Hyperfunk. the Sequel/Prequel to Bomb Rush Cyberfunk, which itself is basically Jet Set Radio Future 2, because Sega didn't make it, Team Reptile said:

Apologies if "Better than Dead" has already been posted, but I saw this tweet on my TL and thought I should add it here to the thread.

The game looks similar to Bodycam, which is in early access on Steam, or Unrecord, which was recently funded by Tencent and has entered production.

Finally a hyper realistic SINGLE PLAYER FPS. Thanks for the info.

-------------------------

I just started watching this TV show after I saw the gameplay trailer. Even if the game turns out shitty I'm glad I started watching the show!

If this turns out to deliver it could be one of the greatest indie games of all time

This is out tomorrow. I played the demo and really enjoyed. Janky and not exactly a looker, but the gameplay is similar to Parasite Eve and there seems to be a decent bit of content with unlockables and new game plus. If it's under £15 I'll probably bite.

Wicked Seed - 2 Weeks Until Launch! - Steam News

Hey, everyone! It's Ryan, creator of Wicked Seed. Just two short weeks to go until Wicked Seed launches! Even though it's just been a little over a week since my last update, I've been hard at work every day polishing and play testing. Admittedly I haven't been able to get the Hitless...

I'm gonna pick it up tomorrow night then. Should keep me going until Nioh 3.
 
I saw these three trailers today and I wishlisted each:

A more physics-based take on Hotline Miami, a game called Jackal:



A physics-based Knight RPG:



A quirky cooking game mixed with a dungeon crawler:


 
Not an upcoming game per se, but it looks like we're finally gonna get a translation patch for Yakuza Kenzan! 🥳

For those who don't know, Yakuza Kenzan! was the first game released in the Yakuza ps3 engine, before Yakuza 3. It's the greatest samurai game ever made, in my opinion. Also it's never been released in the west, and apparently even if they did remake it they'd have to modify the story for stupid reasons? If you wanted to play it before now you had to have youtube videos and guides open and switch back and forth, or use google translate on screenshots, which isn't so fun. So this is a big deal :pie_open_mouth: .

It's also got one of the best intros for any game ever

You know what I like about this thread?

Some of you are crazy and must be checking out Steam new and upcoming often and not just popular. Scrolling down that list like sifting for gold in muddy water.

I am also that crazy. I respect that kind of crazy.

People want to see truly bad or incomprehensible games? Check out new releases/upcoming and it is a wacky ride.

But.... diamonds are found and this thread is awesome for that.

EDIT:

I kind of want a thread on Gaf for weirdest indie games on steam or cartoonishly bad asset flips.

Oh, one more

Mortal Crux -



Was reminded of this after seeing the discussion about a new ARPG called Darkhaven. I thought Mortal Crux was being even more ambitious.

Monster Hunter Stories 3 has leapt up my anticipated list. I need to play the first two games so by time I get to it I doubt I will pay full price but it looks excellent
 
Speedball just came out. Rebellion handled the remake. I am console pleb but I will try to post the Steam link for you.

Project Shadowglass actually looks pretty interesting, especially if it leans more into atmosphere and unique mechanics instead of trying to compete directly with big AAA releases. I'm always more excited about these smaller or lesser-known projects because they usually take more creative risks. Not everything has to be massive in scope to be memorable. Sometimes tighter design and a strong concept are enough. When I'm not following indie trailers or upcoming niche releases, I also switch things up with lighter online entertainment, and while browsing options I found casino dépôt minimum 1 euro, which provides information about online casinos, minimum deposit options, and what kind of games and bonuses they offer. It's a totally different style of gaming, but it's nice for short sessions between bigger titles.

I hadn't heard of Project Shadowglass before, but that trailer definitely caught my attention. I like the darker tone and the slower pacing it seems to have. It feels like one of those games that might not get huge marketing, but could build a strong following if the gameplay supports the concept. I'm personally keeping an eye on a couple of smaller indie RPGs as well, since those often surprise me more than the big mainstream releases. One actual upcoming title I'm really looking forward to is The Witcher 4. Even though details are still limited, I'm excited to see how CD Projekt evolves the series, especially in terms of storytelling and world design. If it keeps the strong character writing and meaningful choices the franchise is known for, it could easily become one of the standout RPGs of the next few years.

Check out The Blood of Dawnwalker its being made by few OGs which parted ways with CDPR and founded their own studio Rebel Wolves. It's not exactly small game so a few of forum users may have already that title in wishlist. It's AA game and they listen to feedback on socials.
Part II of the gameplay looks much more improved than Part I.

Older footage:




Steam page:

Some of the these devs worked on Blood and Wine expansion plus they have managed to bring one of composers for BaW to work on The Blood of Dawnwalker OST:


Piotr Musial.

Here is his OST for BaW:


If you're keeping eye on The Witcher 4, it's worth to keep this one in wishlist also if you haven't already.

Every game I post has a demo up on Steam I believe (or if it's not available it was available previously as I've 100% played a demo of all four).

Road To Vostok
This game is basically single player Escape From Tarkov but takes place in a zone on the Finnish-Russian border. Don't judge the game by the terrible art in the trailer thumbnail.


Out of Action
This is essentially a Ghost in the Shell multiplayer shooter.



Parasite Mutant
Indie Parasite Eve. I'll throw up a video from one of my favorite YouTubers below as well.



InKONBINI
You run a Japanese convenience store (Konbini)


Edit: Cleaned up my post a bit.

Just saw this randomly, looks rad. There are new dev videos, just not full trailers like this old one.
