    Not a lot of high profile releases have caught my attention. The Witcher 3 is being looked forward to though.

    We'll not get them 2015 but I would still like an announcement at least on new Fallout, Borderlands and Left 4 Dead titles !!!!!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,641 ✭✭✭zero19


    Of that list I'd be interested in the following:

    Until dawn
    Persona 5
    No mans sky
    MGS5
    Rise of the tomb raider

    Additions to it would be:
    Fallout 4 (hopefully!)
    The Witcher 3

    Hate to burst your bubble but Fallout 4 is as likely as Half Life 3. Bethesda have confirmed that there will be no new fallout before the end of 2016. To do such a big game right would take a couple of years work.

    None of the new games listed have gotten my attention.

    If they are saying this now then how did they manage to do Oblivion, Fallout 3 and Skyrim all in last generation. Another Fallout game is long overdue from them. I would have expected them to have started work on Fallout 4 while Fallout Vegas was done by Odsidian.

    What time period did those games cover though, there was probably the guts of 5 years or more development across all of them.

    Apparently until recently they were busy working on other projects and are now working on an unnamed project. They have confirmed that they will be releasing another Fallout game stating that they bought the Fallout to make more games. They then went on to say that even though they are making another game it is a long way away :(

    Can't wait for Microsoft to desperation-sell the deservedly failing Xbox brand to Lenovo in 2015.

    That'll be my highlight of the year.

    (

    Not long at all, Oblivion came out very early of generation 7 on the 360 before the PS3 was even in Europe. March 2006 with the 360 only released in December 2005. Fallout 3 was released in 2008 and Skyrim in 2011.

    Clearly they were working on more than one game at once and worked on Oblivion before the 360 console was announced at E3 2005.

    There is no reason why Fallout 4 could be a year or so away and they don't want to announce it too early.

    Your year most likely won't have a highlight so -

    I can't see that happening tbh...

    I won't buy an Xbox One unless some game I really want comes along for it, and there's nothing I want as of yet....


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 13,295 ✭✭✭✭Duggy747


    So far The Witcher 3 and finally be able to play GTA 5 when it comes to PC at the end of January...............only to find it's a terrible port or my machine won't handle it or some silly bullshít :pac:


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,710 ✭✭✭Monotype


    Saints row? Is there another one coming out?

    I'm looking forward to Left 4 Dead 3. The full version of Black Mesa Source as well.

    No just Saints Row 4 re-issued with new content which will be available stand alone also as far as I know.

    Another remastering :p

    Weirdos, no one has The Division down, that and Ori and Blind Forest.

    Half Life 3 will be my game of 2015!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 11,174 ✭✭✭✭Captain Chaos


    Valve won't be releasing any more games unless it's a new IP because they don't do 3. ;D

    Half Life 2: Episode 3
    Half Life 3
    Left 4 Dead 3
    Portal 3
    Team Fortress 3

    Put all that in one pack and call it the Orange Box 2.


  • Moderators, Category Moderators, Computer Games Moderators Posts: 52,407 CMod ✭✭✭✭Retr0gamer


    Don't write off the PS3 either. It's around this time a console usually gets its best games that become super rare. There'll be a good few late japanese games coming to the system from the likes of gust and Nippon Ichi. Atelier Shallie will be released soon, the last five Atelier games on the PS3 have been by far the best RPGs on the system and unfairly ignored by most people.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 18,823 ✭✭✭✭K.O.Kiki


    Can't wait to go through my back catalogue!
    :pac:


  • Moderators, Social & Fun Moderators Posts: 28,633 Mod ✭✭✭✭Shiminay


    The Division, Arkham Knight, No Man's Sky and GTA V are probably what I'm looking forward to most I think. Also, as I've never played a Metal Gear Solid game, I'll be giving that a look to see what the fuss is about.

    I've also found myself feeling a bit Nintend-Curious and might consider indulging in some child's play with one of their toys :p</obviousGoodNaturedTroll> But all nonsense aside, there's a non trivial list of things that interest me in the Nintendo space. I have some significant upgrades to do on my PC first though, so it'll be second half of the year if it happens at all.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 8,405 ✭✭✭gizmo


    Bunch of games I'm looking forward to myself missing from that list...

    Pillars of Eternity
    Torment: Tides of Numenera
    Quantum Break
    Scalebound
    Devils Third
    Inside
    Rime
    Everyone's Gone To Rapture
    Hotline Miami 2
    The Witness
    Rainbow Six: Siege
    Yoshi’s Woolly World

    Plus a bunch of games out in early access currently too which should hopefully be done in the next year, Satellite Reign, Chaos Reborn etc...

    *sigh*

    I'm not getting too far ahead so only looking at the first three months. Only one that I am looking forward to is Hardline.

    Jan:
    Resident Evil Remastered think it goes without saying everyone is getting this.
    Dying Light Not expecting this to be great but worth a bash, just at payday in Jan too.
    GTA V on PC I'll skip I have two copies on PS3 and PS4 and the PS4 one is pretty much perfect.

    Feb:
    Evolve: I am worried about the Left4dead ties as I don't get the fuss with it but still will prob end up getting it.
    The Order 1886: Ill get it just because it is sony but after playing some of it I'm not overly impressed. Very much along the Ryse looks great but very little game play category.

    March
    Battlelfield Hardline: Only day one purchase, pretty much a no brainer.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,721 ✭✭✭Otacon



    Do we know what team is working on it? The Bayonetta 2 team or The Legend of Korra team?

    Hideki Kamiya is the director. He was the director for Bayonetta and Wonderful 101 and supervised Bayonetta 2 so I've got high hopes.

    I'd imagine it'll be a different core team since it's being led by Kamiya, probably the guts of the W101 team? I'm sure the folks on the Bayonetta 2 team will have joined them since shipping said title.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 27,349 ✭✭✭✭super_furry


    Incidentally Kamiya is brilliantly mental on twitter - https://twitter.com/pg_kamiya

    Really? I couldn't be less interested in a game, it looks shockingly boring and unoriginal. PayDay + Counter Strike in the Frostbite Engine has no sway over me, I'd love to hear what's got you excited for it Grumpy :)

    Getting into TLDR mode :)

    I don't have a lot of fun playing games these days, they are so intense, dramatic or crap that the days of me playing with a big dumb smile across my face because I'm just having fun are long past. So when one does come along that is fun I really do enjoy it.

    The most fun I had in any shooter recently was in Warfighter, it was IMO the best of the modern military shooters for tactical gameplay especially online on PC. A working cover system, great team based mechanics that you could use even if your team mate wasn't the best, spawning cool down so you don't get enemies magically appearing in front of you as you kill their squad like in BF4. Some of the best maps in any online shooter (no camping spots, no cluster corridors, plenty of alternative routes & great game modes). When played correctly you felt like your team achieved something, not that you got the highest score or unlocked some XP.

    Looking at the popularity of Insurgency (which is a poor mans version of Warfighter) it is surprising more didn't give it a fair shot. I think this came down to the reviews.

    It got unfairly written off by the reviewers who focused on the campaign and not the online. But when they reviewed BF4 or COD they simply write off the campaign and focuses on the online which seems unfair. Plus they were in a rage over the injustice of having to play the game on the same day the general public could play it. But if you talk to anyone who put in a decent amount of hours they will agree that it is a really good game.

    Anyway why that is important is Danger Close made warfighter and a lot of that team are now working for DICE LA on Hardline. From what I have seen they have already made some great additions and tweaks to BF4 gameplay to make it fun. I had so much fun in the beta on that one map compared to the whole of BF4. Grabbing a bag of cash, hopping on a bike and escaping around a hail of bullets just made me excited to be playing a game again instead of going through the motions.

    When I look at what else is coming out in the first three months that is the only one I'm looking forward to. The others I will likely play along the way but am I excited for any of them? Nope.

    The Division for me.

  • Moderators, Social & Fun Moderators Posts: 28,633 Mod ✭✭✭✭Shiminay


    Cool, delighted you're looking forward to it so :) I met some of the team on the first recent MoH re-release and they're good people. The game didn't inspire me, but I thought it was a solid idea, just not really my cuppa tea. I didn't play Warfighter, I didn't think I'd enjoy it at all having not really enjoyed the first, but I'm happy to hear they tried something new and interesting, even though it was given a very rough time critically.

    My own thoughts on EA's "War" series' would've been to make BattleField Multi-Player only and have the Medal Of Honour series tell some soldier's stories through the campaign which is what they wanted to do with it anyway. Add to that the 2 player co-op stuff that both games have (and that CoD too has done very well to be fair) and I think it'd have sat better with the audience.

    I really hope it turns out as well as you hope:)

    I don't know how folks can still stick out playing military sims, I guess if that's what you're into, fair enough :) After the PS2 gen ones though I felt like I was just playing the same thing over and over. Dabble in some Battlefield and COD but just not for me, at all. I think if it was between only playing them and not playing games at all, I'd choose the latter.

    I'm really looking forward to No Man's Sky, but at the same time don't want to get my hopes up. So much potential there (and so much to be let down by at the same time!).. will be picking up a PS4 when it comes out either way. Plus there's Bloodborne too.

    Also can't wait for Satellite Reign, the Zelda Wii U game and picking up the new model 3DS XL with Xenoblade Chronicles.

    Id recommend it to anyone who is jaded with the current crop it really is that different once you get into it. Plus it is normally on sale now for about 3-5 euro. So much effort was put into balancing everything, every weapons, every special ability, each of the different classes all have decent counters.

    DICE made the multiplayer for MOH but Danger Close did MOHW and there is a big difference.

    Plus the campaign is around 6 hours so it is one of the only games I had time to finish :D

    Only military sims I personally have time for is BF4, only started getting into it since BF3 to be honest and I do love it!

    Not interested in Hardline in saying that!

    Next year I'm also looking forward to No Man Sky, kinda worried about whether its the "Elite of my dream's" or if it could turn out a pile of cack.... :/

    Also looking forward to The Order but have a doubt in my mind already about it....

    Honourable mentions : Uncharted 4, MGS V, MK X, SFV

    And if Zelda and Starfox come out for Wii U this year I may furnish Nintendo with a few of Fieldog's hard earned funds.... :)

    The Division could be good also but with Ubi's track record I may wait a few weeks after launch.... :)


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 10,870 ✭✭✭✭Generic Dreadhead


    I'll get excited 2 months before release dates... that's how I normally roll...

    At least with Nintendo you're almost guarateed not to be let down :)

    Couldn't give a toss about military FPS. I usually only end up getting stuck into PvP and Destiny is occupying the PvP hole in my heart at the moment.

    Would like:
    Bloodbourne (looks cool ,never played a Souls game though)
    Uncharted 4 (love that series)
    Batman (pre-ordered with the crazy low amazon price back a few weeks ago)
    Zelda (cannot be bad)
    Evolve (pending reviews etc)

    any word on xenosaga remastered because I really hope that happens.
    Also since were getting FF7 for ps4 (again but I'll likely get it for the tenth time) but anyone think we may get chrono cross, xenogears or legend of dragoon for ps4 or steam because that would be really good.
    Also kinda pointless to have gotten FF10 remastered for ps3 if there bringing it out again on ps4 just thinking they might do the same thing to kingdom hearts as well.
    Also any big time RPGS coming out this year apart from witcher 3, persona 4, code name steam, zelda, xenoblades and final fantasy?

    Also anyone notice the plethora of space games after alien isolation like Tacoma.


  • Moderators, Computer Games Moderators, Social & Fun Moderators Posts: 81,083 Mod ✭✭✭✭Sephiroth_dude


    legend of dragoon for ps4

    I'd love to see that happen anyway :pac:


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,814 ✭✭✭FortuneChip


    Bloodborne is a day 1 purchase, as well as a few days off work.
    My PS3 croaked before I could finish Dark Souls 2, so the PS4 release as well.

    Uncharted goes without saying. There were a few things in the third that flat out annoyed me but Among Thieves if just superb so here's hoping for more of that.

    MGS V, didn't bother with Ground Zero, but I've enjoyed all the main games thus far.

    Dying Light
    Arkham Knight
    Below
    The Division
    Ori and the Blind Forest
    No Mans Sky

    ..All have my interest so far.

    Scalebound I'll be keeping an eye on.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 28,789 ✭✭✭✭ScumLord


    I'm still looking forward to GTA V.

    Outside of that it's the nordschleife for Assetto Corsa. there's nothing else that interests me at this point, although I don't really keep up with all the happenings.

    I would be looking forward to the batman game but I got bored with the last one and never finished it.

    I haven't played any of the battlefield games but is COD really considered a military sim now?
