Its that time again to list off what I am looking forward too in the next few months for gaming.
1) FTL (indy)
http://www.ftlgame.com/
I am looking forward to this as it reminds me of the classic PSI 5 Trading company. I don't know too much about it besides the videos but its a RTS / Roguelike space combat game that concentrates in the internal systems and crew of your ship.
2) PlanetSide 2 (free2play)
http://www.planetside2.com/
The first planetside appeared at wrong time for me. I hated the idea of pay to play games also my internet connection was 128kb/s.
Most of this won't be a problem for PS2 which is free to play.
3) Firefall (free2play)
http://www.firefallthegame.com/
Where planetside is PVP firefall will have more PVE elements. This game is still a unknown, some of the videos from early beta's haven't looked fun but the game has gone under a redesign to try and bring skill and less gear / levels into play.
4) Evochron Merc expansion (indy)
http://www.starwraith.com/evochronmercenary/development.htm
Better planets, being able to walk around on them and other improvements to the game which has surpassed freelancer for online space sandbox.
5)TorchLight 2 (indy)
http://www.torchlight2game.com/
Multiplayer, Lan, Random Maps, Custom Characters, Mods, Pets, Fun,
Matt Uelmen and no Real Money Auction House CRAP.
The game that diablo wanted to be.
I think that's it, I just have a feeling I am missing something, about cats.
