PC Gamer has made a list of notable games announced or planned for a release in 2013. Some are long shots, some are incredibly indie, some are just odd but man this is a lot of interesting games.

http://www.pcgamer.c...1/2013-preview/

And these are just the PC games, I wonder what is coming out for the consoles... if anything? This being supposedly the slowdown in new console games before the PS4 and X-box get released.

There's a whole bunch of AAA titles on the horizon: Dead Space 3, Crysis 3, Aliens Colonial Marines, Tomb Raider, Star Craft: Heart of the Swarm, Bioshock Infinite... so many games so little time.

Seems more like a list of everything this guy could find that's going to be released rather than a list of what actually looks best.
uhm, that should be 'stuff.' My stiff is never nihilistic.

Wow, that's a huge list! Kinda was hoping there would be just a few for each category.
It's probably better that it's more of an extensive list than a few solid recs, since every time a steam sale comes around, my wallet suffers.

...............I'll probably end up looking through it all anyways. And then buying stuff. And then nothing gets done ever again.
Currently re-reading the entire series and waiting for Fall of Light. You can catch me in the chat to win a drawing request!~MISANDRY FOR LIFE MUAHAHA~

That's a huge list (2 days later, I finally got around to reading most of it).


gonna go in categories from stuff i'm actually looking forward to:

1)Action

Sleeping dogs: this looked amazing on E3, want this a lot.

Star Wars 1313: first time I hear about it, I R intrigued.

Remember Me: the story is nifty, Paris setting is cool. Not 100% sold on gameplay, but colour me interested.

Dark: Vampires! against evil corporation! and it pulls many of the Bloodlines nostalgia strings. I'm curious

Beyond Good and Evil 2: THis won't happen. But it'd be so awesome if it did.

Collateral: because I love the fifth element, this is interesting.

Nekro: I helped to Kickstart this.



2) Adventure games: I know very little of the genre. I'll say I'm interested in Amnesia (because I WILL play the first one, dammit. sometime soon. Maybe.)



3) FPS
Bioshock: Infinite--because the games seem to finally be evolving past being System Shock 2 wannabees.

Prey 2: Because this was the best game of 2011 E3, and I want it, dammit!

SIr, You are being Hunted: S.T.A.L.K.E.R.! With robots! and set on moors! also, Kickstarted.


4) MMOs--not my cup of tea. But World of Darkness will undoubtedly be interesting to read about.

5)Platforms: I also know nothing about the genre.
6)Puzzle: see above
7)Racing: see above.

8)RPGs
Wasteland 2: Kickstarted

South Park:--It's South park. And it's by Obsidian. need I say more?

Shadowrun Returns: my first ever Kickstarter pledge. I loved the Shadowrun books. Want this yesterday.

Dead State: It's like X-COM, with zombies! and with choice+consequesnces from Troika (so, Arcanum/Bloodlines level of choice). Kickstarted.

Dark Eye: Demonicon. this preview made me super-curious about the game. But we've heard nothing about it since, and now it's due for release in January? I'm sceptical, yet hopeful.

Raven's cry: Pirate setting for RPG is always interesting.

Nuclear Union: it's S.T.A.L.K.E.R! but an RPG! and made by a Russian team, so expect bugs, quirkyness and a ton of ambition.

Mars: War Logs: Cyberpunk RPG set on Mars. gimme nao.

Mistborn: Birthright--huh? cool.


9) Sim - not my thing

10) Sport --pass. I play my sports IRL

11) Strategy
Rome 2: Total War: maybe. If I feel I'll have the time for such a massive commitment.

Starcraft II: Heart of the Swarm: I really, really, REALLY don't like Blizzard after the shenanigans they pulled locking me out of offline play In Wings of Liberty and the whole D3 always online fiasco. But I also really, really, REALLY enjoy the "choose your own adventure"-type campaigns in strategy games, and I thought Wings of Liberty Campaign was worth the money. So I'm incredibly conflicted about this one.

Europa Universalis 4: see Rome 2 on time commitment.

Divinity: Dragon Commander: previews on this look amazing. see also non-linear campaign metagame comment from SCII.

GODUS:, maybe? I do recall liking the original Black & White back in the day....

Maia: I htink I plenned to put money in this, but then forgot. definitely interested.

Planetary Anhihilation--see Maia comment.

Xenonauts: Kickstarted. Love me some X-COM.

12) Future games:

Project Eternity: Kickstarted

StarcraftII: Legacy of the Void--see the Heart of the Swarm comment.

Thi4f--want it. Will probaby play through the first 3 by then

Dreamfall--Have this on Steam. Need to play it.

Cyberpunk 2077--WANT NAO!
Also Missing-Witcher 3. CDPRed's supposed to make an announcement about it in Feb.


God, that is a lot of games. and a ton of money to spend. The backlog, it will grow....
