Games you are looking forward to in 2025

[Finarfin]

Was pretty fun to play. Good game to recommend.


Woke but still played it, had to buy it because the bugs were too severe and no one uploaded the updates.


Looked interesting but might buy it later

Fun game. Also Alma is a cute.


Very fun game. Recommend it

Hard as ****. Korean soulslops are bordering on unfair.

**** localization, I will wait for a fan translation.

Is a great game apparently, will get it some day

Still looking forward to it.

Still looking forward to it.

Still looking forward to it.

Meh, passing on this.

Still looking forward to it.

Metroid Prime 4 > Still looking forward to it.
Toxic Commando > Still looking forward to it.
Those are only some of the more well-known games.

It's almost sad that 2025 will be guaranteed a better year for gaming than 2024, based on KCD2 alone.

[Brother Chad]

No don't do this... don't torture me!
I have waited for that game for years, even bought the collector's edition back when they've announced it.
Ofc after the grave news of their prev dev team, I've refunded it...

God, I would give anything for a proper Vampire Masquerades: Bloodlines sequel, without any woke crap. But we all know that ain't gonna happen
Rest in RIP World of Darkness.

There is another...

But who am I kidding, my vampire game is going to be completely different from Bloodlines 1.

I really doubt this will release in 2025 but I've owned it for nearly a decade now so it would be cool if it releases


@orinEsque do you have that link on how to download old builds from steam? I played it around ~2017 and they nuked that build but I wanted to record footage from it, it was crazy janky but really passionate

For Exoplanet First Contact: https://steamdb.info/app/531660/patchnotes/

In general it is : https://steamdb.info/app/<GameID>/patchnotes/

Command to download old version
download_depot <GameID> <Depot ID> <Manifest ID>

So for example:
download_depot 1086940 1086941 1939234082648976795


Depot ID (top arrow) = A specific set of files of your game that remains static across updates
Manifest ID (bottom arrow = The specific build ID for that Depot

In bg3 you have to download multiple Depots to get a fully working game. So i'm not sure if just a single download is enough.

[Roderick]

Another Aspyr port.

[GhostCow]

Skate story just got a new trailer. I'm pretty hyped despite it seeming like an art *** game.

We thought pixel shaders would be used for mirrors and water. Instead it is used to make games uniformly ugly because that is preferable to fixing the substandard assets.

[Vaako]

Only thing would be the Gothic1 remake but I know they will **** it up somehow. Guess its only youtube and old games this year for entertainment.

Yeah I know, please be good ffs, give me a proper purging RPG

Trails Beyond the Horizon

, the English localization of Kai which was announced a couple weeks back and will be coming this Fall. I finished Daybreak 2/Kuro 2 and bought the CLE port of Kai thinking that it would be at least one or two years for NISA's localization to arrive and that I would just use the fan translation patch, but then NISA's PC port (which has much better quality than CLE's ports) was announced so I refunded and will just wait for that instead.





Trails in the Sky 1st Chapter, which is a remake of the first Trails in the Sky game which I have already played twice, so I am not too excited for it. I don't like the cartoony art direction of it. However, it is more Trails, so maybe I'll get it if I am that desperate to get my fix.

Abandon all hope.

I’m just waiting for Owlcat to release the possible final DLC Lex Imperialis in Rouge Trader and maybe Outer World 2 since it looks ok but that’s very tentative at the amount, especially with its **** millennium humour dialogue.

"We were saved in hope. If we see what we hope for, that isn’t hope. Who hopes for what they already see? But if we hope for what we don’t see, we wait for it with patience.”

A proper Good Triumphs over Evil game will come. Just have to be patient. I can wait. This is just one potential amongst many 'hopefuls'. Also, your other avatar was better. I wish you well though.

What lvl Rouge did you have back in the day? I had a bis Bleu, with a lowbie Vert alt.

Bluesky account detected, alertness +100.

Edit: they also have a twitter account, so maybe +50 instead of +100.

What is Bluesky?

A far-left, full fascist, ********, purulent libtard echo chamber spawned out of spite against Elon Musk, and my most recent discriminant whether I will buy a game or I will blacklist the dev team indefinitely.

My filter:
- Have Twitter/X: still suspicious, carry over with other filters (I.e. is there a girlboss in? Progressive themes? Etc.)
- Have X and Bluesky: extreme suspicion, but still a sliver of benefit of the doubt. It could be just because they want to get as much visibility as they can.
- Bluesky without X: blacklist dev, even ones I bought from and whose games I enjoyed, for every future title indefinitely.

Examples of devs that """ transitioned""":
- Red hook studios (Darkest dungeon)
- Akira (Ultrakill)
- Fractal softworks (Star sector)

[Bing_xiLim]

Somewhat interested in seeing how 'Rematch' will turn out.



Not really happy that SloClap decided make a football games of all things given how successful (and excellent) their last game was ('SIFU'). But I'm somewhat interested mainly because they emphasise "skill-based" gameplay, so I reckon it will be decently technical like SIFU.

I might have been wrong there, but GOTHIC REMASTER certainly won't disappoint

****. Didn't realize that about Fractal. Thanks for the heads-up.

[Fox1]

None, they will all be garbage. Maybe some mods for old games and maybe MGS3 Delta if they don't take a giant **** on it like SH2, but that is doubtful.

[maidenhaver]

Gothic and Oblivion.

[Breathe]

If I ever play games again it'll be old ones in my backlog. If I play a game made in 2025 it'll be 2030.
