SMT: Nocturne remake. Hopefully the kinks are worked out by the time we get it.
SMT V. I have zero faith this is going to make 2021 and am fully expecting a delay to 2022 by E3.

Will this be the year that The Artful Escape finally releases? Or maybe Cuphead: The Delicious Last Course?
I mean, given my username, the obvious one I'm looking forward to is No More Heroes III, but those other two have been quiet for so long that they have my interest a bit more.
I forgot about NMH 3. I genuinely hope it's better than the abysmal NMH2, because I loved the first one.
And speaking of Cuphead, wasn't that supposed to get a Switch release?
Going to start this with my kid in lockdown, never played it on Wii U.
Can't think of much else. Horizon I think will be bumped to 2022. Guess the joke is Cyberpunk 2077?, got a cheap copy on Facebook the day before it properly hit the fan so have it in a drawer with the mind to go back to it once I pick up a PS5.
Was excited about the ME remake but sounds like a lazy cash-in like 3D all stars so will likely not bother having still got the original trilogy.
I haven't been keeping up with 2021's releases but from looking at the games mentioned here I'm interested in 'Breath of the Wild 2' and God or War Ragnarok, but I doubt either will make a 2021 release. That really leaves Horizon: Forbidden West but I don't know how Guerilla would match the story of the original.
I'm somewhat interested in Deathloop despite never getting into the studio's previous games. I want to be excited for Ratchet and Clank: Rift Apart but was disappointed by the 2016 game compared to Tools of Destruction and A Crack in Time on the PS3.
I will pick up Imposter Factory at some point. While Finding Paradise wasn't as good as To The Moon, it delved a bit more into the implications of Sigmund Corps work and I want to see where Kan Gao takes it.

That's my one concern for "Horizon Forbidden West" too. The gameplay is so fun that I do want more, but one of the highlights of the first game was slowly discovering the secrets of the Zero Dawn Project and realising that all of my theories (time travel! amnesia! etc) were wrong. I loved that the game pulled off a delicate balancing act of taking a deliberately nerdy and silly (but joyous) Robo-Dinosaurs-vs-Katniss-Cavegirl premise and combining it with a story that had real emotional depth and explored interesting philosophical and sci-fi concepts. I do get that they left room open for a sequel, but I don't know if a subsequent game can pull off the same unexpected trick the first game did. If the gameplay is as fun as in the first game I'll be happy, but I'm a little tentative about what the plot will be.
I’m not really excited for anything this year really. Maybe it’s just lockdown gloom, or the fact that a lot of games are going to be delayed, but yeah. Ratchet & Clank I guess? And Returnal.
There's also a bunch of Indies coming up that look interesting. Chinatown Detective which I mentioned elsewhere, dead excited to play a detective game set in Singapore. Eastward which is a a game from a studio in Shanghai that seems like a pixel art RPG version of The Last of Us. Dustborn is a road trip adventure game with a really cool art style.
Hello lads, long time no see. Figured I'd pop in for New Year's festivities.
My list of 2021 Hype looks something like this:
Ys IX: Monstrum Nox
The Medium
Ghostwire: Tokyo
New Pokemon Snap
Vampire: The Masquerade - Bloodlines 2
House of Ashes
Horizon: Forbidden West
Resident Evil 8
Likely forgetting some, and the continued global lockdowns mean nothing is certain, but The Medium and Ys IX both being out in the next 30 days will be a treat for sure.
