Support NeoGAF

[WhiteWaterM00se]

With the recent rumors of a Switch 2 delay, PlayStation drought until 2025, and possible Xbox (avowed, Indians jones) delays.

Not a whole lot is already announced for the rest of 2024. What are you expecting? Any guesses to big sellers other than COD, Palword (haha), and EAFC?

 

[analog_future]

What makes you think there may be Xbox delays?

"PlayStation drought until 2025"

I thought this is for blockbuster IP sequels.

New IP will still be coming this year?

 

[VideoGameEnjoyer]

Is 'tease' a typo in the title?

Nothing could come out the rest of the year (except Erdtree, need that) and I'd have more than enough to play from recent releases. We're not exactly hurting for good games lately...

 

[WhiteWaterM00se]

I think people are expecting too much of Nintendo and they will pivot and have a VERY quiet year and have far fewer 1st party releases and be ready for a big 2025! Both for Switch 2 and cross gen titles for Switch 1 to usher in the end life and pass ps2!

I still wonder if somehow, if Sony quality greenlit HD remasters of sly cooper or jak and Daxter.

The big hit I think is going to be College Football in America. Seems to be low key hype everywhere.

 

[Angry_Megalodon]

PS5: Helldivers 2 (biggest hit of 2024 so far) - Ronin - Stellar Blade - FFVII Rebirth - DD2.

The first half of the year is stacked. We don't know much about the second half, but Wuthering Waves is a big title and the only actual Genshin Impact competitor.

Yes sir, a typo

 

[WhiteWaterM00se]

Star Wars hunters?

 

[LavitzSlambert]

Maybe some fucken relief so I can actually make progress on my backlog

 

[HerjansEagleFeeder]

This first half is so packed I don't even know how to finish the games just released this year till the end of 2024 with how much time I have.

 

[Morrie’s wig shop]

There’s plenty of games coming.
Stellar Blade and Ronin are set to release, we just got Helldivers 2 on PS
Xbox’s got shit coming throughout the year and this is Switch’s twilight year.

The second half of the year is anyones guess, gamings never been better. Relax, it’s all good.
That title though, my brain lol

 

[theStartupSound]

Give me the new Test Drive some time this year and GTA VI next year and everything is fine.
Ah, and Baby Steps on PS5, that one looked greatly weird

 

[Hudo]

if Sony quality greenlit HD remasters of sly cooper or jak and Daxter.

But which studio could make these? Insomniac are busy with capeshit, Sucker Punch are busy with GoT2 and I wouldn't trust Naughty Dog to make a good Jak & Daxter game.

"PlayStation drought until 2025"

Yep, it was about no sequels in major first-party franchises releasing in the next fiscal year (April 24 - March 25).

 

[killatopak]

I’m having so much fun with 3rd party games this year. I have no issues if the 3 don’t release anything for the year.

 

[StereoVsn]

In no particular order: Infinite Wealth, P3, Tekken 8, DDR2, Unicorn Overlord, Eiyuden Chronicles, FFVII Rebirth, Helldivers 2, Palworld, Rise of the Ronin, and I am not including some of the more interesting Indie/AA games, strategy games/DLC, and forgetting a whole bunch of stuff.

The above is just through April. Frankly who cares what the “Big 3” have at this juncture.

 

[AV]

We'll just play Balatro for a year, it's fine.

 

[TheRedRiders]

I'm really looking forward to the new Assassin's Creed Red - supposed release second half of the year.

Microsoft will probably help with that.

 

[WhiteWaterM00se]

I assume it would be outsourced.

For all the Studios Sony has acquired, if you now factor in the ones that are closed or reassigned, they truly don’t have enough first party studios.

 

[Crayon]

Tekken and rebirth will have me tied up for a minute. I haven't got to play rebirth yet. :< very little time and I've been using it to try to stay brushed up on Tekken because I let my skills rot for too long before it came out.

Then stellar blade and dd2 will have been out for a minute but the time I get to them.

Idk. At this point it seems like I have enough of a game collection to ruin the rest of my life so I don't spend much time worrying for what's ahead.

Nixxes is right there.

 

[Celcius]

It feels like this year was really front-loaded.
There's still plenty to look forward to though:

1. I plan to just keep my base PS5 but if a Pro comes out then many people will upgrade to that
2. Nvidia RTX 5000 series coming out later this year
3. Intel 15th gen cpus and AMD new cpus coming out this fall
4. FF14 Dawntrail coming out this summer
5. The PC version of FF16 later this year
etc...

and possible Xbox (avowed, Indians jones) delays.

Where's that from?

 

[Varteras]

I love how in order to claim a drought in advance for PS, you have to get very specific. "Sony won't be releasing another sequel to one of 7 current major franchises, made by a first-party studio, at $70, releasing on a third Tuesday, featuring a humanoid protagonist, over the next 12 months".

 

[Shubh_C63]

Sony will have amazing remasters, not even kidding. People will flock to a old GoW remake/remaster.

Xbox gonna Xbox

 

[Danjin44]

I'm already getting crazy amount of quality games this year.....


We are still not done yet.
