I'm one of the very very first pc gamerz, as a kid we had doom,doom2,final doom,quake,half life,counter-strike,soldier of fortune,starcraft,warcraft,quake2,duke nukem, x-wing,tie figher,x-wing vs tie fighter, dark forces,dark forces 2.....

The gaming kinda took a drop, Yes many titles have came out and nailed the charts to be called the best games of all time like

call of duty 1 and 2

 doom3

half life 2

splinter cell series

gta series

battlefield series

and so on....

I've been looking and theyre all spreaded out in years where in 07-08 so many titles.. I think I personally counted 40 titles I want to actually play. The next gen gaming is just completely awesome how gaming dev's want to make the perfect game and I cant wait. Some titles are...

Crysis (of course no brainer)

Far cry 2 (yes this game is coming, look at the post in this forum on why to be a pc gamer)

MOH Airborne

Metal gear solid 4 (not pc but still games in general)

Assassin Creed

Prince of Persia is coming out with an 4th installment! POP4 this will be awesome!

Project IM (interstellar Marines, this games trailer was completely amazing!)

UT3

Quake Wars ET

DOOM Wars ET : John Carmack announced this about 2 weeks ago, wanting to make all of the id games being in some type of ET battlefield would be awesome. My favorite game series of all time.

HL2 Ep2 : This is taking so long cuz theyre making the physics a lot better! I saw the pics and I couldnt believe it was hl2

Kane and Lynch

Call of duty 5... yup, IW already announced they are gonna do a 5th installment.

Call of duty 4( This and bioshock,crysis, and Project Im are on my most wanted list!)

Battlefield bad company

star wars battlefront 3

battlefield 3 (With BC using the frostbite engine, EA having usage of the crysis engine I dont see how there wouldnt be a new bf game for the series.)

Brothers In Arms HH (amazing series, one problem im spoiled with the new technology.) I had a hard time adapting to the current gen engines.

Madden 08 or Nlf 2k8.. hopefully EA will get their sh it together and actually compete instead of knowing they wona nd ripping ppl off.

NCAA 08 FB... supposely the stadiums are all done now!

Lost Planet. I dunno why but I really would love to play this game.

Dead rising 2. I never had the pleasure to actually beat this game, It's hard to aim in that game with the bosses being really lol hard. It's still a great game.

Resident Evil 5 (huge resident evil fan) (I would love to see 1 - 3 remade on the xbox 360 or pc or ps3)

Gears of war ( not quite the halo killer but im excited to play this on the pc )

Halo 2.. Honestly I couldnt get past the 5th level.. no I didnt suck. it was so hard to actually stay interested with a console controller.

Counter-strike 3. Theyre making another counterstrike but for the 360 and this means another condition zero somewhat game will come.

GTA 4... I loved 1,2,3,vc and this should be amazing running on the hl2 engine.

Prey 2. Prey sold 2 mill, I loved the game. I loved the graphics and the feel but having lifeform weapons was kool and strange at the sametime.

Starcraft 2.. The dev's kept giving hints like " I wanna see SC to have  sequel before a 10 year mark", Even still.. SC is still aamzing, sadly I dont get to play anymore but it was god like in 99-02 for me

Alone in the dark 5

Devil May cry 4

Halo 3.. Not a big fan but most of the 360 population will buy.

Spinter cell end war or something like that.. I have no idea but I think its splinter cell 5 or 6.

They re so many titles coming out that I actually listed that im interested in. I honestly think this could be the biggest the biggest 1-3 years of gaming ever! I swear when doom3,half life 2,and halo 2 came out many dev's held back to use these engines.

The way gaming is going now, you wont find it drop at all...ever....

 

From now on gaming will only get better and better until we have virtual reality and people live in their games....isnt it obvious?

you havn't heard about it because its not true. gta4 is using its own graphics engine that they developed for the game 'Rockstar presents: table tennis" on x360.  looks way better than source engine too.

Sorry, but if those were your first pc games, you are definitely *not* among the 'very very first pc gamerz'. My first computer with games was a Commodore 64 and even I wasn't among the 'very very first'. You're just an older gamer, but older doesn't mean first.

MisfitsDanzing

link? i've heard no announcement on doom wars - carmack (or hollenshead?) said it's a future possibility, but me sleeping with jessica alba is a future possibility, that doesn't mean it's happening

Call of duty 5... yup, IW already announced they are gonna do a 5th installment.MisfitsDanzing

treyarch developed game for 360, not pc

Dead rising 2. I never had the pleasure to actually beat this game, It's hard to aim in that game with the bosses being really lol hard. It's still a great game.

Resident Evil 5 (huge resident evil fan) (I would love to see 1 - 3 remade on the xbox 360 or pc or ps3)MisfitsDanzing

anything at all to suggest these are pc games?

Counter-strike 3. Theyre making another counterstrike but for the 360 and this means another condition zero somewhat game will come. MisfitsDanzing

while this is probably true (because popular games get sequels), it's wild speculation on your part - especially about the 360 stuff... unless you have a link (from a reliable source)

GTA 4... I loved 1,2,3,vc and this should be amazing running on the hl2 engine. MisfitsDanzing

rage does sound very similar to source, doesn't it? i can see how you could mix the two up...

Spinter cell end war or something like that.. I have no idea but I think its splinter cell 5 or 6. MisfitsDanzing

endwar is a new tom clancy franchise game, an rts based in a fictional world war 3 - there is nothing to prove it has any affiliation with splinter cell 5, or that it's even a pc game - unless someone can correct me, only consoles have been mentioned so far

all this pedantry aside though, you're right - this is one of the biggest gaming years for pc ever - bioshock, hellgate... loads of awesome coming our way

all this pedantry aside though, you're right - this is one of the biggest gaming years for pc ever - bioshock, hellgate... loads of awesome coming our way

 Look at GtA 4.. the water effects,the way the people look and how they talk look just like half life 2 People. The designs of buildings and the way the walls look  just like half life 2.

Splinter Cell is coming out with another game man.. Im not sure what the name is but 5 is coming which I think is way lol kinda to fast.

The DOOM ET is in the games for windows mag, no link.

treyarch??? I know they did. But it doesnt hurt the fact that IW did cod1 ,ou and cod2. Also, they did cod4 well are doing cod4 at the moment. Honestly, COD3 was garbage and the worst in the installment IMO man. 1 and 2 was so much better.

I have 3 friends that work at gamespot, I knew about the elite before most of the people doin the rumors.. Also, counter-strike was a massive success on the xbox platform. Turtle rock studios still designs games and maps for valve like the map tides which was an xbox live cs map.

I know some werent on pc but very few, im just stating the fact that this could be the biggest year of gaming ever. I know I wasnt the first person to play pong and etc. But I was one of the very first to play FPS like doom and wolf3d, Yeah im an older gamer and it's awesome to see the trend from doom(PC)-sega,nes,snes,playstation,N64,Dreamcast,Ps2,xbox, and now the ps3 and 360.

Ohh someone said its just gonna get better and better? this isnt true. Look at the movies, movies are barely making their own ideas now. Everything is thought up now, u have so many prequels,sequels and games going to movies now. Theyre atleast 10-20 games going to the big screen. Now, The graphics will always get better and better and of course better. Just the games, the ideas behind them are just gonna plain a$$ rock!

 DOOM

Half Life

Halo

MGS

really to me had the best story lines, now with these games coming out like project im.. and cod4 actually being WW3 its gonna something new.

I'm not here to argue or anything, I just didn't get the movie part. 'Course there are lots of good and might I say great movies on the horizon - or just released. www.apple.com/trailers

You could've kept that part out.

Otherwise, I'm all with you and hope that you are right! I'm all set on ripping them all apart one by one!

i guess some individual elements may look vaguely similar, but no one should be confusing rage with source even without a straight side-by-side (do that and it is obvious how different they are)

The DOOM ET is in the games for windows mag, no link. MisfitsDanzing

the internet is a pretty big place, and it tends to stay pretty up to date - especially compared with those once a month publications, if it's not online - it's not real news... it's a future possibility, find me an official announcement and i'll send you lots of money (i won't really)

Are you sure? GTA has always had garbage engines and the game looks so much like HL2. The lighting, the mood so many things felt like I was watching it. ANd in the beginning of the trailer it said havok.. havok is the engine that hl2 uses like 40-50 games use now. Most companies dont build their own engines, look at prey using doom's engine, u know... hl2 engine wasnt even built from the ground? It was a modded quake 3 engine they built off of. And ill try to find the link for that as well. Remember john carmack and the owner of valve were together with wolf and doom and quake... why do u think hl uses the quake 2 engine? So many games in current gen uses the quake 3 engine.

IM not trying to pick a fight or anything but most companies usually use a modded engine that Id software or soon to be crytek makes. Wait a tick! John Carmack just won many awards and I know he just wont one this year for the man who makes the engines for gamers. Look at the beginning of games guys it tells u what they use. Like I know call of duty uses the id software engines which I personally think is awesome. John Carmack is god for gaming, he made it possible for fps. The way he took pics well slide shows of a movement of a person using a shotgun then taking a literally childs toy is amazing for 91. I honestly hope GTA 4 is a major hit guys.. dont get me wrong I cant wait to play that game, sucks i have to play it on the 360 :(

Wow... you couldn't be any more mis-informed, it would seem that you base your knowledge off of your own assumptions quite a bit. First off Half-Life 2 uses the SOURCE Engine (which took 3-4 years on it's own to make before the gameplay mechanics) not the Havok Engine. Second the Havok Engine is a Physics Engine which handles the physics throughout the game, it's not actually a whole game engine itself, it's more of an engine addon so to speak for developers to add to their engine to cut down on developement time, also the fact that the Havok team has done a pretty good job with physics that would be hard to compete with.

 

It's true a alot of game developers license an engine from other developers becuase it's usually cheaper and much faster, but there are much more developers that make their own engine other than ID and Crytek which you make it sound out to be. To Stay on topic though, yes there are many great games coming this year and the next(let's hope it stays that way) so its a good time to be a gamer. I'm sure GTA IV will make its way to the PC and I will gladly wait if I must rather than buy a 360.

Agreed. It does however seem like a great year for PC gaming, with many promising titles in the works.

Yeah, there are so many games, too little time, that's the only problem I see. The Fact that UT3, Quake Wars, Frontlines:Fuel of War, Team Fortress(All being Multiplayer based) are all coming out within a short period of time is kind of a bummer, as it would be nice to spread them out (of course this is in an ideal world). Like I said, too many games and too little time.

I'm one of the very very first pc gamerz

*blah blah blah*

Prince of Persia is coming out with an 4th installment! POP4 this will be awesome!

MisfitsDanzing

The new PoP game would technically be PoP 7, not PoP 4. The first three came out in the early 90's...which you should have already known, being one of 'the very very first gamerz'.

Even so, this year looks great (which sucks, as it is my final year of highschool - ie. no time to play games). However, it probably doesn't beat 1998.Â
