With MS''s main show over, Sony's rumored show later this year and although GOWR is looking set for November, it could slip, and Nintendo already pushing BOTW2. Is 2023 the year of gaming nirvana? What are the games everyone is interested in?

Things will get delayed into 2024, let's not play ourselves here. Don't disappoint yourself and assume that every game announced for 2023 will come out in 2023.
I've been caught-red handed talking about "next year" since like 2019 but this time I think we really are in for something special
Honestly, I don't feel much better about gaming today than I did a month ago. I'll play Wo Long when it comes out, but past that I don't really feel like there's anything coming that I'm interested in.
The industry's current favorite trends just don't appeal to me in any way, and none of my favorite genres seem to be well-represented in the modern era. It's kind of like going to a theme park that's all rollercoasters when you get extreme motion sickness.

It's so stacked, that games which are finished will be delayed to create space between releases.
Yeah lol. In jan 2022 we were looking foward to Starfield, Elden Ring, GoW, BotW2 and more all in the same year. Half of the list is delayed out of the year as of now.
I remember this time last year when people thought 2022 would be crammed with big games, but for the most part that was only true up to the February/March. I think I am o ly really hyped for Nintendo stuff for the rest of the year, but as the industry likes to pretend Nintendo doesn't exist then this year sure will seem barren to most.
Same thing is going to happen with 2023 tooā¦ It's just too soon after Covid for a huge year.

I don't know if anything will top 1998 for me. Just to name a few:
- OoT
- MGS1
- Half-Life
- RE2
- Banjo Kazooie
- StarCraft
Don't do this to yourself. Game delays are so common, I highly doubt even half of the games shown today to be releasing in next 12 months hit the target.
Can't wait for that BotW2 delay in 2023. Instead we'll be invited to buy WWHD and TPHD separately at full price.
No. If things didn't get delayed from this year it would have been, but as things stand the big hitters are spread out over the two years too much.
Honestly, I'm usually a cynical fuck but I don't think the "50% of games will be delayed" thing will really come true. When it comes to 'big hitters', we have:
Games with Actual Dates:
- Dead Space
- Resident Evil 4
Games with a Timeframe in Q1/Q2
- Starfield
- Forza Motorsport
- Final Fantasy XVI
- Redfall
- Suicide Squad
Games with no defined date:
- BotW2
- Star Wars Jedi: Survivor
- Diablo IV
- Alan Wake 2
- Marvel's Spider-Man 2
- Street Fighter 6
And, from all that, I can only really see Spider-Man 2 and Alan Wake 2 falling into 2024, and I don't see any of the early-year titles being delayed that far.
I think, even if all of those "no defined date," games get massive delays, here's no chance that next year will be as relatively lacklustre as this year has turned out to be.

I hope so will see how it turns out š I said the same think last year about this year and here we are with one of the weaker years to dateā¦ It does look pretty damn stacked tho
