Just about time to dive into a particularly heavy season of games and I'd like to see what everyone is excited for at this point as we've had a number of delays and date confirmations over the past few months.
Top Hype - Definitely my most anticipated games.
Ori and the Will of the Wisps
Resident Evil 3 Remake
Final Fantasy 7
Cyberpunk 2077
Mid Hype - Still pretty excited for these ones.
Doom Eternal
Dying Light 2
The Last of Us 2
Ghosts of Tsushima
Low Hype - Ones I will definitely play this year, but might not be at release.
Animal Crossing
Nioh 2
Maneater
Marvel Avengers
Hype - Can't go full on with these till I see more and have actual confirmed dates.
Halo Infinite
Xenoblade Chronicles: Definitive Edition
Elden Ring
Tales of Arise
Godfall
-
I've been more focused on playing what I already own and cleared my wish list.
I'll be pre-ordering Animal Crossing: New Horizons and probably nothing else this year.
Dreams already released but will be the next 2020 game I buy.
I'll eventually play The Last of Us Part II, Ghost of Tsushima, Cyberpunk 2077 and Watch Dogs Legion. I might just wait and play PS5 versions though.
-
Ori is the only game on my radar, but I've yet to get the first one. So that's on the back burner. Also Doom Eternal, as long as it doesn't turn out to be an online game.

Games I Want:
Tales of Arise (I collect Tales games, so yea)
VtM: Bloodlines 2 (I mean, duh... Back when vampires were cool and didn't sparkle)
Last of Us 2 (I already predicted exactly how the story is going to go and I still want to play it. Naughty Dog owns my soul)
Psychonauts 2 (I need my LSD)
Games I Hate Myself For Wanting
Final Fantasy 7 Remake (We've been over-saturated with this game for too long. Dammit, I have it pre-ordered. Dammit!)
Half-Life: Alyx (I don't trust it, plus VR gives me a headache. But I feel like enough game sales might win us the fabled Half-Life 3, so I'm in)
Animal Crossing: New Horizons (I honestly shouldn't be buying this cute drug. I'm in recovery. But awwwww, their adorable!)
Trials of Mana (Fine, I'll give them one last chance to make a good Mana game.)
Games I'm Curious Enough About to Maybe Buy
Wasteland 3 (Should I play the other two first?)
Marvels Avengers (The latest gameplay trailer got me interested. Ms. Marvel!)
Little Nightmares 2 (Gnomes are good for fiber)
Oddworld: Soulstorm (I miss this series. Glad it's coming back)

Games I Want:
Tales of Arise (I collect Tales games, so yea)
I know nothing about this series and I only tried to play a little bit of Berseria with Rule 63 Guts from Berserk, but Arise looks gorgeous and that's the biggest draw of it for me. Normally I can kinda just pass over a lot of these anime styled games, especially long running ones, but right away I was pretty interested to check it out based on the visuals and action which is pretty notable for me. I love anime, but a lot of anime styled games come across kinda...samey...or don't feel like the gameplay is there to keep me engaged, so I'm hoping to like this one.

Some Tales games are better than others, don't let graphics fool you. Zestiria looks gorgeous, but it's gameplay is kinda dull. Meanwhile Innocence is probably my favorite game in the franchise. We'll see if Arise impresses me.

My 2020 is kind of in a place of limbo as I wait for news on the PS5. I've been saving for PS5 the last few months anticipating a $500 price tag, but there are talks of potentially two different PS5s being released at the same time. Not sure what that might mean for pricing.
So far this year I've already bought The Division 2 for PS4 when it was on sale for like $5.
Anyway... I'm definitely getting the following:
- RE3 Remake
- FF7 Remake
- Streets of Rage 4
- Ghost of Tsushima
Normally, I wouldn't hesitate on preordering and picking up an awesome looking Resident Evil, but I've found that my taste has changed drastically since the series started, and I'm simply not that into survival horror games anymore. I currently have RE3 Remake preordered but after trying out the FF7 Remake demo... and with them releasing a week apart.... I'm thinking of getting FF7 Remake first and then getting RE3 Remake after a price drop.
As for Streets of Rage 4, I'm hoping to see a physical edition on PS4. Even cooler would be if Sega released a Complete series version of the game as maybe a collector's edition. Put the first three games on the disc with it. That would be pretty awesome.
Lastly, Ghost of Tsushima looks potentially incredible. I'd buy it on PS4, but I'm hoping that there will be a slightly more advanced PS5 version released with the launch of the new system. I know PS5 is confirmed to be PS4 backwards compatible, but having a definitive edition specifically for PS5 would be pretty awesome depending on what was included.
That's basically it for now.
-
I'm honestly not excited for anything.
I imagine I'll want to play Ghost of Tsushima and Cyberpunk 2077 at some point but don't feel compelled to buy them day one or in a rush to play them.
Other than those two I'm really not bothered about any other upcoming releases.
Kinda just waiting on the PS5 and Xbox Series X launch line up reveals at this point I guess.
-
Basically, there are three games I'm looking forward to play this year:
- Resident Evil 3
- Panzer Dragoon
- Streets of Rage 4
However, as always, I'll only be purchasing the latter 2 titles when (and if) they receive a physical release...
-
Trials of Mana is at the top of my list, with Tales of Arise and Ghosts of Tsushima trailing behind.
I'll wait until an inevitable price drop for the remake of FFVII. The demo was cool, but it didn't sell me on it.

- Streets of Rage 4

Has Streets of Rage 4 been confirmed as digital only? :'(

No, but it's unfortunately getting a limited print release from LRG instead of a real publisher.
I'm actually not hyped for much of anything. I've got a couple of things preordered mostly for my wife.
Things I have preordered for me are Elden Ring (Who knows when that's coming out) and Prinny 1*2 Reloaded. There are other things I'm interested in, but nothing that's a day one purchase.
-
I was initially gonna hold off on Nioh 2 and Animal Crossing, because Doom Eternal is coming along with the stuff in April, but with how things are right now, I think having some extra entertainment on hand could be a good thing lol Plus Ori and the Will of the Wips on Game Pass for PC ended up having a bad audio issue so I haven't been playing that at all.
-
At the moment the three 2020 games I'm most excited about are Doom Eternal, Resident Evil 3, and Final Fantasy 7. I imagine as it gets closer to the fall I'll start getting pumped for Cyberpunk 2077, but at the moment its being overshadowed by the three previously mentioned games.
Sadly with E3 being cancelled I'm hoping there will be announcements of other amazing titles releasing this year. I'm still really bummed about it not happening :/

I think most companies are just gonna pull a Nintendo Direct to announce their new games, doing some streamed event online with a pre-made video. I'm also gonna miss E3, I know there are issues with it, but getting those reveals and audience reactions, all done within a few specific days, it really is "Video Game Christmas" and I always really love keeping up with the news.

I was looking forward to buying these two new Wii U physical releases:

&

I have eventually not bought them because of the pandemic.

We are through the first half of the year, with confirmations of more game releases and some other announcements, we are through the big spring season, so what else are people looking forward too?
These ones are currently at the top of my list...
Ghosts of Tsushima - After the gameplay reveal, it's basically what I was expecting it to be, but man it looks good, on that level of like Horizon Zero Dawn, Breath of the Wild, etc...I'm hoping to get pretty into it.
Cyberpunk 2077 - This is probably the only other game releasing this year that could beat Final Fantasy 7 Remake for Game of the Year.
These are the ones I'm interested in and hoping are good...
Last of Us 2 - While I didn't love the first game, the game looks really good and I'm sure will be a well told narrative (Definitely don't put spoilers here, that would be bad), I just hope the gameplay I like more than the first and it's releasing on my birthday.
Marvel Avengers - Still don't have any new details on the game, but I am pretty hopeful for the game as I think the setup could be a lot of fun, being like the Ultimate Alliance series with co-op action, but maybe better gameplay and not top down.
Halo Infinite - The rumors is that this will be open world of some sort, which I'd be super into, but with nothing to go on, I can't say much for it, though I'll be playing it on PC.
And these ones are I might check out, but aren't big on my list yet...
Paper Mario: The Origami King - I've never been a fan of the series, I think I only ever played the first one on N64, but I liked the visuals of this one and if it's a fun RPG, I'm into check it out.
Godfall - There isn't a lot to go on with the game, but I really dig the fantasy art style and hoping it's fun to play.
Assassin's Creed: Vahalla - I'm really only interested in this for the setting, but not sure if I'll get it or not. I have Odyssey, but I'm not really loving it. I'm usually into an open world game, but the game just feels kinda empty and lacking to me, I kept struggling to find reasons to keep playing so I only have 7 hours in the game.
