What games are we looking forward to?

God of Blood and War
I was wondering what there is to look forward to. I try (and fail) to keep up with RPG news lurking the codex and sometimes actually engaging in discussions here, but I have to say that at the moment, there are very little games I am actually looking forward to at the moment. Has gaming hit a dry spell, or am I just being picky?

Anyway, at the moment there are only two games I'm actually looking forward to and those are Colony Ship RPG and Torment: Tides of Numenera.

So what are you guys looking forward to? I'm really curious and I actually hope to pick up on some more titles too.
 
Games I'm looking forward to:
  • Days gone
  • Dead rising 4
  • God of war
  • Horizon zero dawn
  • The last guardian
  • Pokemon Sun & Moon
  • Resident evil 7
  • South park: the fractured but whole
  • Tyranny
Abzû looks neat but I wouldn't say I'm looking forward to it.
 
Oh yeah, totally forgot about Tyranny. Although I've become a bit more sceptical of Obsidian after Pillars of Eternity.
 
Torment. And... Nothing really. I grown so jaded and bitter about the game industry that I don't get excited for stuff to come out anymore. I just wait for something to come out and 'then' check out gameplay videos of it and read up on it through user reviews so I can figure out whether or not it'll be worth my time. I've been burned far too many times in the past by the hype machine and being optimistic. Ain't doing that again.

So, yeah. Not looking forward to anything really aside from Torment and maybe Outlast 2. I would say whatever Obsidian is cooking up but they're doing Tyranny which is just a big bundle of
(no thanks).gif



Maybe the other projects Obsidian is doing? And of course whatever comes from InXile after Bards Tale. But other than that? I don't even know what games are in development because I'm so far out of the loop when it comes to what games are being worked on. I just really don't care at this point about "what might be", I only care about "what is" and I can only find that out through gameplay videos that aren't staged and through honest user reviews.

TLDR:

  • Torment: Tides Of Numenera
  • Outlast 2
 
Torment: Tides of Numenara
Outlast 2
Tyranny
Colony Ship
South Park
Deus Ex: Mankind Divided
Civilization VI
Endless Space 2
Mass Effect Andromeda (yes I know...but I'm hoping it won't suck)
Wasteland 3
Fallout: New Vegas 2 made by Obsidian

Yes I know two of those aren't real...yet.
 
Umm.... I don't know if you guys heard it already, but just few days ago it was announced there would be console release for Torment: Tides of Numenera. One thing commonly feared, just as you guys and I would fear, is the PC version would be gimped/restricted to match that of the console version. There's already people becoming grumpy, disappointed, and somewhat outright outraged at this decision on the Codex, especially since Fargo actually explicitly stated and promised they were focusing on PC version and, in his own words, "However, we’ve gone to the crowd and they’ve given us money for a very specific purpose, which is to put our games on the PC, Mac and Linux. So that’s where we’re expending 100% of our efforts. We don’t spend any of our time wondering whether it can or can’t be done on consoles, because that isn’t our charter. Our charter is to deliver these first versions".

I'm personally not against a console release, but they should've done it the way Larian Studio did it with D:OS. From what I've heard, D:OS console version fares much better than Wasteland 2 console version, despite the fact that Wasteland 2 console version were released after that of the PC, just like D:OS.

Having said that, I'm looking forward to some of the games mentioned here, too, and also
  • Van Buren: A Fallout Adventure
  • Fallout of Nevada
  • Olympus 2207
  • Mutant Rising
  • Project Brazil mod for Fallout: New Vegas
  • Stygian: Reign of the Old Ones
  • Copper Dreams
  • InSomnia
  • No Truce With The Furies
  • Other Obsidian's project (like what Josh Sawyer and Tim-Leonard are working on right now)
  • Cyberpunk 2077
  • Maybe the Prey reboot, and Dishonored 2.
  • Whatever From Software is cooking up in their kitchen right now
  • Final Fantasy XII remaster current-gen console (though I hoped for PC release)
  • Final Fantasy XV (preferably a PC release too)
  • and many more that I can't think off the top of my head.
 
NONE!
I am looking forward to no games at the moment... Because I don't have a computer to play them on and I probably won't have one for many months... :sad:
If I get a computer I will come by and post some names :lmao:.
 
I get you Mr Fish, I have become so jaded of the games industry (and movie industry and television industry) that I have barely followed the announcements and news, and as a result I have barely any idea of what games are in development that would have been interesting to me as I just don't feel like going through various games websites any more.

Also lately I just find it very difficult to focus on gaming despite it being my favorite hobby. (mind you, I am not well in my head, that could also be affecting me)

I have been playing Another Metroid 2 Remake however and that does bring back some good classic gaming feeling in general. (game still needs a few tweaks here and there, and some areas feel a little messy regarding design and the enemies placed in it)

Anyway, games I am looking forwards to:

* Deus Ex Mankind Divided
* Metroid Prime Federation Force (more of a spin off to the franchise than a new title in the main series, being seeing as the last game came out in 2010 and that wasn't very good I am willing to give this a try and find out if it is any better)

As for other games I might want to get, it depends on if I happen to come across interesting gameplay videos or people mentioning titles here or on the RPG codex.
I would like to give some of the coming sci fi ish RPGs a try but it depends on my state of mind.

(BTW, if any of you have seen any articles or videos on upcoming sci fi FPS that have not been mentioned yet, could you please mention it on the forum? I really would like to play something like Half Life 2 or Jedi Knight Outcast/Academy again)

No Dawn of War 3!?
Anyway, DOW 3 is the only game I want anymore after I realized WOW is a shitty grindfest and I don't want to buy Legion or play it anymore.

I'm kind of skeptic due to the fact there would only be 3 factions, after we've played Retribution that provides 6 factions. Sure, Dawn of War 2 and Chaos Rising only allowed us to play as the Blood Ravens, but it baffles me why can't they immediately give more than 3 factions this time around. No doubt they would be selling later factions as DLCs.

Oh well, I might buy it much, much later, but compared to what I've listed I'm much more excited for those games right now.
 
Oh yeaaah
Divinity: original sin 2 :D :D

so much potential, the world, the pnp rpg like freedom, the combat mechanic, the non-legacy engine, and most importanly...Chris avellone :hatersgonnahate: himself with 7 other army of writer working on the narratives :smug:

if you have any doubt, check out this.



Seriously; even my most anticipated games, deus ex mankind divided is such nothing compared to the detail of Divinity OS 2

Torment. Nuff said.

Was thinking about maybe playing the divinity games but it just screams fantasy, which is not really my cup of tea (however I did like pillars of eternity but still).
 
Am I the only one who is not looking forward to Torment?

I love the original game beyond death, but I don't have my hopes high about the sequel. I was mildly disappointed with WL2 (admittedly, still haven't finished it), and since I'm madly in love with Ps:T I have extremely high expectations that I'm not sure can be delivered.

i'm almost certain that dawn of war will gonna be milked by cash grab dlc. we are talking about company who care more about drm than the content quality it delivers
 
I haven't even finished PS:T, yet I know why it's legendary among cRPGs. I bet Fargo and co didn't watch MrBtongue's video here:



I'm reading the Codex's News Thread about it right now, and I'm slowly lowering down my expectation of it.

i called torment as highly interactive novel video games, its definitely a proper port of PnP experience.

Well, as to Torment; Wasteland 2 got a console release and it has a UI designed specifically for a controller, right? Whereas the PC release has a UI designed for mouse+keyboard. So I don't see any reason to be worried really. InXile has shown that they can design UI's tailored for the system they're played on.

Oh and now that you bring it up, Fallout: Van Buren and Mutants Rising is something I'm looking forward to as well. Olympus 2077 I would be excited about but it's in russian and I dunno if an english version will be released or if it will be translated well. Same thing with Fallout of Nevada. Didn't even know that was a game until now but yeah, russians... I have zero trust that translations will happen. I'll believe it when I see it. All three of them are also mods so they're not exactly "destined" to come out, they could completely fail and and fall apart on themselves. So, yeah...

[edit]

Actually, there is something else. I'm real damn excited to see whatever Bethesda decides to trot out next if only so I can tear it to pieces. :)

I also have my doubts about Torment.
The setting sounds very interesting and the storyline intriguing but Wasteland 2 was sadly never the game I had hoped it turned out to be when I donated to it.
I did not have money at the time to support the Torment Kickstarter but after having played Wasteland 2 I might have been in doubt about that game afterwards and really would have to see some videos to see if its story and gameplay turned out well. (my biggest issue with Ps:T has always been its combat)

Also, I have been hearing some, well I would not call it negative but still questions about the Numenera role playing game.

I have to take your words about this. But then, so does the words of some of the Codexers saying the UI for Director's Cut edition kind of messed up, and because it was due to console release. I've heard lots of stuff about it, and it's not just due to inXile finally announcing they're releasing console version together with PC release. It's about honesty and consistency from Fargo's part, i.e promises to preserve Infinity Engine, cRPG, and Torment-setting credibility. Really, I recommend you to check out Codex News Thread about this, all the 13-pages and still counting of it. Both sides of the arguments aren't exactly unreasonable in their hopes and doubts, and I also have my own, so I'm mostly staying neutral until we see more of what we have now.

Hey, don't worry. Both are on work in progress, right now! Olympus 2207 is, as of July 16 last month, is 17% done. Dunno about how much Fallout of Nevada has progressed, but there's hope.
