[@davidking8903]

[@Elwaves2925]

Kingdom Come was the first sword/melee based game in a long while where I genuinely enjoyed the combat. I couldn't through the Witcher 3 because of it's combat and the same goes for all the souls, souls-like and other combat games like them I've tried. They just aren't for me but because of the first I am looking forward to the second Kingdom Come.

I want to know if they're going to remain faithful to the NWN / D&D 3.5 Edition mechanics or if they're going to strike out with something new in the way the FF7 remake did. I'm hoping it's the latter, because as much as I love NWN, that system has its flaws and I wouldn't mind never having to calculate a dodge reflex saving throw bonus in my head ever again.

[@basvangeest5485]

I really hope they pull it off! But am a bit worried. I love NMS in a way but feel like they could have brought all the factions to life so much more. In the end as beautiful as everything was and how much they improved the mechanics, there was still somewhat of a lack of life to the game for me. But if they can also somehow improve the sense of discovery for this one that would help! I really love them as a developer and hope they pull this off😊

[@ThatSoddingGamer]

Crimson Desert, Judas, and Light No Fire are my main interests. Crimson Desert - It seems it's a Single Player Open World Action RPG, which pretty much ticks all my boxes for preference. It doesn't seem like there is magic, but rather Sci-Fi elements which might lead to some sort of technomage, or who knows what. Judas - Well, I like Bioshock 1 and 2, though Infinite not so much. Looks pretty good. Light No Fire - Ambitious, but unlike with NMS they aren't on the same budget and time crunch to release a game, so I expect it will release in a finished state, by and large. I think I heard the mountains can be genuinely huge, so it'd be interesting to try to manually climb one of those.

Light No Fire is high up on my "can't effin wait" list.

[@Shadows_Inc]

I'm worried about Knights of the Old Republic, because there were some public statements made by some of the leads, like I think the lead writer or editor of the project, saying they are changing aspects of the story and the writing, in order to "make it appeal more to a modern audience", and every time a studio says something along those lines of "made for modern audiences", it always sucks. For example, the Saints Row reboot was "made for modern audiences."

[@MO_Disk]

I'm expecting it to share some similarities to the original KOTOR (the product name.. maybe some plot points, that's it) but everything from the narrative, the deep and complex RPG mechanics and gameplay systems, the huge amount of content and inherent difficulty, to the incredible writing of the original is unfortunately unsuitable for modern gamers. All core RPG and turn-based systems will no-doubt be stripped out of the game in favor for letting you jump and picking your "body type" and pronouns. Really hope I'm wrong, but yeah, anytime "...for modern audiences" is used, it signals to those with a brain to stay far away lol.

[@Shadows_Inc]

@@MO_Disk The old game is PERFECTLY suitable for modern gamers. Gamer tastes haven't changed too much over the years. The problem, is that it's not suitable to the "consultancy groups" and "sensitivity readers" that these modern large companies hire onto the studios. "That's" where the problem is. Real gamers aren't the problem, it's the trigger happy individuals that find ways to be offended at the drop of a hat, that get hired onto projects they don't care about, or actively hate (in the case of many projects like the people who worked on the Witcher Netflix series).

KCD:2 has me really excited. I'm pretty confident it will be a great game, even if it's just more of the first but hopefully they will innovate also.

[@jrg3940]

Crimson Desert is my most anticipated game, if Pearl Abyss cook, it will be contender for game of the year its so ambitious

[@jjpurcell8264]

For that first game. Any DBZ fan chanel, journey into the West is the precursor of dragon Ball z, Son wukong is son Goku, so get your lore hats on

[@dansmith1661]

Son Wukong is smarter than that idiot who almost wiped out the universe.

[@DraigoDragon]

SW KOTOR Remake, I have zero care for It with how star wars has been treated over the... years "Sigh"

[@NegativeROG]

Hello Games has SO made up for their past, I will buy this game the split-second it is up for sale, without hesitation. Light No Fire will be amazing, I'd absolutely bet my life. Also looking forward to the new Bioshock-ish game, it's been too long since. It's a shame nobody ever came up with a co-op mod for Bioshock. Good list, Jake.

[@kingjaries]

Black Myth, Light No Fire, and Crimson looked pretty good

[@LegendRonk]

Crimson desert is the only game I'm looking forward to right now

[@CapFlipGaming]

I haven't been following it, but it is definitely on my radar now. Looks great!

[@GollumsJealous]

High expectations for it after Stellar Blade. Unfortunately it has the same tired setting as KCD2, DD2 and so many medieval games. Let's hope it does something that sets it apart from the rest

[@Straight_White_Fatherly_Figure]

So many bots in the comments...

[@Player1Redacted]

That was so edgy bro. Holy cow. Id better show this comment to every women so they know I'm edgy and cool too

[@bobbydazzle6075]

Beep, bop, boop! 🤖

[@Straight_White_Fatherly_Figure]

@@Player1Redacted how is it edgy?

[@nareiKWhi7]

Sounds like something a bot would say😂

[@MrKeagan9046]

Ambiguous games is best 🎮

[@anthonygazzo7259]

intro music was dope! please consider using more!!

[@felixen21]

Never heard of that Judas game before. Sign me up! Looks awesome

[@super_terram]

It really annoys me that fantasy (specifically high fantasy) is so prominent in video games. There are TOO MANY fantasy/medieval games. The market is totally saturated with them. It's really tiresome. We need more immersive open world experience, fiction, non-fiction, sci-fi, etc to offset the imbalance of fantasy in gaming.

[@Matt-jc2ml]

Buy them less and they will appear less

[@AustonioPlays]

How about not

[@super_terram]

@@AustonioPlays Reality is just too much for you huh?

[@liamlundberg8825]

Where tf is gta 6

[@BerzerkJaeger]

not comming this year

[@MJ-revered]

Crimson Desert ain't coming this year either yet they included it on the list.​@@BerzerkJaeger

[@STRANGEDRIP]

The key word here is ‘upcoming’. GTA 6 won’t be around for a long long time.

[@brucewayne404]

Too ambitious, does not compute.

[@saltysmoke]

In the year 2026

[@deathstick7715]

Hope there will be a physical edition in the US for black myth wokong

[@Bodias...]

I’m exited about the precinct because to me it looks like a silly fun old school cop game. When more info comes out please share!

[@tetermc]

Calling it now, Black Myth Wukong is going to be mid or downright bad. Way too many red flags. Kind of gives me the vibe of one of those free to play game ads that pop up everywhere.

[@clouded.x3579]

I think your just a negative Nancy

[@Ride-Drive]

Half of them are trash

[@Chydog376]

I can confirm that the marvel games graphics really are that good! They used it as a tech demo for unreal engine 5.4 recently at gdc and they showed how the whole trailer was in engine and how it utilized some crazy new technology for detailed graphics. (more nanite stuff!)

[@Anirudhhhhhhh]

I didn’t find the appeal when playing nier automata few years back, but now since I played nier replicant, the nier series has become one of my most favourite. Glad I found my love of gaming back then

[@Future-Wolf]

can't wait for KCD2. I absolutly loved the first part. Just more of that would be for itself awsome. Even better to get a polished and greater game

[@KurenTV]

The Wayward Realms popped onto my radar recently and man do I hope they can pull off what they're going for (Spiritual successor to Daggerfall)

[@JScotty4Reel]

The first third of this list had me worried as I didn’t find any of it exciting, but it picked up after Crimson Desert 🙏

[@mattyb584]

The only game I'm actually curious and kinda looking forward to is Kingmaker, hope it's as epic as it looks and actually comes out this year.
