Summer Gamefest hopes and predictions thread

[weirdfeline]

The Last Ronin switching devs is wild. That was probably my favorite reveal aside from the Fortnite trailer, I kinda stopped paying attention after the first hour or so to prepare for the Fortnite event (which was amazing) so I'll probably rewatch it and give more thoughts later.

I expected nothing and got 3. Better than the Sony show by leaps and bounds.

1. Last Ronin - I've wanted a dark and gritty TMNT game since the PS2 days. Really looking forward to this.
2. Final Fantasy 7: Revelation - I'll finally be able to complete the story.
3. RE: Veronica - I'm interested but hesitant given modern times and the villain. How badly will this get butchered?

Finally... a slew of games to look forward too.

Glad to see Resident Evil: Veronica finally show up, even if they did drop the "Code." Capcom, if you screw this up, you instantly go from being one of my favorite devs to joining Square-Enix in the dumpster. I will never buy your games new again, and I will abandon the RE franchise for good.

Gundam: Rogue Orbit: I was interested until I saw the pictures close-up. Why did they go with such a generic realistic art direction in a Gundam game?

Happy to get some updates on Lords of the Fallen II and Mortal Shell II. I'll get both eventually.

Not sure what to think of gen ATLAS, it's very different from Ueda's past works.

Stellar Blade: Bloodrain: Hmmm... I'll be keeping a careful eye on this. Not thrilled with how they seem to have gone with a much safer design for the new main character. Reserving judgment until I see more.

Monster Hunter Wilds: Ascendance expansion looks cool.

Final Fantasy VII Revelation: At least soon I'll be able to get all 3 FFVIIR games on steam and mod the hell out of them to remove all the trash changes to the story, then stitch what remains back into an actual remake of FFVII.

That was probably the best Summer Gamfest presentation I've ever seen. It was very U shaped for me in terms of it keeping my interest, but I did walk away with more games to get excited about than I thought I would.


Resident Evil: Veronica - This reveal made the whole presentation for me. I'm a massive RE fan and also a huge fan of all the remakes Capcom has been doing since RE2. Code Veronica is probably the RE game that needed a remake the most (the original has some insane design issues that make it very easy to softlock yourself). The trailer was genuinely cool too and I can't wait to see more on this one!


Alien Isolation 2 - This one was an odd one for me to get excited about seeing how I never finished the first game due to getting frustrating with its stealth and hiding mechanics. It at least inspired me to give that first game a go again, mostly because this sequel looks so cool.


Gen Atlas - I've loved all of Studio Ico's games and this game gave me massive Shadow of the Colossus vibes, but obviously with robots and mechs instead. It was niice seeing more of this game after getting that teaser a couple years back.


Mighty Cuphead Adventures - a 16-bit style Cupped game...YES PLEASE! I'm also excited about the announcement that a direct sequel to the main game is in the works as well.


Stellar Blade: Blood Rain - I still need to play the first game, but the trailer for the sequel gave me massive Battle Angel Alita vibes. Unfortunately, most of the discussion around this game seems to revolve around how young the main character's face looks, but as an action game with a cool sci-fi setting, it has my interest.

TMNT Last Ronin and RE Veronica are my big take-aways from this. I hope they do both right. I have confidence in RE Veronica, I just hope they don't cut content like in the RE2 and RE3 remakes. (And here's to hoping we get a RE Zero remake one day.)
