[Half Life 3 (HL3) doesn’t count as we already know that game is still a long way off from coming out. Like another 5 or more years.]

      The first time splitters was one of my favorite games ever. I don’t remember why, but the second one I didn’t like nearly as much.

      If it’s not out within the next 4 years, it will officially be the case that more time has passed between Elder Scrolls 5 and 6 than Elder Scrolls 1 through 5.

      17 years between Arena and Skyrim compared to 13 years so far since Skyrim’s release in 2011 (and counting, almost up to 14 years if counting from calendar year alone).

      When Skyrim came out, Bethesda promised free new Bethesda games for life to parents of kids born on 11/11/11 who named their child Dovahkiin. Young Dovahkiin is almost in high school now, and of the promised free games, their parents have earned a whopping:

      • Fallout 4
      • Fallout 76
      • Starfield

      Hope it was worth it.

      That announcement and the “development progress” follow up was fake to placate people getting angry over Failout 76. If they even started to working on it, it was 2023 the soonest.

        Pretty sure they said they weren’t going to working it till after Starfield. So it is still in early dev right now.

    If you want Half Life 3, go play the Entropy Zero mods. It’s fanon, but they actually respect the franchise. Think of it as HL2’s own Opposing Forces. The first one is good, but the second is better in every regard.

    What I’m looking forward to the most right now is whatever the next installment of Entropy Zero will be. There’s some spinoff stuff and a proper sequel in the works.

    I’m also interested in Project Borealis, but that’s untested for the moment.

    I’m not exactly expecting a sequel, but something in the Freelancer universe. Best spaceflight-ship-action combat game ever made, but never got the love it deserves… Even the story was good and entertaining.

    Today all X3 spaceflight-ship are either a pain in the ass where you have to be an engineer to even get started, or need to grind 1000 hours to even begin to have “fun”. I miss freelancer’s simplicity and space fights…

      Loved Freelancer! Did you try the Everspace games? They’re the closest to a spiritual successor that I’ve played.

        Yeaaah I tried the last one, while It comes close and was fun to play, I missed the free universe roaming even if it was mostly empty (like the real deal xD).

    Horizon Zero Dawn/Forbidden West sequel. Love the entire series and while christmas this year came early with both a Zero Dawn Remaster and a LEGO Horizon Adventures release (and I’m also really into LEGO so yay!) I can’t wait to see how the story continues after the developments in part two.

    Elder Scrolls 6, but after Starfield shown Bethesda is willing to sabotage the best thing about their games (modding) for no reason i’m not hyped at all.

    X-Com 3, but i’m extremely pessimistic after the awful Chimera Squad, completely missed Midnight Suns and the generally weird direction entire genre seems to take lately with abandoning strategic layer in favour of boring sneaky real time exploration.

    I would love Battletech 2 and Battlefleet Gothic 3 but there is zero hope after both of those series got dropped harder than 1000 ton steel ball in the ocean.

    I would love a new Mother game to be honest…

    or another Super Lucky’s Tale, with a bit more challange. That game was a real surprise, how nice of a platformer it is, also really really great music.

      I’ve been saying a new mother game or at least remake in the same art style of the studio that did echoes of wisdom and links awakening would be phenomenal

        Well, to be frank, I don’t really like that style. But wouldn’t matter; new Mother!

    Been watching and waiting for Hollow Knight 2 for entirely too long, but I’d rather have a polished but delayed game then a crap rushed one.

    Probably Freelancer it’s going to sound weird because supposedly the Elite/X games are better, but I’ve honestly never enjoyed them as much as I liked Freelancer.

    Basically flying about in a ship, doing missions and upgrading weapons etc until you can buy a better ship, online was fun as well.

    So yeah Id like them to reboot it.

      Yep Freelancer was awsome ! Online fights were epic !

      Going in the Nomads sector to drop their weapon or looking for a hidden ship wreck in a meteor cloud or just chilling in the empty/cold space and blasting pirates you encounter.

      The single player story was very enjoyable and was not that bad for the time. Makes me sad it’s in the hands of Microsoft’s cold case :(.

      Damn I miss this game !

      NMS was what I hoped would be the freelancer part 2 but it’s just an exploring game. While fun on its own, completely lacks any real danger and that just kills it for me.

    Mario RPG. No the Paper Mario and Mario & Luigi series (while fine games themselves) do not count.
