Upcoming Games (PC-centric Edition)

Release Date: TBA
Very little on this since the 2019 Game Awards show debut teaser. By PUBG creator Brendan Greene who has said many might find the game "boring". On paper, sounds like another No Man's Sky that may be more interesting for the developer to develop than for the player to play. Although some have speculated that it could be a procedurally generated hardcore survival roguelike which could make the randomized universe thing far more interesting. Nevertheless, the PUBG wiki notes that on September 3, 2021, "Brendan Greene left PUBG Corp to work on his own studio and keep prologue under his company named 'PLAYERUNKNOWN Productions'." Doesn't sound like an abandoned project or something on the backburner.

Cool. I'm playing Vermintide 2 right now. Then I'm going to play Company of Heroes 3 in February. Then switch to Diablo 4 when it comes out in the Summer.
 
2023
An MMORPG that has been in development for over a decade, by the Korean company NCSoft, the same publisher behind Guild Wars, and is probably the most anticipated in the subgenre coming in 2023. The project looked dead before it was acquired by a new game producer in 2017. In Feb-2023, Amazon signed a deal to publish the game in Japan & the West, so it looks like they've finally got their shit together. PvE focused.

Just curious why the new Ubisoft games like AC:Valhalla not previously available on Steam became available and yet Far Cry 6 isn't.

Because Far Cry 6 is an Epic exclusive. So even Ubisoft crawling back to Steam won't put it on there.

2023
An upcoming release from Sega by Creative Assembly. The game director has openly declared their ambitions to have this game become a player in the world of MP shooters. The goal for your team is to plunder the most loot.
Earth is gone, the rich have colonized Mars and the rest of humanity is living their worst life in The Taint, a giant orbiting slum. While humanity is trying to survive, the Mars billionaires are more worried about fulfilling their nostalgic dreams. Plunderships, massive retail spacecrafts dedicated to selling salvaged pop-culture artefacts from Earth, our artefacts, at space-high prices to satisfy their desires.

We, an unlikely pack of talented robbers, hit the Mars elite where it hurts most: their stuff A.K.A. OUR stuff. They call us “HYENAS.”

We get in, empty some clips into their security clones and other “preventative measures”, steal all the best stuff then get out. Exploding a clone in zero gravity is kind of messy, but as long as we make it out with the merch it’s worth it.

So, you in?

Because @Hitman81 mentioned it in the other thread. Next-gen only game. Apparently it will be the most realistic simulation focused on the majors ever made with specific attention to detail paid to courses that are commonly--or always-- played for those four tournaments (ex. Augusta, St. Andrews, Pebble Beach, Brookline, Oakmont, Southern Hills).

Is there a big golf gaming scene? I assumed that most golf enthusiats would be too damn old for vidya games.
 
So first Returnal raised eyebrows with it's required specifications sheet. Now Forspoken has done the same. I'll add this to its post.

32gb? That’s insane.

The other thing about that spec sheet that intrigued me was the gaping difference between the requirements for NVIDIA vs. AMD at Ultra: RTX 4080 vs. RX 6800 XT. They're both second-best-in-class cards, but the 6800 XT is from a full generation back. For perspective, the 4080 is a whopping 43% stronger than the 6800 XT in 3DMark, and scores ~30%-35% higher fps average across games.

The PS5 runs on a custom AMD card, yes, but I don't think that's why, because at the lower settings/resolutions we see generally equal counterparts. The best explanation I can surmise is that the VRAM is the limiting factor there. The 3080 only has 10GB (there is also a 12GB version), and the 3080 Ti has just 12GB. Apparently that isn't enough. The 4080 and 6800 XT both have 16GB. So assuming the recommended spec sheet isn't misleading, which they often are, and the NVIDIA quote isn't exaggerated, NVIDIA gamers will require a 3090, 3090 Ti, 4080, or 4090 to meet enthusiast demand. All are $1,200+ on the market right now. Conversely, you can buy the RX 6950 XT for just $700 right now.

If that becomes a common gap at the enthusiast end, it will be just one more reason AMD trounces NVIDIA on value.
