Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze.

I really enjoyed DKCR, despite some problems with the difficulty here and there during my first time playing it through. On my second run, however, I found myself having a much easier time – I was bad at the game when I first played it, go figure! Both times, though, there were some levels that I thought were total bullshit (batcave in World 4). I loved the level design for the most part, the art direction was fantastic, the tunes were great in some instances, and I really liked the mechanic of collecting banana coins to buy an extra heart or a parrot for some puzzle pieces. I loved looking for KONG letters and puzzle pieces.

Tropical Freeze looks like it'll fix some issues with the level design from the first game, which is great to see. From what I can tell, as well, I love the way Retro is incorporating 3D into its level design.

Uh...that's it I think.

Edit: Oh, holy shit. How did I forget about Destiny?

So, yeah. Um...Destiny. Can't wait to dive into the world Bungie has created with my own ship, character, and do an amazing amounts of exploring. Absurdly hyped for the beta. The question right now for me is – what do I play it on? Will I be able to get a PS4 by February? Will I get an Xbox One? I don't know...

Meh, I'm more thinking about Early 2014 at the moment. Not all of 2014.

Half of the "confirmed for second half 2014" games are going to be pushed into 2015 as is always the case a year from launch. I have serious doubts that X will make it to the west in 2014, but we'll see.

Anyhow, I'm not jumping on Next gen this year, so I will go with Might and Magic X and Bravely Default for my current platforms.

THE WITCHER 3.

Read all the books in the meantime, playing the first game again is like a brand new game now that I get all the references. My hype is maximum.

Maybe it won't make 2014, but so far that.

Otherwise X. Which also may not make it.

Uh...

DARK SOULS 2.. isn't next-gen.

Uh...

Maybe inFamous or Destiny then.

The Order 1886, no doubt about it. I love steampunk, I love everything I've seen from the game so far, here's hoping the game creates a big universe and the gameplay gives justice to the art/visuals/setting!

I'm so pumped for X, xenoblade made me believe in the console JRPG again.

Runner up Bayonetta 2 really liked the first, no idea how they're gonna turn it up a notch pass W101 though.

Assuming the following is true,

I don't know that it's going to be released simultaneously, but I can say that an NOE employee slipped to me that localization is occurring alongside development.

This is not a guarantee of anything (it could be halted or pulled or sat on for literally any reason), but there you go.

if the game is delayed, I think it would be because of developmental factors and not localization ones. They've got an incredibly ambitious game on their hands and it's their first HD title, so I wouldn't be surprised if the game was pushed back (in fact, I think even Xenoblade needed to have its deadline extended).

Also, since when was Final Fantasy XV confirmed for 2014?

I’ve recently joined as the co-director, and I’m currently giving it my all, along with the Final Fantasy Type-0 team, and development is going smoothly. We’re currently plunging into an important phase, where the engine developers and game developers are preparing to work together.

If there is a God, he himself would have to intervene to get the game out of the development hell it finds itself in to have it released for 2014. If you'd told me two or three years ago that "Versus XIII" would be releasing in 2016, I'd have called you a hyperbolic nut. Now, however? It actually seems like a realistic possibility.

This probably sounds pretty sad, but Final Fantasy X HD for the Vita is my most anticipated 2014 release (in the US, probably. Don't think it's going to make 2013 in US). Still looking forward to a lot of next gen games, but the thought of portable FFX makes my mouth water.

Oh yes, and how could I forget The Legend of Heroes: Second Chapter.

There's a couple of games that have my interest but the two games i'm excited for and really want to play are "InFamous : Second Son" and "The Order : 1886". Yup.

The Witcher 3 easily.

I'm also interested in Sunset Overdrive and Halo, due to the developers behind both having a lot to prove.

Edit. Titanfall looks to reignite my interest in multiplayer as well.

Thus far, only Donkey Kong Country, Mario Kart 8, and Diablo III: Reaper of Souls.

I know Smash Bros. is currently set for next year, but I'll only believe it when I see an actual release date announced.

People are taking a lot of liberties with this thread... Confirmed 2014 releases people. Not TBC.

Anyway, Destiny and Infamous getting a lot of love. I am glad about that.

Why The Order is however, when we've seen so little of it, I don't quite understand.
