Super Animal Royale and Monster harvest look like fun. Probably don't have the time with knockout city eating away at it.
I am all over Hired Gun. The trailer was amazing.
Yeah, Hired Gun is the highlight here for sure. I'm kind of hoping that some quality comes from Carnivores: Dinosaur Hunt though. One of the greatest crimes in modern gaming is the lack of dinosaur themed shooters, and Turok especially. For a series that hit as hard as it did back in the '90s, I simply don't know how there aren't, like, 4 attempts at reboots in the generations since, and at least 2 ripoff franchises, Jeez. Why do devs nowadays not know how fun it is to shoot dinosaurs and monsters with creative weapons? We should absolutely be living in a world where, like, Crytek, Techland and Flying Wild Hog all took a stab at bringing back Turok by now, y'know? But we aren't so... I guess I'll just have to take what I can get.
While we're at it, Capcom should invest in a "resurrection" of Maximo - in the form of a "HD Remake Duology" obviously. Or heck, I'd be interested in a Gargoyle's Quest/Demon's Crest collection more than this. Ghouls n' Ghosts n' Goblins n' whatevers was always the worst series of those 3 related series if you ask me, and this new version looks weird. Never a fan of paper cutout-style spline animation, even if I do admit they executed the storybook style they're going for well enough. Capcom's really gotta move away from Arthur and start recognizing Firebrand's games and Maximo again.
I’m really tempted with Necromunda Hired gun, especially with the preorder discount, but have learnt my lesson from Biomutant and am gonna wait for the reviews this time!
Ghosts 'n Goblins Resurrection looks interesting!
I'm eager to see what the reception for Necromunda: Hired Gun is like. It's giving off Doom 2016/Doom Eternal vibes and I could go for some of that.
Necromunda and Ghosts 'n Goblins Resurrection is what I'm interested in. Oh, and Astalon!
