Prey 2 seemed really cool with a distinct space noir tone and interesting ideas. But then Zenimax had to be ****oles and canceled it apparently. :(
If that's true then hopefully it'll get resurrected under a different name, like Sleeping Dogs. Not expecting miracles from it, but there were parts of games like Streets of LA and Wheelman that were really entertaining. And that's the appeal of this game for me. Looks like fun.
Hopefully Zenimax won't cancel Dishonored. Games like this rarely get to have a budget these days. Basically it's some kind of Deus Exish Thief Geist+ in steampunk Half-Life 2 land.
Depending on how well IO manages to retain the core appeal of its predecessors, I'm excited about Hitman Absolution for the same reason. Hitman was all about surveying your surroundings, experimenting and finding different ways of achieving your goal. That sense of exploration and experimentation, poking and prodding at a simulation, is something I find highly appealing. The Hitman games have also had some pretty great levels and scenarios to play around in.
Steel Battalion. Fistbump.
Oh and Grand Theft Auto V. Always end up messing around in these things a lot.
Big fan of the first two, but perhaps a great part of the reason was the distinct quality Remedy brought to them. I'll buy it and I'm sure it will be good, but will see if I like Max Payne 3 as much as the originals.
