The Upcoming Games thread
« on: July 01, 2015, 09:27:40 am »
Couldn't find a thread for this, but I thought it would be fun to have a thread about games you're looking forward to or are just curious about.

Anna's Quest - Out tomorrow on PC, this title is a small adventure game gorgeously digitally drawn in the style of a Saturday morning cartoon. The story is in the style of a fairy tale and is about a little girl called Anna who is seeking help for her sick grandfather. Despite warnings about heading into the forest, Anna is caught by an evil witch who seeks a power that Anna unknowingly has: https://youtu.be/QG_dZPttQH0

The Whispered World 2: Silence - out early next year, The Whispered world 2 is a follow up to the beautifully crafted first installment that followed Sadwick. Little is known about this yet, but the 2.5D graphics looks great: https://youtu.be/hxkz2mujh9A

Shenmue lll - Do I need to say?

Yooka-Laylee - Made by the team who made Rare famous. Can't wait: https://youtu.be/329VH0WW4_k

Stasis - A isometric point 'n' click game about a man who wakes up on a spaceship to find the ship has been under attack by something. You explore the ship to look for your family and see what happened: https://youtu.be/61ILFgiYaRU

There's more, but I'll leave it short for now :)

Everyone...a spiritual successor to P.T is in the works: https://youtu.be/__i_LoRKhJ0

Note: I'm not being held responsible for any new underwear required after watching that video.

Really looking forward to this game. Old school run n' gun game in the style of 1930's cartoons.

Weird that someone made a spiritual successor to a PT tech demo that would have probably been nothing like the actual game. Talk about cashing in on drama.

True, but on the plus side, we can see elements of mechanics in that video, so it seems as though they're serious about making it. The graphics look incredible too. It was all made with unreal 4 and (no joke) a studio of only six! That, is crazy.

Looking at the description, they never mention P.T. there at least. Seems more like a game inspired by it, which is fine.

So, it seems when SEGA threw out their old rulebook on how to treat fans, Konami picked it up: http://m.neogaf.com/showthread.php?t=1090059 lol

At least VF:5 FS became a reality at the same time that they release pachinkos from that IP.

I don't care about licensed pachinko machines really but are people goign to pretend that a Silent Hills game made by Kojima would have been a good decision by the company? Metal Gear Solid games have proven themselves high sellers but Silent Hill has never sold past 2 million, not that I don't know. If its true MGSV had 80 million sunk to it since April, I totally see why they don't wanna make Silent Hills with Kojima.

Pardon my ignorance, but beyond MGS, what do Konami even have anymore that's relevant? I know they make/made dance games, but after that I'm left scratching my head.

Loosing Kojima doesn't bother me as I was never that interested in his games. Sure, they were fun, but for me they were never anything to get hyped about. The bigger issue I feel is losing another studio to the low cost, high reward area of the industry.
