Hello 2009

Mirror's Edge PC (January 13th)
Quake Live (very soon)
Bionic Commando (Febuary)
Trine (second quarter)
Street Fighter IV (Febuary)
Bioshock 2 (unspecified, most likely fourth quarter)
Starcraft II: Wings of Liberty (2009 confirmed, exact date unspecified, most likely third quarter)
Diablo III (ok, probably not, but one can dream)

In case you haven't figured it out yet, this is where you post upcoming 2009 releases you're intruiged by or looking foward to. Here's a partial list, if you're feeling short on inspiration; Part 1, Part 2.

I personally think 2009 might just be the best year in gaming since 1999.

Starcraft 2 looks amazing in action. I can't say I'm too excited of possibly paying 150 dollars to play through the series. Kind of a cheap move to those who don't give two shits about the fucking campaign, and just want to play the multiplayer.

Multiplayer still gets upgrades on the same level that brood war did, the only difference is that now there's two expansions instead of one, and they each have more content. I prefer it this way actually. If they didn't do that, then after SC2 comes out, it would be another ten years or so before we see another starcraft game, now at least we get new stuff up to 2011 or so. Makes sense, if they're going to spend so many years designing an engine like that, they should spend a little more time exploiting it. Supposedly they're doing the same with D3. They've confirmed that it will be the last diablo game, but also that it would likely have multiple expansions.

Posted by SuspicionVandit on Jan-01-2009 20:50:

so if you don't buy the expansions or you get 2/3, or if you get 3/3, you get split into different communities?

Posted by Cpt.Cocaine on Jan-01-2009 21:38:

Yes, but then who still plays starcraft without brood war, or diablo 2 without LOD? It doesn't split the player base in three, it just gradually transitions them from one to the other.

Besides, if you get the first one, and after over a year you still enjoy it enough to be playing it regularly in multiplayer, then what possible reason would you have for not getting the expansion?

Not at all excited about 09

The only game I can think of is aliens: colonial marines.

I can't wait for Starcraft II, personally.

Posted by Cpt.Cocaine on Jan-02-2009 20:14:

Indeed, that will be the highlight of the year.

HL2 Ep3

Posted by r5a on Jan-04-2009 09:33:

D3 is not going to be released anytime soon, at least what was playable at Blizzcon still needs a lot of work.

SC2 is fucking phenomenal. It is going to be everything you think it is and more. An RTS's guy wet dream.

Either then that, not really sure what else to be looking out for, hopefully something innovative. A patch that acutally works and is useful from EA/Dice for BF2 would be nice.

I thought Deus Ex 3 was cancelled, good to see it still on the radar.

When is the new Splinter Cell releasing again? I feel it was announced years ago but never saw the light of day, fearing it too bit the bullet.

I'm eagerly awaiting the PS3 version of SFIV. The Playstation controller is the ultimate for fighting games if you ask me.

"march"

As in, it was announced for march 2009 ages ago, and no news has come up since. My guess is it'll be delayed some more.

Posted by Tranceporter99 on Jan-04-2009 21:56:

I am looking forward to:

Splinter Cell would be awesome.
StarCraft 2

that is probably it.

Really? I thought it was supposed to hit sometime during Fall of 2007. The big deal was that it was exclusive to the 360, with no PS3 port in sight (though I think a PC version was planned), and because of the exclusivity towards a specific platform, Ubisoft promised a much better game. But I haven't heard anything since.

Maybe I'm entirely wrong, who knows.
