2010 way too crowded

Just noticed that Alpha Protocol is the latest game that was initially gonna release October 6th, then pushed back to the 27th now i'ts pushed back to an unknown date in 2010.

seriously...

2010 may be a wonderful for gamers but that year will be one terrible business plan for them.

seriously...

1. God of War 3
2. Mario Galaxy 2
3. Metroid : Other M
4. Mass Effect 2
5. Heavy Rain: Origami Killer
6. MAG
7. Bioshock 2
8. White Knight Chronicles
9. Halo Reach
10. Final Fantasy 13
11. Metal Gear Solid : Peace Walker
12. Pokermon Soul Silver/HeartGold
13. StarCraft 2
14. new WOW Cataclysm
15. Star Wars Old Republic
16. Final Fantasy 14
17. DC Universe
18. The Agency

i'm not writing all of these out...

point is, ther are way too many possible AA-AAA titles to be jam.

and i mean this on all gaming platforms, whether you only a PC, a DS, a Wii or PS3/360.

I'm seriously starting to think that 2010 will see way too many titles fall into 2011. Also problem is many of those titles people have been waiting for - for years! I'm talking final Fantasy 13, Gran Turismo 5, God of War 3, Heavy Rain: Origami Killer, Mass Effect 2, Star Craft 2, etc.

Wii owners have clamoring for a new flagship game, and they're set for 3 (Mario Galaxy 2, Metroid: Other M, Zelda Wii).

360 owners have their steller exclusives like Halo Reach, and console exclusives like Mass Effect 2, Splinter Cell and the long awaited Alan Wake.

I think 2010 is gonna either be the sink or swim time for these game developers, and from my point of view we WILL see more delays in Q1 2010, there are way too many big named games scheduled for that time. (God of War 3, Bioshock 2, Dante's Inferno is anticipated, possibly Gran Turismo 5) plus toss in MAG, Heavy Rain and White Knight, Bayonetta and the others?

no way.

If they do stick to their release dates, and i can pretty much guarantee that they won't, they'll have to rely on the slow-burn. too many highly anticipated games and too many of them are very well executed.

Anyone elses thoughts out there?

It's just like any other year, people just announced the games sooner.

Look on the bright side: It makes up for 2009.:P

Wow, you missed so many AA+ games.

Well whats there to do? Oh I know, the devs could always soften up the burden by pushing them further back. I'm sure we can all wait ANOTHER year for starcraft 2, GT5 and FF13. :P

I like having a lot to choose from personally.

well in 07/08 2009 was looking overcrowded. I mean we never would have imagine htat everything would have gotten pushed back, so anything can happen i think

I agree :cry:. I don't know how I'm going to afford all of the games I want. I mean your list was good but there is still another half that you didn't mention. It's going to be a bad year for everyone's wallets.

get a job or start selling drugs man. Having to waitt for 2 dates to obtain the best games on the market and not being able to control what you get sucks.

2010 is going to have some big titles, thats for sure.

Too many games got delayed and though we as gamers will benefit this is going to be a nasty brawl for developers.

2010 good year for all gamerskyacat

I just realized a fault in the slow-burn idea.

the idea that a game will still sell well over a course of time.

what owuld completely undercut the publishers and developers would be the used game market. with money tight - gamers by the masses (i tend to buy my games new especially from developers i wanna support, your money truly is your vote of support when you buy new) - will not buy it new but rather get it used.

I will definently be getting:

PS3:

1. God of War 3
2. Heavy Rain: Origami Killer
3. Gran Turismo 5
4. Final Fantasy 13
5. Castlevania : Lords of Shadow
6. MAG
7. Bioshock 2: Sea of Dreams
8. White Knight Chronicles
9. Resistance 3 (assume it is coming in 2010 based on the pattern of release by Insomniac)
10. Agent (apparently coming in 2010 from an article i read in the latest interview of its progress, at least its how i interpret it)
11. Fallout : New Vegas
12. ModNation Racers
13. Enslaved (new game being done by Ninja Theory slated for 2010, first showed off in GameInformer)

PSP Go:

1. Metal Gear Solid : Peace Walker
2. Valkyria Chronicles 2
3. Kingdom Hearts : Birth By Sleep
4. Persona 3

Nintendo DS Lite:

1. Pokemon Soul Silver
2. Infinite Space

Xbox 360:

1. Mass Effect 2 (if this gets announced for PS3 and only if it includes Mass Effect 1, i'll hold off wait for PS3 version).
2. Gears of War 3 (based on pattern of release)

Maybe List:

1. Dante's Inferno
2. Alpha Protocol
3. L.A. Noire
4. Homefront
5. Edge of Twilight
6. Star Ocear 4: The Last Hope International
7. Yakuza 3 (American release if it makes it that year).

Game i know am getting in 2010 is BFBC2. besides that idk. right now

PSP Go:

1. Persona 3

Do we know for sure that P3 Portable is getting a release outside of Japan? I'd love to be able to play that game on my PSP. I'm disappointed that the Persona remake doesn't have an EU release date yet either

theyre trying to miss the crowded holiday season this year, which due to all the delays isnt so crowded so more. But now they'll be coming in the crowded 2010, i can see even more delays.Nidget
