Func_Msgboard: Future PC Games / State Of Gaming HYPE Thread.

Future PC Games / State Of Gaming HYPE Thread.

Posted by Shambler on 2006/11/23 06:42:38

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!

Redeem yourself by posting some news / videos showing how utterly thrilling PC gaming will be in the next few years.

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*

Wolfenstein 2 is the only triple A game I am looking forward to this year.

Isnt PUBG Already A Clone Of Whatever Battle Royale PU Was On Before ?

iirc he worked at Starbreeze (?) then moved to Machine Games. He did Wolf:TNO and the X-pac.

Props To Him!

Must be nice to make a living out of his passion. I wish I did with my music.

He Also Worled On That Skrillex Commercial

Anyone Has More Details

#90 posted by Mugwump on 2017/08/05 19:04:23

Maybe Ask Him?

SCORN.

Movement and headbob look real janky. Crosshair is a bit out of place. Playable areas are underwhelming so far....but....

....HOLY FUCKING ART DIRECTION AND THEME!!!

WorldWarPunk Strategy / Tactics Game??

Dem robots man. Love this style. Also hyped for more RTS especially if it's about combat strategy / tactics and not just endless base-building resource-cock-gobbling political-micro-management bullshit (Total Warhammer I'm looking at you with the last one)/

Ohhh Yeah.

Battletech single player campaign. Be warned AI is disabled for this video, but it's already pretty challenging in the revamped skirmish beta. Proper maps look sweet and the whole thing is shaping up well.

#96 posted by FifthElephant on 2017/11/27 02:52:13

Both of those look pretty good

Another Guaranteed* Cert:

* okay may not be guaranteed, but it's Metro and the vibes are always spot on. i wonder if this one is gearing up to be a bit more non-linear / semi-open?? Could be cool.

Upgrading This To Hype Level Hype.

#98 posted by Shambler on 2018/03/28 22:40:49

Based on the 2nd combat they play. Sure it's an XCom clone but with real time exploration thrown in and a theme of it's own.....

Updated.

Yup. Count me in.

Some 1 Year Delay Hype....

#103 posted by Shambler on 2019/09/09 19:02:35

A few timed Epic Malware exclusives to look forward to a year late (hopefully patched and discounted):

Control
Mechwarrior 5
Metro Exodus
The Outer Worlds
Phoenix Point
Rune 2
The Sinking City

(Just noting them down so I remember)

Thumbs Up For Control

#104 posted by Esrael on 2019/09/09 20:45:28

After some quick googling wasn't the Epic store pulling these malwarish moves only around the time it was launched, but they were fixed or something? So I decided to trust them for now and bought Control. I figured it would be good to give Steam some competition and support the developers while doing so, since devs get a larger cut from Epic.

Anyway, I really like Control. If you like metroidvanias and exploration, you very well might like this. Also, if you liked HL2's gravity gun, you'll like the well executed telekinesis ability of Control. (Although I have a feeling it's a bit OP. It's still fun, though.)

Yeah Sorry My Mistake

#105 posted by Shambler on 2019/09/10 13:49:57

I meant Epic Anti-Competitive Anti-Consumer Store....

Was Chatting To Daz Yesterday.

Current:

Necromunda - when patched and on sale.

Horizon Zero Dawn - when patched and on sale.

Rune 2 Reboot - when patched and on sale.

Iron Harvest - when on heavy sale.

Soon:

Thence:

Deathloop - if not too repetitive

WH40K Darktide - 40k vermintide yes plz

Baldur's Gate 3 - BG DOS style yes plz

Atomic Heart - looks cool

Witchfire
