[Half Life 3 (HL3) doesn’t count as we already know that game is still a long way off from coming out. Like another 5 or more years.]

    The Pokémon main line games. I really hope to see they’ll improve and maybe even reach a somewhat okay level of quality. But let’s be honest, they’ll probably fuck up big time with the next generation as well

      The things I care about have been getting stripped away every game, and they’re selling more copies than ever. I suspect the next mainline game will be the first time since the Gold/Silver remakes that I actively choose to not buy a mainline Pokemon game.

      Legends, on the other hand…

        I stopped after sword and shield. They are so bad and uninspired I couldn’t bring myself to play anymore

          Playing Palworld and Temtem has really shown a light on how lazy, uninspired and bland the modern Pokémon games are.

          Nintendo is sueing Pocketpair out of embarrassment.

      I genuinely had heard plenty of praise that I checked it out more and really liked what I saw in gameplay. I was going to wait till it went on 25% off then pick it up. Then Xbox Game Studios had the brain dead idea to shut down the whole studio that made one of the best new IPs in recent years. After hearing about this, I decided right there that I wasn’t going to buy it ever.

        That’s why “Fuck Micro$oft”. I bought it but didn’t see the news until a few weeks when I was checking about the game and if they were planning a sequel or what. It’s a great game IMO but the studio got shut down because Micro$oft fucking sucks

    Vampire masquerade bloodlines…yes I know they’re working on one, but they’ve been working on it for years now and it’s been bouncing around to different devs, which just seem to either try and make it something else or deviate from the original completely.

    Bushido Blade.

    All fighting games are boring in comparison to the first of this franchise. Could literally remaster the first one and change nothing but the graphics and it would be a hit.

    Treasures of the deep as well. That one needs a controller scheme rework for sure.

      I’ve been saying this for YEARS.

      I had high hopes for Hellish Quart; But it just didn’t quite get there for me. It’s been a long time since I played it. Not sure if they’ve added more polish since then…

    Hollow Knight

    I know Team Cherry is working on it, but I’m still pumped for when they’re ready to release it.

    Sonic Frontiers 2 or another Sonic game with the Frontiers formula.

    The first game was really good and promising. Technical problems aside, the experiment the Sonic Team did (the open zones) worked great and was the best part of the game. After the success of Shadow Generations, which also implemented the Frontiers formula on an smaller scale, I’m pretty sure the next big game would be way past Amazing.

      I thought Shadow Generations was just a rerelease or remaster of Sonic Generations but with Shadow content added.

      Have I been mistaken and missing out on new Sonic?

        It is both! A rerelease and a new game put together. The Shadow part wasn’t just “new content”, it was a whole independent story with new game mechanics and such. It was weird but it worked out pretty well.

        I have the idea that it was a way for the Sonic Team to test again the Frontiers formula without remaking all Frontiers the ground up. They were like: “Does the people really REALLY liked this formula?”, and after the success they’ll be like"Yep, they like it. Let’s go for it".

    Endless Ocean: Blue World. I got Endless Ocean: Luminous for Christmas and it is so half-assed and soulless that playing it actually raises my stress level instead of reducing it. My disappointment is truly immeasurable. It turns into anger because there are decisions that are just so objectively bad that they clearly knew were bad but just didn’t care.

    Little Big Adventure 3.

    Once I thought it was just as far away as Half Life 3, but after 27 years of inactivity they started making a remake of LBA 1. Perhaps it will lead to a remake of LBA 2 and the eventually LBA 3.

    I’m not exactly expecting a sequel, but something in the Freelancer universe. Best spaceflight-ship-action combat game ever made, but never got the love it deserves… Even the story was good and entertaining.

    Today all X3 spaceflight-ship are either a pain in the ass where you have to be an engineer to even get started, or need to grind 1000 hours to even begin to have “fun”. I miss freelancer’s simplicity and space fights…

      Loved Freelancer! Did you try the Everspace games? They’re the closest to a spiritual successor that I’ve played.

        Yeaaah I tried the last one, while It comes close and was fun to play, I missed the free universe roaming even if it was mostly empty (like the real deal xD).

      The first time splitters was one of my favorite games ever. I don’t remember why, but the second one I didn’t like nearly as much.
