sam9s · 10-10-2008, 06:59 PM

I think now the time has come when we can start discuessing games coming in 2009. Same as the prequel thread Games 2008 was meant for.............

Listing is in no particular order, or importance......

1. THEY

Release Date : TBA 2009

Genre : FPS (sci-fi/Horror)

Platform : PC, PS3, 360

Discription ::

They is set in London four years in the future, the city ravaged by numerous terrorist attacks. Just as it looks like things can't get any worse, alien robots invade and kick up the mother of all ruckuses. Initially, it looks like the robots are the main threat. However, as you uncover more on these bizarre androids, it transpires they're actually being manipulated by the ethereal and mysterious Phantoms.
To combat this invasion, you're going to need one hell of a set of weapons. Rather than unlocking new guns as you progress from level to level, your weapons can be upgraded and changed through items you buy or find in the stages. You can customize guns to your hearts content -- it's possible to create a sniper rifle that fires grenades or even a pistol that freezes enemies. Customization can be taken even further, tuning the rate of fire, the spread of 'bullets' or, perhaps, the amount of ammo each weapon carries.

General Features

unique weapon system that makes you „love“ your weapons
upgradable weapon system (just like you upgrade n enhance your car in NFS ::MW)
mysterious science fiction background story
diversified enemies - thrilling and intelligent
heroes to identify with
heavy usage of physics
destructible environment relevant for gameplay
haunting single player mode

Call Of Duty:World At War

Call of Duty: World at War throws out the rulebook of war to transform WWII combat through a new enemy, new tactics and an uncensored experience of the climatic battles that gripped a generation. As U.S. Marines and Russian soldiers, players will employ new features like cooperative gameplay, and weapons such as the flamethrower in the most chaotic and cinematically intense experience to date.

General Features

Call of Duty 4 Technology – Built using the Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare engine, Call of Duty: World at War utilizes a bedrock of technology that delivers jaw-dropping visuals, while empowering players to employ elements like fire to affect the dynamics of the battlefield. Players that attempt to harness the power of new weapons, like the flamethrower, will find themselves capable of burning away environmental elements that give cover to a camouflaged enemy, leaving a charred battlefield – and their foes – in their wake
Coordinated Assault and Support – For the first time in the franchise, Call of Duty: World at War introduces co-op, bringing fresh meaning to the No One Fights Alone mantra. Call of Duty: World at War co-op features up to four-players online, or two-player local split-screen, allowing gamers to experience harrowing single-player missions together for greater camaraderie and tactical execution. The title also incorporates traditional multiplayer components such as challenges, rankings and online stats into the co-op campaign for deeper re-playability and advanced gameplay
New Theaters of Operation – Players fight as U.S. Marines and Russian soldiers facing enemies – some new to the Call of Duty franchise – that employ lethal new tactics and know no fear, no mercy, nor the rules of war. Epic conflicts are fought on multiple fronts, playing through the climactic battles of WWII in the grittiest, most chaotic and cinematically intense experience to date
Innovative Multiplayer – Multiplayer builds from the success of Call of Duty delivering a persistent online experience for more squad based interaction. New development with party systems allows an intimacy with squad based combat never before seen in Call of Duty. Combined infantry and vehicle missions add a new dimension to the online warfare and offers more PERK abilities

6. F.E.A.R II :: aka : Project Origin

Developer : Monolith

Release Date : Feb 2009

Genre : FPS (Action/Horror)

Platform : PC, xbox 360, PS3

Discription ::

Another most anticipate game of 2009 (and also my more fav). Original creators of paranormal shooter regain rights to franchise's name in wake of Activision Blizzard fire sale. Project Origin is now FEAR 2 : Project Origin.

The second heart-stopping shooter by Monolith (after F.E.A.R.) continues the spine-tingling supernatural suspense story of an escalating paranormal crisis that threatens to destroy a major American city. At the center of the calamity is the mysterious Alma, whose rage against those who wronged her triggered a chain of events that has spiraled completely out of control. Now that she has been loosed upon the world, the consequences will be unimaginable.

Playing the game you can see how Project Origin's open outdoor environments are set to change the dynamic of the combat. Many of you will remember that the original F.E.A.R. had its fair share of scary moments, and while they still occur in Project Origin, the urban environments have been incorporated to allow for a distinct change of action. The gunplay is frantic and violent, while the enemy AI looks like it has learnt even more about using flanking techniques, as well as taking cover. Enemies open car doors to use as cover, but thankfully you can use a sniper rifle to shoot off extremities that peek out around the edges. If you shoot a soldier in the leg, then he'll hobble over to stronger cover, or you can be safe and use a rocket launcher to blow the entire car up.

6. Left 4 Dead

Developer : Valve

Release Date : Nov 2008

Genre : TPS (Action/Horror)

Platform : PC, xbox 360

Discription ::

Setting out to do for co-op gaming what Counter-Strike did for team combat, Left 4 Dead is an ambitious survival horror game. Running on the Source engine, Left 4 Dead leaves four armed survivors of a world overrun with zombies, and they must fight their way out to escape the outbreak.
Designed for co-op play, the four players must work together to finish each stage of the game, lending each other artillery support, sharing ammo and rescuing each other when zombies are on top of them. In addition to the standard four players as humans, another four players can be amongst the masses of assaulting zombies, seeking to take down the other players. Zombie players might even find themselves become one of the four mutant "boss" zombies, who have unique powers that can be used to devastate, injure, tie up, mark and track, confuse, or even humiliate the gun-toting human survivors.

Yep Alan Wake does look pretty good, but strange may it seems dispite to be in developement for a long time, its so little which has been disclosed about the game. Except a brief discription I can not find anything that explicitely explain the story line. And all videos are just trailers no actual game play disclosed yet.........

mmmm I think the developers want to keep it a complete mystry, to give the users a good surprise when it finally comes out.

BTW got the game BIA:Hells Highway. Would give it a try today or tommorrow and would share my experience......

SunnyChahal · 11-10-2008, 04:10 PM

Brothers is Arms:Hell's Highway is dipsh!t.Play something like Frontlines Fuel of War.It's much much much better.Or..give Stalker Clear Sky a go.

quadroplex780 · 11-10-2008, 05:30 PM

Yes I too agree with sunny the game BIA:HH is carp sh!t very poor enemy and ally AI graphics look good only in cutscenes.

I just completed Frontlines Fuel of War & must tell you that it's very under-rated.The graphics are stunning & the action is really fast paced.I haven't tried out BIA personally nor do I have any intention to after playing BIA Road to Hill 30.It didn't really click with me like Rainbow Six Vegas did.

Back to the topic:
THEY looks freaking awesome.Need to watch some high-def trailers.

SunnyChahal · 11-10-2008, 10:21 PM

^^
I too am playing Frontlines right now and must say it is exactly as you described in your post.

Any any any ideas when Alan Wake is coming.I mean it's been under development for some time now but we've got nothing more than a few videos,screenies and so lil info about the game.What the hell is MS doing?The game is Vista only if I am right and they are so slow at work.When wil it be out?After Windows 7 release?
