TWO I FORGOT TO MENTION: Dragon Quest 3 HD-2D. I never played the originals and this looks cool. Also STALKER 2, obviously.

Black Myth: Wukong is looking very good too. I am happy we get games from different places nowadays.

You said the year was already halfway over and I got concerned about aging and dying there for a second. That’s never happened before.

About to start my first Bloodborne play through ever as a lifelong Xbox guy. Unbelievably stoked.

Metaphor Re Fantazio looks SO GOOD. Also DQ3 redo and Astrobot

I'm looking forward to Astro Bot as well! Can't believe people didn't enjoy the original free little game

Anybody who was clowning on you for looking forward to Astrobot is crazy. That game looks amazing. I just pre-ordered it a few days ago, which is something I rarely do.

Jake I’ve built up months of debt for pizza you claimed is on you. Pls help

Black myth wukong is my most anticipated game for this year

no games, you’re grounded

"Maybe youre still just playing elden ring" as I run through the haligtree on my 6th run lol

Imagine , they made so much money with the Pachinko machine that they have the biggest MGS budget ever. Finally Kojima could've been doing anything he wanted😂

Black Myth: Wukong baby! Releases 3 days after I get married.

Mario and Luigi Brothership, Zelda Echoes of Wisdom, MVC Collection, Super Mario Party Jamboree, Wu Kong, Ace Attorney Investigations, MGS3, Indiana Jones, Dead Rising, Star Wars Outlaws and DQ3 HD! Cant wait to play those!

2025 will be a FANTASTIC year in video games. All those Xbox games, Metroid prime, the possibly PlayStation ones. All look awesome

Astro Bot, Black Myth Wukong, Phantom Blade Zero, Silent Hill 2

“Light No Fire” is mine. Haven’t really played games consistently in a few years but it looks good

I yelled ‘phrasing!’ like Archer when you asked if all the publisher’s ’blew their loads’ last year 😮‍💨

I’m hyped for Behemoth on PSVR 2!

Star Wars: Bounty Hunter August 1 Star Wars: Outcasts August 30 Astro Bot September 06 Alan Wake || October 22 Sonic x Shadow: Generations October 25 Assassin's Creed: Shadows November 12 Dragon Quest ||| November 13 Squirrel With a Gun December 31

My top 5 1.Sparking Zero 2.Astro Bot 3.Wukong 4.Avowed 5.Age of Mythology

Hey Jake, longtime fan of gameranx and the FPS podcast. Much love to you man, it always makes me happy to see you pop up on my feed :)

For me, it's Dragon Age The Veilguard. Waiting for the release date.

King Makers is just Army of Darkness, not that there’s anything WRONG with that.

Stoked for Astrobot, Black Myth Wukong and Star Wars Outlaws

Conscript, Mina the Hollower, Rise of the Golden Idol, Avowed, Diesel Legacy, and Shadows of Doubt is supposed to release out of early access. All of these things are allegedly before the year is out.

Ones I’m excited for: The Thing, Astrobot, the new Life is Strange (though hesitant), Silent Hill 2, LOZ game where you play as Zelda, and Kingdom Come Deliverance! I love Medieval style fighting games.

Hoping Silent HIll 2 remake and Star Wars: Outlaws, go really well.

I’m surprised Dragonball Sparking Zero wasn’t mentioned!! That’s probably my most anticipated currently

That new balan wonderworld will be GOTY !!!!

I mean you got Metaphor, Star Wars, Stalker 2, Space Marine, Frostpunk, Dragon Age, Path of Exile 2, Age of Mythology, Avowed, Indiana Jones, CoD, Life is Strange, Astro Bot, Visions of Mana, Diablo 4 xpac, WoW xpac, Legends of Zelda game, SH2, Mario and Luigi Brothership, Flight Sim 2024, LEGO Horizon, Assassins Creed, bunch of indies/AA games I can't remember right now and thats all in like 3 months which feels like a LOT more then last year to me personally.

Metaphor Re:Fantazio! Been waiting for 8 years for that game, let's gooo

Random note how you liked the original crash bandicoot: I have a memory of playing the first game on a demo kiosk in a store. It was the very first screen of the game and I could not figure out at all what to do. Up until that point I had run to the right of a 2D screen, on a rare occasion run to the left even! But then I somehow realised - probably by random dpad presses - that you could run into the background of the screen! It destroyed my imagination...in a good way.

My most anticipated game for the entire year since last year is Sword of the Sea. It was given a 2024 release date, but it's been radio silence since.

The Plucky Squire looks dope thanks for pmo.

Super excited for Space Marine 2

astrobot in VR one of my fav games ive played so i for sure will have to get this new one coming out

I'm getting pretty hyped for Outlaws. I hope it can live up to my hype

Did you read the recent issue of Gameinformer that previewed Frostpunk 2? It sounded so cool, I definitely want to give the first game a try soon.

I love platformers. Crash 4 was criminally underrated

Sparking Zero is about to slap in the DBZ/Anime community

I’m curious about Avowed, obsidian does a Skyrim-esque thing in the Pillars universe, could be awesome, but I honestly haven’t seen enough to truly be “excited”. That and Outlaws are the only other major releases I’m actually interested in for the rest of this year I think

Yup, I'm looking forward to Astro Bot too.

My biggest excitement is for Dragon Age: The Veilguard

I finally started TLOU2 this past weekend. I'm absolutely loving it so far. I had no idea the game was this fun to play! I'm looking forward to DRDR as well, might be the first "new" game I buy at launch in many years, though the original is my favorite game ever so that's not entirely surprising.

Thanks for your videos breh, love it!

Kunitsu Gami Path of the Goddess looks so good

I’m honestly extremely excited for silent hill 2, I have a feeling they will have put real love into this.

Add Shadows of the Damned and Lollipop Chainsaw remasters, and throw in some Pepper Grinder!

After the crazy 2023, this year is a bit lighter for big AAA games (and thank god!), but the indie scene is absolutely crazy this year. There's easily a few really good indies coming out every month, I can't keep up.

Satisfactory releases September 10, I have been waiting 5 years for this

Love your content Jake!

Really looking forward to Astrobot, Plucky Squire, Skate Story, I Am Your Beast, Mario and Luigi, and LoZ Echoes of Wisdom.

Planet Coaster 2 and the new WoW xpac - The War Within. Great time to be a PC gamer!

Stalker 2 looks great

Is it just me but I feel like this year was better in video games than last year

Definitely looking forward to Star Wars Outlaws

Astro Bot looks dope it has been confirmed to run at 60fps which is a big plus.

Dude, Astro Playroom was one of the best new IP I've played in the last few years. Everyone in my house wanted to play it and had a blast on every level. It was Mario level great platforming

I've sort of fallen off with VR but Behemoth might be the game to get me back into it, plus it'll be winter and more time to chill inside. Looks cool like Shadow of The Collosus mixed with their previous game that and the time travel game The Wanderer. And clown face game.

That Gori game reminded me of that weird hover board ps2 game AirBlade. Haven’t thought of that game in years

Avowed and Metaphor the ones i'm most excited for. Frostpunk 2 on my list as well.

I am so stoked for Space Marine 2. I never thought I’d see a SM 2 , so that alone was a welcome surprise. But I was even more stoked to see it was done by the same guys that did that really underrated World War Z game. If the campaign is strong, and the multiplayer is at least good, it has all the ingredients of something I’ll put at least 100 hours into. Really really hope it’s good

I'm so pleased you mentioned The Plucky Squire. I'm so hyped for it too! Also, you're not alone, Jake. Astro Bot looks awesome and is my most anticipated game rn.

Dragon Ball Sparking Zero for me, I've been a dragon ball fan since I was a little kid playing Budokai 1 on GameCube and i loved the Budokai Tenkiachi series on PS2. I can't wait.

I'm looking forward to avowed, Hellskate, No rest for the wicked, Black myth wukong, Gothic 1 remake, Unknown 9 awakening, Dragoin age veilguard, expedition 33, South of midnight, Entoria the last song, Codex lost, Clockwerk revolution, Dungeonborne, Light no fire, Outrward 2, Fable, etc. Right now mostly playing dota 2 and elden ring (though I picked up nightingale

Astrobot rules!!!!! I’m excited for that game too 😊

Astro Bot and Dragon Age have me the most excited m

Metaphor is the only major one I think you left out! Also, Octopath 2 was phenomenal and definitely worth a check at some point.

You had me at “I wanted to sit down and break down”

Intrigued for the new Dragon Age game. The promotion for it has been pretty weak but I’m a big fan of the series so fingers crossed.

Sitting down and breaking down is also on my agenda for the day. 🙂

I think I remember you saying that you like to play horror games during Halloween. If you dont have something in mind already, I recommend Still Wakes the Deep. It's pretty creepy. I wish I had saved it for Halloween myself.

Loving these more frequent uploads! And I couldn’t agree more about Astro, Plucky Squire and Dragon Quest!!

Jake you are a great reviewer and have a very likable personality. I trust your views. Just about the entertainment level of games.

This year means backlog catch up, 2023 had some beefy games to finish so still on alot of those

My top 3 at the moment would probably be Wukong, Metaphor and Kingdom Come Deliverance 2. Avowed as well if it comes out this year.

Marvel vs Capcom fighting collection

kinda glad this year was pretty slow for gaming. Been attacking my backlog lately. This gives me a break from playing the lastest games. Its absolutely insane how many games drop nowadays.

I think a fun non serious platformer like Astrobot is exactly what we need right now

I'm looking forward to: •Astrobot •Thank goodness you're here •Rugrats adventures in Gameland •The casting of frank stone •Silent hill 2 remake • Mgs delta snake eater (if it comes out this yr) •plucky squire (this is a maybe for me and if it comes out this yr) •until dawn remake •Dredge collectors edition •as dusk falls ps5 edition People are crazy to doubt you for being excited for astrobot!

As someone who still has the bethesda rpg itch i can't wait for avowed and am glad they are sticking with the scope outer worlds because i already have so many long games im playing right now.

I really hope KCD2 gets to a bigger audience I wish there was more games going for a realistic RPG open world

Just Space Marine 2 that comes to mind for me, but Plucky Squire looks good & I'll be picking up Astro Bot likely at boxing day or black Friday if it's on sale. I'd buy it day one but I've got so many platformers in my backlog I can't justify it. Mostly hoping to get time this year to play a bunch of games I haven't gotten to over the years, but we'll see what I actually end up getting around to as most of this year has been spent getting my game room setup finally.

1. Metaphor: ReFantazio 2. Avowed 3. Visions of Mana 4. Dragon Quest 3 HD-2D 5. Frostpunk 2 6. Mirthwood 7. S.T.A.L.K.E.R. 2 8. Marvel vs Capcom Fighting Collection 9. Y's X: Nordics 10. Sonic x Shadow Generations (maybe, depending on reviews)

I am amped for the dead rising deluxe remaster, I hope that its more of a remake and we can actually move and aim guns, I'm hoping, maybe a sprint button?

Metaphor and expedition 33 ( don’t remember if that one’s 2024) are top of my list, would love to hear what you think about them.

Am I the only one who was low-key disappointed that the giant tree growing out of the ground had eyes?

Outlaws, space marine 2 and MGS3 if it drops are my top 3. Only thing you missed that I’m so excited for is neva , the next game from the team behind Gris, no firm date but 2024 slated. Plus it’s got a wolf/ dog so I’m gna cry I guess

I'm going to dive a hell of a lot into psvr2 this fall it seems. So many games coming for it.

Nice picks! From the ones you mentioned, I didn't know about Gori and Kingsmaker. They both seem really cool and I want to try them at some point. This second half of the year is not feeling light, at least to me. Trails through Daybreak, Visions of Mana, Astro Bot, Ys X Nordics, Metaphor ReFantazio, Dead Rising, Romancing Saga 2, Mario & Luigi Brothership, DQ3 HD, Ace Attorney Investigations Collection. There are a lot of pretty cool-looking games (with dates!) coming out. I think if you are looking at the AAA or "heavy hitters" side of things, I could seem a little light. Slitterhead is looking a little rough, but I still want to try it. Also, I can finally play Alan Wake 2 since we are getting the physical edition!! I think I'm gonna skip Black Myth Wukong until they release it on a disc.

Ignore the haters, Astro bot was awesome. It used the controllers mechanics properly! Very little has been done with that.

I can't wait for astrobot I was excited when you said that you were going to play it.

Astrobot, Sackboy, Crash... They're all fun with diverse levels but without a story, they'll always fall short compared to something like Psychonauts 2. We need way more games like THAT!

I would say astro bot, zelda echoes of wisdom, mario and Luigi brothership, indiana Jones, and avowed. You're right, it's a bit of a quiet year but I don't mind it personally

Black myth Wukong in August.

Jake not mentioning Silent Hill 2 Remake says a LOTTTTTTTT 😬😬😬😬😬😬😬😬😬😬😬

Dude ive been waiting for Gori ever since I played the demo. Such a great concept and I can't wait.

I hope star wars outlaws is good
