The Last of Us
By all accounts (well, from sane people), I've heard this game is the bee's tits.
Puppeteer
I think it's weird that I'm not saying this about any other game on here, but this looks like a game that will remind me why I play games in the first place, why I want to make them. The aesthetic, the mixture of classic platforming stuff with a fresh and quirky mechanic, how damn rich the world looks, more charm than uh... one of these things.
Get it? Charm? Anyone?
Do you love me yet?
Oh man. Yeah, I really can't wait for this one.
Transistor
I knew this was definitely Top 5 material for me, but from there, it was extremely hard to place.
I forget when I'd first heard about Transistor. I'd already played Bastion by that point, and I'd heard the same dudes were making another game. I love the shit out of Bastion, so I figured it would look at least as cool. And well... I guess I was right, if outlandish understatements count as "right".
I mean, I kind of almost cried when I saw it won't even be here 'til 2014, but yeah. Still can't wait.
Rayman: Legends
120 LEVELS OMGWTFIDON'TEVEN
I'm sorry! I'm sorry! No more all-caps, I got it. I just... I had to. Really. But fo'reals, the developers of this game are saying it's the biggest Rayman game to date. Like I said up thurr^ at least 120 levels. Whether that means 120 full goddamn levels or that many levels in a Sonic Generations sense where it's basically the same levels in different modes of play, different challenges, that kind of thing, I have no idea. But oh my globbing GLOB does this look fantastic.
Watch Dogs
Come on. You saw this coming.
I'm not even gonna try to name all the reasons this looks fucking awesome. All I'ma say is: yo fellow Chicagoans, a game in Chicago. About damn time. Okay, besides Blues Brothers and Perfect Dark. Still, first goddamn game since the N64 era to take place primarily in Chicago. Shitcheah.
Final Fantasy XV
Frankly, I'm shocked I'm putting this above Watch Dogs, but hey: I'm a sucker for grandiosity. Big dreamy worlds, impossible hair, ancient weapons and shit: I eat that shit up. If it's done right, obvi. And holy shit does it look like they're doing it right.
I told myself for so long that I didn't give a shit about the ever-mysterious, possibly-bullshit Final Fantasy Versus Blablablawhyisthisaspinoffseries... but holy fuck was I a liar. Damn you Squeenix, winning me back with your devilishly charming self.
I'm sorry gaiz, this... this just looks amazing.
And last but oh-so-very-not-least...
Kingdom Hearts 3
I wanted to put BITCHES after the title, but I feel like it would ruin my little private catharsis. So I'll put it down here.
Kingdom Hearts 3 BITCHES.
I... I hardly slept the night I found out about this. I'll never forget that feeling; bouncing around the internet, going to band practice, consigning myself to checking the internet (coughFacebook) one last time before conking out, and seeing FUCKING (I don't give a shit, here come the caps) KINGDOM HEARTS 3 ALL THE FUCK OVER EVERYWHERE.
I know it won't be 'til like, 2015 (just being realistic, eh?), but... bring it. Fuckin' bring it.
...
Well, that's all for this particular string of posts. Oh please, make your groans of relief a little louder. Dicks.
'Til next time!
