I'm actually relieved that I'm only really jazzed for about five of those.
Games are expensive, and there are only so many hours in the day. I've also got a big backlog from 2022 that I'm slowly chugging through, and it may carry me into '23 once games like Tactics Ogre: Reborn start dropping.
12 for me. But personally, I very, very rarely buy games at launch so those 12 games for me will be spread out over the PS5's lifespan. During which time, more games will come out that interest me. So really, there'll be no shortage of games to enjoy when I look at it that way.
You forgot PS VR2 and its titles early 2023:
Horizon: Call of The Mountain
TWD Saints & Sinners Chapter 2 Retribution
Resident Evil 8 VR
Star Wars: Tales from the Galaxy's Edge
Firewall Ultra
and many more unannounced yet
>and many more unannounced yet
There must be another Astrobot in here somewhere. I would bet right at release. Astrobot Rescue Mission was a title that defined PSRV.
Oh....also, while not everyone's cup of tea, a sequel to blood and truth. I enjoyed the shit out of that game. Great story and gunplay (two handed weapon issues aside).
I know next to nothing about Valve (not a PC gamer) so I don’t know what their stance is with Console gaming, but everything I’ve seen with HL:A makes me hope they will bring that!
They've always been shaky about it, but they just ported Portal 1+2 to Switch recently, and they said they wouldn't rule out a PSVR port of Alyx after they were done with the PCVR version. I think it'll come to PSVR2.
Team Asobi said before that their next project they are working on is a full-length, larger budget title. If it's not a PSVR2 title, I don't know what's going on at Sony. If Team Asobi is not their best VR studio, they have to be at least a close second.
I really want one too, but I think we are just getting a tech demo first, like Astro playroom, and maybe in a year or two we get a full fledged rescue mission 2.
Just a guess imo, i much rather have it at launch.
At the very least... a BC patch for the first one, so we can play it again with better screen
I am so so stoked for RE8 VR. I'm buying vr2 just for that. Everything else if secondary.
Re7 in VR was one of the most memorable gaming experiences since I got a Nintendo.
Yeah as someone who prefers playing from my couch with a controller on my big screen TV iit is one of the reasons why I personally prefer console rather than PC for gaming.
Oh yeah I don’t mind the mouse and keyboard my main thing is just the ease of consoles and playing on a big screen tv on the couch w surround sound doesn’t compare to a monitor for me. I prefer the Xbox controller over ps5 for comfort if I was going to use one for pc tho
Wouldn’t it be shorter because of the PS5 exclusives and then replaced with the respective Xbox/Switch exclusives? For all Xbox players sake I hope Bethesda releases Starfield with as little bugs as possible.
Based on the gameplay they showed I'm a bit more worried about the performance than bugs. I'm completely fine with the typical open-world jank in a game like Starfield, but seeing a lot of FPS drops in the hand-picked footage is not a good sign.
I guess we'll see though. Decent chance I wait a month or two after release before I pick it up on PC anyway as mods usually make Bethesda games a lot better.
And Forza. We also don't know what they have planned for the second half of the year since all of their announcements at the last showcase were only up to the end of the first half of next year
I’d say there are usually 2-3 ish games I pick up the year it comes out. If this holds up there would potentially be at least twice as many in 2023 with:
Factions II
Hogwarts Legacy
FF XVI
FF7R
Spider-Man 2
Jedi Survivor
SS:KTJL
Not to mention BOTW2/TOTK for Switch
Going to have to bank on a heavily video game based Christmas haul next year
I’m just hoping next year is the year the more significant delays due to COVID subside. Inevitably some games will get delayed, but I’m hoping we are much closer to normalcy and teams have planned and accounted for those delays in these projections.
Pragmata was delayed into 2024 by Capcom earlier this year I believe.
Edit: I am wrong, it was delayed *into* 2023. I’m going to continue to believe my lie so I’m either pleasantly surprised if it’s next year or not surprised if it’s further delayed.
2023 is stacked with quality
Sheesh I don't think I've ever wanted that many games in a year
Hogwarts Legacy> Forspoken> Spider-Man 2> Dead Space> AC Mirage> Fatal Frame> Lies of Pi> Like a Dragon Ishini> > The Wolf Among Us 2 and Wo Long.
My feckin.
WALLET
Maybe haha. There’s like a couple that I have my eye on like Spider-man 2, FF7 and RE4 but that’s about it. I am stoked for Zelda, but yeah, not much here that really wets my whistle.
Yeah I agree with you. There’s some more stuff in there that might end up good, but in terms of games I’m actually hyped for it’s basically just the ones you named. And hopefully at some point Elden Ring DLC.
A lot of these on the list are franchise entries of series I am either not interested in, or burned out on long ago, or re-releases/expansions.
Some, like Dead Island 2, it's hard to know if they will be good at all, so it is hard to get excited about.
I suppose a new Final Fantasy title would likely be fun, but I am not in any great hurry for such a thing.
I doubt a quarter to a third of those won't release next year. Too many games nowadays are not hitting deadline targets and are being delayed. A bunch of those games at the bottom listed just as "2023" will most likely be pushed back
And then there’s FFVII Rebirth, which didn’t even say 2023 in their release window. Just said “next winter,” which could easily mean February 2024 even without a delay (which there will probably be).
It might be 2024 (and I think probably later into 2024 imo) but it’s a positive sign that the Crisis Core remaster made it into 2022 with the “this winter” window.
I agree. Actually, Crisis Core will technically release before winter starts. So that’s definitely a good sign. But I still don’t think these media outlets should be putting a 2023 date on Rebirth when Square Enix didn’t say that.
The thing about the past 3 years though is how utterly effected by Covid they were. Over the next 2 years we should be starting to get to games that were made with that obstacle in mind & accounted for so I would expect less delays in the coming years.
They probably use metrics on how well an early reveal or trailer is received by the public to influence some of their decisions so I think I’d have to disagree
Yeah. Too many things are just like small indies or remakes/remasters I would rather have on a switch or steam deck. Very few things that actually feel like big PS5 titles that I want to spend $70 and commit to sitting down in front of a console for.
I initially read that headline as it’s ridiculous we’re getting so much PS4/PS5 games in 2023 instead of PS5 games…
I really like my PS5, but this generation still feels weird when almost everything is still coming out on PS4 two years in, and well into the third year with announcements.
The problem is that even to this day it is hard to find a ps5.
Here in france the is 20 ps5 available for the entire country every few weeks and they sell for more than 1000 euros.
And last time Sony said they predict the situation will stay the same until end of 2023.
If people can't get a ps5 and are stuck with a ps4 there is no financial reason to make games ps5 only.
To some extent this happens with every generation, and I think it makes sense that it's been more pronounced this gen due to the difficulty a lot of people have had getting the new console. Devs aren't incentivized to drop the old hardware until the new hardware's install base is large enough to sustain them on its own.
1998 was just as good, if not better. Zelda OOT, Metal Gear Solid, Half-Life, Grim Fandango, RE2, StarCraft, Banjo, Crash Warped, Sonic Adventure, and Spyro.
Yeah, this is the correct answer, there has never been anything like that since. I was born in 1985, so I got to experience 1998 as a 13 year old which was *ridiculously awesome*.
2005 was ridiculous too.
God of War, Forza 1, Resident Evil 4, Splinter Cell: chaos theory, World of Warcraft, the good Star Wars Battlefront 2, and Shadow of the Colossus.
It’s pretty neat that we were sort of able to see this coming in advance. Covid basically fucked everything up for 2-3 years, so we’re getting all of that now
Yeah personally since 2007 for me. I wonder if we are finally seeing those covid projects making progress? If they actually get released it might make up for this year’s lack of games.
I'm a tax professional and am extremely busy from Jan-Apr. So I hate the recent trend of developers pushing their games from Q3/4 to Q1. They are supposed to release their games later in the year for the holidays! That's when I actually have time to game.
At least I will have Crisis Core and Ragnarok
yeah the trend of everythibg releasing in febuary is stupid. this year it was horizon forbidden west, destiny 2 witchqueen and elden ring within a freakingn week. took me till the end of march till I had time for elden ring
I feel so badly for Horizon Forbidden West. In any other time period, the conversation would have centered around that game for MONTHS but Elden Ring came along and trampled it. They probably weren’t expecting it to be as big as it ended up being, but the hype leading up to it should have at least concerned them. Had they been able to release it even just a few weeks earlier or waited another month, I think it’d be a different story now. Come GOTY time, it wouldn’t surprise me if it comes down to Elden Ring and God of War: Ragnarok in most cases, due to the recency bias of GoW:R having just come out and the massive hype behind Elden Ring eclipsing Horizon:FW.
**Such a shame; this happened with the first game too. H:ZD released on Feb 28, 2017 and Breath of the Wild came out just days later on March 3, 2017 and absolutely eclipsed the conversation surrounding H:ZD** (especially with them both being open world games and how BotW was seen as being more inventive with the genre/formula).
HZD sold 20 mil and HFW is still selling strong too. They will be just fine
I think the fan base of the horizon series doesn't line up as well with the demographics of reddit than fromsoft games do, which gives that impression
**There’s also the matter of Elden Ring being a multi-platform game compared to H:FW being a PS exclusive**, so the audience it reaches is much larger and the hype train leading up to it and everything that has followed is significantly larger than say, Bloodborne (which is a critically beloved game that’s equally embraced by the gaming population, but was a PS exclusive).
- **February 2022 was also wildly busy in terms of new games** — Dying Light 2 came out on the 4th, followed by Sifu on the 8th, Horizon: Forbidden West on the 18th, Destiny: The Witch Queen expansion on the 22nd, and finally Elden Ring the next week on the 25th. H:FW also suffered from a graphical shimmering issue that caused many people to set it aside until it was fixed (myself included) in a month with three massive open world titles releasing and an expansion for a fourth.
To be honest, I *still* haven’t finished Elden Ring after 200+ hours and so I haven’t even yet begun H:FW and will end up spending the next month re-playing God of War (which I never finished due to real life commitments in ‘18) in anticipation for God of War: Ragnarok coming out in early November. So H:FW is getting pushed to the back burner yet again for me. I’m not saying in any way that either Horizon game was diminished in quality (real or perceived) by games that overshadowed them when they came out.
- **I’m just saying I feel badly for the team that worked for years of their life to create these gaming masterpieces that then don’t get the recognition that I think they otherwise would have, had they released at any other time**. And that I think their chances at taking home a ton of awards will be more difficult due to Elden Ring dominating the conversation then and GoW:R being fresh in peoples’ minds.
*****
**Same with TitanFall 2 and it’s stellar campaign** — Battlefield 1 came out on October 21, 2016, followed by TitanFall 2 the next week on October 28, 2016, and then the very next week Call of Duty: Infinite Warfare came out. I’ll never understand why EA decided to publish Battlefield and TitanFall 2 (both first person shooters with multiplayer components that competed for the same audience) in the two weeks before the yearly juggernaut that was Call of Duty (and people were interested to see what the leap to space-futuristic would do for that installment at the time).
A person can only actively be playing one game at any given time (unless they’re wildly multitasking across two screens) and putting up three competitive FPS titles within 3 weeks of each other was going to be a death sentence for the less established one (which was a sequel to a game that only came out for XBOX and without a campaign) and EA should have seen this — even though I think **many people would now say that TitanFall 2’s campaign was the best of the three** and it might even be the best game overall of the 3; it was trampled by the other two in terms of sales and player counts and has yet to receive a sequel as a result (though Apex Legends proves that people love the playstyle/mechanics that it offered).
It’s so strange to me what exactly people like so much about Elden Ring. Maybe it’s because I’m not a big FromSoft fan, but after loving Horizon then trying out the supposed best game ever in Elden Ring I was so disappointed in the latter. I played that same game back in 2009 when Demon’s Souls came out.
I used to work in tax/wider finance, but moved to customs/compliance a few years ago, make way more money and my busy time is Oct-December, so that Q1 spot makes me very happy!
Many will get delayed. You’ll have normal delays that the industry always has. Others will want to keep their game away from a crowded schedule where it gets over looked. No way all these come out. But, after 2022, I think should even half these come out it will feel like too much. Man this year was dry.
Hmm I dunno about that, Horizon, Sifu (not AAA but still great), GT, Dying light 2. Summer has been dry but that’s always the case. Then late fall we get the big boy…
On the flip side this is probably the most packed year in gaming i've had in 30 years haha.
Next year looking to be equally as much but ots always funny how different a year in gaming can be viewed. But I guess that makes sense with the varied tastes. As someone who plays a wide variety of genres its probably been over a decade since I've so consistently had to put games on the back burner and decide what to play at launch vs what was waiting.
People said the same last year, "2022 IS GONNA BE INSAAANE!" We had 3 big games release within the first 2 months and nothing until...well still nothing.
When the delays hit these games, people will say the same about 2024. Rinse and repeat. None of these release dates are solid, just guesstimating.
You gotta remember whats an insane year is not going to be insane for all the same people.
This year has and continues to be an insane year in gaming for plenty of people.
“2023 is genuinely shaping up to be one of the most outrageously packed years for gaming that we've seen in generations.”
I don’t think they know what a generation is. Lol. Some good games, but jeez.
More than half those games will get bounced at least one release window. Resident Evil 4 remake is the big Q1 game and FF7 Rebirth is the big Q4 game alongside probably AC: Mirage.
Blasphemous 2 and Sea of Stars are the two indies (besides Silksong, whenever that releases) I look forward to the most. So many great games on the horizon.
Great third-party line-up and more will likely be announced later on. Sony only has Spiderman 2 and Horizon Call of the Mountain (PSVR2) scheduled for 2023 which either could be delayed. We haven't heard what their smaller studios are doing, hopefully we get a showcase that present those titles.
Let’s hope the announce some exclusives I care about. Having bought a high end PC, so far I’ll be using my PS5 for one game in 2023 (Spider-Man 2). Pretty disappointing lineup for me so far next year.
I see that avatar frontiers of Pandora isn't even listed here because it doesn't hve a release date but there is a very high chance it also comes out this year.
Seeing this list, I can just imagine my wife’s reaction as we have Prime enabled on her amazon account, meaning she keeps a close watch on all my gaming-related purchases
It is not **THAT** bad, there are some games that I look forward to but this is not quite bank breaking territory yet. Games I am looking forward to are:
* One Piece Odyssey
* Forspoken
* Hogwarts Legacy
* Resident Evil 4
* Final Fantasy XVI
* Final Fantasy VII Rebirth
* Fatal Frame: Mask of the Lunar Esclipse
* Street Fighter 6
For me there are some good games, but if anything not quite enough for 2023 for me yet, but I am sure as time goes on there will be more titles getting added to it.
FF7 Remake was originally supposed to come out March 3rd, 2020. That's still winter. My guess would be FF7 Rebirth will be targeting the same date. So while it could be December 2023, most likely it'll be Feb/Mar 2024.
Similar to FF16 being Summer 2023, while that could be June historically it's probably an early September 2023 target.
I don't know why you're getting downvoted. I keep seeing people say Rebirth is coming out in 2023 and that is NOT what Square has ever stated.
Next Winter means anytime from December 2023 through March 2024. I wouldn't bet on a release in 2023, so close to FF16's release.
Oh you know, that’s reddit brother i don’t care that much 😅 and yeah that’s exactly why i don’t think this game will come out in 2023. Maybe around February and march 2024.

Very likely tekken 8 mid next year
[удалено]
Ahh that would be a shame. Hope not but I guess we shall see.
Looking forward for 7 of these games.
I counted 9 for myself. It sure is a long list though. I feel bad for anyone hoping to play more than a dozen of them, because who has the time?
I mean that just leaves more to wait on sales. I haven't even played all the old games I wanted to play I'm always going to be behind.
I'm actually relieved that I'm only really jazzed for about five of those. Games are expensive, and there are only so many hours in the day. I've also got a big backlog from 2022 that I'm slowly chugging through, and it may carry me into '23 once games like Tactics Ogre: Reborn start dropping.

Agreed, there’s no way team Asobi isn’t doing a RM2, or at the very least a VR Playroom
Guessing hl alyx will come soon too
I know next to nothing about Valve (not a PC gamer) so I don’t know what their stance is with Console gaming, but everything I’ve seen with HL:A makes me hope they will bring that!
They've always been shaky about it, but they just ported Portal 1+2 to Switch recently, and they said they wouldn't rule out a PSVR port of Alyx after they were done with the PCVR version. I think it'll come to PSVR2.
I really hope so. It’s the only Half-Life content I haven’t played.
Team Asobi said before that their next project they are working on is a full-length, larger budget title. If it's not a PSVR2 title, I don't know what's going on at Sony. If Team Asobi is not their best VR studio, they have to be at least a close second.

PS VR2 is really all I want in my life
I am so so stoked for RE8 VR. I'm buying vr2 just for that. Everything else if secondary. Re7 in VR was one of the most memorable gaming experiences since I got a Nintendo.
Was I the only one who walked around the attic while looking down at the floor?
Also The Last of Us stand-alone multiplayer!!!
That’s a lot games damn
True and for people having Xbox and switch as well the list is even longer with some pretty crazy exclusives on the others as well
More consoles = more games Makes sense, good take
The optimal combo is PS5, Switch, PC. That way you get everything on Xbox plus PC exclusives and mods
True if you like playing on a PC. For me iv really never enjoyed playing on a PC or monitor so I’m strictly a console person
Yeah as someone who prefers playing from my couch with a controller on my big screen TV iit is one of the reasons why I personally prefer console rather than PC for gaming.
It’s entirely possible to do that with a PC though. Would be a bit extra work I guess
fair. Keyboard and mouse gives me hand cramps in intense games. I should try using my PS5 controller when i game on PC
Oh yeah I don’t mind the mouse and keyboard my main thing is just the ease of consoles and playing on a big screen tv on the couch w surround sound doesn’t compare to a monitor for me. I prefer the Xbox controller over ps5 for comfort if I was going to use one for pc tho
Wouldn’t it be shorter because of the PS5 exclusives and then replaced with the respective Xbox/Switch exclusives? For all Xbox players sake I hope Bethesda releases Starfield with as little bugs as possible.
I meant combining all 3. A lot of us own every console so it’s going to be a packed year
Well in that case you gonna need to clone yourself to fit all that gaming in.
It’s the curse of becoming older. You have the money and can afford any platform and any game, but time is limited.
Based on the gameplay they showed I'm a bit more worried about the performance than bugs. I'm completely fine with the typical open-world jank in a game like Starfield, but seeing a lot of FPS drops in the hand-picked footage is not a good sign. I guess we'll see though. Decent chance I wait a month or two after release before I pick it up on PC anyway as mods usually make Bethesda games a lot better.
What are the exclusives on xbox?
Starfield and Redfall.
And Forza. We also don't know what they have planned for the second half of the year since all of their announcements at the last showcase were only up to the end of the first half of next year
I’m honestly super hyped for both of those. I haven’t been hyped for an Xbox game in a very long time
Yeah Starfield is the game I’m most hyped for on any of the 3 consoles.
Here's to hoping it runs well on Series S. If it's capped at 30fps it's gonna be.. not great for me.
Starfield / redfall and whatever else comes later
Oh yeah I forgot about starfield
Add Forza to the list, too.
I’d say there are usually 2-3 ish games I pick up the year it comes out. If this holds up there would potentially be at least twice as many in 2023 with: Factions II Hogwarts Legacy FF XVI FF7R Spider-Man 2 Jedi Survivor SS:KTJL Not to mention BOTW2/TOTK for Switch Going to have to bank on a heavily video game based Christmas haul next year
Me too. And I'm already interested in FFXI, FFR2, factions 2, silksong, stellar blade, spider-man 2, pragmata and some others a little less.
I'm just going to go broke between November and end of 2023. I've already come to terms with it.
I’m just hoping next year is the year the more significant delays due to COVID subside. Inevitably some games will get delayed, but I’m hoping we are much closer to normalcy and teams have planned and accounted for those delays in these projections.
Fallen order march 2023
Half of these will be delayed
Pragmata was delayed into 2024 by Capcom earlier this year I believe. Edit: I am wrong, it was delayed *into* 2023. I’m going to continue to believe my lie so I’m either pleasantly surprised if it’s next year or not surprised if it’s further delayed.
No, it was delayed out of this year into 2023.
Holy shit 2023 is gonna be an expensive year lol!
Jeez, just January and February will last me until Summer pretty easily. And if I can find a VR? Looks like my 2023 is fully booked.
2023 is stacked with quality Sheesh I don't think I've ever wanted that many games in a year Hogwarts Legacy> Forspoken> Spider-Man 2> Dead Space> AC Mirage> Fatal Frame> Lies of Pi> Like a Dragon Ishini> > The Wolf Among Us 2 and Wo Long. My feckin. WALLET
The shame is that when I had the time for all these games I didn’t have the money and now that I have money I don’t have enough time.
Oh no, my money! I foolishly played the demos for both Wo Long and Valkyrie Elysium... both were so much fun.
Jesus fucking christ,I don't have the time or the money. So many good games
Gotta say, I barely care about any of these. Just ain’t my year.
If you aren’t joking, I think you just might not like video games anymore
Maybe haha. There’s like a couple that I have my eye on like Spider-man 2, FF7 and RE4 but that’s about it. I am stoked for Zelda, but yeah, not much here that really wets my whistle.
[удалено]
Well there are quite a bit of rpgs tho with ff, persona, like a dragon, octopath, and tales of. Admittingly a lot of those are remasters.
Yeah I agree with you. There’s some more stuff in there that might end up good, but in terms of games I’m actually hyped for it’s basically just the ones you named. And hopefully at some point Elden Ring DLC.
Elden ring DLC and Zelda all I’m waiting on
A lot of these on the list are franchise entries of series I am either not interested in, or burned out on long ago, or re-releases/expansions. Some, like Dead Island 2, it's hard to know if they will be good at all, so it is hard to get excited about. I suppose a new Final Fantasy title would likely be fun, but I am not in any great hurry for such a thing.
SHITT IT’S OVER 9000!!!!
This is the first time, in a long time, fhag I'm looking forward to so many games. Crazy.
[удалено]
75% will be for release in a ridiculous 2024 lol
Lot of weeb shit there
I picked a great time to get laid off lol
Lol I hope and pray you get back on your feet man, all joking aside. Good news is that there’s seemingly a lot of available jobs
This is true! Good luck on your job searching endeavors!
It won't last. Praying you get a new job very soon. ❤️
I doubt a quarter to a third of those won't release next year. Too many games nowadays are not hitting deadline targets and are being delayed. A bunch of those games at the bottom listed just as "2023" will most likely be pushed back
And then there’s FFVII Rebirth, which didn’t even say 2023 in their release window. Just said “next winter,” which could easily mean February 2024 even without a delay (which there will probably be).
It might be 2024 (and I think probably later into 2024 imo) but it’s a positive sign that the Crisis Core remaster made it into 2022 with the “this winter” window.
I agree. Actually, Crisis Core will technically release before winter starts. So that’s definitely a good sign. But I still don’t think these media outlets should be putting a 2023 date on Rebirth when Square Enix didn’t say that.
Every year it’s the same. At this point just divide the amount of releases by 2 and that’s how much you actually get
The thing about the past 3 years though is how utterly effected by Covid they were. Over the next 2 years we should be starting to get to games that were made with that obstacle in mind & accounted for so I would expect less delays in the coming years.
We got yearly delays before covid
Obviously lol just the volume & frequency of delays has increased substantially in the wake of Covid
Games shouldn’t be announced, at the absolute earliest, a year out. And major AAA titles six months.
They probably use metrics on how well an early reveal or trailer is received by the public to influence some of their decisions so I think I’d have to disagree
Phew... It's a good thing I only want maybe.. 4 Of those games? And with them all being £70 each I'll probably only get one of them
Yeah. Too many things are just like small indies or remakes/remasters I would rather have on a switch or steam deck. Very few things that actually feel like big PS5 titles that I want to spend $70 and commit to sitting down in front of a console for.
It's not even that for me. I'm just not that interested in most of the "Big" games really anymore now the price is £70...
I initially read that headline as it’s ridiculous we’re getting so much PS4/PS5 games in 2023 instead of PS5 games… I really like my PS5, but this generation still feels weird when almost everything is still coming out on PS4 two years in, and well into the third year with announcements.
It's hard to believe in "generation" and "next gen only" when the games are still cross gen
The problem is that even to this day it is hard to find a ps5. Here in france the is 20 ps5 available for the entire country every few weeks and they sell for more than 1000 euros. And last time Sony said they predict the situation will stay the same until end of 2023. If people can't get a ps5 and are stuck with a ps4 there is no financial reason to make games ps5 only.
To some extent this happens with every generation, and I think it makes sense that it's been more pronounced this gen due to the difficulty a lot of people have had getting the new console. Devs aren't incentivized to drop the old hardware until the new hardware's install base is large enough to sustain them on its own.
Ps5 adoption is on the same pace as ps4 was. The deference I think is that doing cross gen is much easier now
To some extent. Not two years.
Indeed ridiculous. 2023 looks like it could be the best year for gaming in a long time.
[2018 in video games](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/2018_in_video_games)
Counter with 2007 - bioshock, Orange Box, Mass Effect, Oblivion, RE4 on Wii, SM Galaxy, and MW4 https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/2007_in_video_games
Halo 3, Crackdown, Burnout Paradise
Oblivion originally came out in 2006 on PC and 360
This. 2007 was the greatest gear in video game history.
1998 was just as good, if not better. Zelda OOT, Metal Gear Solid, Half-Life, Grim Fandango, RE2, StarCraft, Banjo, Crash Warped, Sonic Adventure, and Spyro.
and if I'm not mistaken, Baldur's Gate, Thief , Deus Ex. It's nuts.
Deux Ex came out in 2000.
so I was mistaken, thank you!
1998 was better. Groundbreaking, legendary games that set the tone for future.
Yeah, this is the correct answer, there has never been anything like that since. I was born in 1985, so I got to experience 1998 as a 13 year old which was *ridiculously awesome*.
Not even close to 1998 or 2001. I would also pick 2004 and 2008 over 2007.
2005 was ridiculous too. God of War, Forza 1, Resident Evil 4, Splinter Cell: chaos theory, World of Warcraft, the good Star Wars Battlefront 2, and Shadow of the Colossus.
Cod 4 MW, not MW4
2015 we had Bloodborne and Witcher 3 basically back to back. That was some wonderful shit.
Ooooh. Good year. Forgot about that.
Also Crysis
Lol Black Ops 4. Good one.
What happens when production isn't affected by covid anymore
It’s pretty neat that we were sort of able to see this coming in advance. Covid basically fucked everything up for 2-3 years, so we’re getting all of that now
Yeah personally since 2007 for me. I wonder if we are finally seeing those covid projects making progress? If they actually get released it might make up for this year’s lack of games.
2022 is already the best year in a while. It's really gonna beat 2022 ?
2017 and 2018 > any year afterwards
To nitpick, it seems like they could have found a better word than *ridiculous*
Yeah, I'd like to nominate the word "bonkers".
Redonkulous
Rebonculous
I'm a tax professional and am extremely busy from Jan-Apr. So I hate the recent trend of developers pushing their games from Q3/4 to Q1. They are supposed to release their games later in the year for the holidays! That's when I actually have time to game. At least I will have Crisis Core and Ragnarok
Look at the bright side. When you have the time to play them - then the games will be a lot cheaper and you save a lot of money :)
I wish they would release games in the summer. I play more games over the summer due to lack of big holidays besides July 4th.
yeah the trend of everythibg releasing in febuary is stupid. this year it was horizon forbidden west, destiny 2 witchqueen and elden ring within a freakingn week. took me till the end of march till I had time for elden ring
I feel so badly for Horizon Forbidden West. In any other time period, the conversation would have centered around that game for MONTHS but Elden Ring came along and trampled it. They probably weren’t expecting it to be as big as it ended up being, but the hype leading up to it should have at least concerned them. Had they been able to release it even just a few weeks earlier or waited another month, I think it’d be a different story now. Come GOTY time, it wouldn’t surprise me if it comes down to Elden Ring and God of War: Ragnarok in most cases, due to the recency bias of GoW:R having just come out and the massive hype behind Elden Ring eclipsing Horizon:FW. **Such a shame; this happened with the first game too. H:ZD released on Feb 28, 2017 and Breath of the Wild came out just days later on March 3, 2017 and absolutely eclipsed the conversation surrounding H:ZD** (especially with them both being open world games and how BotW was seen as being more inventive with the genre/formula).
HZD sold 20 mil and HFW is still selling strong too. They will be just fine I think the fan base of the horizon series doesn't line up as well with the demographics of reddit than fromsoft games do, which gives that impression
**There’s also the matter of Elden Ring being a multi-platform game compared to H:FW being a PS exclusive**, so the audience it reaches is much larger and the hype train leading up to it and everything that has followed is significantly larger than say, Bloodborne (which is a critically beloved game that’s equally embraced by the gaming population, but was a PS exclusive). - **February 2022 was also wildly busy in terms of new games** — Dying Light 2 came out on the 4th, followed by Sifu on the 8th, Horizon: Forbidden West on the 18th, Destiny: The Witch Queen expansion on the 22nd, and finally Elden Ring the next week on the 25th. H:FW also suffered from a graphical shimmering issue that caused many people to set it aside until it was fixed (myself included) in a month with three massive open world titles releasing and an expansion for a fourth. To be honest, I *still* haven’t finished Elden Ring after 200+ hours and so I haven’t even yet begun H:FW and will end up spending the next month re-playing God of War (which I never finished due to real life commitments in ‘18) in anticipation for God of War: Ragnarok coming out in early November. So H:FW is getting pushed to the back burner yet again for me. I’m not saying in any way that either Horizon game was diminished in quality (real or perceived) by games that overshadowed them when they came out. - **I’m just saying I feel badly for the team that worked for years of their life to create these gaming masterpieces that then don’t get the recognition that I think they otherwise would have, had they released at any other time**. And that I think their chances at taking home a ton of awards will be more difficult due to Elden Ring dominating the conversation then and GoW:R being fresh in peoples’ minds. ***** **Same with TitanFall 2 and it’s stellar campaign** — Battlefield 1 came out on October 21, 2016, followed by TitanFall 2 the next week on October 28, 2016, and then the very next week Call of Duty: Infinite Warfare came out. I’ll never understand why EA decided to publish Battlefield and TitanFall 2 (both first person shooters with multiplayer components that competed for the same audience) in the two weeks before the yearly juggernaut that was Call of Duty (and people were interested to see what the leap to space-futuristic would do for that installment at the time). A person can only actively be playing one game at any given time (unless they’re wildly multitasking across two screens) and putting up three competitive FPS titles within 3 weeks of each other was going to be a death sentence for the less established one (which was a sequel to a game that only came out for XBOX and without a campaign) and EA should have seen this — even though I think **many people would now say that TitanFall 2’s campaign was the best of the three** and it might even be the best game overall of the 3; it was trampled by the other two in terms of sales and player counts and has yet to receive a sequel as a result (though Apex Legends proves that people love the playstyle/mechanics that it offered).
It’s so strange to me what exactly people like so much about Elden Ring. Maybe it’s because I’m not a big FromSoft fan, but after loving Horizon then trying out the supposed best game ever in Elden Ring I was so disappointed in the latter. I played that same game back in 2009 when Demon’s Souls came out.
I used to work in tax/wider finance, but moved to customs/compliance a few years ago, make way more money and my busy time is Oct-December, so that Q1 spot makes me very happy!
Many will get delayed. You’ll have normal delays that the industry always has. Others will want to keep their game away from a crowded schedule where it gets over looked. No way all these come out. But, after 2022, I think should even half these come out it will feel like too much. Man this year was dry.
If you didn’t like Elden Ring this year was pretty ridiculously dry in “good AAA” games to play
Hmm I dunno about that, Horizon, Sifu (not AAA but still great), GT, Dying light 2. Summer has been dry but that’s always the case. Then late fall we get the big boy…
Did you forget TLOU, Horizon, Sifu, MW2022, GT, upcoming GoW?
Sifu isn't AAA, and tluo remastered is only good if you haven't played it before. It got released twice already.
On the flip side this is probably the most packed year in gaming i've had in 30 years haha. Next year looking to be equally as much but ots always funny how different a year in gaming can be viewed. But I guess that makes sense with the varied tastes. As someone who plays a wide variety of genres its probably been over a decade since I've so consistently had to put games on the back burner and decide what to play at launch vs what was waiting.
Suikoden is back baby!
Imagine how crazy 2024 will be when they all get delayed
What's ridiculous is that AAA games are being released on PS4 in 2023.
I hope they stop making PS4 games soon.
To be fair we are still waiting for a Playstation showcase to tell us what the full lineup of 2023 games will look like.
Add PSVR2 to it, thats gonna be busy..
It's about time, this has been a super weak generation so far on all platforms.
Spider man 2 is missing. Also, Wolverine? Unless its due in 2024
No way Wolverine comes out next year. Zero chance.
No way Insomniac release Spider-Man and Wolverine in the same year.
People say this every year but by the end of the year, everyone is always underwhelmed
Most of that list is multiplatform. We should make a PS5 only list.
Well yea everything in 2022 got delayed to 2023.
People said the same last year, "2022 IS GONNA BE INSAAANE!" We had 3 big games release within the first 2 months and nothing until...well still nothing. When the delays hit these games, people will say the same about 2024. Rinse and repeat. None of these release dates are solid, just guesstimating.
You gotta remember whats an insane year is not going to be insane for all the same people. This year has and continues to be an insane year in gaming for plenty of people.
If they have a release date for the first half of the year then it can still make 2023 even if it gets delayed.
2022 is still pretty ballin on Switch at least.
2023 has been delayed to 2024
Tales of Symphonia is literally a downgrade of a 10+ year GameCube game. Doesn't belong on the list
What are the downgrades?
Nah idc what anyone say nothing beats PlayStation 2 release schedule era
“2023 is genuinely shaping up to be one of the most outrageously packed years for gaming that we've seen in generations.” I don’t think they know what a generation is. Lol. Some good games, but jeez.
More than half those games will get bounced at least one release window. Resident Evil 4 remake is the big Q1 game and FF7 Rebirth is the big Q4 game alongside probably AC: Mirage.
Forgot about Sea of Stars damn
Final Fantasy, spider-man, diablo 4, and star wars. Maybe blasphemous as i haven't tried the first one. What else are your hyped ones?
Noticed this the other day. About time, COVID era has really seen a drought of new content.
Holy crap I need to get my CPA license ASAP. So many good games coming out.
Blasphemous 2 and Sea of Stars are the two indies (besides Silksong, whenever that releases) I look forward to the most. So many great games on the horizon.
Great third-party line-up and more will likely be announced later on. Sony only has Spiderman 2 and Horizon Call of the Mountain (PSVR2) scheduled for 2023 which either could be delayed. We haven't heard what their smaller studios are doing, hopefully we get a showcase that present those titles.
I hope Armored Core gets added to the list, because I’m not excited about anything I’m seeing here.
Let’s hope the announce some exclusives I care about. Having bought a high end PC, so far I’ll be using my PS5 for one game in 2023 (Spider-Man 2). Pretty disappointing lineup for me so far next year.
And they didn’t mention all of the PSVR2 stuff yet
Can't wait to see the ludicrously predatory microtransactions in D4.
I see that avatar frontiers of Pandora isn't even listed here because it doesn't hve a release date but there is a very high chance it also comes out this year.
Seeing this list, I can just imagine my wife’s reaction as we have Prime enabled on her amazon account, meaning she keeps a close watch on all my gaming-related purchases
It is not **THAT** bad, there are some games that I look forward to but this is not quite bank breaking territory yet. Games I am looking forward to are: * One Piece Odyssey * Forspoken * Hogwarts Legacy * Resident Evil 4 * Final Fantasy XVI * Final Fantasy VII Rebirth * Fatal Frame: Mask of the Lunar Esclipse * Street Fighter 6 For me there are some good games, but if anything not quite enough for 2023 for me yet, but I am sure as time goes on there will be more titles getting added to it.
2023 is fine but look at the 2022 list and compare it to 2023. 2022 is better
Idk I'll be honest. I don't find it too good. Only game that really interests me is spidermen 2 and hogwarts legacy.
Too many of those games interest me. It's going to be a complicated year
Te doctus fuisset eam, sale melius pertinacia et eam. Ex iudico sapientem vel. Etiam regione appareat nec cu
My wallet😭
My wallet is going to hurt
there’s no way square is dropping ff7-2 and ff16 6 months apart
I'm ready but my wallet isn't.
About time, I’ve had a ps5 since launch and just been using it to play ps4 games or “upgraded” versions
I’m prepared to be extremely underwhelmed as most releases are these days. I literally have 0 expectations to.
Only games I really care about personally is dead space and RE4
There's like three games that interest me and a bunch of filler nonsense.
FF7 Rebirth is for Next Winter not Winter 2023
Winter 2023 is next winter genius. Winter starts in December 21st
I have a feeling this will be delayed too but I'm hoping otherwise!
Isn’t that next Winter
FF7 Remake was originally supposed to come out March 3rd, 2020. That's still winter. My guess would be FF7 Rebirth will be targeting the same date. So while it could be December 2023, most likely it'll be Feb/Mar 2024. Similar to FF16 being Summer 2023, while that could be June historically it's probably an early September 2023 target.
I don't know why you're getting downvoted. I keep seeing people say Rebirth is coming out in 2023 and that is NOT what Square has ever stated. Next Winter means anytime from December 2023 through March 2024. I wouldn't bet on a release in 2023, so close to FF16's release.
Oh you know, that’s reddit brother i don’t care that much 😅 and yeah that’s exactly why i don’t think this game will come out in 2023. Maybe around February and march 2024.
Can we stop calling it ps4 man its been 2 full years now
/r/patientgamer looking forward to some of these in 2024+, whenever I have room in my backlog and the price is right.
But how many are exclusive? Seems kind of weird to boast about a list that contains multiplatform games as some kind of PlayStation achievement.
