What big games are coming before christmas?

Noggin1980 · 07-10-2009, 2:04 PM

Been asked to make a bit of a christmas list and I'm struggling to find a good list of release dates. gameplay has some titles releaseing in a few weeks that I'm positive arn't this year.

So I've got these 2 so far on my list.
Call of duty - Modern Warfare 2 - FPS
Dragon Age - RPG

what else is coming? any good RTS? anything else to be excited about and make good use of a new pc?

Cheers

+
Diablo 3
Left 4 Dead 2
Lost Planet 2

Most of the other titles got pushed back to the beginning of next year, either because they want to optimise themselves for DX11 or because they don't want to go head to head with COD:MW2... depending on who you believe.

thanks, thats a shame,

diablo 3 isn't this year for sure, in fact I'm pretty sure it's not even next year.

Ahh yeah, it's just Shopto being optimistic again on that front.

Borderlands sounded good, but after watching videos it looks too cartoony and there's no impact on things when you shoot them... so it doesn't feel satisfying. So I canceled my pre-order for that.

for me

OFP2
COD:MW2
PES2010
FM2010
DIRT 2 (DX11)

As booyaka mentioned it has to be dirt2, modern warfare 2 and pes 2010.

Noggin1980 · 07-10-2009, 4:42 PM

Thanks all, little disapoiting overall, hopefully dirt2 will come with my new pc since it will have 5870 in it unless something happens to change that before the 22nd of october.

You should get dirt 2 as it comes with 5870s and as you're actually buying a retail 5870 as opposed to getting a pre-built.

Be sure to make sure they give you the downlaod code/disc.

FM2010

Doesn't look like there is much happening this xmas.

jonneymendoza · 08-10-2009, 9:23 PM

I have to say it's a bit disappointing - many of the 'big' games this year have slipped from pre-Christmas into next year. S.T.A.L.K.E.R: Call of Pripyat, Assassin's Creed 2 (PC version), Aliens v Predator 3, Bioshock 2, Dead Rising 2, Singularity - all are now Q2 2010

Things aren't much better on the console side either IMHO - there just seems to be a lack of AAA games that have made it time for this year. That is fairly poor

Still I still have a few games unplayed as of yet - Resident Evil 5 and Cryostasis: Sleep of Reason plus I might give Crysis another play if I end up getting a new PC this year.

It's not all bad this Xmas

Ghostbusters
Dragon Age:Origins
Startrek DAC
Serious Sam HD

sux that Starcraft 2 has been pushed to next year
