Any groundbreaking pc game coming out anytime soon?

[pcslookout]

Other than the ones that already were released ?

I need more than one game.

All those games coming to the Windows 10 Store...oh..wait..those are just broken.

That awesome franchise, call of duty, has a new (cod 4 engine) game coming out that lets you shoot the guns in outer space. I think its needs like a core 2 duo and 8800gt. They say gtx 660, but it has to be a lie. COD 4 ran fine on an 8800gt.

oh wait.........

I think almost everything is a rehash at this point. The best solution might be to try a new genre you've never tried before.

There's a lot of creative stuff happening in vr development. I haven't heard about much else on the pc front that would be considered groundbreaking

 

[Borealis7]

Dishonored 2 should come out soon i think.

Games are in the same situation that Hollywood is in right now. It costs too much money to create a AAA title for them to risk failing. The only chance that I can see of breaking the cycle. is if some of these indie projects gain enough traction that a big player will throw some funds at something creative that proved successful there. Until then the best we can hope for is a well done sequel/rehash to what we already have.

Who knows when the release will be, but Cyberpunk 2007. Also, have no idea which games you've already played, but you might want to revisit older games on GOG you haven't played yet.

That's already happened many times, that's why we have gotten so many indie games in the past couple years and many REALLY good indie games.

I haven't seen much. Honestly I'm waiting for HDR gaming to come to the PC since it's starting to be a thing on the XB1 and PS4. It does require a special TV to take advantage of but I'm interested in it personally. Other than that I don't think there has been a whole lot of excitement in game engine development. There's a lot of sequels. What I've been doing is playing a couple titles that have been out for a while that I didn't play before. Some of them are ports of console JRPGs that I never played when they originally released. The newest game I played was DeusEx Mankind Divided but it's not groundbreaking by any stretch to me. Enjoyable enough, but nothing really unique.

I'm more interested in some console exclusives than multiplatform or PC titles at the moment. I'm still looking for that one game that can wrap me up in it's world like The Witcher 3 did though. FPS games and platformers are nice sometimes but they just don't have that special something anymore.

On November 11th the Dishonored 2 coming out.

 

[cbrunny]

some noteworthy games in the short to mid-term, none of which I'd consider groundbreaking but have high probability of being solid games:

Endless Space 2
Final Fantasy 15 (console only for now... I think...)
Borderlands 3
Civ 6 (out now)

probably more. those are just the ones that have caught my attention.

Groundbreaking? Your best bet is to look for indie games. They are generally much more creative than any AAA title you'll see in the market.

So, what are you looking for? RPG? Action RPG? Beat em up? RTS? FPS? Adventure? Sim? Racing?

 

[ImpulsE69]

most times when someone says something like this, what they really mean is, AWESOME GRAPHICS!. Apparently that is the only thing that 'ground breaking means' these days.

I consider non-optimized ports in this age to be ground breaking because it takes some real lack of effort and/or skill to make and overlook half the stuff that gets released these days as AAA and then scratch their heads as to why people are upset about it.

I would be curious what he thinks was groundbreaking this year.

 

[zinfamous]

There's a new Elder Scrolls game that was released this last week. Skyrim, I think it's called.

No idea when they are coming out (almost certainly not 2017), but the only games I am looking forward to right now are Borderlands 3 and Cyberpunk.

 

[[DHT]Osiris]

Go give Dwarf Fortress a few hundred hours of your life if you haven't. It's both groundbreaking and ground breaking (meta). Also it'll make you hate the lack of freedom/creativity in most other games, so that's a bonus.

 

[Fenixgoon]

Tyranny is probably the closest thing I've seen to ground-breaking as of late. Honestly the indie games are probably your best bet for unique ideas.

 

[maniacalpha1-1]

What predictions for the kind of game that will bring us something we don't really have right now, or that we do, but not well developed? Hard to think of examples; but I mean, a Star Wars game like Planetside in terms of territory control, but with a No Man's Sky universe size, and that has space to ground landings, that would be a pretty big deal.

Or maybe something in VR?

 

[Stg-Flame]

You're asking for a mishmash of different genres and nobody who has tried that has succeeded. The only thing remotely close would be VR and considering the full-body setups required for immersive experiences are far beyond the cost anyone can afford right now, you're stuck to strapping a sweaty hunk of plastic to your face and shaking your head for a few hours.

 

[sxr7171]

Definitely VR there isn't anything on regular PC that has caught my interest. Except BF1 which is much better than I expected but I think it too will get old. VR is a like whole other world compared to what came before. But just keep in mind most games are short but there is no shortage of games right now. I have ones bought and paid for I haven't had time to try for weeks now.

Star Citizen...

I think I saw something about a new Red Dead Redemption.. maybe that will make it to PC?

 

[Kalmah]

I want Bioware (pre EA) back(Let's get a proper Neverwinter Nights 3 with D&D ruleset) I want to to see Spore actually be made the way it was expected. Maybe another Sid Meier's Pirates, I would like for Firefly to make a Stronghold game that doesn't suck.. Still waiting to see if SPAZ2 turns out decent, not really PC, but a new Final Fantasy Tactics would be badass.

^ Would love to see this myself. Unfortunately what you're describing is what "Sword Coast Legends" attempted and failed at due to trying to be everything to everyone. The 'bottleneck' to re-creating Golden Era PC-exclusive games isn't technological, it's psychological. There's always pressure to water down "technical" RPG's to appeal to the ARPG crowd. Not to mention D&D Rulesets peaked at 3.0/3.5e for many of us and half the reason SC:L failed was wide dislike of many 5e changes. (Even Pillars of Eternity got criticised for using 4e in some areas, eg, removal of immunities resulting in silly stuff like fire-breathing dragons hurt by fireballs, "frightened" spectres, oozes "slipping" from Grease spells, etc) and a general loss of that "D&D combat feel" compared to 2-3e.

Even after all these years, quite honestly the best sequel to NWN 1 is finding yet another great missed +20-60hr Epic NWN1 module (Aielund Saga, Dreamcatcher, etc) on Neverwinter Vault. The "old" Bioware is long dead my friend. What you'll get now is pure "designed for the casual audience, risk-taking and creativity are evil" EA.

I so want to like this game, the lack of menus and mouse control make it impossible
