I am waiting for so much right now, Summer Fest showed a lot of interesting developments for me.
Nivalis in particular, as I enjoyed Cloudpunk and would love to see the city used more than just for delivery jobs.
The next Microsoft Flight Sim also looks impressive.

Mars First Logistics
Came out today, early access, and I'm all for these Moebius style looking games lately
(some early gameplay)https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uauRDqR4zBY

Yeah there's actually a bunch of indies that I have my eye on and even though I didn't mention it the Mars game is definitely something I'm interested in.
― Cashews Everything Around Me (Leee), Thursday, 22 June 2023 14:38 (eleven months ago) link
I got it, been playing today in between, ahem, work.It's great, it's more difficult than expected - the rover rolls over a lot and there's a ton of mountains and rocks to negotiate, i guess that's part of the game to build something that can navigate the terrains.
Very nice to play though, building the vehicles is smooth and frustration free.

Gotta say, Lords of the Fallen 2 looks like the greatest Dark Souls ripoff ever. Maybe it will succeed where all others have failed.

yeah, i have cloudpunk plus the dlc story. Not a lot to them, but a nice chill story to plod through and great looking scenery if you like that sort of thing. I turned off the audio dialogue btw, just a word of warning.

Good god, I thought this was going to be on the hyperbolic side but now having played 5 minutes of it, the VA really is worth turning off.

Have we talked about these Spellbound rumours, ostensibly the working title for the next FromSoft IP?
I'm hoping it'll be amazing, but personally I'd be just as happy for them to keep releasing Elden Ring DLC content every couple of years rather than a new Souls-based franchise. That, or make a Souls game based on the Mandy movie, but that's not gonna happen
― Stomp Jomperson (dog latin), Thursday, 31 August 2023 00:24 (nine months ago) link
AFAIK the sole source of those rumors is a 4chan post, so I am taking that with an enormous grain of salt. IMO it would be cool if Miyazaki & the studio at large broke out more of the Souls formula. I'd really like to see their take on other styles.
― feed me with your chips (zchyrs), Thursday, 31 August 2023 15:34 (nine months ago) link
I watched some youtube video on it, of course I'm down for a new Souls-like variation from From. Their approach to spells really hasn't changed that much from Dark Souls to Elden Ring (and I almost never play a magic-focused build), so I'm into the idea of a wizard game.

xpost A trippy Metroidvania seems like a path not yet taken.
Speaking of Souls-like, everyone seems to love "Lies of P."
― Josh in Chicago, Sunday, 17 September 2023 13:22 (eight months ago) link
Also, the clips making the rounds from Spider-man 2 show off what the PS5 can do when designers actually design with the PS5 exclusively in mind.
― Josh in Chicago, Sunday, 17 September 2023 13:30 (eight months ago) link
For some reason Lies of P just doesn't look appealing to me, b but Lords of the Fallen really does.
― 50 Favorite Jordans (Jordan), Sunday, 17 September 2023 17:06 (eight months ago) link
Lies of P I'm definitely waiting on, but the reviews have been pretty convincing, basically saying it's one of the few Soulslikes that gets it right but also makes the right changes.
― Josh in Chicago, Sunday, 17 September 2023 18:51 (eight months ago) link
I never played Dragon's Dogma but I'm intrigued now seeing some footage from the upcoming sequel. Kinda seems like a blend of Souls-like combat x more straightforward D&D/Baldur's Gate type story & quests? So many giant fantasy games these days.
The first game is only $5 on PS rn, just grabbed that because why not.
― 50 Favorite Jordans (Jordan), Monday, 25 September 2023 17:21 (eight months ago) link
dragons dogma is more like a character action game meets open-world fantasy rpg, not 'souls-like'. its by the same designers as the devil may cry series
― ciderpress, Monday, 25 September 2023 17:34 (eight months ago) link
Ha I guess I haven't actually played any 3D third person action-rpgs besides From games. So that always reads as Souls to me, but I guess Devil May Cry/Monster Hunter/God of War/The Witcher/etc must feel quite different.
― 50 Favorite Jordans (Jordan), Monday, 25 September 2023 17:39 (eight months ago) link
the fundamental gameplay concept of the souls games is "you can't cancel your attacks"the fundamental gameplay concept of character action games is "you can cancel your attacks"
so they're fundamentally opposed
― ciderpress, Monday, 25 September 2023 17:56 (eight months ago) link
(cancel in action game parlance meaning interrupt the attack with a new one before its animation finishes)
― ciderpress, Monday, 25 September 2023 17:57 (eight months ago) link
Interesting, I don't think I've ever heard it put like that before but it makes a lot of sense.
― 50 Favorite Jordans (Jordan), Monday, 25 September 2023 20:14 (eight months ago) link
Hmm. If this is turn-based or tower defense or real time strategy or whatever I'll probably skip, but if this is, as implied, more adventure/story-based, I'm intrigued.

Yeah, two DLC packs are planned.Night Springs – 2024Night Springs will allow players to control several familiar characters from the Alan Wake setting. They’ll experience mysterious and unexplainable events inside multiple, self-contained episodes of a fictional TV show called Night Springs. If you thought Alan Wake 2 got very meta a couple of times, it sounds like you’ll get more of that with this expansion, which should launch some time in 2024.The Lake House – 2024A secret government organization, a lonely research facility, and ambitious scientists – naturally, something goes wrong with that combination of factors being involved. Players will explore the Lake House in this expansion in two separate adventures as the realities of Alan Wake and Saga Anderson once again collide.

Not sure I actually want to get this but lol:
Are you ready to duke it out to “discover who the one true top is in a world of bottoms?” Drag Her is a 2D fighting game featuring real-world drag performers that the developers describe as a “less gay” Mortal Kombat. In addition to traditional fighting gameplay there’s also auto-combos, campy cinematic specials, and assist characters.

Any of the Silent Hill games that make their way to Xbox X/S (f, SH2 remake, etc.). Ascension, the CYOA-type game, seems best watched on YT playthroughs, but The Short Message is getting a few positive reviews. Enough of a stan, hoping the full games are better and not permanently on PS.
