Fable 4 if it’s getting a mention. It’s the only game I’m actually excited for any more.
The only games I truly enjoyed these days have been unexpected indie hits that are impossible to predict, you don’t know theyre coming or good until they happen.
I don’t know why Fable is immune to my thickening shield of apathy, but basically every other game I see I just think “yeah it looks pretty but I’m pretty sure I played it 20 times before”
Sadly, I am too caught up in the idea of it being a Pinnochio souls-like to ever take that game seriously. All power to the people that like it, however
I get that - it was the same thing for me. It’s barely noticeable, though, unless you’re very familiar with the novel and the Disney adaptation. It’s a very tasteful homage to the novel by Carlo Collodi, but you don’t need to have read the novel to appreciate the game for what it is. It’s essentially Bloodborne 2 for what it’s worth. Truly amazing game.
Might just be a tad biased :D But if you keep an open mind about it and that’s all that’s keeping you from giving it a try, I promise you - you won’t regret trying it. There should still be a demo for the game if you’re up for it. :)
It is much more than just Pinocchio’s story. Dorothy makes an appearance and there are hints of Red Riding Hood, Sleeping Beauty, Beauty & the Beast and a few others are alluded to throughout the game if you pay close attention.
The story also takes after the older rendition of the tale that is much more mature in its representation of themes. Think of it like a “Brothers Grimm” version instead of the watered down Disney edition.
Im relying on sts2 to break the grip for me. I kinda wanna be “STS2 sucks, it’s not as good as the original they ruined it somehow. Also why would I ever bother playing STS when 2 is out? Better find something else to obsess over”
Same here, either Half-Life 3 or Portal 3 would be the dream (why not both in a fancy new Orange Box?)
Hell, a non-VR version of Alyx would make me happy! I do have access to a headset, but I get very sick very fast when I use it. Pounding headaches, nausea, it’s really bad 😒
I had no idea it was today so I’m not looking forward to anything in particular. Having just finished Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 it would be amazing news if they had an announcement that they’re intending to release a DLC.
Would also love to see something from Remedy about Control 2 as I love those guys and the Remedy Connected Universe. Well, what I’m really desperate about is Alan Wake 3, but that’s surely not even in pre-production yet (sadly).
Would not mind seeing something from Bloodlines 2 either out of morbid curiosity, but I have no hopes it will actually be good.

You have to keep an eye out for dev diaries on YouTube. Normally there is some advisement for them.
Lies of P: Overture. There’s rumors of a shadow drop happening this week
Edit: It literally just dropped as I typed this out. I’m beyond excited

I’m waiting for Silksong, as usual.
Well, that aged as usual…
Oh well, theres always next event
It was already silently revealed during the Nintendo Direct for the Switch 2.
No joke. Confirmed release for sometime this year.
Fortunately, Silksong’s never missed a release window before.
Half-life 3 launch trailer! /s
Jk, in reality I’d love to see more about the new bond game. Was hoping they’d show more after they showed off the first trailer.
Waiting for slay the spire 2 to halt my production to zero.
Im relying on sts2 to break the grip for me. I kinda wanna be “STS2 sucks, it’s not as good as the original they ruined it somehow. Also why would I ever bother playing STS when 2 is out? Better find something else to obsess over”
Apparently nothing.
Same here, either Half-Life 3 or Portal 3 would be the dream (why not both in a fancy new Orange Box?)

There’s a mod for it
I had no idea it was today so I’m not looking forward to anything in particular. Having just finished Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 it would be amazing news if they had an announcement that they’re intending to release a DLC.

I’m excited for Control 2, but with FBC: Firebreak coming out soon, I don’t think it’s gonna be for 5-6~ years
Control 2 entered full production this year. I don’t think it’ll be more than 3 years unless something goes terribly wrong.
