Phaseknox Posted July 6, 2022 Share Posted July 6, 2022 While the first half of the year didn’t offer too many new game releases that I was interested in, the second half seems to be a little better. The following are the games that I’m looking forward to between now and the end of the year (in alphabetical order): Asterigos: Curse of the Stars (TBA) God of War: Ragnarok (11/9) Hogwarts Legacy (TBA) Saints Row (8/23) Star Ocean: The Divine Force (10/27) Stray (7/19) Sword and Fairy: Together Forever (8/4) Valkyrie Elysium (9/29) Which games coming out the second half of the year are you looking forward to?

HardAct Posted July 6, 2022 Share Posted July 6, 2022 Really looking forward to Xenoblade Chronicles 3 late this month. That game alone should hold my attention till I get my Steam deck 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stepee Posted July 6, 2022 Share Posted July 6, 2022 Pokémon, Rabbids 2, Saints Row, Stray, God of War, Batman, is Sports Story actually ever going to release? That if so. I’ll buy Splatoon 3 and may end up loving it but can’t get hyped for some reason. Is Cyberpunk expansion supposed to be this year? That if so. I’ll be getting MW2 and may even try portable multiplayer on deck for that. I can’t keep up with the release list with all the changes so prob missing tons of stuff I want.

Paperclyp Posted July 6, 2022 Share Posted July 6, 2022 I’m sure a few smaller titles will crop up, but God Of War is really the only big game on my radar. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

crispy4000 Posted July 7, 2022 Share Posted July 7, 2022 Xenoblade 3 and God of War 2 are the big ones. Though I doubt I’ll have a PS5 in time for the latter. (I sold my PS4 Pro too) Mario + Rabbids 2 and Crisis Core are fairly high up. Plague’s Tale 2 probably would be too if I played the first. I’m curious about Hogwarts, Sonic and and Batman. For indies, Stray, Tinykin, High on Life look like fun. Still wondering if Little Devil Inside makes it this year. Palworld, Rollerdrome and Ooblets could be fun as novelties.

stepee Posted July 7, 2022 Share Posted July 7, 2022 oh jeeze forgot about Sonic! Plagues Tale 2, I’m in the same boat, it looks great but I need to go back and finish the first! It’s on my list tho, prob the next game I play on my SX. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would be interested in A Plague Tale: Requiem too if it was coming to PS4, but it’s not for some reason despite the first one being on PS4. It’s coming to Switch though which I’m bitter about. Like with Gotham Knights it’s going to be a game that I have to wait to play when I get a PS5, but that’s not going to be for quite some time.

They're targeting next gen only. Switch version is cloud based, as Keyser said. There is no XBO version either. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BloodyHell Posted July 7, 2022 Share Posted July 7, 2022 God of War: Ragnarok is the one im most excited for. Hogwarts Legacy!!! Game looks incredible. Star Ocean: The Divine Force Valkyrie Elysium XBC3 LiveAlive Callisto Protocol- definitely hyped for this. Harvestella I'll buy The Last of Us when it's 30$ or less. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The online video it generates is then streamed to your Switch over the internet. You'll get video compression artifacts and additional input delay. When the servers one day get shut down, you'll no longer have access to your game. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's why I made that comment in jest a while ago, when you were upset about not being able to play Xbox games, saying you could play the Xcloud version on the browser in your PS4 (the PS4 does have a web browser right?) - Meaning the game is being streamed to your console so you can play it without owning the console.

Zaku3 Posted July 7, 2022 Share Posted July 7, 2022 Victoria 3 should be out in theory this year and Immortal Empires for Warhammer 3. Dark Tides is another. Beyond that I'll buy other games of course but mainky Vic3 and IE are what I want. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

best3444 Posted July 7, 2022 Share Posted July 7, 2022 I'm actually pretty damn impressed with this year overall. The GOW release was the cherry on the top. I just beat Cyberpunk and will beat Forbidden West shortly. Then we had Elden Ring and Kirby. Then I have: The Last of Us Remake Saints Row Psychonauts 2 Hogwarts Legacy A Plague Tale: Requiem (beat the first one and was impressed) Gotham Knights Stray Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s using the same engine and a lot of the same assets as the first game, so it should look and run great on PS4. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
