starcraft said: I think even E3 might be too late in the year if they genuinly believe they can have it out in 2008.

I think that really depends on whether they've been working hard without the press attention or not. Rare is known for long delays, so I wouldn't put it past them that Banjo-Threeie gets bumped into 2009, in fact I highly suspect it might be. Microsoft has been saying for a little while now that Banjo will be seeing a 2008 release and they've been pretty solid with keeping release schedules lately. I say right now it's 50/50 going either way.

 

aspirin said: About the list : The release date for C&C 3: Kane's Wrath in the list may be wrong. It is announced for the 28th of March in Europe and the 10th of June in the US ( see Xbox360.IGN or amazon pre-order 1 2) Postal III may come later to PS3 according to Vince Desi (Running With Scissors CEO) 3.   P.S. good work with that list

Thanks for the updates. I'll make the necessary changes.

Command & Conquer 3: Kane's Wrath-June 10th 2008(I'm using the NA release dates for this list) 

Postal III will be taken off the list because the developer announced a Q2 2009 release date for 360 and PC with the additional possibility of it being ported to PS3 down the line.

 Why wait when you don't have to?

Saw Blood bowl on the list and i got excited and then i looked at the screen shot and it doesnt look like an TBS sports game like it should be, Games Workshop should really start developing there own games to avoid things like this happening.

Good list ,but most of it will be PC/360 and I am getting a PC sometime in the four 3-4 months ...

Insomniac dont make bad games No Resistance wont suck, but it will be dwarfed by Gears. To my knowledge Insomniac don't have a AAA shooter to their name ever. And they dont have a single AAA game this generation thus far. I think you are too hung up on this "AAA" label. Resistance recieved about 87% and Racthet 89% on Game rankings last I checked.

Agreed.  Who the hell made up the "rule" that AAA means 90% on a certain website, metacritic or whatever?  Did starcraft decide that?

AAA means huge A-list games, and connotes both good reviews and great sales and ability to generate mass market appeal for a system (making the difference between MS-level sales in the 30 million console range, and much higher Sony-level sales).

Example in use: PS3 has more AAA titles coming in 2008 than 360 does.  And we can say that right now, without reference to f***ing metacritic.  Period.

Out of the entire list I see...one must have game. Wheres the PS3 list at? I wanna line them up side by side and laugh for a little bit.

Haha and starcraft is going to be really disappointed this year. Its obvious that review sites had it out for Sony last year, but this year theres a way of Sony forgiveness. If 90+ is for the most elite of games, then only Bioshock and multiplatform games should have made it last year for the 360 . PS3 had Uncharted, and Wii had SSBB.

Either way those 360 fanboys still stuck in the 4 month span where the 360 acutally was the #1 console, that ended as soon as the new year

AAA's best definition is strictly about critical success on reviewers and gamers, so +90% is the best way we have to check whether is an AAA or not.

 Then there are games which even though have achieved 90%, there is a vast disappointment or not as good impressions from gamers, then removing the AAA status from those games. The best examples for these are: Halo 2, Oblivion, Metal Gear Solid 2.

Sales or mass market appeal are NOT relevant!! Anyone who says sales are significant is wrong and is trying to use that as an excuse to make their games be AAA.
