2009 preview (a quick look at upcoming titles )

Happy new year . today is officially the first day of the year 2009 .  after all been said and done during 2008 we are stepping into a year that is going to be as splendid as the year before . Wii will be there to make your grandpa play  video game for the first time as always , Xbox 360 and PS3 are now 3 and 2 year old consoles and that means the developers have tremendous amount of acquaintance with both consoles . 360s and PS3s will work at their extremity to deliver games at their finest .

Consoles , developing and technology

Each year bring with itself…….wait for it …….. a newer technology !!! and unlike many other entertainment medias , technology  has a direct impact on video games .

Now developers have gotten the hang of the so called hard to program PS3 and games on that system are starting to look and run as good as X360 games (if not better ) . also developers know that officially all of the X360 consumers are using NXE and specially the copy game to HDD functionality  and that means unofficial and unstated improved quality not only in loading times but also stability for X360 games with the HDD in mind .

PC gamers enjoy a new year more than anyone else since  high-end devices get cheaper and cheaper throughout time . nVidia Geforce 9800 GTX and 9800

2009 is going to be a better year for all three giant companies (Nintendo , Microsoft and Sony )  along with members of Giant Bomb !!!!!

Exclusive titles

Now lets take a look at the top exclusive titles for various consoles due in 2009 :

PlayStation 3 

In 2009 Sony 's PlayStaion 3 will satisfy the console owners with multiple superb exclusive titles.  With all these games , PS3 owners will find enough reason not to be hungry for more . believe it or not 2009 is PS3's year (at least in terms of exclusive titles ) . the year is filled with great games that attract anyone's attention ranging from the sequel to one of the best PS3 games “Uncharted  “ to Quantic Dream ‘sHeavy Rainthe studio that brought you Fahrenheit (Indigo Prophecy) back in 2005 .

Also were probably gonna see a lot of new content for Littlebigplanet
High fives all round!

Heavy Rain has me so excited!

You taste that... sweet, sweet games.

2009!

year of the psp, i just know it!

"You taste that... sweet, sweet games."

"Heavy Rain has me so excited!"

"2009!

year of the psp, i just know it!"

You forgot Loco Roco 2, Final Fantasy Dissidia, Star Ocean: Second Evolution, PixelJunk Monsters Portable, and that's most of them for the PSP for now.

Edit: You already have Monster Hunter. Whoops.

Also... White Knight Chronicles looks like shit. I watched a few hours of gameplay footage of it. It's just... ugh.

I'm not sure why you didn't list any of the Wii games. The Wii has tons of games coming next year (TONS!!!) and yes I know some of them will be shit but, c'mon, these are a fair few that should appeal to us "gamers": House Of The Dead Overkill, Madworld, Sin & Punishment 2, Punch-Out!!, Monster Hunter 3, The Conduit, Pikmin 3 (perhaps?), new Zelda (perhaps). There are tons and tons more I'm missing too.

I don't know if I'm the only one...but I am really, really excited for the Prinny PSP game.

Can't wait for Final Fantasy XIII! :D

"Aweeee C,mooooooooooooooon
"

2009 definitely has a lot of games that interest me.  Now that I have a job and a PS3 to go along with my Xbox 360, I can play double the amount of games!

Shit yeah, Ninety Nine Nights II. Am I right?

I was looking forward to it too, but it just seems empty and boring."

Another game i'm really looking forward to, in 2009, is Bionic Commando

"2008 was better. Probably the only year when I thought "Finally it's [insert year here]"."

2009 is far better than you think , many titles that we are not even aware of will be announced later on . do not worry !, 2009 will satisfy all of us .

PS  I bet we will hear from Hitman 5 at E3 .

"Another game i'm really looking forward to, in 2009, is Bionic Commando"

  No you are not the only one , Prinny  is the second most important PSP game of 2009 "

 I don't know about all that...I don't really think it's that big. I will say that PSP in 2009 doesn't look too hot though."

Hey, thanks for the link. THough I was sure that Splinter Cell game was cancelled. Anyway, I will be looking forward for those games. Regards :)

The final version is already out, at least in Japan. I'm still interested, but it hasn't changed much from what we saw. It still fells empty and bland, at least the videos that I saw."

I hope they include some extra features in  NA & PAL versions  

Very neat Blog post. Good work and keep it up.

I'm most excited for

•  Uncharted 2 : among thieves
•  God Of War 3.

"Very neat Blog post. Good work and keep it up.

It seems that The X360 does not have much going on :(

Nice blog. I realized how many more games there are for me to see now. While RE5 and SFIV all look awesome, some exclusives like Killzone 2, Heavy Rain and the possibility of another Mass Effect and Bioshock have a lot of potential. Can't wait.

You forgot one of the biggest titles coming this year in Street Fighter 4

Daym, I was completely unaware about <N3 II>! I'll get it for sure. I finished the first one, and I keep getting pulled back to it time by time.
Are there any trailers for N3 II out there?

I'm hoping for a new Zelda announcement with a release date this year.

Are there any trailers for N3 II out there?"
