Forums - Gaming - Can 2008 rise above 2007's shadow?

I just realized that this year has been on incredible year for gamers. I honestly can't see 2008 ever living up to 2007, even with SSBB being moved to Feb 10.

Just a quick recap: (i'm certian i'm leaving alot out)

Wii

Super Paper Mario

Metriod Prime 3

Super Mario Galaxy

Resident Evil 4: Wii edition

Wario Ware: Smooth Moves

Trauma Center: New Blood

Rayman Ravin Rabbids 2 

 

Xbox 360

Halo 3

Bioshock [personally my GOTY, unless SMG 1ups it]

Mass Effect

Lost Planet: Extreme Condition

 

PLAYSTATION 3

Warhawk

Heveanly Sword

Ratchet and Clank: Tools of Destruction

Ninja Gaiden: Sigma

 

Nintendo DS

I'm not even going to name all the awesome on the DS, no need. But here's a highlight that says everything

Contra 4

 

Playstation Portable

Final Fantasy Tactics: The war of the Lions

Jeanne d'Arc

 

Multi Console

Rock Band

Guitar Hero III

Puzzle Quest

Assassin's Creed 

 

and also alot of great stuff across Virtual Console and XBLA.

 

Poor 2008, pwned with no chance.

Next year [360] is looking great to me. Halo Wars, Alan Wake, Fable 2, and when ever the heck gears 2 comes out. (to me gears of war > halo 3)



Around the Network

I think it easily will.

I mean PS3 is finally getting titles like MGS4 and *possibly* FFXIII in Japan, two heavy hitters that really would have benefitted it this year, and some other hyped games like KillZone 2 that may or may not be worth the actual hype, along with some new IPs like LittleBigPlanet.

Wii is also getting some heavy third party support, you've got the Square Enix triad of Dragon Quest Swords-FFCC: Crystal Bearers-Chocobo's Dungeon 3 for NA and probably parts of Europe with possibly more from them later on in the year (Seiken Densetsu 5 plz), Okami Wii, *possibly* Monster Hunter 3 in Japan, WiiWare offerings which we've only seen a fraction of, Nintendo games besides SSBB like Mario Kart Wii, Disaster: Day of Crisis, and some shoe-ins like Animal Crossing and Kirby, and that's just from what they've actually announced.

360 might not be getting another record breaker like Halo 3 but it is getting some noteworthy variety like Infinite Undiscovery, Kingdom Under Fire: Circle of Doom, Fable 2, possibly Bionic Commando in 08 (also on PS3/PC) not to mention rumored GeoW 2.

Honestly the consoles should just start hitting their stride in 2008.



Tag - "No trolling on my watch!"

Nah, 2008 will be way better IMHO:

 

 Grand Theft Auto IV

Gran Turismo 5

Super Smash Bros. Brawl

Mario Kart Wii

Street Fighter IV

Alan Wake

 Final Fantasy XIII

White Knight Story 

Spore

Killzone 2 

Fable 2 

LIttle Big Planet 

Splinter Cell: Conviction

Metal Gear Solid 4 

Wii Fit 

Starcraft II

Fallout 3 

Tekken 6

Silent Hill 5 

Resident Evil 5 (maybe) 

 



It will be much better for Wii... Smash bros, mario kart, Wii Fit, Animal crossing, Okami, Disaster day of crisis, Final fantasy CC, King's Story, No more heroes, etc etc etc =)
