I think it's been a while since we had a thread like this. If not, I do apologize.
Anyway, of the games you're (almost) certain will be out in a year or two - which are your most anticipated ones?
Personally:
1. Starfield
There's no denying that I'm a gigantic fan of BGS games, even if I think they're full of flaws. But that's not such a big deal, as they're always embraced by a giant modding community - which, so far, has always managed to fix or adjust the most glaring issues I have with their games. Ok, so there's no real way to fix the writing - but I find that it's not bad enough to be a big detriment to my enjoyment.
Their games are always full of exploration, immersion, freedom and character progression - all of which rank as my favorite features in any game.
Beyond that, they never really play it safe in terms of just remaking the same game over and over. They always make rather significant changes to the gameplay and add strong features. Even the technological leaps are big considering the aging engine. Yes, yes, Fallout 76 - I know - but that was another team.
2. X (title unknown) by Ghost Story Games (Ken Levine)
All I know about this game is that it's going to be a sci-fi immersive sim by the lead guy behind some of my favorite immersive sims - and that it's going to have a unique emphasis on a semi-procedurally generated narrative. Based on what I've heard, it sounds impossibly ambitious - and I'm extremely sceptical they can actually pull it off.
However, I also think it's one the most exciting potential leaps forward for gaming - so I'm dying to check it out. Game is supposed to be in the final stages of development, but who really knows.
3. Cyberpunk 2077
I actually think the game is only a year or two from leaving early alpha - and, if that happens, the game - when combined with a serious dose of gameplay mods - will almost certainly be right up my alley. I should probably wait for the supposed meaty DLCs - but that will depend on the timing.
