I have compiled a list of some predictions for the upcoming year:
-StarCraft 2 will not be released, or ever given a release date.
-Wrath of the Lich King won't come out either.
-A full-on sequel to World in Conflict will be announced and released in late 2008(running on the same engine as the original), but it probably should have been an expansion pack.
-Battlefield 3 will be announced and will be running on a version of their new frostbite engine, and it will once again announce that the next battlefield will support over 100 players per server, but will once again go back down to 64.
-Half-Life 2: Episode 3 will be debuted before E3 08 and said to be ready for release by winter 2008, but won't come out until winter 2009. No new games will be announced by Valve, and no official maps for portal will be released either. I will say expect exactly 2 Team Fortress 2 maps that will come out on PC and not on the consoles, and then maybe 1 more map in 2009.
- Far Cry 2 will be pushed back to Winter 2008, and still be really buggy, but probably less buggy than STLAKER.
-PS3 will start to really gain momentum and start making sense that it costs way more than the competition: Blu-Ray will not be deemed the "winner of the format war," I don't think a true "winner" will be deemed until at least 2010, when people start to actually buy HD-DVDs and BRDs.
-360 will start to lose momentum as it's big gun for 08, Ninja Gaiden 2, will be as good as the original game, but will not be as popular to the masses as say, Halo or Gears of War.
-GTA4 will be pushed back to early September (won't risk a last spring/summer launch), and be pretty good, but probably not mind-blowing.
-MGS4 will be the craziest MGS yet story-wise, but will not be the best MGS gameplay-wise. And will face bad marks on reviews for not having a fully-featured online component, and instead saying that Metal Gear Online is a separate game (the whole dividing them up as 2 separate products is totally stupid).
-Burnout Paradise won't be as good as takedown or revenge, but still good.
-God of War 3 will be unveiled at E3 in only trailer form.
-Killzone 2 will be released, look great, play ok.
-Resistance 2 will be announced for winter 08 and be totally overshadowed by Killzone 2.
-Gears of War 2 will be unveiled, still won't care about the story, but dual wielding chain-saws. You heard it here first.
-Spore will finally be released after getting delayed to fall 08, and will be game of the year.
-A new game from the Ico and Shadow of the Colossus studio will be unveiled, won't come out until 09.
-Besides the release of God of War: Chains of Olympus, the PSP will either start to fade out of existence or get a huge boost in support this year.
-Project Origin will be mediocre at best due to being developed with the 360 as the main platform and not the PC.
-Wii sales start to slow down( Wii are through!), I will finally be able to play Mario Galaxy.
-Smash Bros Brawl will sell more copies than Mario Galaxy has and will ever sell, but will not be met with as high critical appraisal.
-Capcom and Konami will not merge.
-Atari finally hits the old dusty trail.
-If I wanted to be wild, I'd say that THQ and Take 2 will merge.
-More DS colors.
-Wii will not pass 360 in sales, but come extremely close, PS3 starts to close gap.
-Last year PS2 will see ports from other consoles.
-Generally a good year for games, but no 2007, but almost every big game released this year will be a sequel.
