Starfield.

Bethesda's games also have legs longer than just about everything, so it'll be played for years to come.

After that I'd say Diablo 4 has that potential.

 

[Gudji]

Zelda of course.

 

[Ceadeus]

It's not a game but Psvr2 is pretty major for me. I just can't wait to compare the headset with the quest 2 and have tons of fun with it. February can't come soon enough!!

For the masses? Zelda. You're talking about people who barely buy video games buying Zelda. I would say Harry Potter, but a HP game isn't like a HP movie or book. I wish we'd get a lot games all at once so a bad review didn't stick out like a sore thumb. That's the worst part to a game's release IMO. Even if it could save you some money. It still sucks to have something you're anticipating get awful reviews before it releases.

I don't get it either, generation zero, just cause 4 and the hype train is at full steam ahead for potter.

It's a different developer. There is another Avalanche, former subsidiary of Disney.

I would probably say Hogwarts Legacy, everyone seems pretty excited for it, myself included and I wouldn't even say I am a harry potter fan

 

[Efren is G.O.A.T.]

I think Forspoken is a major new IP from SE but I don't think it will perform well but if we're talking about games that will amaze people, I would say RE4 Remake


What's crazy though is that this year only Elden Ring and God of War were in the race for game of the year but in 2023, I think it's safe to presume that RE4 Remake, Zelda Tears of the Kingdom, Final Fantasy XVi and Starfield could all make the nominees list based on their prestige around them unless they turn out to be shit. What a year it will be.

 

[Punished Miku]

Probably Zelda in May. That's going to be an earthquake.

That's my rough list below of games with actual dates I'm likely getting. The 3 in bold are major games everyone will notice.

• Jan 20th - Fire Emblem Engage
• Feb 14th - Wanted: Dead
• Feb 21st - Atomic Heart
• Feb 24th - Octopath Traveler 2
• Mar 3rd - Wo Long
• Mar 24th - Resident Evil 4
• May 12th - The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom
• June 2nd - Diablo IV
• June 22nd - Final Fantasy XVI

Zelda and Starfield

Oh my sweet summer child. No, generation zero is good, but you have the wrong studio lmao it's worse. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Avalanche_Software

 

[Guilty_AI]

Your mom Baldurs Gate 3 for me, but Forspoken is releasing january.

 

[deriks]

I guess that Dead Space remake? But not sure if is a major game

If not, there's the Harry Potter game on february, REmake 4 on march and Zelda in may

 

[Hendrick's]

Starfield obviously has the most potential.

Well that's not confusing at all, mental note Avalanche Software != Avalanche Studios. Thanks for getting my shit in order.

But as Ribi said I'm not sure this is much of an improvement as far as previous track record goes.

I would say Hogwarts Legacy but honestly only thing that is stopping me being excited is the game being cross-gen.. I wish the game was made for 8core ryzen cpu/ssd in mind instead of slow jaguar and hdd

 

[OmegaSupreme]

RE4 remake will be yuge

 

[CatLady]

Starfield and Zelda

 

[DGrayson]

I dont play a lot of new games but I am super looking forward to BOTW2 and Hollow Knight 2

 

[kondorBonk]

Huh, I'm genuinely surprised to see such a staggering amount of Hogwarts suggestions. Maybe I wrote that off too early.

 

[MiguelItUp]

Dead Space Remake in January, and then Hogwart's Legacy in February. I feel like the latter will review better.

 

[nial]

Hogwarts Legacy

Oh, 9s and 10s, probably not, but it should review well and be very popular.

It'll be getting 5s and 6s, but not because it won't be good. You know what I mean...

 

[AJUMP23]

TLOZ Tears of the Kingdom.

 

[EverydayBeast]

Sony's desire to beat Microsoft will clearly produce last of us 3, uncharted 5, horizon 3, Spider-Man 3, wolverine I'm sure Microsoft fanboys despise this post.

 

[PlayedStation]

First big game of 2023 is Hogwarts Legacy.
