With 2021 coming to a close, what games are you now looking most forward to?

Post them however you like. No Rules. (bonus points for top 10 or top 5)

Here's mine in a descending top 10 list:
Things can always change, this is just how I'm feeling right now.

10. Starfield

- It's a little weird to be hyped for a game with so little info, but "Skyrim in space" sounds pretty cool.

09. Gran Turismo 7

- Yeah the trees look bad, but that's not what Gran Turismo is about. I hope for a satisfying career mode.

08. Test Drive Unlimited Solar Crown

- New studio developing this so it's hard to say how it will turn out. TDU2 is one of my most favorite games with many features that Forza Horizon is lacking. Excited to see if they can capture the magic of TDU.

07. Marvel's Midnight Suns

- The character models look so good, even the new main character lady. It looks almost ready to play already. Will be fun having all the heroes interacting with each other in conversations.

06. Elden Ring

(blur spoiler for those who don't want to see Elden Ring trailer footage)
- Seeing everyone else going crazy, I've tried to stay chill over Elden Ring. It does look AMAZING though. I mean... I'll check it out when it's ready...nothing to go crazy about here.

05. Project Eve

- She seems nice.

04. A Plague Tale: Requiem

- Love the first game. Now we have a crossbow and a dagger. Can't wait to see how immersive these environments are.

03. Kirby and the Forgotten Land

- Looks like this could beee an amazing 3D Kirby game. It just looks like a pure game for fun and to play with a smile.

02. Final Fantasy XVI

- I'm so ready for another trailer even. Not sure about the combat but it doesn't matter, new Final Fantasy always has something special that you can't get anywhere else.

01. Wanted: Dead

- Some babe with a sword and a gun in an action game. What more is there to ask for? From some of the people who worked on Dead or Alive and Ninja Gaiden. They showed some very early footage that looks rough but already stylish vibes.


Cool song. Good or bad, this looks like a game made just for me.

 

[Hendrick's]

Your #1 is a game I have never heard of. I will have to look at it.

For me right now it's Elden Ring, Starfield, and Space Marine 2.

 

[Decontamination Silo]

Far as I can tell Elden Ring is the last video game being made.

Gabe and Hideo walk toward door. Stop and looks back. Throws keys to Miyazaki: “hey kid, turn the lights off and lock up when you’re done”

 

[Hinedorf]

Horizon Forbidden West, Hogwarts, Elden Ring

 

[Ozzy Onya A2Z]

Too many to list, hyped for at least half a dozen games. Thanks for posting your #1, hadn't heard of it and I loved Ninja Gaiden. It looks sweet on the animation/interaction front though.

 

[Kokoloko85]

1.Elden Ring , God of War Ragnarok, Final Fantasy 16

Stray
Sifu
Kirby
Horizon 2
Gran Turismo 7
Project Triangle
Plague Tale

 

[Matchew]

Starfield and Breath of the Wild 2. Nothing comes close to those two.

 

[Danteyke223]

Crossfire X, because anything Remedy makes (or Sam Lake writes) is Gold in my eyes.
Elden Ring, got into the Closed Beta, it was fun.
Starfield because at least it can't be a bigger scam than Star Citizen

 

[Lognor]

Botw2
Starfield
Elden ring
Splatoon 3


If metroid prime 4 (lol) or xenoblade 3 make it next year they'll be in the list too

 

[tommib]

Elden Ring and GT7. Couldn’t care less about anything other that’s going to be released.

Edit: forgot Bayonetta 3!

 

[SyberWolf]

(not in a specific order, i want to play all these equally as much.)

Horizon Forbidden West
Gran Turismo 7
Elden Ring
God of War Ragnarok
Dying light 2
Starfield
Bayonetta 3
Final Fantasy XVI
Stranger of Paradise: Final Fantasy Origin
Batman Gotham Knights

 

[Markio128]

In no particular order (except for GT7) my most anticipated games of 2022 are:

1. GT7
2. Horizon FW
3. Elden Ring
4. GOW 2
5. Starfield
6. FF16
7. BOTW2
8. Hogwarts

If all of the above games are released next year, then I’ll be a very happy gamer - the 2 I’m unsure will make 2022 are FF16 and Hogwarts.

 

[EverydayBeast]

I think Final Fantasy 7 Part 2. I’ll go with that because at least we know part 1 is AAA.

 

[Danjin44]

For now.

 

[ACESHIGH]

From the top of my head and in no particular order. Taking into account that I only game on PC:

Elden Ring
System Shock Remake
RE4 HD Project
God of War
Thymesia
Stellaris
Batman Gotham Knights
Project Mara
Vigil
PC ports from Sony in the 2nd half of the year (Spiderman? TloU? Ghost? the ever ellusive Bloodborne?)

Horizon Forbidden West
God of War 2
Hogwarts
BOTW2
Starfield

Next year is looking pretty decent so far.

 

[ReBurn]

I'm not hyped for anything, which is kind of sad. But I'm really hoping that Starfield is good. I'm also looking forward to some Star Wars games.

 

[Ebidramon]

For now.

This post reminds of my childhood when I used to buy games primarily based on how much I like cover.

 

[Tschumi]

Uhm.

Horizon fw. Elden Ring. GT7. The Little Devil inside. I think.

The trees don't look bad, don't water down your opinions to avoid flames from people who would say a photograph looks bad if they were told it's a title from their opposing system.

 

[Danjin44]

This post reminds of my childhood when I used to buy games primarily based on how much I like cover.

They have cool covers but I chose those game based how I like the actual game itself.

“That photo of the Empire State Building is really cool”

“Yeah, can you believe i took it with a cross gen camera?”

“oh well…. Yeah, i see that its a little distorted around the edges. The lighting is off and its actually now very obvious the background is flat and..”

 

[JLB]

top 5

1. Starfield
2. Any extentions/dlc for halo infinite campaign.
3. hellblade 2
4. Forza Motorsport
5. The Last Night (/s)

 

[PlayedStation]

Starfield, Horizon, God of War 2, suicide Squad, hogwarts legacy, system shock, kirby, redfall, BOTW2, Stalker 2. Dying Light 2, Modern warfare 2. There are undoubtedly some I'm forgetting. 2022 will be amazing.

 

[Y0ssarian]

Elden Ring, Starfield, Avowed, Everwild, Fable

 

[Arsic]

Elden Ring
Final fantasy 16
Diablo 4

Those are the only 3 must plays for me. Everything and anything else is just bonus goods to fill the time between.

Gran Turismo 7
God of War: Ragnarok
Elden Ring
Horizon: Forbidden West
Sifu
Stray
Starfield

[PlayedStation]

I see Modern Warfare 2 is getting overlooked but will probably be purchased by most here.

 

[Vagswarm]

Starfield and Metroid Prime 4 are the ones that really stand out for me, but they're both a long ways off. I like the darker approach being taken with Final Fantasy XVI, and Avowed because it's an Obsidian RPG.

Diablo IV is still up in the air. Not only did they lose the original Diablo teams, but the lead director who came up with a lot of the ideas for Diablo IV left during the recent controversy. Sounds like that's not coming out next year either, lol.

 

[Ceadeus]

Avowed!

 

[KingGhidorah]

Elden Ring
BOTW2 <--- though I think this will get pushed to 2023
Bayonetta 3
Kirby: FL
MH Rise: Sunbreak

 

[pqueue]

Dying Light 2 PC
Starfield PC
God of War PC
Uncharted Collection PC

 

[JimmyRustler]

Hyped? Only Starfield. It's the main reason I just bought the Series X.

May also buy Elder Ring depending on how different it is to Souls. Have crazy Souls fatigue and the gameplay I've seen looked like Dark Souls 4.

 

[Gameplaylover]

Hogwarts, Stalker 2, Starfield, Dying Light 2, Gotham Knights and Hellblade 2.

 

[Robb]

BotW2 is my most anticipated, but I’m looking forward to:
Splatoon 3
Starfield
Redfall
Bayonetta 3
Metroid Prime 4
Hellblade 2
Avowed
The Outer Worlds 2
Horizon FW
Fable
GoW 2
A Plague Tale: Requiem
Etc.

There’s so much good stuff on the horizon.

 

[Inviusx]

Gran Turismo 7

Maybe Elden Ring. Another year of suffering for PS5 unless you're into their cinematic third person games.

 

[Airbus Jr]

Horizon Forbidden West

 

[Raven117]

Elden Ring.

GT7
Starfield.

im sure a few others. But Elden ring is pretty huge.

 

[darth.shrimp]

Space Marine2
BOTW2
Darktide

That's about it.

 

[Utherellus]

Starfield and nothing more honestly. Imo nothing stands close to the scale of this IP.

I just know it will be another industry phenomenon, despite bugs and traditional Bethesda stuff. Oh boy it will eat my life.

Test Drive Solar Crown tingles my TDU nostalgy a bit tho.

 

[reksveks]

For 2022

Project Triangle Strategy
AI Somnium Files sequel
Starfield
Planet of Lana
Sifu
Plagues Tail Requiem
Stray*
Somerville
Replaced
Tunic

 

[SpiceRacz]

I'm looking forward to the game of the generation.
