The game list might have moved on a long way from the original one, and as with any such list, not all of it worked out, but the principle remains: This is a thread purely for hype and positivity about PC Gaming and forthcoming games that get you particularly excited. If you're playing it already or it's just a general comment, post it in the Other PC Games Thread. If it's big enough for the func_audience (usually Quake / Doom / Unreal / HL series etc), start a specific thread for it.
New list for 2018 onwards:
Updated for reasonz:
Still hype maybe:
Cyberpunk 2077 - blatantly Deus Witcher, but top of the hype list?
Iron Harvest - it's crowdfunded, let's hope it succeeds
Metro Exodus - equal top of the hype list maybe
Doom 5 - also equal top. Thank fuck there's some vaguely entertaining FPS in the works
Tentative hype:
Phoenix Point - still waiting
Witchfire - verrrrrrrrry tentative
Mechwarrior 5 - the world always needs more Mechs!
Released:
Mutant Year Zero - the new XCom clone hype, more so than PP.
Battletech - it came out, it was great, nuff said.
Call OF Cthulu - FP interactive movie puzzle / talking sim
Hypeless:
Anthem - bollox Ass Effect meets Dickstiny meets who gives a fuck.
The next From Software game - turned out to me boring Japan history meh Nioh clone.
Will try to find the video clip links for some of these, seeing a lot of clips recently inspired me to post this...
Anyway.
Discuss! |

This Goes Straight Into The HYPE Thread:

1. Metro
2. Fuck me it looks nice.
Oooh, A New Metro?

Goody! I thought the Metro saga was supposed to be over...? The trailer looks extra yummy, thanks for sharing. Isn't the music taken from The Fountain OST by Clint Mansell? It's the same melody.
Anybody hyped for this? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xHht8480cEo
Trailer is bonkers! Don't miss the final seconds when a character drops acid. Also, ArrrCee reviewed it on his GGRC channel, for those interested.

Yeah that looks awesome. I thought it was supposed to be over too. Guess they changed their mind.
Although, it all seemed like a scripted sequence which I bet doesn't play out like that in the final game. You wouldn't make that spectacular outdoor area only to be over in 30 seconds.
Nah not the Fountain score, it's much more modern, a lot of trailers have used that theme lately (or variations of that theme, as here it's more techy). Not sure where it comes from, clearly inspired by some Hans Zimmer scores. I wouldn't mind knowing where it came from and if it does have a full score, sounds good.

That's what I was wondering, especially in the sequence with the cliff and zipline. That said, it's supposed to be a gameplay trailer, so ideally it should play out like that.
I too would like to know where the music comes from. Anyone? Maybe a remix of Mansell's work?

I believe it's called 'Don abandons Alice' or something like that from "28 weeks later"

I Would Guess...
#65 posted by Shambler on 2017/06/19 10:25:57
...that the trailer is a highly condensed scripted sequence of gameplay that will take place in that area. Seems entirely natural to have a 5-10 minute segment going through that properly.
Wolf looks cool too although they are milking it a bit now!! This is what, Wolf 5?? Wolf, RTCW, Wofl reboot, Wofl TNO, (Wolf TOB mission pack), this. I know it works well and is fun but....
More Like Wolf 11...

Judgement reserved so hard it hurts on the gameplay / SP functionality, tho.
Holy Fuck, That's Purrty!

I Like Good Graffix
#71 posted by quakeulf on 2017/08/03 09:25:28
Games are looking nicer and I rejoice in that.
It's bad when games that have promising gameplay lack too much in the graffix department like being badly optimised with bad performance or they just look bad as in having amateurish textures/meshes/animations and so forth.
LOL True Dat.
#72 posted by Shambler on 2017/08/03 10:58:54
TBH Anthem looks so good that a Ubi-style downgrade would still be very appealing. Plus lush world, sci-fi, monsters, etc. It's the gameplay and single player aspect that concerns me a lot more.
Is There Actual SP In There?

All I saw was coop in the vid.

Its purdy but still entirely too plastic/fake, the glitzy gfx just make the effect worse or at least non the better than it has always been :
When a 400 Kilo armor suit crashed down at terminal velocity it leaves marks on concrete -> https://youtu.be/EL5GSfs9fi4?t=129
It feels like a light piece of armor made of plastic that generates "wooomp" sound effect and shoots sparks out of its butthole to impress your 8 year old friends. A toy.
Just Read The Comments

on that YT vid and apparently this is a scripted sequence overdubbed by actors, not actual coop gameplay. Which awakens the ghost of deceptions past as KP & Shambler pointed out. I should have known better. Still hyped though.
Anthem

Not really much interest in games but you made me look at the video!
Looks pretty but oh my acting, dialogue, music so meh!
Scripted.
#77 posted by Shambler on 2017/08/03 13:49:22
Yeah of course the actual set-up is fake as anything. The "dialogue" is pathetic but that's ignorable anywaty.
The Most Exciting Thing About Anthem Is...

PUBG full release : this game is something else. It's lovely to see a high stakes multiplayer fps get some recognition. Bring on the clones!
Star Citizen : Really looking forward to this space sandbox! Maybe it'll be out fully in another 2-3 years? Who knows. I hope the single player campaign is excellent.
XCOM 2 WotC : This expansion looks farking excellent. So much new shit to do. A bit pricey for an X-pac but I'm guaranteed to get my moneys worth from it.
Destiny 2 : Destiny is great on ps4, can't wait to see how it feels on pc with a proper framerate etc.
Wolfenstein 2 - German boogaloo : Gameplay I've seen looks great. Looking forward to the acid trip level, don't let me down czg!!!
Metro Exodus : because of course it's in my list. Gameplay demo shown at whateverthefuckitwas blew my socks off.
Warframe - Tides of Eidolon : Warframe is getting an open world map to explore with everything that entails.. and fishing? Definitely worth a look when it's released.
DayZ full release : It's hitting beta (finally) this year and hopefully that means it'll start becoming a game and less a frustrating test bed. With that said, holy shit I've had some experiences in this thing. Definitely the best wilderness survival sandbox out there thanks to the lack of focus on fucking crafting bullshit and the beautiful world.
Anthem : On the fence with this one. It has the potential to be awesome but I'm firmly in the "wait and see" bucket. Love those suits though :)
Half-Lahahahahahahahahahaha *cries into potty*
