Hey guys 2004 looks like a promising year with tons of nextgen games and release dates being met. I believe this year will be really good in the name of gaming. Already, this month we got good marks like CS:CZ march 23rd and ut2004 and BFV going gold....man this is going to be coool gaming here...Doom3 is also due for an april 2004. Q1 of 2004 is looking great!!! Hl2 will be release this year hopefully. This is going to rule... Farcry should announe of them being gold soon i hope.... march is going to rock... we got cs:Cz(if ill even buy it anymore :P) we got farcry, and bfv and ut2004...i cant wait guys. This year is going to be awesome. What do you think??? Did i leave out any cool games??
:)
 
Painkiller? I think the full release of this is going to be impressive.

Yea I totally agree, a good year for games...
 
I dont think it will be that great, at the begining of every year everyone thinks lots of amazing games will come out , but all the amazing games get delayed, get cancelled or turn out to not be as good as everyone thought they would be. I think there will be one or two great games but I dont think it will stand out from any other year.
 
Hmm...let's see what we have:
DoomIII;Half-Life2;Unreal Tournament 2k4;Star Wars Republic Commando & Stalker.

That's what happened LAST year... :dozey:

Yes, I do think 2004 is going to be great year.

(Note: **** Painkiller... so goddam crappy... why the HELL it gets ANY praise is unfathomable.)
 
That's what they said about 2003, and 2003 turned out to be one of the suckiest years of pc gaming.

BTW Painkiller owns. Had more fun with the demo of this "simplistic" game than any other full game of the last year.
 
Yea it is enjoyable launching a grenade into a group of "the damned" and watching them fly through the air :D
 
Yeah I am ready Duuuuuuuuuude/s

Doom3, HL2 and Stalker will cost me £105

:laugh: They worth every Pounds I put on them. Yes Indeed
 
well, half life 2 may cos a LOT more if you count the internet schemes valve are devising.

Agreed. The game has so many cool enemies (IMO), alot of flashy effects, it's fast paced and alot of fun.

Notable GameCube games of 2004:

Notable PS2 games of 2004:
Gran Turismo 4
Killzone
MGS 3: Snake Eater
Mortal Kombat: Deception

I guess you can see that I haven't been following the GameCube or PS2 games very closely... but even without those two consoles there are a lot of (probably) good games coming out in 2004.
 
This is gonna be the best gaming year ever... hope i'll have enough money to buy em all!
 
I think it's gonna be a great year. Loads of games waiting to be released. 2003 was completely crap.. nothing decent was released really.
 
OCybrManO, if you're gonna throw TF2 in that list, you might as well include DNF ;)

my point is that...yea all the delayed games from 2003 will be out 2004...unless for some reason they slack off *COUGH COUGH* who said 2003 was good year for gaming??? mod community yes......
 
I never think that gaming actually gets WORSE from year to year, the absolute worst case scenario is a lateral move. But most of the time things do get better from year to year and our standards change accordingly. Did you even care about normal mapping two years ago?
 
Dude, 2003 was not that bad for PC gaming. Since I've been playing PC games for 8 years, I've noticed the quality of games has changed. It seems like the majority of the games released today are fairly good. I cant say that was true 8 years ago.

Granted that there was no blockbuster game in 2003, 2003 still brought some good games. I especially liked Rise of Nations and Call of Duty. While neither was revolutionary, they where very very good stop gaps till the next generation of games arrives (HL2, Doom3, etc).
 
FarCry, HL2, Halo 2, Stalker, Fable, Doom 3, GT4, GTA4, MGS3

...need I say more?

No.. I don't
 
I wonder how it is that oh so many awsome games are beeing released this year and no awsome ones were released last year? why must they all be released during the same year?
 
the ones on my list have already been stated, but i will add for joy :)
hl2
d3
stalker
thief 3
tf2
tribes vengeance
rome total war

those are the ones im gonna buy the day they come out.

the ones that i will wait for reviews or are kinda ify are :
farcry
starwars rebulic comando and battlefront
bf:v
ut2k4
WoW
joint operations
soldner
vampire:tmb
