What game(s) are currently on your radar?

Right now I'm looking at Returnal, Ratchet and Clank Rift Apart, Resident Evil Village, Neo: The World Ends With You, and Zelda Skyward Sword HD. I can see myself getting these games at launch or later in the year.

I'm wait and see on No More Heroes 3. I still have to play the first two games. I put a bunch of hours into 1. The novelty and controls kind of wore off on me, but I still want to see what this series is about. I'm also interested in Disgaea 6 because they overhauled the graphics and animations. Looks interesting, but I have never been able to get into this franchise before. I'm also interested in seeing how Halo Infinite does. My expectations are low lol but I hope it surprises me.

As for future games, Horizon 2 and God of War 2 are up there, but I'm not convinced they're coming out this year lol.

How about you, SW? What game(s) are currently on your radar?

All the day one games on GamePass. 😎

Be picking up The Shadow Tactics expansion.

Battlefield 6 and Halo Infinite

Day one:

• Oddworld Soulstorm (PS Plus)
• Mass Effect Legendary Edition (PS4/5)
• TMNT Shredders Revenge (PS5 & Switch)
• Instinction (PS5)

Eventually:

• Outriders (PS5)
• Horizon FW (PS5)
• God of War 2 (PS5)
• Mass Effect 5 (PS5)
• Sifu (PS5)

That's it for now. Looking forward to more announcements.

Short term (releasing soon): Praey for the Gods, Mass Effect: Legendary Edition, Subnautica: Below Zero, Biomutant, Total War: Warhammer III.

Long term: Gotham Knights, Elden Ring, Vampire: The Masquerade - Bloodlines 2 (no expectations, just curious where this flaming train eventually ends up), Age of Empires 4, Kena: Bridge of Spirits (when it jumps off EGS), Horizon Forbidden West (I'm currently 70% certain it will come to PC eventually).

Speculative: Mass Effect 5, XCOM 3, The Elder Scrolls VI, Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order II.

Some day one purchases for me in the near future are:

Switch:

- SaGa Frontier Remastered

- The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword HD

- Mario Golf

Xbox:

- Resident Evil Village

- Mass Effect Trilogy Legendary Edition

- Halo: Infinite

I am beginning to think that Returnal is worth $70.

Surprisingly hardly anything so far. God of War 2 information or a official Yakuza 8 announcement would be nice. I'm not even that excited for RE8.

• STALKER 2
• Deathloop
• Shadow warrior 3
• Atomic Heart
• System Shock
• Ready or not
• Resident Evil village

@SolidGame_basic: didn't realize there is a new world end with you! ill check that out. enjoyed the one on DS

• Resident Evil: Village

Oh yea, it was a cool surprise. And supposed to come out this summer.

1. Age of Empires IV
2. Horizon: Fobidden West
3. Mass Effect: Legendary Collection
4. Biomutant
5. System Shock remake

That's my top 5 I would say.

• Age of Empires IV
• Azure Striker Gunvolt 3
• Freedom Planet 2
• Nier Replicant
• Shin Megami Tensei III Nocturne HD Remaster
• TMNT: Shredder's Revenge
• Bomb Rush Cyberfunk
• Windjammers 2

Finally there are a lot of games on my radar again after what seems like an eternity of nothingness over the past couple/few years.

Knockout City beta is live right now and is a lot of fun. People should really check it out. Anyways though I'll make a list.

Knockout City, The Last Oasis, Rust, Battlefield 6, Mass Effect Legendary, Resident Evil Village, MLB The Show 21, Roller Champions, Medieval Dynasty, State of Decay 3, Wild, Tribes of Midgard, Back 4 Blood, Plan 8, Scavengers, Hazel Sky, Monster Hunter Rise (will probably pick up soon), Avowed, Elden Ring, Far Cry 6, Crimson Desert, Ark 2, Evil Dead, The Day Before, The Long Dark, Green Hell, Ferocious, Hood Outlaws and Legends, Dark Alliance, Chivalry II, Bloodlines 2, Mario Golf, Splatoon 3, Hogwarts Legacy, Kings Bounty 2, CorssfireX, League of Legends Wild Rift, Magic Legends, Warhammer 40k Darktide, and I'm sure there are plenty others that I can't remember or don't have written down. All these games are saved on notepad as games to keep an eye on though.. lol.

I don't really follow games like I used to, or hype them, but I don't know...there's an Elite: Dangerous expansion come out that might be fun.

Otherwise I'm just looking forward to various updates to early-access games I enjoy. B129 for Uboat, the next Star Citizen update, Baldur's Gate 3, and some others.

@SolidGame_basic: Yep 👍

I'm hoping halo infinite turns out ok.

In near future, WH40K: Darktide, whenever that will be.

I also look forward to more CP2077 updates, so I can laugh at their feeble attempts to make that turd smell like a rose.

Fitness Boxing 2 on Switch. I played the demo and liked it. Waiting for an Easter Sale but will probably pick up anyway.

Monster Hunter Rise if it ever hits $49.99 Canadian.

I mean, the big ones like

God of War: Ragnarok

Horizon Zero Dawn: Into the West

Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild 2

Shin Megami Tensei 5

Final Fantasy XVI

Elden Ring

Starfield

But my guilty little hope is for

Ashes of Creation

Monster Hunter Stories 2

SMT: Nocturn r and V

Hollow Knight: Silk Song

Starfield

TES VI

Fallout 5

Disgaea 6

Pokemon BD/Arceus

Zelda SS r

Ratchet & Clank

Kena: BoS

Returnal

Besides the usual big grabs...

• Skyward Sword HD - only played a few hours or so originally.
• Mass Effect Legendary
• ToCS4 - I need to start 3 again, but i'll grab 4 on PC when released.
• Biomutant - on the fence.
• Elden Ring

Don't really stay on top of release dates much, but a few things coming up I think.

Only definite day 1 on the radar is GG Strive. Beta was fun, Discord buds gonna be on it. Finally proper rollback netcode from a Japanese FG dev. Should be a good time.

Damn.. it's only been 6 months lol

Is Guilty Gear approachable for people who suck at fighting games lol?

For sure. I think any fighting game is tbh. They all have an easy enough skill floor, they all have insane skill ceilings. Some more challenging than others up front, but they all take crazy effort to git gud.

I know GG has a rep for being among the crazier games in the 2d space, but it's a bit overblown.

All that being said, Strive actively takes steps towards being a more inviting game and has streamlined a lot of its systems.

Idk, I have no idea what most release plans are. But I know I'm looking forward to AOE4 and Hellblade VR has me all fired up now for Hellblade 2. But I have years of games to play through, so I don't really care... anything I buy in the next year will basically be an impulse buy against my better judgment

Resident Evil Village

Horizon Forbidden West

Death Loop

TMNT (honestly, on 2021 whou would have ever thought this), Mass Effect Trilogy, Silksong and Horizon 2.

Outside those, i'm keeping my eyes on Deathloop and God of War Ragnarok.

Returnal, RE: Village right now.

• Resident Evil 8: Village (PC) version
• Mass Effect Legendary Edition (PC)
• Horizon: Forbidden West (can't decide either PC or PS5)
• Dying Light 2 (PC)
• Halo: Infinite (PC)
• Ratchet & Clank: Rift Apart (PS5 exclusive)
• The Gunk (PC)
• New Pokemon Snap (Switch exclusive)

Those are the one's on the top of my head and I'm looking forward to those games listed above!

@davillain-: what about the new Pokémon game?

Huh? Are you referring to Pokemon Brilliant Diamond/Shining Pearl? I don't know much of it despite its the original Diamond/Pearl DS era which I played back in 2007. Might not bother with those unless the reviews say otherwise to sway me into buying them.

BoTW 2, the new King of Fighters, Returnal, Ratchet and Clank:RA, Halo Infinite, STREET FIGHTER 6!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

@ConanTheStoner I can't see when you're online. Been trying to get a match going in SFV.

I've kind of fallen out of gaming in the recent past, and the only game I'm keeping an eye on is STALKER 2.

Returnal... Love everything Housemarqe does.

@MirkoS77: yeah... Diminishing returns are catching up with the industry. Pew pew pew....

Don't have a radar as such. I wait until stuff is close to release before i worry about any, or look into any further as by then most of the deets are out about the game(s)

Returnal will be a 9/10 and you can quote me on that. If i am wrong, and you do quote me on it, i will tell you that you photoshopped the whole thing, so don't play games with me.

As of now: Shin Megami Tensei V, STALKER 2, and Age of Empires IV.

I'm not as hyped for news games as I used to be.

I was referring to Pokemon Legends: Arceus.

@SolidGame_basic: I'm skipping Arceus.

From what I seen on Returnal, the concept looks interesting but to me, it doesn't look like it earns $70 mark IMO.
