KotC 2 is looking amazing

Copper dreams could be good, i trust these guys, bought sits just to support them.

Disco elysium has all the makings of great vaporware.

Barkley 2 is great vaporware.

Expeditions could be good, if it doesnt get swallowed by SJWs.

Encased looks like something that COULD be good, wasnt on my radar

I want to know whos retarded enough to vote for wasteland 3 after wl2 and numanuma and bt4

The rest i dont know much about or care at all, hopefully they are good. MRY may come through, he is a bro, but i really dont care for the kind of games he makes.

 

[Infinitron]

I figure after Pathfinder and ATOM, Encased should be on more people's radars. The Russians have learned to make good RPGs.

Wasteland 3 might be good, personally I'm waiting to see some gameplay footage.

 

[Watser]

Projas explain yourself.

 

[Projas]

I didn't even play WL2 or BT4 tbh, but WL3 has Ziets as a lead designer which gives me hope.

[Infinitron]

Upon further consideration, I've decided to add two additional games to the poll - Rhuantavan's Call of Saregnar and RatTower's Monomyth.

I am humbled.

 

[Jinn]

Damn, there are only two on that list that I'm not looking forward to. 2019 is going to be a good year for RPGs.

Wasteland 3 because lol inXile and System Shock 3 because lol Otherside Entertainment and Underworld Ascendant

 

[Abu Antar]

I voted for everything but:
System Shock 3
Monomyth
Barkley 2: Revenge of Cuchulainn

I backed Wasteland 3 at the lowest tier, I'm excited to see what they can do improve or mess up.

Another game that could be in the list. Hopefully this isn't dead, even though I think it might be:
Dungeons of Aledorn Release Date: TBA

 

[Rev]

I didn't even play WL2 or BT4 tbh, but WL3 has Ziets as a lead designer which gives me hope.

Ziets still has at least a good game in him, I actually trust him (the parts he wrote/designed for TToN are the only ones which are decent/good), but I think his potential will just be wasted by inXile and the game will be just as mediocre as their other games.
I hope to be proven wrong ofc, but I don't think I will be. Hopefully he'll get hired at a better company and will make a good rpg some day, with a good team behind him.

 

[Roguey]

Feeling confident Wasteland 3 will have a better story than Pillars of Eternity and Deadfire.

 

[KeighnMcDeath]

Almost looks like a dude in a dress & wig. Nah... ain’t as bad as say:

Spoiler

Among my choices: Realms Beyond, Stygian, druidstone, encased and and Disco*

Oh Barkley... I just doubt it.

 

[MRY]

MRY may come through, he is a bro, but i really dont care for the kind of games he makes.

I think Fallen Gods will get finished eventually; not sure exactly when though. We've also made some progress on Strangelands, but that's an adventure.

Infinitron Technically speaking, you're a ~Norse god trying to make your way back into ~Asgard. Consider yourself a fampyr heading toward biawacsgard.

 

[DemonKing]

Probably only Druidstone & possibly Realms Beyond at the moment. Also interested in this game which the developers claim on the front page will (finally) be out in 2019: http://skullstonegame.com/

The screenshots for the original KotC made my eyes bleed so never got into that despite the good reviews...so haven't really thought about KotC 2 yet.

 

[Rahdulan]

I'm not voting on anything yet, but Stygian, Colony Ship, Disco Elysium and Copper Dreams definitely have my attention. Hopefully most of the candidates actually come out this year.

 

[KeighnMcDeath]

KotC 2 looks like a dungeon masters tool at first.

One name, Ziets.

Well thats setting a pretty low bar.

Yep. You'd have to be bidimensional to go below it.

 

[DJOGamer PT]

There only one game in this list I'am allowed to shill for:

 

[buffalo bill]

Good list, but does not include any roguelikes.
Specifically, Caves of Qud. Also, seems like there will probably will be another version of Infra Arcana out this year.

 

[Achilles]

Lots of cool stuff on the horizon.

 

[Quillon]

where iz muh'cyberpunk & tow? aRPGs don't qualify? Lacrymas bent codex to his will?

This is the list of incline, not the list of console.
