Support NeoGAF

[Men_in_Boxes]

2024 is about to kick off so I thought it would be interesting seeing where everyone is at in terms of excitement level. What is your confidence level that the next 12 months in gaming are going to deliver the goods when it comes to releases & announcements?

Personally, I haven't been this excited about a year in gaming in...I can't remember that far back. It feels like the GAAS tital wave is finally going to reach us and we're completely out of the woods in terms of cross gen game announcements. That being said, my taste often (always?) conflicts with NeoGAFs so what say you?

[touchfuzzy]

So so. My main interest will be in Nintendo’s new platform so until that’s announced my overall hype is a bit tempered. Some solid looking games in the first few months though and hopefully we get Silksong this year

 

[ShadyAcshuns]

I'm eagerly interested in a few titles, but also maintaining a balance of emotions so as not to be disappointed should they fail to meet expectations. Something like this:

 

[Dazraell]

I'll be probably catching up on my backlog and games from 2023 I haven't yet played

That being said, there are some games I'm looking forward. Some remakes, remasters, sequels, titles on licence, some new original IPs, etc. So not bad as a whole. I'm also very curious about Nintendo's next console

 

[Gen.Grievous]

I know Stalker 2 should be coming out but don't really know of any other game I'm looking forward to.

[Northeastmonk]

I’m super excited. Tekken, Silent Hill, Suikoden, Final Fantasy, and Elden Ring DLC. All I need is a RE announcement. It sounds like a dream.

 

[kittoo]

You said you are eager for more GAAS?

 

[R6Rider]

Excited for DD2 and more PSVR2 titles mostly. Everything else will be a bonus.

 

[Celcius]

Extremely:

Tekken 8
Granblue Fantasy Relink
Persona 3 Reload
Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth
Final Fantasy 14 DawnTrail
Unicorn Overlord
FF16 DLC #2
Splatoon 3 FrostyFest Splatfest in January
FF14 patch 6.55 in January
more characters releasing in fighting games like Granblue Fantasy Versus Rising, Guilty Gear Strive, and Street Fighter 6 as DLC

and all that is just the first half of the year!
Then you've got the upcoming hardware:

Switch 2
PS5 Pro
New Intel generation of CPUs
iPhone 16 Pro Max
maaaaaybe Nvidia Blackwell

 

[PanzerCute]

I am a huge fan of japanse games, especially RPGs. Q1 feels almost too good to be true.

So yeah, I am hyped as fuck.

 

[IDKFA]

Isn't a Fallout 3 remaster supposed to drop in 2024? If so, I'm mega hyped!

 

[RoadHazard]

There isn't much TBH. Nintendo's next console will be exciting to see of course, if it happens. Which I'm assuming it will, surely they can't just coast on the Switch for another year.

 

[Kings Field]

Already preordered DD2 and FF. Besides those and couple Nintendo games I’ll be working on my backlog.

 

[amigastar]

After the fantastic 2023 i hope 2024 can deliver.
I would love a Switch 2 with a new 3D Mario though.

 

[Fabieter]

I have like 10 games in the first 4 month of the year I already bought so its gonna be as insane as 2023 imo.

 

[Xellos]

I'm pretty excited for it, although it's more for indies and smaller games: Mina the Hollower, Metal Slug tactics, Penny's Big Breakaway, Animal Well, Contra, Shantae, Little Kitty Big City, Rift of the Necrodancer, and more. For bigger budget games, Thousand Year Door and FFVII remakes look pretty good, and I'm optimistic about Star Wars Outlaws.

Hopefully Nintendo finally shows Switch 2 and Metroid Prime 4.

 

[Perrott]

The year of PS5 Pro, I can't wait!

 

[rofif]

FF7 rebirth!!!
Dragons dogma 2
Elden Ring DLC will be comically way too hard... but I still can't wait.

Not really anything more to be that excited about but that should be enough

 

[Badlucktroll]

I am hyped, because, the best game shall be released, Silent Hill 2 remake.

 

[tmlDan]

Even if most games im looking forward to don't come out, i feel like for both MS and Sony and potentially Nintendo (new console pls) it could be a banger for announcements.

FF7 Rebirth is all i need this year lol

SH2 is also nice, but im scared of its quality

Dragons Dogma 2 as well hnnnng

 

[Punished Miku]

Prince of Persia
Dragons Dogma 2

That's about it so far.

 

[Go_Ly_Dow]

Very hyped.




and a lot more, but particularly FF7 Rebirth and Metaphor.

 

[Putonahappyface]

So far for me next year.

Possible PS5 Pro and Switch 2

FF7R
Warhammer 40k Space Marine 2
Lost Records Bloom and Rage

 

[bender]

Should be better than this year with Dragon's Dogma 2, Shiren the Wanderer: The Mystery Dungeon of Serpentcoil Island and Thousand Year Door and then sprinkle in some interesting wildcards like Unicorn Overlord and Black Myth: Wukong.

 

[Ass of Can Whooping]

Don't care about the games just want to war more

 

[Drizzlehell]

Nothing that has been announced thus far is of any interest to me. Save for that Star Wars game which I'm not gonna buy anyway because it's Ubisoft and I refuse to pay them any money.

 

[Aenima]

I would be hyped for 2024 just for Dragon Dogma 2 alone, but just the beginning of the years is packed with jrpgs i also want.
Its shaping to be one of my favorite years ever.

 

[Killjoy-NL]

So so.

Didn't really pay much attention to next year yet.

FFVII Rebirth is a must-have, for obvious reasons.
Other than that, I'm looking forward to the PS5 release of Paragon Overprime.

GTA VI is 2025.

 

[Danjin44]

If you are fan of Japanese games, 2024 is gonna be great.

 

[Edmund]

Tekken 8 and FF7 Rebirth is all I need. Can't wait!

 

[Go_Ly_Dow]

I am hyped, because, the best game shall be released, Silent Hill 2 remake.

I pray for your success.

 

[Krieger]

The only game I've pre-ordered so far is Unicorn Overlord. Vanillaware doesn't miss, and everything else I can wait a few weeks/months to go on sale.

 

[Bonfires Down]

Prince of Persia
Dragons Dogma 2

That's about it so far.

I thought you enjoyed a wide variety of games. That’s all you’re interested in?

 

[Meicyn]

Dragon’s Dogma 2, Elden Ring DLC, Rebirth, Granblue Relink, Throne and Liberty, Blue Protocol, Eiyuden Chronicle, are a few titles on my must play list. Also excited for the PS5 Pro.

 

[Player Respawn]

I’m more amped for 2025 lol

 

[Holammer]

I have a pretty hefty inheritance on the way so I'm going to splurge some on hardware in 2024.
Treat myself to a 4090 or 5090, new OLED monitor and some other stuff. Play Dragon's Dogma 2, Relink and some of the games I already have in style. Like Ratchet & Clank's newgame+ with maxed out settings.

Top 2 most awaited games are probably Silksong & Shantae Advance: Risky's Revolution.

 

[SJRB]

 

[Arsic]

I think it’ll be the year for a sleeper agent to take GOTY.

I’m most eager for P3 remake and Atlus new IP.

You do not want to come out in 2025 against the undisputed easy GOTY we all know will win by a landslide. Monster Hunter !

 

[Arsic]

Dragon’s Dogma 2, Elden Ring DLC, Rebirth, Granblue Relink, Throne and Liberty, Blue Protocol, Eiyuden Chronicle, are a few titles on my must play list. Also excited for the PS5 Pro.

Blue protocol I saw on the Japanese store with a 2.67/5 star review with a LOT of reviews.

Apparently it’s a turd.

 

[intbal]

Microsoft didn't drop any new backwards compatible games from the Activision catalog under my Christmas tree, so I'm expecting the whole lot of them in 2024.

Or else.

 

[Ceadeus]

Don't care about the games just want to war more

 

[Neilg]

Extremely hyped. Backlog full of 3-4 months worth of bangers and ff7r2, Yakuza, dd2 all in the first 3 months? A few years ago I'd have struggled to pick which of those titles I wanted more, now I get all of them in the same quarter.

 

[Werewolf Jones]

I got Tekken 8 and the Jujutsu Kaisen game in Jan and Feb otherwise I'm not wishing for time to accelerate faster so I can get to play a game.

 

[Rentahamster]

Let's fuckin' gooooooo

 

[Meicyn]

Blue protocol I saw on the Japanese store with a 2.67/5 star review with a LOT of reviews.

Apparently it’s a turd.

Yeah, I’m hopeful it ends up being okay upon the US launch, but we shall see. Worst case, it costs me nothing upfront other than my spare time.

 

[bender]

I am hyped, because, the best game shall be released, Silent Hill 2 remake.

 

[Wastelander92]

Excited for:
FF VII Rebirth
Tekken 8
Dragon's Dogma 2
Rise of the Ronin
Stellar Blade
Metaphor
Switch 2
Reveals from PS Studios
Rumored Fallout 3/Oblivion remasters
Avowed

 

[Rocco Schiavone]

Only interested in FFVII Rebirth and the PS5 pro. But only If It can deliver 60fps in GTAVI.

 

[SmokedMeat]

I don’t really get amped up anymore. I don’t do preorders, so for me the year will be what great deals come my way. Doesn’t need to be new release titles. Just games I want to play regardless of age.
