Games We Probably Want to See in 2017

2017 is here and there are promises to be made. No, not that promise to lose weight and quit smoking? Promise game developers, and companies promised to give us great game this year! These are so games that we either would like to play or at least hear more of this year.

Yooka-Laylee

We we're suppose to get this game last year which was a bummer. If you didn't know about it or haven't heard about the game, Yooka-Laylee, made by Playtonic, is suppose to be a spiritual successor to the Banjo-Kazooie series that was on the N64. It is a 3D platformer that is pretty much its predecessor was and that make me really excited to finally get my hands on it. The reason it was delayed, again, was that they wanted it to be on the upcoming Nintendo Switch. Hopefully we will play this sometime this year, hopefully.

Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild

Another game we were supposed to get in 2016, Breath of the Wild is not your typical Zelda game. It is huge on the idea of scavenging and exploring the incredibly vast land of Hyrule to make food, and weapons that will help you on your quest to save it from Ganon. It is a huge call back to the original Zelda where things are not linear and it's all about you discovering secret trials and dungeons. We seem that we're going to get it soon when the Switch comes out. Let's hope that this is true.

Prey

The first Prey was pretty cool. This one is both a sequel and and an enhanced remake of the original. You are a character on a space station that, according to creative director Raphael Colantonio, every event that happens in the game is continuous instead of it being broken up in levels and missions. Instead of going to spirit form in the original, you will acquire the powers of various alien enemies giving a different spin to gameplay. I can't wait to see how this works out and how the whole thing plays and looks.


Allison Road

When we heard their was going to be a Silent Hills Game made by Guiellermo Del Toro we were excited. When we heard it was canceled we were devastated. Luckily we had P.T. which wowed us. Allison is considered to be an homage to P.T. and is basically have similar gameplay. It was quickly cancelled for a while and it is now back in production. So even though we might not gotten Silent Hills, but it is nice that we get to have something that came from it and hopefully it comes out some time this year.

Red Dead Redemption 2

We haven't gotten much news or saw anything about Red Dead 2 other than a teaser image of some guys in a sunset.  The series is basically the wild west version Grand Theft Auto. Hopefully we see something soon because the other games in the series were amazing. Especially if they still want to cash in on the Westworld hype that is still going on.

Sonic Mania

Sonic Mania is a much waited return to the classic 2D Sonic games. This is a real throwback. Not a enhanced version like Sonic 4 or some anniversary thing like Sonic Generations. A back to basics thing that is chock full of nostalgia and tons of easter eggs from the series. Sonic games have been pretty hit and miss, mostly miss but this looks very promising.

God of War

What do you do when you killed all the Greek gods? Kill the Norse ones. That is not the only new thing as they redone the gameplay completely from the ground up. There are more RPG elements as you build more knowledge points for weapons meaning that you'll be more skilled at using them as well a a newly revamped rage ability. We saw this at E3 last year we were blown away. We want more.

Mass Effect: Andromeda

We love the Mass Effect series so another installment is something good. The concept of Andromeda seems to be to give the players more meaning that you get to explore a more vast open world than the past Mass Effect games and have the player create characters with a complete free reign of skills to obtain.


Friday the 13th: The Game

We've seen the beta of this and everything looks wonderful. You can play as probably horny but terrible acting teen counselors of Camp Crystal Lake try to survive or Jason himself and hunt down everybody in a not so senseless blood bath, because they did neglect and drown you were were a kid while they were trying to bone. Anyway this looks great so it will be nice to see what the finished game will look.

Resident Evil 7

It seems that we have a lot of games that are going back to the basics on this list along with Resident Evil 7. This time around Capcom is scaling back with the action-horror elements and is doing pure survival horror with 7. You're roaming around a large mansion solving puzzles much like the original Resident Evil. While their might not be zombies there are monsters and the Baker Family you will need to fight off. The demos look promising so hopefully it delivers.

Kingdom Hearts 3

We haven't heard anything about this in a couple of years, but we've gotten multiple remixes and 2.5s and 1.8s and whatever. Square, just hurry up and release it. We're waiting for this and we are impatient.

Any games on this list that I missed and you can't wait to see or play?

E3 2015: All The Other Extra Crap

Welcome to part 4. During this week I gave my two cents about this year's E3. I've done critiques on Microsoft's, Sony's, and Nintendo's conferences and events. These were only the tip of the iceberg and it wouldn't be fair to not talk about the other games that were presented. So here's the other crap that was at this year's E3.

Doom 4

Doom is back and it's back with a vengeance. Before E3 we got a teaser of Doom. At Bethesda's conference, we got to see the whole thing and it looks amazing. It feels like old Doom with updated graphics and that's all you can ask for. I can tell that iD had that idea in mind in order simplify things and just try to remember why people played Doom in the first place.

Kingdom Hearts 3

This E3 we got to see more of Kingdom Hearts 3, as a way for Square Enix to tell us that they haven't forgot about the game. Compared to last year's trailer, not much is new or different other than they shown a bit of the stages, which it seems to be that you will have a little more freedom adventuring around as you can scale mountains and jump off them and more Disney attraction summons. Hey we're getting a new Kingdom Hearts game, so that the only good news here.

Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain

We are going to be instore for some epic moments if the game is just as intense as the E3 2015 trailer. By the looks of it, The Phantom Pain will be very story driven which is a great thing. Director, writer, and almost everything else Hideo Kojima describes the story as being "too dark." and a revenge story. If it is true that this will be Kojima and Konami's final game together, Kojima will be leaving on a high note.

Earthbound Beginnings

We are finally getting Mother in the US. The game on The Wii U Virtural console. Unfortunately I never played Earthbound, but fortunately I've had an admiration to want to play it ever since Ness debuted in Super Smash Bros. The only sad thing is that it won't be able to play it on the 3DS despite them releasing Mother and Earthbound on handheld years ago. Nintendo, what's up with that?

Super Smash Bros Direct

Christmas came early. More Smash Bros goodies! First of all, Roy is back! Roy has been a fan favorite and it's good to see him as DLC. He plays a little different but people who mained as him won't be too upset. Next is Ryu. I'm a bit surprised that Ryu was added into the game, but I shouldn't as Capcom and Nintendo have been BFFs in the past. He is a great addition to the roster and his stage looks amazing. What they added to DLC is new stages, including ones from the N64 era. I'm excited about this. My wallet is crying

Mirror's Edge Catalyst

We're getting a new Mirror's Edge game, huzzah! It pretty much plays like the other Mirror Edge games which is still good. The only difference is that this time you don't have a gun. You have to rely on your fighting skills to ward off the bad guys. This is a nice spin to the gameplay as the whole point of Mirror's Edge is that they want you to be fully engaged in the gameplay and want to make it almost as if you're in the game itself. We didn't really get to see the fighting gameplay so that's a bit of a bummer, I can't wait to see more of this game.
