Yep, the title is a broad sweeping question about next year's gaming.
I think 2009 has been a good year for games in general and I'm just wondering what people are looking forward to in gaming next year? There's been a few late 2009 games delayed until Christmas 2 early in the year which I think have potential and we already know of some that are going to be released later in the year.
Maybe there's some unannounced sequels that like to get a release next year?
The first thing for me in 2010 is that I'm just not going to buy as many games as I have done in the past, it's quite clear if people check my Trophies/Achievements that I start loads of games but then move on to other games before finishing them so I have shelf of half played games which I really want to work through.
I've been pretty good the last of months with it but bought Borderlands [360] & Fallout 3: Game of the Year Edition [360] as they were both ?17 and I didn't want to miss them.
The game I'm most looking forward to in 2010 is possibly Crackdown 2 as I was such a big fan of the first game. As I loved so much though I find that I'm really nervous about the second game as I'd hate for them to get it wrong.
It certainly looks promising though so I'm feeling positive about it at the moment. I'm loving the things that I'd describe as the new "toys" in the game which will make messing around with stuff really good fun.
I'm usually a big fan of driving games and I think 2009 was a good year for them with the latest really good one being Forza 3 which I've enjoyed though I do feel that they've simplified things a little more than I would like. It's probably the best driving game of the year though and definitely worth playing.
I do think that there is a lot more that can be done with driving games this generation though so I'm half betting on Gran Turismo 5 doing some of that after reading hands on reports with recent builds.
Not long ago it was finally given an official release date of March 2010 (Japan) which can't come quickly enough for me to be honest. I've got cars unlocked in both GT Prologue & GT PSP but I'm not quite sure whether I'll want to transfer them across as slowly building up a garage is a part of what I like about the game. I keep thinking that then I remember that there's nearly 1000 cars to unlock in GT5 which makes me want to unlock what I can automatically.
I'm absolutely loving the look of Mass Effect 2 at the moment but I'm not planning on buying it at launch as I've probably only played about 4 hours of the first game. The first one is another favourite of mine but another game which I stupidly left behind to start playing another game hence what I mentioned above.
One game that I would really love to see in 2010 but I don't think it's had a release date yet is The Last Guardian. I don't really know much about it apart from the fact that Fumito Ueda is creating it but that's all the information I need really.
Another game that I'm really looking forward to in 2010 is Heavy Rain. This is another one that I'm really nervous about at the moment because even the hands on previews have been really positive I still think it could end up being either really good or really bad.
I'm really going to mention any particular games in this one but the PSP go (Stop laughing) has really got me back into handheld gaming after messing around with both a PSP & DS in the past without them really holding my attention.
There is one game in particular which I am looking forward to on the PSP and it's Loopop Cube. We had the DS version just before we got rid of the DS and it was a favourite of mine so I'm looking forward to trying out the new version.
I'm still very cautious about things such as Microsoft's Project Natal & Sony's Wavy Wand Thingy but I'm not going to dismiss either until I've got a good reason to. The price and what sort of gaming support they get will dictate whether we end up with one or both in our house.
There's probably loads of other games that I just can't remember at the moment but right now these are what I'm looking forward to next year.
Anything in particular that people are waiting for or are that they are hoping will be announced at some point?
