Most Anticipated Games for 2014 ??

richymcdermott

We are almost at the end of the dry summer and I am not up to scratch at what big titles are scheduled to be released in the next couple of months so I thought this be the perfect time to hear peoples most Anticipated games for 2014.


Alien Isolation:



3 Strikes and you are out after the mediocre Aliens vs Predator and the Abysmal Colonel Marines what came out of e3 it seemed Aliens Isolation is the alien game done correctly , I am still skeptical but we see what is to come out of the end product.

The Evil Within:

Master Shinji Mikami The Evil Within , creator of my most beloved survival horror franchise Resident Evil aswell worked on Vanquish and Shadow of the Damned brings back what I hope to be Survival Horror back to its roots , no stupid sh!t like resident evil 6 was , this is up there in my top 3 most hyped games as I trust Shinji with my survival horror gaming heart.

Persona Q:

I am a massive fan of Persona franchise and Etrian Odyseey so both games mixed together is going to leave me with one big grin and alot of joy an laughter.

Bayonetta 2:

Smash Bros u:

I don't think Allen isolation or evil within will be the brilliant games I'm hoping they'll be. No interest in destiny. Guess I'm looking forward nba 2k15, drive club, the crew, far cry 4 and new assassins creed.

I am most excited for Asssassin's Creed Unity. Another game as good as AC:IV and I will be very happy.

I'd add another AC game here if they were ti announce a game for the PS3/360.

My second mist anticipated game is Pro Evolution Soccer 2015. The first one on the new generation if consoles. But deep down I know it will be another disappointment.

Generic Dreadhead

Far Cry 4 or Destiny

McSasquatch II

Evolve and Civ: Beyond Earth are the big ones for me. Also cautiously looking forward to Shadow of Mordor - if they nail the mechanics, it could be good fun.

Civ: Beyond Earth

Oh yes, and this too very much

corcaigh07

Last of Us Remastered, a lame excuse for a release but I was primarily 360 last-gen and now on PS4 so looking forward to seeing what all the fuss is about

Skerries

well until it got put back it was The Witcher 3 so not too sure what I'm looking forward to now

Josey Wales

After playing the Destiny beta last night I can definitely add this game to my list.

ShadowHearth

I dont even know. There is nothing that would make my go "jizz in my pants" this year. I guess the only game that I REALLY looking forward is Monster Hunter 4, but it is out early in 2015 for europe.

Correct, all the games no-one has played yet (Alpha/Beta Access aside) are terrible. :pac:

maximoose

Destiny
Sunset Overdrive
Master Chief Collection

Arkham Knight would have been my most anticipated, stupid delays.

Quite looking forward to NHL 15, looks promising.

Sunset Overdrive

I enjoyed the trailer, but I wonder will it offer enough to be enjoyable, "deep" and value for money (if it's coming as a full €50+ release)
It looks fun, but is it just another Orcs Must Die type thing? I dunno

maximoose

Enjoyable - Yes! I think it looks like it's gonna be cracking fun to play
Depth and value for money - not so certain. Everything I've seen about it so far is keeping me interested though so I'm looking forward to it

This year is looking incredibly uninspired and dull. Sequels, shooters and racers, and very little else.

About the only thing I have any vague interest in coming up near the end of the year is Dragon Age: Inquisition, and that's purely out of attachment to the franchise.

I don't agree with this, and i'm not exactly swooning over any major games at the moment, although i have been throwing coquettish looks Destinys way.

"This Year" also includes the past, such as "New" entries like Watchdogs, which people were courting way back when.

It's best to "judge" a years worth of games at the end of the year when they've all been released, played, early-metacritic reviews ignored and review embargoes lifted.

There may not be much to excite you for the next 5 months but it's not necessarily any different from 2 or 5 years ago (Hype Flop Auto 5 aside)

There's surely be some crackers released around the end of the calendar year you'll enjoy, or it'll be a very barren x-mss :pac:

Taylor365

Elite: Dangerous
Darkest Dungeon
Evolve
Pillars of Eternity

More in this end of 2014 than in previous 2 years for me.

Yeah, let's review the year so far: Titanhype, Hypedogs, Cashing-In's Creed DLC, Decent Souls II, MGS Ground Demos, more average but expensive DLC for mediocre games. Great year for games so far, and it's only going to get better with BESTINY HYPEHYPEHY... oh wait.

Well that is why gaming industry is today really with AAA games , its why People are worshipping Indies so much

And what of the magnificently witty Jazzpunk? The impeccable multiplayer intensity of Towerfall Ascension? The bold innovation of Sportsfriends? The genuinely gorgeous, poetic world of Monument Valley? The perfection of Threes? The brilliant Resogun DLC that effectively gives an already superb game a whole new lease of life? Arguably the finest, most immaculately crafted Mario Kart to date? The inspired collision of Phoenix Wright and Professor Layton? The superb Transistor? The latest acclaimed and popular episodes of Kentucky Route Zero, Walking Dead, A Wolf among Us? Ys Memories of Celceta? Shovel Knight? Olli Olli? Broken Age? Scramkitty? The Banner Saga? Strider? Nidhogg? Wolfenstein?

You'll excuse me if I find a general dismissal of the year so far an unfair one. Not to mention many more promising games, big and small, on the horizon.

Yup, throw Blek and Pivvot in there too imo. Hotline Miami 2, Rime, Counterspy and The Witness are also still to come.

As for upcoming AAA, the latest trailer for Lords of the Fallen has it firmly on my list now.

Personally though, Bayonetta 2 is the game I'm looking forward to the most. I'll even be picking up a WiiU for it.

Elite Dangerous.

See, a lot of these I can agree on. I'm no hipster, but recently almost all that has interested me has been from the indie scene. But the question of the thread was what your most anticipated game is, not what your favourite already released games are. And this years holiday lineup is hideously dull.

Transistor is already up there as my game of the year so far. Season 2 of Walking Dead has really let me down, but I'll fully concede to the awesomeness that is The Wolf Among Us. Special shoutout also to a game that really dragged me in - Super Time Force. Get it, you won't regret it!

Strider was also a lovely surprise for me, being an old Sega Mega Drive kid who loved that series to pieces, but I'm fully aware that a lot of my attachment to the game is solely based on.

Bayonetta is one of my all time favourite games, but I'm not going to buy a new piece of hardware for one sequel that is more of the same, however good that sameness may be,

Pick it up for all of the other games that blow the ps4/xbox1 line ups outta the water then I've played my WiiU more than i have my ps3 now and i only have it since mid june and ps3 since release, and ive more wii u games..

I look at the Ps4/xbox1 and I've alot to complain about, with the Wii U i have nothing but praise and i never had a Wii so im no fanboy, heck prior to ps3, playstation was my top console.

Captain Toad Treasure Tracker is my most anticipated game

I never played the original Strider on the Mega Drive but I've really enjoyed the new one.
