantasy games
MGS4 (if only because I want answers damnit)
Silent Hill 5

Anything with good co-op.  Co-op is my big next gen feature for 2008.  By good co-op, I mean co-op though a campaign, story missions, or at at least randomized AI opponents, preferably using more tactics and working together than just run and gun.  This is why sight unseen, borderlands is a day 1 buy for me.  The description of the co-op mission the journalists played in GI sounds amazing.

Anyone else hoping for some good turn based games in 2008?  I notice our lists are populated by primarily action or real-time games.  These days, I don't have as much time to play those games, so a turn based game that I can step away from easily suits me.

[JayDee]

NHL 09

[Lee]

Elder Scrolls V (or is it 6 now?) This time I hear Bethesda is going to make a game so good, there won't be any modding required.

[Larraque]

I'm going to have to go with My Horse and Me for the Nintendo Wii. Because it rhymes.

[Gratch]

There's not a ton of 2008 titles that interest me right now.  I guess my most anticipated is Final Fantasy Tactics Advance 2.

[CeeKay]

Elder Scrolls V (or is it 6 now?) This time I hear Bethesda is going to make a game so good, there won't be any modding required.

it'll be 5 in the main series, but somehow I don't see it being a 2008 game....

[Zarkon]

The Conan MMO
Warhammer Online
GTA 4
Mercenaries 2
MGS 4
Spore
Fallout 3

Weren't they saying (maybe it was Kathode) that they were going to get a couple of games out of the current engine? Whatever the case, an Oblivion II without the scaling would make me extremely happy.

I'm more thinking about Fallout 3 supposedly being a 2008 game and Bethesda not wanting to put 2 major releases up against each other.

[Larraque]

Oblivion only takes ~ 100 hours to play. What am I going to do the other 8,660 hours of the year!!!

new character builds?

[JuniorDan]

GRAND THEFT AUTO IV
and 2 Days 2 Vegas is right on its heels.

edit: Mercenaries 2

[coopasonic]

Fallout 3
Advance Wars: Days of Ruin
Grand Theft Auto IV
Mercenaries 2
Penny Arcade Adventures

This list is good. I think I shall just use this one. Though Just Cause might replace something in there if there is such a game coming.

As for one most anticipated... GTA4, I think

[gellar]

I guess it's Fallout 3 or GTA IV, but I'm not that amped over those yet.

gellar

OKAY,OKAY...its between GTA4 and MGS4..and because i feel that GTA4 will last longer for me,i choose that one

[HankRaptor]

GTA 4
Mercenaries 2
The Pickle Maker King (wii)

[Farscry]

Dragon Quest IX should come out in Japan in 2008, but I don't think there's any chance of a US release until 2009  

Aw, man, you're killin' me here!

[CeeKay]

but that would require not ignoring ATB, so no.


I'm debating about Splinter Cell Conviction, but right now it's on my list.
