We all know games like GTA 4 and R6V 2 are gonna be good but they are not innovative because we have either seen or played a game like it but every year that bioshock type game comes along and suprises the gaming world. I think both the born conspiracy and prototype are my picks. the hand to hand combat system is like nothing I have ever seen, and prototype's shape shifting abilities look pretty inventive.

I don't think GTA4 or RSV2 is gonna be good, but that's MHO. (my honest opinion)

I think GTA IV will be pretty innovative, and anyone that doesn't respect that opinion has no knowledge of GTAIV and never reads any previews.

GTA4 AND RSV2 will both rock epsecially RSV2, and mass effect was released last year. Protoype and fable look very innovative.

Practically all Wii games! :P

If you mean only for the 360 then, probably Star Wars the Force Unleashed looks fun and innovative.

I have a feeling GTA IV will, or Fable 2.

Both look great.

But for PC I think Spore wins as most innovative hands down.

I'd have to say GTAIV, thus far. If you see the screens or watch the trailers, you can see Rockstar's busted their asses to put detail into every little thing. And gameplay wise is a huge overhaul from the past titles. And if no one wants to agree, I'd say Fable 2, and granted that the first one was awesome, given the 360's better power, Lionhead Studios really have no reason for any cutbacks like it did with the original.

Hands down the most innovative game is going to be APB...I am super excited about this game. You can check it out here: http://xbox360.ign.com/articles/854/854140p1.html

This game looks awesome.

I would have to say Fable 2 is looking damn innovating. Army of Two is possible for the coop aspect. It looks like you can do some pretty cool things.

And I do think GTAIV will have some type of innovation. All GTA games do.

Mirror's Edge, no question...Twiztid-Maddox

That's a good pick, too. I'm really looking foward to more updates in the future. The release date is slated for 2008. Yipee.

have you seen alone in the dark's tech demo!?!? THAT is innovative. it looks so good.

also, the new bourne game coming out looks fairly innovative, just by looking at it's awesome hand to hand combat it's got going for it.

and i am also excited to see GTAIV's new completely rebuilt features. i'm betting it'll be fairly innovative compared to the old GTAs on Xbox.

I would have to go with Too Human. That's gonna be an incredibly innovative ga,e. Ppl might put it down and not want to look at it, but the ones looking forward to it (Like me ) know it's gonna be AWESOME and innovative. they're taking ALOT of risks but I know it'll come out good.

Most likely GTA IV. Maybe Ninja Gaiden 2 will have some new stuff we havent seen before, or perhaps Gears 2 will innovate just as much as Gears 1 did.

DEFINITELY

the interaction you have with your inventory is insane, instead of having an axe and wondering "why cant i just break down the **** door" you can just... well, break down the **** door.

I think it's pretty funny how many people have listed GTA IV as being a game that's going to be the most innovative of 2008. I'm going to have to side with the original poster and mentioned that GTA IV is more likely to be extremely refined rather than innovative. Same with a lot of games coming out this year. Polish and refinement aren't a bad thing, but they're not innovative.

I think something like LucasArts 'Fracture' sounds extremely innovative, in concept at least. That game could take environmental interaction into completely new territory for first person shooters. Might be worth taking a look at the previews. Whether it will actually work or not is another story but on paper the idea looks fascinating.
