Games of 2004


Recommended Posts

A list of games to expect this year, and approximate dates of when to expect them...for those unfamiliar with any of these games I've listed their URL's and a basic description

Got this from here.

Half Life 2 - Possibly April 1

First Person Shooter, Action. Sequel to the smash hit 1998 game.

Doom 3 - Later on in the spring (North or south hemisphere :s)

Claims to be "the most frightening experience you ever had playing a PC game".

Unreal Tournament 2004 - March 16

Will not only deliver things that we wanted to see in UT 2003, but it will also be compatible with UT 2003 and UT 2003 servers.

Medal Of Honour: Pacific Assault - End of March

The sequel to Medal of Honor: Allied Assault.

S.T.A.L.K.E.R. Oblivion Lost - September 14

S.T.A.L.K.E.R. is a first-person role-playing game that sends players into a 20-square-kilometer zone around the Chernobyl nuclear power plant in the Ukraine. (read...WOOT!!!)

Battlefield Vietnam - March 22

The sequel to Battlefield 1942, will take players deep into the jungles of Vietnam during the 1960's conflict time period.

Grand Theft Auto 4 (unknown title) - Sometime this year (?)

The next Grand Theft Auto game will not be sub-titled Sin City as indicated in a pre-order listing on Amazon UK

The Sims 2 - Late March/Early April

This highly anticipated sequel is based on a proprietary 3D engine that will allow for new facial expressions and body gestures

Gangland - February

Gangland is a fast pace arcade style action game that combines the RTT, RPG & SIM genres into a whole new breed.

Black & White 2 - Early Fall

The sequel to the critically acclaimed hit Black & White.

Silent Storm - January (read, any day now)

A true 3D tactical turn-based Strategy game set against the backdrop of WWII.

Codename Panzers - Q1, 2004

Will feature more than 100 different vehicles and around 30 single-player missions all set within the WWII time period.

Looking to be a good year for gaming...especially around march :)

Sam & Max Freelance Police, that'll be easily the game of the year in my book. No exact info on release dates yet, but it's supposed to be some time during spring this year. :woot:

HalfLife 2 - April 2004

Unreal Tournament 2004 - Feb 3rd, 2004 or March 16th, 2004???

The Sims 2 - March 29th, 2004

Doom 3 - July 14th, 2004

World of Warcraft - June 14th, 2004

The Matrix Online - October 14th, 2004

S.T.A.L.K.E.R Oblivion Lost - September 14th, 2004

Thief III - 2004

GTA San Andreas (GTA4 or GTA5? supposedly) - 2004

and to clarify, the new gta isn't going to be called gta sin city..it's either San Andreas or something else...

The San Andreas theory is further backed up by the fact that Take-Two has not registered "GTA: Sin City" or "Grand Theft Auto: Sin City" with the Trademark Office
On December 17, 2003, Take-Two registered three titles--GTA: San Andreas, GTA 5, and GTA 6--with the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office. Since Vice City was the fourth game in the Grand Theft Auto series* it would seem that the next installment in the series will be either called GTA 5 or GTA: San Andreas.
and all of that's taken from gamespot..this article only mentions ps2 and is in the ps2 section...i hope it'll be on pc :p

Stalker......september 14th? ........... WTF!?!?!?!??!!?!?!?

Just cause there was a leak doesn't mean it's near finished....just look at Doom 3 and Half Life 2 (both leaked a while back now and we are yet to see either)

Stalker is pretty far in development, but a visit to their forums will show that they are doing some pretty nifty things with the fan community. For a while they ran a competition where fans could send in concept for some of the enemies, and the best ones are finding their way into the game.

Currently their is a fan submission for stories for the "STALKERS" who enter the zone illegally (aka, the main character is a stalker). The best of these will be used for the backstories of some of the Stalkers that you will meet inside the zone.

I'm optimistic for the September release date...but hope that they are ahead of schedule instead/

Stalker it's not an rpg... it's a first person shooter. Says so on the website, I had my hopes up.

A Quote from the official website

Genre: Survival FPS/RPG

Release Date: 1st half 2004

Publisher: THQ

"...We rejected the linear level-to-level passage in favour of such freedom of action and movement as seen in 'Elite', 'Daggerfall' and 'Fallout'. Players will travel an immense territory of a zone stretching for 30 square kilometers, explore it, gain money and experience, move along a free "non-stiff" story line towards the game final..."
